I think Toyota is generally backwards compare to other brands. My gf's RX300 is the same.
BTW when I first got the car I tried the BRZ mechanical key on the door and trunk and it took some finesse but I eventually got it to work. The key will no longer bend after the initial try.
It feels mechanical to me. Are you guys sure it's just a solenoid? The inside door lock pulls 2 cables as I've taken the door cards off before to see that.
