The lock cylinder is a direct connect from the cylinder to the lock assembly. If the friend is actually rotating the key the lock assembly should be unlatching. There's no electrical involved with the "unlock" function outside the car using the key - it's all mechanical, lever on locking cylinder connected with a nylon retainer to the rod then rod to latch. I'd guess your friend is attempting to rotate the key in the wrong direction. If he's got the correct keys!
