It may be a joke on some vehicles, and not on others.....depending on just how the fob-system operates. I thought I'd post it just for the record. Here's another source on the subject:

No disrespect. You post a lot of detailed reviews and are very active here. Why not give this "hack" a try and report back? Maybe video it.

[By the way--that was the longest 3:00 minute video I have ever watched. It literally could have been about 12 seconds long]
Even the story you linked, has a link of its own in the comments: https://www.snopes.com/coin-car-handle-warning/

Thanks. I was going to try it today, but we had too much snow and ice.....got up inside the door-cracks and froze. I might try it next week, after a couple days of melting.

Yes. It was part of a system that brought unusual snow to the Deep South (especially this early in the season), even as far as Brownsville, TX (same latitude as Miami).....which is quite rare. We occasionally get storms in December in the DC area...it is not unusual. But we usually get most of our snow in January and February.
