inferno1985 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 theres been a few breakins with people havin car alarms on their cars/ trucks. one peerson reported that he got out of his car to go into a store and locked his car with his fob, and as he walked away it unlocked, so he locked it again and within a few seconds it unlocked again. so he locked it again and walked away noticing it unlocked for a third time, he noticed there was a car sittin fairly close to him with 2 people in it, so he got out of there as quickly as possible. it been heard that people have some kind of device that will pick up the frequency and informaton that gets sent to your car from your key fob allowing them to unlock your car and ravage your belongings. so by actually clicking the lock button on your door is much safer than sending a wave through the air to your car , they cannot intercept the information sent from your door handle to your locks. so heads up hopefully this would make people feel safer knowing this can happen anhywhere. me personally i have an alarm and i always lock my doors friom the actual handle, and only from the key fob when i put in in the garage or at my house where i kn ow no one is at.

n8ball2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Depending on alRm most hop frquencies. Its not fool proof and can certainly be done with the right tool.

David Bailey Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 I just read an article about this, on Yahoo I believe. Crazy stuff. With all the wonders of technology, bad things come with it. Credit card scammers, computer hackers and now car alarms are in jeopardy. My alarm has been on the fritz for a while now, so I got in the habit of self locking a long time ago.. Good thing he noticed, but he could have pretended to walk into the store, got a manager/security, and watched as they tried to get in his car and caught them red handed.

Now its pin pad overlays and card reader overlays. You wouldn't even know an overlay was done they look exactly like the stock ones. It recordeds your kwy strokes and tskes the electronic data for your card.

I have no love for thieves. that is why i am really carefull on my information nowadays consider me to be paranoid but these days its better to be that then an easy target. last year there were burgalries on my mothers street out in the middle of no where out in farm land. basically people would act as salemen and knok on your door, if somsone came to the door they would have a fake pamphelet of things they were sellig and would eventually leave, but if no one came to the door or were home the6y would break in and grabbed whatever they copuld carry. happened to like 9 homes within a few miles of each other inn a span of a week or two.

79 cutty Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Even before this technology of stealing what is transmitted I would never feel safe with an alarm. I have had an alarm on every single vehicle I have owned, and still had 2 vehicles broken into and everything stolen out of them, 1 vehcile was so badly destroyed from them ripping everything out of it that the car was totaled out, and I have had another vehicle stolen all together. It sucks. It is a really messed up feeling getting in your car and knowing some uninvited jerk-off rumaged through your belongings and took things you worked so hard for. But here is the reality (as previouly stated) if someone wants it bad enough, they will find a way to get it. It is too bad some of these people don't put all that energy they put into commiting crimes into bettering society and getting a real job, but it is a fact of life. As technology advances, so will the way people break the law. I guess my only take away is just be aware of your surroundings and what you can do to at least make it harder for them. If I don't have to take one of my vehicles to a part of town I have had my stuff broken into at, I don't take it. Find alternate routes home, use other means of transportation when available, etc. Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking! You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

lightfoot Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 "Code Grabbers" have been in use for quite some time. Thats why most alarm manufactures use rolling codes which change everytime you press your transmitter button. However thieves will be thieves and just come up with some other way to gain entry into your vehicle. If some one wants something bad enough they are just gonna take it.
