     Just thought I would pass on a bit of information I discovered the last time I got locked out of my Rodeo. It had electric door lock toggle switches on the top of the door/arm rest as does the Titan. Well I failed to gain entry with a "slim-jim" and was about to admit defeat and bust one of the rear windows as it was late on a saturday night and I had to 300 miles early the next morn. My dad called a friend of his and he came over and was in my truck in under 3 minutes. 

     It was so simple I couldnt believe it. He simply grabbed the top of the door, gently pulled it away from the frame and slid a thin piece of wood between the door and the frame. With the 1/2" gap he had created, he slipped a long straight wire in and simply hit the toggle button and unlocked the doors. 

Anyone that has to leave their Titan in a parking garage or at an airport overnight, I would suggest making some type of cover out of plastic or metal flashing and cover the toggle switches...I'm gonna make a couple and keep them in my console.
