Two ways to keep thief's from getting into your car and stealing it. 1: Lock the doors manually, it does not transmit a signal. 2: Buy a car with a stick shift!

@Clinton Shaun Why are you posting this here and secondly you just doxxed your hacker. You obviously are just incredibly ignorant but please do not do this again. Unlikely this will lead to something but the wrong person may see it and go after him. If you really like him just ask for a dm or something instead of openly advertising them.

[@kabloosh699]

Cyber security is always a catch up game. The bad guys are always coming up with something new and the good guys are stuck patching it up the best they can. It's important to know that no system is 100% secure, but you can add layers of security that will discourage bad guys from wanting to break into your car or computer or whatever. Just adding a simple lock on the diagnostic port can work wonders in preventing thieves from jacking your car. Parking a in a more secure area is another form of security. Being more discreet in what you are doing can help as well. There are simple steps you can take to lower your chances of being a victim of a crime.

[@mr.2cents.846]

GM says customer safety is important to them. So that ignition fault that resulted in the deaths of a lot of people means nothing?

[@perryfroze]

+IIGrayfoxII Of-course the GM guy is going to say his cars are safe he's a sales man and thats what sales people say. But to save yourself some stress read Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Yes haven't you seen fight club? AxBxC=X ..... But what does X mean??

[@Albrat28]

X is the total cost of settlements. A is the cost of settlement B is the severity on a scale of 1 to 10. (a failure of brakes would get a 8, failure of the Air con would get a 1.) C is the number of vehicles with the fault. If X is greater than the cost of a recall then you do a recall.

[@tchevrier]

that's not how it works.

Most likely.. But that is what they say / insinuate in Fight Club, which is what I was talking about. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

[@kde5fan737]

That is BS that anyone buying a key programmer on Ebay would "more than likely not be legitimate". I lost my key for my car and they wanted $300 to program the car and another $150 for a new key and it's a 2000, not something very new. I could buy a new key, 2 fobs, ignition and programmer for about $175 - and closer to half that if you buy the key software and a programming kit seperate.

Way back in the 70's, before hi tech, my buddy had a very desirable classic that he wanted to protect. He had the rear number plate on hinges such that it could drop down. Before attempting to start the car he would hit a secret button that de-armed the system. If not pressed the car would start normally but the engine would cut out after a few minutes leaving the thief stranded. All this time the rear licence plate had dropped down to reveal a "this car has been stolen" notice.. sometimes lo tech is better

[@Obsurdious]

Easy fix, program a second command on the same key (the panic button), so you would need to disarm the panic first then unlock the doors. That way when the thief tries to unlock the car the "panic" goes off. Personally I have an alarm system that is separate from the cars security own, so even if they get to unlock, the alarm will go off the moment it is unlocked without disarming the system first.

[@Stongray67]

exactly

[@topmusic1406]

unless there is some kind of 3d ultra scanner which can make replicate of the same key

[@crnjo9575]

Keys can be duplicated very easy even without the original key. The safest lock is your own custom lock.

You could say it is irresponsible to show this but thieves already know it. It's the general public that need to know it so they will know NEVER to leave anything valuable in a car. If the car gets stolen and you still have the key, it will be replaced by your insurers. If you've left something personal in the car, like a phone or laptop, it may be irreplaceable.

There are other ways to defeat the thieves and totally frustrate their efforts to steal cars by these methods. At worst, it will force them to have to work much harder and longer at figuring out what is keeping them from reprogramming your car and getting it to start.

Well yeah, of course the industry is complacent if you loose your car you need to get a new one.

[@bobroberts2371]

Yes I know this is an old post. There are some issues here. Auto makers are not going to want their cars to be stolen because insurance rates go up will make it more difficult for people to buy cars. And, if the cars were 100 % secure and did not allow for reprogramming, you would be complaining that you have to junk your car because you lost your keys.

tjeulink true but still requires more skill than just pressing a button ;) We know that if they want to get acces they will get it, now why make it easy? why not go back the the old annoying and time consuming and skill requiring way.

Before retiring I was a Field Service Engineer. I carried a lot of very expensive gear in my station wagon. We did not have electronic locks then, just car keys but we still had thieves. So I had large steel box made with a solid padlock and chain loop so it could be bolted down inside car. On the case I put some stickers on the box so any one looking in could read "Radiation Hazard. Nuclear Material." No one ever broke into my car & forceed open that steel box to grab my equipment. The driver @ 2:40 who lost every thing. Are we learning yet?

[@RusticShine]

I have had a car stolen from me once now I have a very easy way to prevent my car from being stolen.. I have a hidden toggle switch tucked away that when i am not using it i flip the switch. this in return kills power to the fuel pump relay. even if you can break into my car good luck going anywhere if it doesn't run.

[@3131Bubba1313]

Genius plan

[@techdavey3486]

+Rustic Shine A bloke in London did a variation on this. He put a time-delay-relay in the feed to the fuel pump. Unless the relay was bypassed by the secret switch, the car would only go for about a hundred yards. The hope was that the thief would be left stranded and that the police would say "Is this your car Sir?" Ah those were the days! The real bummer of course is that in the UK car theft is usually just classed as TWOC (Taking without owners consent) Its just viewed as borrowing the car without being polite enough to ask! Watch out for thieves borrowing your registration number and getting a free tank of petrol. Yobs in Plymouth did this to a cop!

[@TheAkashicTraveller]

I can think of a method just off the top of my head to fix the fob capture method. When you press the button the fob sends a request. Car then sends back a time code.

[@kaytriott]

Okay lock for steering wheel, lock for diagnostic port, car alarm, yeeah no... those will not stop the thieves in my area. THey smash windows and bend back door frames. Even on camera they are not stopped. I have SEEN it happen sadly. That is probably why they keep doing it without any regard.

[@NoName-hc6ox]

Anyone here like real truth? Before anything was on the market to resend key code i know about it! So I go to few car dealers and let them know this unit will be in the market and I have patent to prevent stealing that keyless go cars. They laughed at me and say we don't care, more cars stolen more we can sell, we aren't insurance company. So you are not a customer for them just a fools whi will back and buy again if stolen car!!! Old cars you can't use coz pollution reasons so you are forced to buy full of electronics cars which are easier to steal and your cars will be never found. Good luck with NWO! Anyone booked place in heaven? Sure not, coz such place didn't exist but they are going to make your life he'll on earth!!!

Great show! Thank you for all of your investigations.

[@jeffmccrea9347]

I forgot one thing. My daughter had a 2001 Pontiac. Her purse was stolen with her keys in it. She sent the vehicle identification number to GM and they sent her a pre programmed key that started her car. They NEVER asked for a copy of the registration certificate or anything. She sent the VIN and her return address and they sent her a key. If a thief was patient for a few days, they could steal ANY car. Your reporter said something about thieves willing to do anything possible to cancel security devices. Just remember, ANY time you build a better rat trap, all you do is breed smarter rats. My father always said that locks are only to keep honest people out. A dishonest one will break a window, lock or anything else necessary to get in.

[@THETERPZ]

Everyone benefits from car theft. Car manufacturers, tow company, lock shops, and cars insurance companies. The person who looses their s the owner.

[@eddytorres3521]

When the officer denied to show her the device it's just like mommy saying yes but daddy saying no

[@alp9321]

I remenber back in the days when the only thing needed to steal a car was a piece of a spark plug a craftsman flathead screwdriver a a pair of gloves...Blazers, Buick Regals, cutlass supreme,Oldsmobiles, Monte Carlos,corvette, least to say Honda accord,civic, and the list goes on....

Best way to avoid this scenario, when leaving the car, lock it mechanically. Use the zapper to unlock when you return. By then it's a moot point.

[@dacarter70ify]

I was like she could've pick no other place lol

[@IARRCSim]

Yeah, pretty funny. Maybe her point was that the only thing a vehicle can be used for now is a projection screen. How can you drive it anywhere if you can't trust a lock to protect it? That's a funny idea but I've seen CBC do many silly things like that over the years. My serious guess is that some camera guy thought it would look original and interesting. Projecting on a vehicle is a quirky reference to "vehicles", the theme of the story. Unfortunately, the person with this idea probably doesn't get how funny it looks to most people.

[@FukaiKokoro]

Car manufactures need to make a safety code. Just like a password for your email things like computers in cars need to be HIGHLY protected. Why aren't they creating code to protect people's cars? By far your car is more important than someone hacking your email so there should be much more protection!

[@juans6639]

Car manufacturers DO USE A SAFETY CODE! Its when the high tech steals it the moment you push the FOB Button that transmit the code and the thieves steal it...DUH. ANYTHING DESIGNED BY MAN, CAN BE COMPROMISED/UNDONE BY MAN, JUST LIKE THEY CAN HACK YOUR PHONE, COMPUTER, ALARM SYSTEM ETC.

[@jiffywaxjesus1951]

I've seen people do it with pre programmed ECU's but they can only go after that model of car. They hook it up thru the engine, sometimes from outside the car, and turn off the security for the vehicle and hotwire or other ways. I'm a mechanic and I still dont know how tf they do it.
