Had my rebel stolen Tuesday morning and this really put into prospective how easy it was, thank you. They did find the vehicle yesterday untouched so I'm thankful for that. Kill switches go in this weekend.

[@cascadia7244]

What is the kill switch. I need something to protect my trx.

[@Bluecordmobiletire]

@CASCADIA I installed a kill switch connected to my starter relay. Initially I wanted to install one for my fuel pump but opted out

[@Salvitrojan7]

Could you send a link to what kill switch you installed? How’s it working so far?

[@rickygambill723southsideki7]

Thank you Tk for showing the truth about how car’s and trucks can be taken without anyone else ever knowing what happened to their cars and trucks and the truth about how they are stealing them. Great job my friend. God bless

[@TheOutdoorLivng]

Thanks for sharing My Ram 1500 sport 2022 stolen just yesterday from driveway in Toronto 🇨🇦 That’s very unfortunate that ram is careless about it when they know the fact that dodge / ram are being stolen every other day . My romance with ram over just after 4 months 😊 I still love Ram

[@ekaz1]

These boxes work on just about any car with keyless entry/push button start. Keep your keys in a faraday pouch/box or even a metal coffee can or your microwave. Sucks that its so easy but there are cheap ways to protect your investment

[@Crooked_smil3]

i've purchased faraday pouches for both my '18 Accord and '19 Escape and they worked for about a week or two and then stopped containing the signal inside the pouch.

[@Kayskinooo]

Where do they get them?

[@zr1888]

Not on General Motors OnStar going to locate them quick

[@mrquickspool]

The thieves know how to disable any tracking ability. jeep grand Cherokee’s are the easiest to disable.

[@tokuzumi1]

Push button start was a terrible feature to make standard on vehicles. There was nothing wrong with a key in an ignition cylinder

[@camronbay1]

Exactly a push to start ignition is not very secure a keyed ignition is far more secure.

[@Eat_Me007]

Because they are secretly making digital theft more easy..

[@yeahyeah9193]

I hate that crap too. There was nothing wrong with it. They just made it more complex hence easier to break and easier to steal

[@djrelic247]

In your center controls you can turn off the proximity stuff when you touch the handle it unlocks. I turned mine off when I first got my ram 1500 in 2013. I turned it off cause it keeps trying to find the fob and drains battery. If someone tries to open the door or breaks in it will see a 'door open without unlock' puts it in a disabled mode where you cant even remote start it.

[@boomstickkid]

its crazy how well keys have worked over the years. now everything has to be fancy push to start. 🤣

[@drewbenefield2001]

Great content Tk! Have a great day!

[@Apogge_kings]

There are a lot of thefts in the Houston area. I was wondering how there were doing it without a key. This is very enlightening. I wonder if this works on Police cars????????

[@TKsGarage]

The same 😂🤣😂🤣

[@robm3063]

I don't think this involved a Chrysler product but a few years ago my neighbor went to FLA on vacation. They parked the rental and locked it via the remote control. When they got back the remote acted funny and was having a hard time controlling the car locks. They finally got in the car and things did not seem right, things were moved. When they got back to hotel, they found stuff missing from the trunk in a backpack that was in there before the remote acted funny. Someone had a clone machine for the door locks and watched them as they parked.

Crazy dodge needs attention on this

[@D70340]

Ignorance is bliss. I install a hidden switch to the fuel pump. No power to the fuel pump, no way to drive away with your vehicle, unless they steal it with a tow truck.

[@chriswright711]

So quick question if Dodge knows that the vehicle can drive without the fob in the vehicle and passing that signal y not update the software and fix this issue?

[@dennisgliebe184]

Using a signal blocking box technology to put your key fobs in will prevent this issue

[@RoyAhoorUS]

I disabled passive entry on my truck to prevent allowing the door to open without clicking the door open button. This prevents getting in the car in the first place and is a well known BLE issue on all cars that needs to be fixed by all manufacturers including Tesla. The passive entry disable is an option selection on the my RAM 2022 truck.

[@DellCvz]

That's a good idea. My 23 RAM was opened without any scratch on the Walmart parking lot and they emptied my shopping bags and some personal belongings. But nothing seemed to be violated. I guess someone in other car repeated the signal of my key when I got out of the truck

[@rainsong7327]

This is freaking crazy. I own a Rebel and now Im expecting to walk out of my house and not see my truck every morning.

[@da8981]

Look into IGLA. I have one on my TRX. 1k installed. Best peace of mind money can buy. Truck cannot be stolen by being driven with an IGLA. The only way it gets stolen is If they brake the window, pop it in neutral and load it onto a flat bed.

[@TKsGarage]

And you can stop that too. Check out destroyer1320.com

[@johnraygun9868]

I have a 2019 Power Wagon fully loaded, I was loading my daughter into her car seat and my keys fell under the truck, I thought they were still i my pocket and the family and I went into town about 20 miles, turned it off and got out to shop for a couch. I went to lock the truck and realized i didn't have my keys lol luckily my sister who is a police officer was around and i had her stop by my house and she found my keys still in the driveway. I had thought for sure the truck wouldn't have been that vulnerable but I was wrong. Good info to put out Sir, ty

[@ALadyandherStang]

My bf bought a BRAND NEW Ram 2500 diesel 4x4 with allot of extra goodies, would it be just as easy to steal as the gas model of trucks? what would you suggest can be used on it for an extra layer of security??

[@southernshooter]

I keep my keys in a faraday case. My garage is locked with a screwdriver in the door track anyway. Could happen when I stop at a restaurant etc I guess. My Toyota is the same way. Keyless entry, keyless start.

[@Abfromtheeast]

WERE WAS THIS VIDEO WHEN I NEEDED IT 🤦‍♂️!?!? My 2021 Ram Laramie HEMI ETORQUE was literally jacked in minutes from my gated community this Tuesday! I couldn’t believe how easy it was for them I literally seen them drive away . They had neither of my keys to access the truck I was in such disbelief when it was driving away ! They had the tracker disabled in minutes as well ! I called the police instantly but nothing was able to get recovered ! This was a scary experience and I just can’t believe how ram security defense is so TRASH ! Today is day number 3 and still no thief caught no sign of truck and the last location I got from my truck off U-Connect was that It was in the Gulf of Mexico ocean 🤦‍♂️ . 2022 starting off very scary in Houston !

[@randallkendall8082]

Probably in a container on a ship heading overseas. Taliban has a machine gun mounted in the bed, probably now.

[@texasfan8892]

As scary as this sounds, keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of Ram trucks that are stolen are done so because the owners leave them unlocked with the keys inside. Practically inviting thieves to come steal the truck. Aside from obviously locking your vehicle and keeping the keys with you, you can simply keep your keys in a blocking pouch for less than $10, which prevents a wireless signal from being sent out that thieves can use to clone your keys. Problem solved.

[@phillipgohorns]

That’s BS. My 2021 TRX was stolen from my work parking garage in about 20 seconds. They broke the rear window and once in the cabin they used their device to start the ignition and drove off. Security caught the entire theft on CCTV. These Dodge vehicles are defective and Dodge should be sued in a consumer class action. I lost $40K because I paid over sticker at $130K and was only reimbursed $90k by my insurance company.

[@phillipgohorns]

They didn’t use a repeater - my keys were miles away at the time of the theft and I actually did use an insulation box at my apartment

[@josephcasanova5990]

Also a theif will teach another theif for his or her own benefit meaning they been showing each other your just making people aware of how easy it really is good content

[@1scurtis]

Dodges have always been notoriously easy to steal. When my 01 2500 was stolen many years ago, my friend (who owns a body shop) quipped that if he wanted to, he could steal any dodge with a butter knife.

[@makaveli087]

You're *gonna close the Garage Door!*

[@jamesmerritt5489]

What about the dodge rams that has the robe that is like a key, and have to be turned to start. I have 2017 ram big horn

[@motive7475]

Got a faraday pouch for mine. You should do videos reviewing different pouches

[@CaliConnelly314]

Got one for my TRX! The Faraday Ticonn is one of the best. Actually does completely block the signal. Also make sure If you are driving and you park somewhere. Be alert on anyone possibly following you. But MOST IMPORTANT TIP about faraday pouch! Put the key in the faraday pouch before you EXIT vehicle. Lock door from inside handle by hand. If thieves are following and they get that signal before you put in faraday pouch they now can enter regardless if you have the blocker or not. Just FYI my friend.

[@GHOST-im3xh]

[@edlyli7166]

This is why you also need a key like 2014-2021 Tundra

[@jordan0brown]

I think others said this but this is just about any modern key fob car including the driving w/o the fob.

[@charlessanders1342]

Knew that as the ram is on the Hot list now as they have shown several videos where people's ram trucks getting driven off out of there driveways. Install a hidden kill switch shutting off the starter/fuel injection put in a apple air tag in your vehicle. If u unlock it and don't open door it will relock in so many seconds my 11 yr old car does that and it pisses me off.

[@FastCashFrank]

What is the actual name of the box I am trying to use this on my KZbin channel

[@-byko-8423]

Buy what's called a Faraday cage. They're a few dollars. Put your fob inside this pouch, and it blocks the signal from being intercepted

[@Z5Tkl87]

Don't get why people just don't get a hardened steel foot pedal brake lock. The good expensive ones are damn near un cutable by anything but a diamond saw and prevents the brake pedal from being depressed. Just lock in on when u park and it makes it very hard to steal.

[@kevinmckinley363]

Not wanting to buy one but how much do they cost? The repeater box that is

[@robertkiell]

get a tracker installed on it that send u alert on the phone and u can press disable to kill battery in your truck

[@lukek6492]

So is this for the limited and others with the prox key ???? What about regular keys

[@JeanMichelAU]

Great Video TK !!

[@iceytys1]

Does this work if you turn off the Passive Disarm Feature in the vehicle (keyless entry option). Isnt the push to unlock signal different from the RFID static signal from the keyfob??? I would assume if a thief uses a repeater and the door doesnt unlock, they will maybe think its not the right code. thoughts

They have key cases that block the signal. That's probably the cheapest solution but it's ridiculous how so many vehicles are getting stolen

[@roycesouther8294]

Amazon has cheap boxes or pouches to keep your fobs in.

[@bobkonradi1027]

Without getting into "how" a repeater box works, which I've read how, the thing to do is take your Ram truck's key fob and put it as far away from the truck in your house as you possibly can. Same for any Dodge or Chrysler car. Most people leave their key fob right by the door. That's what I did. Now I put it at the other end of the house. If you can find a lead-formed or lead-lined box to put it in, in addition to putting it at the other end of the house, buy it and store your fob inside of it. Yes, I know its a pain in the butt, but it will save your vehicle from being stolen.
