Yes it can be opened with a slim jim, but it is not that easy, u really need to know where to put the toll and how to move it, a locksmith can do it quickly

I locked keys in car, still in the ignition of my 2010 Chevy Malibu. Where should I place the slim Jim to unlock door.

Best bet is to call a lock smith and have him get in the car for you. Later model cars are designed to prevent slim jim from working in mast cases. The cost of the locksmith will be small compared to the possible damage and having to replace broken window, linkage or wiring in the door.

How do I slim jim into my 2006 chevy colorado with the keys locked inside?

it depends if your door has the antitheft plate,most cars have them now,its just a small metal plate inside the door to stop a slim Jim,if you door has a lock pin you can hook with banding that's the way to get in,but you will need a wedge to open the top of the door just a few mm then take the banding fold it in half and push it in the gap then slide one half forward to open the banding hook the lock pin then close the banding and pop the lock ok.
