Yes brother, new is not always better. I belive in analog and mechanical over digital for cars also, this is why I am a commited teanerbeaner.

Car manufacturers are going backwards!

Yeah I kinda came to the decision that I won't get any car after 75

Just because you have the technology to do something doesn't mean its a good idea!

I'll stick with my old-tech car. K.I.S.S.

And people ask me why I train and train in pistol shooting. Year around.

Cause Glock Inc. is my anti theft system.

Works for me..... It's just the cleanup that sucks....

Hi

You can't always beleave what you read. Decrypting and IMMO is hard work, and takes forever.

QUOTE

These codes are rolling 40-bit strings: With each use, the code changes slightly, creating about 1 trillion possible combinations in total.

I have been revercing automobile code for the last 8 years or so, and I couldn't pretend to have the education needed to do a Merc

The Euro cars are realy prone to be cracked...when the communist goverments...fell...left a lot of engineers unemployed and hungry, fighting for food. I am not or have ever been involved with stolen cars just that where the cracks (encryption) are found on the WWW, is also a gateway to some very effective low cost tech equipement.

If someone looses an Immo protected car in seconds, its big crime outfit, I will not use the word professional

They came ready and equipped.

Later

I did some research a while back on RFID technology and definitely saw some problems with the current stuff. Many manufactures don't care about it. They just want to get their foot in the door and get a good bit of market share. TOo bad they are so short sighted.
