I knew something like this would happen with those stupid push button starts

Was wondering how all these newer vehicles and trucks were getting stolen so easily

Those fobs need a simple on/off switch so they quit transmitting.

Those devices have been out since remote starts were invented.. This is were you dont skimp on a remote start and get one of the better units

I think you only have to worry if it's a passive entry system(keyless entry), where it senses the key...

put your key in a foil bag, or don't leave next to door, most of the problem solved

the newer readers do not car if your key or fob is around. they can crack the code right from the veh..

I have one left over from Burger Baron if anyone wants it. Only a small amount of BBQ sauce inside.
