Warning!!! Warning!!! Warninig!!!

[Toyfan]

Hi all, I have heard of a trend regarding break-ins and theft of vehicles with remote alarms. These thieves use the standard remotes used for your remote gate or garage doors to prevent your alarm from activating.
This is how it works: When the unsuspecting driver parks his car, walks away and activate his alarm but does not take note whether it activated or not. The thief then sits close by and holds down his own remote's activating button at the same time when the driver try to activate his alarm. Guys I have tried this and it works, so please be careful. I guess the one's frequency cancels the other. Rather make sure you hear that TWEET TWEET.

Tx William, yes have tested this and it actually worked on one of our vehicles

Tx for the reminder warning

They cleaned out one of my friends cars like that, laptop everything! Watch out this works!

[Smurf]

know that some gate remotes cancel all the autowatch aftermarket alarm systems. :?

I initially thought this was a hoax, until one of my colleagues had his laptop and other valuables stolen out of his car, a BMW 1 Series (Some have no taste) at the McDonalds in Fourways.
I always listen for the locks clicking shut

The blue ET remote (the big square one) blocks my Toyota remote ! But it does not block the cheap remote on my platkar ...


activate the "bleep" on your central locking - then you KNOW when it locks.

This is very good to know!!! I havent tested it, but it surely makes sence. Thankfully I do most of my driving with the platkar which is Auto, and have double deadlocking on the door locks and is a foreign vehicle which is not favoured in our wealth redistribution society...

Tried a few different remotes on my wifes polo and the car locked everytime.

[Royco]

I have found that these locks are resistant to the remotes, and work well!

:wth: Jip we tested it in the car park at work and SURPRISE!!! it work on most of the cars. :wth:
I just sometimes wonder about the criminal mind, they are so FOCUSED on how to @#$%^& you, and it's scary for the non criminal mind to accept this crap because we FOCUS on different things

SAD, VERY SAD

Jeez I just tested it on the Hilux and swambo's car and in both cases the signal was jammed

Hi
I tried to activate the beeb function but can not get it to work.
Does the 2007 Hilux work that way?

I also battled but eventually went to Toyota, takes them all of a few seconds.
But they recommended I dont use it, cos its loud, really loud, so I opted to leave it off

I'm the paranoid type. Will get out 3 times of the car to check the Alarm light is on at home. Or worse drive to office and drive back..... Same with the car and will walk halfway into a shopping centre to turn back and check.

Wait, not paranoid, but rather obsessive compulsive!!!
