Guest posiedon Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I rarely lock my car (only doing so; when the dog is in the back) Why would you think you need clamps, chains, or whatever? The mind boggles. Punctuation and capitalization^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohanofNess Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Unlocking it is one thing, getting it started is another. Most new cars come fitted with an immobiliser and they need a coded key to disarm them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I get the feeling it is more about the theft from, not of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGHR Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I rarely lock my car (only doing so; when the dog is in the back) Why would you think you need clamps, chains, or whatever? The mind boggles. Punctuation and capitalization^^ Sometimes I insert a semicolon at random places in the; middle of sentences Whenever I do that, I often don't put a full stop at the end of the sentence either.

The mind boggles. Punctuation and capitalization^^ Because that is what they keep in their car. I remember this problem from a few years ago, it sorta died down a bit but I will try it with my M.E.W.P. as it has these devices fitted, and chains and clamps.

EM Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 i have just read an article on using a mobile phone to open and lock your car or any car come to that i tried it out on our car (after removing the key from the ignition ) and it works...So you are claiming to have successfully carried out something which is generally considered to be impossible? That is indeed interesting. Could you please elaborate further on just what you actually did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 That would be wrong, you should not be encouraging folk to divulge such info really. especially as they have just said that their car can be got into after reading such an article.Why would you want to know how to break into someones vehicle?

beachcaster Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 It has been proven impossible to transmit a key fob signal through a mobile phone, as mobile phones cannot generate the frequency required. I suspect that the OP has had their leg pulled, probably by someone with the spare key operating the remote central locking while the OP was busy trying to open the car with a phone. Its an old trick. SP, knowing how to break into someones car is not a bad thing. It is only wrong if it is used in the wrong circumstances. I break into cars all the time, and would be interested to learn another method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudden Stop Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 What's the point of locking your car? You'd only have to unlock it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Much to Watson's alarm and disgust, I know many ways of breaking into vehicles; both with and without central locking. Insofar as I am aware, Master M and Master Caster are both quite correct in their assertion that this alleged method is, in fact, an urban myth, and quite impossible. There do exist those with the arcane electrical knowledge or means required to "catch" your vehicles remote key code, if they are close enough to you, much as these "all in one" remote controls "catch and learn" from your television remote control. However, I do not believe Master Jobs and his merry malum munching crew have included an "app" capable of such a feat in their ubiquitous virtual store... yet! Then there is the small problem of the equipment required to generate such a signal. Once again, it is not yet included in any mobile phone handset. Until they do provide such a "service", I would rest easy, my friends - at least, insofar as this particular method of felonious appropriation of other people's property is concerned! Your humble servant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
