Ken4555 1st Gear January 15, 2012 Share January 15, 2012 lately seem to hear more about car-break ins in JB... bro's car was broken into and wallet gone from the glove compartment... robber did not take passports and other stuff which were in the glove compartment... no sign of forced entry... just glove compartment was opened and messed up... this happened in no more tyhan 3-4mins... he's a pretty careful guy... i've eaten at Sentosa uncountable times over the years since i was riding... i've seen snatch thieves in action and i was almost a victim myself before... i have dozen frds who have their car been broken into before in MY... but i have never withness a car break-in without forced entry... so wanna find out abit more... later at the car wash, saw another car but window was smashed... so guy my bro was lucky already... now all the stories i've heard of imobilizers getting the code copied is probably really done very well... question is, to duplicate a regular car alarm (i can do it myself)... is just the turning of the ignition key a couple of times to reset it... but to copy the alarm code when an owner opens his door, how true is this ah?... any experts with knowledge to share?... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
