Well sir thxs for putting this out now it's give me idea 💡 to come up with how to block them from doing this with a block out invention of destroyer 1320 come up with it first 🥇 lol
You would think Dodge would release an update or something to fix this obvious exploit. Me and my wife are looking at buying her a Challenger, and me a Jail Break Charger, but with these exploits I’m not so sure. We live in a small community, but we like to travel. Man I wish they would fix this stuff. Thanks for keeping people informed, great content.
There are both obd2 port locks and usb port locks available. These are made by a variety of different manufacturers, thusly many different types of release mechanisms (keys). The theives would have to carry hundreds of unlocking devices to defeat these locks. Along with kill switches and tracking devices, it might help slow down a theif somewhat.
Accountability? Hahahahaha that word doesn't exist in this country anymore under the Biden administration it's goddammit free for all, the medical field is a license to steel and trash people's quality of life, the justice system. ..... we won't even go there! Takes long to become a barber then a cop, we don't even have a education system from what I see.... and you get on here talking about dodge needs to accountable for a car the gets taken after u buy it 😂 are you brain dead
They should but they won’t because that’s capitalism for you . The problems come with what they create gets pointed and blamed on the individual. For example if you have gotten your car stolen they would likely blame you more than dodge the same you blame poor people stealing for food instead of questioning why they have to be stealing in the first place
i program keys for fun on the side, its easy to steal any car , IF somone can get into it , just make sure doors are locked and should be fine.... camera system... or a garage is a must with a hellcat..... theres always a way to steal a car either way doesnt matter about this gadget i have 3 different scanners ... if theyre smart enough they can steal it
How much you see people using the Flipper? I see the ads on FB all the time and as a network engineer my mind races at the availability for that device to be used for bad intent.
I no longer take my Challenger anywhere where if I have to go inside a building and not physically be in it or can’t see it when I’m in a building. I just take it on joyrides now and use my daily instead.
Simple and Easy fix. If you don't want your car stolen, Remove the center console section. Its held together with 8mm bolts and #2 philips screws. Some trim removal tools will also come in handy. Disconnect the USB cables. Reroute the cables to a place you only know and make sure to make it difficult for crooks to find. Put everything back together. Also Do the Same with the dash OBD port. It's located under the steering wheel area and relocate it with a tazer relocation kit. No need to waste time and money on stuff thats not going to stop a crook from stealing your car when all you have to do is relocate the connectors they need to program a key. Furthermore, You only need the center console usb plugs if you used apple carplay or the android version. leave the cable disconnected if you don't use either. Otherwise relocate the cable.
USBKill V4 to the USB ports - you know not to use them... but if someone plugs their little wireless dongle into the port, POP. They can't steal anyone else's car either, the world is a better place...
My friend just got his truck stolen at 3am. He gets a txt from the truck saying it’s stolen (lol) then after he reports it to the police, the police shut his tracking ability off so he doesn’t go looking for it…. He said they jacked it in under 2 minutes
Something that's definitely good to know about since no one has ever heard of or seen this device, this device can pose a big threat to all kinds of automobiles.
Just saw a news clip about some dude getting his Hellcat stolen in KC. Was curious why they kept getting stolen and found your video, thx for info. Dodge should partially take some of the responsibility for the security of the vehicles they sell.
Get the RF lockout! No keys can be programmed, period ...unless they bring a new/used PCM and swap it out ...that takes much more time and doesn't always work. Layer it up with a hidden kill switch, pedal or wheel lock, and a neutral strap steel box cover. Hide a couple airtags (and remove the speakers) for a nice cherry on top. Thieves want easy. Make them move on to the next target.
@@SuckerFreeWrld none of it is inconvenient for me, but super inconvenient for thugs. When you drop that kind of cash on a muscle car, you’re wise to layer your security. Unless you enjoy being a statistic. The best surprises are the ones I didn’t mention!
If someone wants your car, with or without the OBD2 and USB locking devices, they'll get it or make your life hell with repairs for the next few months. I have 3 hidden kill switches on my SRT 392 Durango and they need to be all turned on or it blows the starter fuse when you try to start the car. I came out of work one day to someone looking into my car but they ran off. A week later they came back only minutes after I went inside the office and attempted to steal it. Our cameras show he was in my car for over 30 minutes and left empty handed. I found out when I came out to my Durango with the back small corner window punched out and all my doors unlocked, to see all my seats, headliner, touchscreen, steering wheel, wiring, and dash carved up with a razorblade and the interior smelling like someone pissed all over. They found 1 of the kill switches but not the other 2. When the cops arrived they said that's extremely common when thieves can't get away with the car that they will destroy it instead. My car spent 9 months in the shop getting fixed (whole different story ...) before the insurance company (State Farm) finally decided to consider it totaled. It would have been easier to let them steal it.
I have a 2015 Scat Pack Charger that is fairly customized and I often think about your exact scenario. I am sorry you have had to endure all that. I love my car, but I have good insurance and a low $500 deductible for a reason. If it gets stolen, I just want to get paid out by insurance and never see it again. I have gone back and forth about going through the effort of applying all these security controls or just let whatever happens, happen. I think I have settled on just hoping I never see the car again if it gets stolen. I have had it for almost 9 years and would be OK with moving on to something different, anyway. I am 55 years old and I have owned this car longer than any other.
@jmcates1120 Yeah, I feel the same. I want to get a scat, but im hesitant. Had the v6 charger awd and wanted to level up but afraid of theft. I have a garage but afraid one day I'll run an errand and someone will try to steal it or won't be able to so they'll bust all the windows or do something crazy. You might as well just not even try to make it difficult for them because they'll panic and destroy your car anyway in the process, then you're stuck with it messed up. So yeah, I'm going back and forth on a daytona scat or mustang dark horse. Haven't seen any thefts with the new Mustangs lbs
Or just use an independant transmission lock. Hyundais are even easier to steal. Any auto lock-picking tool under $50 can steal them, and good lockpickers can lockpick and start it in a minute or less. Hyundais are the most stolen car here in Italy as they lack immobilizers. I had a transmission lock that prevents the gear lever from shifting out of "P" and required a secondary key to unlock. It's not perfect but does make a car harder to steal with more steps and most thieves will skip to the next car.
A Viper System may be the answer...I know it is not cheap...but man it seems to work...Even Chrysler could not break into my car...and they did try for a few hours at the Dream Cruise last year...when they were dong free upgrades to the Security systems ...so people if you are going to get your once in a lifetime car...protect it with the best stuff out there. And a club of sorts on top ... just makes it that much less inviting...even if you touch my car it goes off...PAIN IN THE BUTT sometimes!
Nope viper is only the answer if you use it for GPS tracking. My 2015 scat pack had a viper with the signal hooked up to my key fob. Thieves were able to bypass and unlock viper systems that had a kill switch & remote alarms… and drove away with my car.
Am I the only Scat Pack owner that had the dealership lock the RF hub? The good thing is, the car won't be stolen. The bad thing is, if you lose ALL your fobs, you're done. I just had my second Scat RF hub locked last week. I had them make me three fobs, and then lock it. Once locked it cannot ever be unlocked. I'm 43 and never lost a fob in my life. It's worth doing. Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Harrisburg, PA did mine. If curious ask for Gabriel.
Once u lock it and don’t leave anything of value in it u can actually leave it unlocked and let them find out for themselves that they can’t steal it and u won’t have any physical damage to worry abt that’s what I do and it’s been successful
What about if the car has had the RF lockdown procedure done by Dodge? That is supposed to make it so no more keys can ever be made and also the keys programmed cannot be deleted
@@Ryan-ds2wx any details on this because I have a mobile ADAS calibration business and I use WITECH-2 all the time for adas calibrations for FCA cars, so I’m in their software all the time and haven’t ran across doing that key lock out and I own a hellcat so I’m going to do it now that I seen your comment
@@alfspacealiencateater4786 I actually got a letter in the mail from Dodge saying my car could have that security feature done. From what I gather, Dodge did not offer this to every single Dodge owner out there, I think it's only certain models and years. Mine is a 2019 Scat Pack. I would call whoever your local dealership is and ask. I might have a copy of my letter, if I can find it, I can give you some more details on the exact wording they used.
Main reason I sold my TRX. An IGLA is good, but they’ll also get mad when they can’t steal it and pretty much vandalize your car. So not even worth owning these cars. Amazing as they are its just not worth it until the fad of stealing them dies off.
@soygoku3911 nothing atm the car I got after was totaled in a hit and run. Now I'm searching again 😆. No one has cars where I live so I'll have to order again like the TRX.
It's so bad it's pitiful. A guy came 2.5 hrs away to test drive one off the lot. He and the salesman stopped at the store and he made him get out at gunpoint. They staked the tires 1.5 hours away and crashed him. He's now incarcerated.
It is easy to stop them. If you don't know my disarm code the car will lock down. Brakes locked at and module gas pedal disabled horn blowing even if you copy the key fob. If you find the system and unplug it still stays locked. It can be hidden in lots of places.
Hello TK. Wow a new way to steal a Charger Challenger Hellcat and TrackHawck. Great looking out TK. And I know that you're going to talk with all of the police that you've worked with before.
I didn't know there was such a vulnerability with Dodge/Chrysler. I've been looking to get a challenger RT 6spd but after this video I don't think I should. Beside the ease of it getting stolen, seems like it will be targeted simply because it's out there that it's easy to steal. I imagine the insurance rates for these cars must be even higher than comparable cars if that's the case.
will this work on Maserati or Alfa Romeo or Fiat? I don't understand, is this new key now registered into the car system? I know FCJDAM 2018+ have SGM security gateway module that blocks you from even erasing any diagnostic codes. How is this by passing the gateway, if thats what it is doing? Ive seen on the new all kinds of lies how you can program a key, but its a strict lie. After this tool starts a car, is the key count +1? Can you just start the car afterwords with same key no usb tool if you shut the car off? Now repeater i understand, because nothing to bypass
@mikeprice8307 yeah I got one thinking would give me peice of mind and it does alil but seeing this makes a killswitch mandatory welp looks like it's time shits crazy af
Does the Z Automotive Tazer PIN Code protect against this? Even if a thief cuts or disconnects the Tazer from the vehicle, the Tazer has programmed the vehicle Gas Pedal to be disabled (I'm not sure if it's also locked the ABS brakes on all 4 wheels too). Could a thief using this "new method" in this video using the USB dongle, Uconnect, and hacking app hidden in the Solitaire game, be able to override and re-enable the Gas Pedal (and release the ABS brakes?) which were programmed into the vehicle by the Tazer? Even if the Solitaire hacking app isn't programmed currently to release the gas pedal (and release the ABS brakes?), could it theoretically be programmed to do that?
Keyless cars are just making everything worse for owners. Key with immobilizers on the key itself and insert it to the key cylinder is actually the best security system out there. Before anyone says well hyundai and kia, they don’t have immobilizers in their keys that’s with anything and I mean anything can start them up. Having a physical key with an immobilizers that is programmed to that pacific car was the best thing they made, but people were tried of having to put a key in for some reason.
“Don’t be lame.” Love your comment rules bro 😂 Anyways my dad’s brand new Durango got stolen right out of the hotel parking lot just a few days ago. Shame on dodge… didn’t think we would have to be putting our own GPS and killswitch in it.

@@yanezpb7109 no, didn't really know much existed and that they were easily stolen. I am at the point I want something built prior to 1972. I have the skill set to build what ever.
Just curious, I've heard a lot about the 2019 and newer security updates/patches - I'm assuming this works on everything up to 2023(?). Can you confirm my assumptions or are the newer cars protected from this trick?
@@TKsGarageno it doesn’t I have the latest update and they have been tryna steal my car for the last 6 months if it weekend they wuld have bypassed it by now
From what OP said it just tricks the system so the car starts right up. It’s not making a new key on the spot like the other way. Plus he said it works with all current dodge updates installed as well. Just some scary ish really
A way you can make it hard is by installing a switch to kill the usb port as well I personally would make it so it a raspberry pie hidden in the car that looks for a text or a phone to turn on the usb parts
You could interrupt the V+ power to the USB ports with a mosfet or mechanical relay driven by the ACC voltage. USB ports would only be active when accessories are on, and you wouldn’t have to remember to use a hidden switch.
by a steel club, cut your wheel all the way to the left or right, and you'll beat most car thieves. I don't care what no one says aint nobody walking around with power tools trying to steal rides😂
Mine got stolen 2 weeks ago.... Chrysler dealership said system is irrepairable... workhard for my charger 2013 now.. Its salvage car. hopefully my insurance give me good deal 2013 RT with 40k mileage... those thieves whew! Karma is real!
That's why a had dodge lock my module for free. No key can be made. If I lose my FOBs, I'll have to pay to replace the module under/behind the dash, but at least criminals can't code a key to it.
Late to this video but this is exactly why anyone with a Challenger/Charger or just any Mopar really needs to invest in a Z automotive Tazer, it locks your car down from shit like this and makes writing keys impossible, especially if you hardwire the tazer into a new OBD2 port that you can hide deep in the under padding of the car. Tons of other security settings you can utilize to like having the gas pedal completely disabled until you enter a pin when the vehicle starts and failure to do so raises the alarm, or having all 4 breaks locked until pin is entered etc. Z automotive Tazer, not a sponsor but that thing is truly the device to have for security.
U connect is part of the security gateway... Typically programmers require subscription service or special cables to do a key, and other protocols. Too bad that thieves have technology to circumvent technology....😢
I didn’t even think of it till just now, but I’m pretty sure I programmed the spare key for my truck while the actual key for it was sitting on our counter, now I got a different reader, and I got a different app, that I got it Originally used to program the back up camera for the truck whenever I added it and programmed the heated steering wheel and heated seats whenever I added them as well, now that I think about it I’m pretty sure I just put the vehicle in accessory, which you can do by just poking the button
I’d relocate the ECU to somewhere that’s easy to unplug when you leave your car, like the aftermarket radios from the 1980s. Thief would have to have the exact right ECU with him, even before programming to the vehicle.
they tried to get mine 2 months ago. had a kill switch & air tags in it. they put in in neutral & pushed it a mile away to work on it in seclusion. they couldn't make a new key or start it so they got angry & broke all my windows, pulled all my fuses & scratched it up. I located it 6hrs later using the dodge app. the recall I did to marry my key/ starter system to the car was a priceless upgrade. no new keys can be made. even from dodge.
@@TKsGarageno it doesn’t cus if it did they wuld have gotten mine by now yea they can push it but u have to get the neutral cover lock so they can’t pull the neutral release those two things and a engine kill switch is all u need and the engine kill switch is extra really only need the first two

@@Ryan-ds2wx any details on this because I have a mobile ADAS calibration business and I use WITECH-2 all the time for adas calibrations for FCA cars, so I’m in their software all the time and haven’t ran across doing that key lock out and I own a hellcat so I’m going to do it now that I seen your comment
@@alfspacealiencateater4786 I actually got a letter in the mail from Dodge saying my car could have that security feature done. From what I gather, Dodge did not offer this to every single Dodge owner out there, I think it's only certain models and years. Mine is a 2019 Scat Pack. I would call whoever your local dealership is and ask. I might have a copy of my letter, if I can find it, I can give you some more details on the exact wording they used.
@@Ryan-ds2wx thanks I’ll call my local dealership and ask
Have you checked into Pandora car security systems ?

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP AND INFORMATION YOU GIVE!!!!!
Main reason I sold my TRX. An IGLA is good, but they’ll also get mad when they can’t steal it and pretty much vandalize your car. So not even worth owning these cars. Amazing as they are its just not worth it until the fad of stealing them dies off.
What do you own now?
@soygoku3911 nothing atm the car I got after was totaled in a hit and run. Now I'm searching again 😆. No one has cars where I live so I'll have to order again like the TRX.
It's so bad it's pitiful. A guy came 2.5 hrs away to test drive one off the lot. He and the salesman stopped at the store and he made him get out at gunpoint. They staked the tires 1.5 hours away and crashed him. He's now incarcerated.
I have a igla did it work for you
If you own one of these vehicles you are going to have to start removing your steering wheel and battery after parking lol

It is easy to stop them. If you don't know my disarm code the car will lock down. Brakes locked at and module gas pedal disabled horn blowing even if you copy the key fob. If you find the system and unplug it still stays locked. It can be hidden in lots of places.
Disarm code for what? 3rd party alarm system?

Hello TK. Wow a new way to steal a Charger Challenger Hellcat and TrackHawck. Great looking out TK. And I know that you're going to talk with all of the police that you've worked with before.
What next, bolt the car to the ground?
They will pull it off the concrete 😂😂😂
Yes
Lol now all you need is to find bolt pattern and impact drill lmao
I could really use that app im always buying cars from auction and im over here spending money on locksmiths 😐
Keep the locksmiths in business. They work an honest business.
I didn't know there was such a vulnerability with Dodge/Chrysler. I've been looking to get a challenger RT 6spd but after this video I don't think I should. Beside the ease of it getting stolen, seems like it will be targeted simply because it's out there that it's easy to steal. I imagine the insurance rates for these cars must be even higher than comparable cars if that's the case.
Yep
Exactly why I completely removed my odb2 port. Cut the wires off flush with the firewall.
will this work on Maserati or Alfa Romeo or Fiat? I don't understand, is this new key now registered into the car system? I know FCJDAM 2018+ have SGM security gateway module that blocks you from even erasing any diagnostic codes. How is this by passing the gateway, if thats what it is doing? Ive seen on the new all kinds of lies how you can program a key, but its a strict lie.
After this tool starts a car, is the key count +1? Can you just start the car afterwords with same key no usb tool if you shut the car off? Now repeater i understand, because nothing to bypass

How would getting the neutral strap cover help with this?
This particular instance none, because they can crank the car and drive off.
@mikeprice8307 yeah I got one thinking would give me peice of mind and it does alil but seeing this makes a killswitch mandatory welp looks like it's time shits crazy af
No u need to lock ur module it’s sumthn. New dodge came out with and the neutral release cover helps so they can’t move it in neutral once it’s locked
Does the Z Automotive Tazer PIN Code protect against this?
Even if a thief cuts or disconnects the Tazer from the vehicle, the Tazer has programmed the vehicle Gas Pedal to be disabled (I'm not sure if it's also locked the ABS brakes on all 4 wheels too). Could a thief using this "new method" in this video using the USB dongle, Uconnect, and hacking app hidden in the Solitaire game, be able to override and re-enable the Gas Pedal (and release the ABS brakes?) which were programmed into the vehicle by the Tazer?
Even if the Solitaire hacking app isn't programmed currently to release the gas pedal (and release the ABS brakes?), could it theoretically be programmed to do that?
Keyless cars are just making everything worse for owners. Key with immobilizers on the key itself and insert it to the key cylinder is actually the best security system out there. Before anyone says well hyundai and kia, they don’t have immobilizers in their keys that’s with anything and I mean anything can start them up. Having a physical key with an immobilizers that is programmed to that pacific car was the best thing they made, but people were tried of having to put a key in for some reason.
Specific....not pacific. Thank me later.
“Don’t be lame.” Love your comment rules bro 😂
Anyways my dad’s brand new Durango got stolen right out of the hotel parking lot just a few days ago. Shame on dodge… didn’t think we would have to be putting our own GPS and killswitch in it.
Can you lock 🔐 out the RFH module . Only accepts 2 program keys …
Hopefully my GT is safe, even though it may be confused for a Scat Pack at first glance.
Nobody wants that
@@cmurda5627 lies, others have had them stolen.
Trust me nobody wants that they’ve only been took by mistake they love hellcats 392s 345s
Do you know if the z automotive tazer works against this ? Aka their pin activated pedal disabler ?
No idea I would have to try it out. If the company hits me up I’ll test it out
@@TKsGarage lol I hit them up and they asked me to tag them on the video but I don’t know how to 😂
There is an update available from dodge that locks the keys to the RFH for SRT vehicles. Unable to then program a new key.
How much and where
At dodge and where I am it cost 650 total because I had a third key made one I do it nobody not even dodge will b able to make a new key so it’s smart to have extra
I wish they still made a regular key for your car.
What about the usb ports on the rear center console can they use that too ?
I’ll have to try it
My Scat Pack just got stolen. I wished I would have paid more attention to these videos.
Like not buying one
Did u get your car back?
@@Mopar_illmatic it got recovered, but it was totaled
@@donaldgreen9292 did you have any switches
@@yanezpb7109 no, didn't really know much existed and that they were easily stolen. I am at the point I want something built prior to 1972. I have the skill set to build what ever.
Just curious, I've heard a lot about the 2019 and newer security updates/patches - I'm assuming this works on everything up to 2023(?). Can you confirm my assumptions or are the newer cars protected from this trick?
This works on the latest update……
@@TKsGarageno it doesn’t I have the latest update and they have been tryna steal my car for the last 6 months if it weekend they wuld have bypassed it by now
How about just popping out a few relays , Starter and a couple more ?
So, it's making a spare key. This can be prevented with the fix from Dodge that locks the system from making new keys.
From what OP said it just tricks the system so the car starts right up. It’s not making a new key on the spot like the other way. Plus he said it works with all current dodge updates installed as well. Just some scary ish really
Where can I buy it?
Keep your car in a garage when not in use & don't let it out of your sight when it is
A way you can make it hard is by installing a switch to kill the usb port as well I personally would make it so it a raspberry pie hidden in the car that looks for a text or a phone to turn on the usb parts
How ? Tutorial ?
@@e63Amgg tutorial would be nice , could learn alot
You could interrupt the V+ power to the USB ports with a mosfet or mechanical relay driven by the ACC voltage. USB ports would only be active when accessories are on, and you wouldn’t have to remember to use a hidden switch.
by a steel club, cut your wheel all the way to the left or right, and you'll beat most car thieves. I don't care what no one says aint nobody walking around with power tools trying to steal rides😂
What is that thing called
Mine got stolen 2 weeks ago.... Chrysler dealership said system is irrepairable... workhard for my charger 2013 now.. Its salvage car. hopefully my insurance give me good deal 2013 RT with 40k mileage... those thieves whew! Karma is real!
You kno what I’m bout to selling my wide body hellcat charger and challenger and by a Toyota this shh getting outta hand
Hidden GPS and a kill switch will do it.Also you can take a fuse or relay out of the fuse box at night while its parked.
The best and least cost deterrent is don't buy a Dodge, LOL.
Amazing, you're right, it sucks...
They always seem to be 1 step ahead!!!!!
That's why a had dodge lock my module for free. No key can be made. If I lose my FOBs, I'll have to pay to replace the module under/behind the dash, but at least criminals can't code a key to it.
Not anymore. Just did a video on this at Sema they have new programmers that get past that
The first thing I do when I buy this car is removed those ports until I can get all of my security set up below
is this the same case for the chrysler 300?
Late to this video but this is exactly why anyone with a Challenger/Charger or just any Mopar really needs to invest in a Z automotive Tazer, it locks your car down from shit like this and makes writing keys impossible, especially if you hardwire the tazer into a new OBD2 port that you can hide deep in the under padding of the car. Tons of other security settings you can utilize to like having the gas pedal completely disabled until you enter a pin when the vehicle starts and failure to do so raises the alarm, or having all 4 breaks locked until pin is entered etc. Z automotive Tazer, not a sponsor but that thing is truly the device to have for security.
Androids can be an absolute powerful asset in this tech society
They are
Why can’t we go back to old keys? Yes they can hot wire but not everyone knows how to hot wire.
U connect is part of the security gateway...
Typically programmers require subscription service or special cables to do a key, and other protocols.
Too bad that thieves have technology to circumvent technology....😢
So I’m planning on getting a killswitch it would help me from not getting the car stolen?
It could
Well you are doing the decent and right thing by putting it out there and knowledge is power.
That’s just crazy. We need to come up with better security and robust.
How about a viper alarm
I didn’t even think of it till just now, but I’m pretty sure I programmed the spare key for my truck while the actual key for it was sitting on our counter, now I got a different reader, and I got a different app, that I got it Originally used to program the back up camera for the truck whenever I added it and programmed the heated steering wheel and heated seats whenever I added them as well, now that I think about it I’m pretty sure I just put the vehicle in accessory, which you can do by just poking the button
I’d relocate the ECU to somewhere that’s easy to unplug when you leave your car, like the aftermarket radios from the 1980s. Thief would have to have the exact right ECU with him, even before programming to the vehicle.
they tried to get mine 2 months ago. had a kill switch & air tags in it. they put in in neutral & pushed it a mile away to work on it in seclusion. they couldn't make a new key or start it so they got angry & broke all my windows, pulled all my fuses & scratched it up. I located it 6hrs later using the dodge app. the recall I did to marry my key/ starter system to the car was a priceless upgrade. no new keys can be made. even from dodge.
The new method by passes the need for a key
@@TKsGarageno it doesn’t cus if it did they wuld have gotten mine by now yea they can push it but u have to get the neutral cover lock so they can’t pull the neutral release those two things and a engine kill switch is all u need and the engine kill switch is extra really only need the first two
and like the key is not in ur pocket white freckles
If the RF module lockout prevents even the dealership from making new key fobs, I doubt this new hack makes any difference... but I could be wrong🤔
Yea I did a lockout and LOST my key fob I had two locksmiths come and they couldn't even make a new key...had to get a brand new hub ...so I think this may not do much. Again get locks steel locks
@@scatcanbeatmaserati6480 what do you mean locks?

I’m surprised that it’s taken this long to get to this point.
lol, new bmws are dealership only, no 3rd party. toyota and lexus have rolling codes, i cant comprehend how this could possibly do that. Scotty killmer says taking a relay out of the car, whats the chance a robbers will have the relay to plug in?

@@TKsGarage what's the point then? The valet mode is a complete joke. I drove down the road with it in one day not even realizing. I was under the impression that you had to replace the MCU? Unit or something once locked down. Yet another reason I never let it out of my sight.
