Charlie28 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Guy a few doors down the road from me just traded in his F-Type Jag and got a 15 Plate Porsche Carrera 4s and it got stolen a a couple of nights ago! Dad was convinced he heard people opening the gates to our drive but they would of been very disappointed to find the starlet! Edited May 8, 2015 by Charlie28 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I feel for these guys My mates sister bought a brand new 3 series last year, she owned it for less than 48 hours before it got stolen thanks to the clever key less entry system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaxGT Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Scary scary stuff Paranoid since I've had my GT. Much more knickable than a micra :/ I really feel for these RS owners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 It is a shame indeed. Scumbags. Unfortunately if someone wants to steal something, they can.Whenever I parked mine anywhere vulnerable I always pulled a fuse, wiggled a plug out the ECU a tiny bit etc so it wouldn't start. Won't stop someone switched on but will buy time for sure.If you buy a new car just make sure you have GAP lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Car manufacturers need to step up their game. All these electrical goodies on the can bus network with unencrypted traffic, anyone can send a signal to unlock the doors by simple smashing out a rear cluster and tapping into the wire feed. New cars are too clever for their own good. Making them easier to steal in effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
