@sincor skateboarding ect As long as they've been public, their first obligation is to their shareholders. Get away from that, you can get sued or voted off the board (meaning no more board pay or comped expenses). The illusion that most of these companies were generally moral comes from their conduct of most profitable behavior aligning with what looks good to the market of buyers. They've had generous benefits for a long time, but that's probably due to a combination of two things: * wage price controls in the past where employers weren't allowed to increase cash pay, so they offered other things * being cash poor at least in a current sense and offering future benefits to employees to get through negotiations Those are both things that arise out of needing to make money, not give it away.
GM has ALWAYS pushed planned obsolescence and boost about being the best on the market. Almost as long as the company has been in business,they have built nothing but garbage and still say they are better then anyone else's car.(what a joke)
Scotty is right, once i was haging with some friends, and when we returned to the car we found everything was stolen, they left the car, no handle or glass were broken, we were amazed. We supossed the thief caught uo the signal when we closed the car with the alarm remote control. Thanks to this video i understand even more, i have learned so much with scotty videos, now i feel like a car expert haha Thank you!
Great job Scotty. I learn a lot listening to you. Engineer friend of mine, I used to think was one of the smartest men I’d ever known. One day we were discussing something and he looks at me and says, “you know, I learn something from you every day”. That taught me a valuable lesson. You’re never to smart to learn from someone else.
as far as i understand, keyless ignition fobs are CONSTANTLY sending a weak signal regardless of if you're pressing the LOCK or UNLOCK buttons, which is how the car knows if the key is in the car or not.. thieves use a device to AMPLIFY the signal (even outside your home) to allow unlocking and STARTING of the vehicle. a faraday cage can be useful
Brucev7 lower maintenance in a manual? You have to change fluid and the clutch out and to change the clutch out you gotta drop the trans. Autos you just change the fluid. So you’re wrong
Hey Scotty! Thanks for the advice. I actually had this happen and had to be towed 130 miles plus pay for new keys! It's more comment than people think. Plz follow Scotty's advice.
During these times of challenges in life, watching your videos is an equivalent of taking a valium. Thank you so much. Your cheerfulness and obvious concerns for the public is a god sent. Bless you.
4:40 I've been watching TH-cam for so long I no longer notice cuts in the edit... until the guy in the background starts teleporting. Fun and informative vid as always Scotty. Thanks for cranking them out on the regular. Looking forward to your App !!!
Great advice Scotty. When we bought my daughter a car for going to college we only received 1 electronic key. I bought another one from the dealer for $275 and bought a valet key for another $90. We hide the valet key on the car in case she loses her key while away from home. I know it is old school and a risk but that is what I do on all my cars - and it has come in handy a couple of times. It is tough to find a good metal surface now days with all the plastic in cars.
I got a key cut right away at Home Depot when we bought my wife's RAV 4. $2. Short term at least I can get into the vehicle. Don't you know she locked the keys in it a week later
That's a way of life for my niece. She was leaving my house. She's looking all over and under her car. I asked her what was wrong? She said I can't find my keys.......her car was already running. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@honestjohnt87 depends on the antitheft your vehicle has. If I need a new ignition key and don't have the original for my wife's suv it's about that much since they have to reprogram it
Love all of these tips! My dad and my late Hubby had garages. I loved being in the garage business. They would love you and your humorous things you say to help people remember things. Great job!! I drive mostly volvos talk about them. Lol
My evenings every time get better with Scotty's educational videos. Now, I am going to a shop as soon as possible to have a copy of my car's key!! Never thought of that before! Thank You Scotty!!
As a retired locksmith this was very informative and told people in laymans terms the ins and outs of a keyless and remote lock system. They can get very expensive and damage to the rest of the car's system can happen if inexperienced tech's hands, always use a legitimate licenced and bonded locksmith!
Ever finish cleaning the garage you have so many treasures/tips. My heart flipped when you pretended to be arrested,stay safe stay well and stay SCOTTY!!
Scotty is the most funny car mechanic on TH-cam. He just makes my day every time he laughs and puts a horse picture on the screen. It’s just so hilarious
Fun video. I lectured my wife of the importance of always having a 2nd key. Additional observation he missed: For battery keyfobs, always have a spare BATTERY around. For newer cars that won't start without a charge, and if you're in the middle of nowhere then there's a problem. For some cars that include a built in backup door opener (old fashioned key), you can keep the spare battery in the glove compartment and then load it up and start the car if needed.
Thanks Scotty, i've been a mechanic for 40+ yrs. an i can do most repairs without too much difficulty. But the new stuff seems to throw my a few curves, and you help me understand why it is happening. Keep doing your videos, i found myself watching all sorts of them even if i wasn't working on that problem or type of car. Thanks again.
Hey there, Scotty, you know I have watched you for a decent amount of time now and I respect each and every video I watch no matter what people say, I love your enlightening content. That device that you showed right at the last, the power unit could be useful to this old 68-year-old. Thanks, Scotty for ALL that you have done on TH-cam, you are quiet "The Legend" and you make a lot of people's day with your upbeat personality !! Take care, Friend.
When I bought my 2015 Toyota Highlander new, I specifically bought the base LE front wheel drive as it had a lot less electronics and the only model with a regular key. Great advice as usual Scotty.
Spot on again Scotty! I bought an ‘03 Mitsubishi that came with 2 keys - one with a black plastic handle and one straight metal. I had no idea the metal key only worked the door locks, not the ignition. Cost $125 for a duplicate chip key.
Great info, Scotty. I love your fast yet clear delivery. If you ever get old or bored with this you should consider teaching or acting. Or maybe become the infomercial guy! Nevermind, please keep on doing what you're doing.
Thank you for the tip Scotty. I just bought a Lexus RX350 with only one remote key. I will get a second one. I always watch your videos for advice. Thank you. God bless.
For an old timer like me, the key fob is a terrific convenience. It keeps me from having to fumble for the ignition keys. It stays nestled in my pocket without the need to take it out to open the car door or the trunk. This is one technology that I really appreciate .
@@abbassaada9548 I can agree. Its hands free. I wear my keys on my neck at all times now without having to drop what I'm holding or doing to yank it from my neck etc. Its so convenient.
Thanks for confirming that the newer, more expensive anti-theft devices are actually EASIER to crack. Lock your doors from the car, not the remote!!! Simple
Huge fan, Scotty. When my car got totaled, I was set on buying a Jeep Compass, until I started watching your vids and realized that they're unreliable. Thanks for all the good work you do!
Scotty has taught me more about car in a few months than i knew in two years. Keep up the good work. I know it must be a challenge to film this often and edit. Rest assured we truly appreciate it. Thumbs up
Great public service here! Thanks, Scotty! I thought I knew about modern key technology, but you showed me some new stuff. If I am in a strange neighbourhood, or a busy parkade, I ALWAYS open my car with the key in the door, the old-fashioned way. That way nobody can get your code. It's the same reasoning as you mentioned about locking.
Hello Scotty! Your the man when it comes to helping others. Your knowledge is priceless as is your advise! I admire you as do all the people I have known to listen when you speak. Keep being awesome my friend ;-)
I would quarantine myself in my car if I got decent Wi-Fi from it. Of course the old lady likes me in the house more than the garage. I live a sad life Scotty. But your videos are always a good pick me up. Thanks
I have been a follower of this site for a very long time. I have restored a few classics. I know more than the average person about cars, but I continually learn new things, like this key fob tips blog from Scott kilmer.
I need two keys to make a third key? Where did some engineer come up with that ideal? Former biologist turned engineer? Love your videos. May you and your family stay safe and healthy.
@@pt109che That’s interesting,I just retired as a Audi/VW tech and even if you lose all your keys you can order up to 5 keys only through the dealership by serial number and in person with id and ownership and all will be coded one at a time.another example is if you have 2 keys and want a third you need to bring the 2 keys to be coded with the new one,but if you forgot to bring both keys and only brought one then the new one would be coded to the one and the one at home would now not work.Then you have to come back with all the keys and recode again.
Way to go Scotty! Tonawanda Don thanks you! My son’s 2009 Benz keyfob just died his car would go no where. New batteries did no good! I’m getting him to a locksmith ASAP!
I have never seen someone who can being such interesting and clear details regarding motor vehicle issues and solutions. . . EXCEPT for you, Scotty. Thank you so much.
We have always bought a third key for our cars and trucks after having to have a used car that only had one. It cost almost $200. many years ago. So we pay up front now for a third key even for the one keyless van we have. My children don't and one has only one key for one of their cars !!! Looking forward to the new channel.
Wow thanks for the info on the keyless fobs, I could have never imagined that someone could catch the signal of them and could steal my car. A whole new world has been opened, thanks Scotty!
Anyone could steal anything out of the air. Literally... Back in WW2, British would intercept german's msg. Us did the same with the Japanese. Then you reverse psychology.
I’m in a rental Nissan kicks right now with push to start. I actually knew this info from this vid from s while back when I rented it. I don’t want the thing stolen even if it is a rental.
I bought my Taco used from a Yota dealership, and they were gonna let me just drive right off the lot with only 1 set of the Immobilizer keys. I told them, "Nuh uh, these things come with 2 new, so I want 2." I held off for 5 more days on actually taking custody of the vehicle until THEY programmed me a new set of keys.
You win. I'll buy a second Keyless Ignition System. I've had just one for the last 9 years.Thanks. PS: my secret not to lose it was that I always take it out of my pocket and put it in the same location every time after coming home.
Scotty has been really helpful to me. His wealth of experience is helping me take care of my car and teaching me what good used car to be on the lookout for. Thanks Scotty
Scotty is really one of the greats. Im subscribed but get no emails. I like how he calls the bad areas "strange". After ending up in a strange area, you know its time to make some corrections to your life. I call it a stranger changer.
Hey Scotty, I read somewhere that wrapping those electronic keys around tin foil helps keep car thief’s (AKA: LOWLIFES), from swiping your car. Keep up the good videos, Scotty and stay warm in Texas.
Scotty is demonstrating the thieves’ tools of their trade and what/how it is vulnerable. It gives us cause to try and thwart these methods and devices. Personally, I would recommend a brake lock for security.
I have a 528i with only 1 key. I have been meaning to go to the dealer to have another one made for 380 bucks. That's been put off for two years now. Thanks for the reminder lm doing this Monday.
Hey Scotty, I wiped my whole 94' Celica down with ASSURED Hand Sanitizer. Do you reckon it will be OK if I self quarantine myself in it for the remainder of this year.
Scotty, great vid as usual...I had a Porsche Boxster once and lost the key.. Oooh Laawd what a hassle. Had to tow the car 200+ miles to Porsche Dealer to get the key replaced...
Compton Blvd. SOME cars are stolen all over SoCal, but SC has a LOT of very skilled police officers, and departments. The 'enemy' would be, of course, high-density population.

Mr. Bean had a great anti theft system on his mini. He removed the steering wheel whenever he got out of the car.
I know someone who did this at work lol
Somerset Frisby no he literally removed the entire steering wheel and put it in a suitcase and took it with him whenever he parked his car
@@troyster91 yeah man, I used to know that guy! His name was Mr. Bean! Good times, good times.
Some guy did that in my class. Carried his steering wheel with him wherever he went. He still got his car stolen. They used vice grips. 😂
Don't forget the padlock on the outside.

4:45 this guy was probably like "Oh that Scotty guy is screaming into his camera again" 🤣🤣
he was wondering "When will Scotty get to work on my car, so I can get it back?"
He disappeared abruptly, probably due to an edit
Yea, but he is soooo Awesome!!!!
I NEVER KNEW... you could activate the anti-theft system simply by locking the doors with the driver's lock-all button. Thanks Scotty!!
Duh! Everyone knew about that, IMAO.
That explains why we loose so much hardware in a Middle East.

Tip: Always ask the salesman if they have two keys... some dealerships won’t tell you until you’re driving away.
I had to ask with the first dealer, when I got the other Camry he just gave me both. I always make a third immediately.
Scotty is the most funny car mechanic on TH-cam. He just makes my day every time he laughs and puts a horse picture on the screen. It’s just so hilarious

@@pt109che That’s interesting,I just retired as a Audi/VW tech and even if you lose all your keys you can order up to 5 keys only through the dealership by serial number and in person with id and ownership and all will be coded one at a time.another example is if you have 2 keys and want a third you need to bring the 2 keys to be coded with the new one,but if you forgot to bring both keys and only brought one then the new one would be coded to the one and the one at home would now not work.Then you have to come back with all the keys and recode again.
Zettel 9016 sorry two key fobs
Way to go Scotty! Tonawanda Don thanks you! My son’s 2009 Benz keyfob just died his car would go no where. New batteries did no good! I’m getting him to a locksmith ASAP!
I have never seen someone who can being such interesting and clear details regarding motor vehicle issues and solutions. . . EXCEPT for you, Scotty. Thank you so much.
"Clean non-offensive comment" as ordered! Thanks for making these videos, I've learned a lot since discovering them.
Keep the videos coming Scotty, takes the mind of things in times like this🙂
Good Luck with your new channel and app, also Good Luck staying away from the virus.
P.E.A.C.E., Hiero/Souls of Mischief..
We have always bought a third key for our cars and trucks after having to have a used car that only had one. It cost almost $200. many years ago. So we pay up front now for a third key even for the one keyless van we have. My children don't and one has only one key for one of their cars !!! Looking forward to the new channel.
Wow thanks for the info on the keyless fobs, I could have never imagined that someone could catch the signal of them and could steal my car. A whole new world has been opened, thanks Scotty!
Anyone could steal anything out of the air. Literally... Back in WW2, British would intercept german's msg. Us did the same with the Japanese. Then you reverse psychology.
Nice video, Scotty! Great to learn about these new key systems.
I just got a car with a keyless ignition system and I didnt know I needed this video.👍
I’m in a rental Nissan kicks right now with push to start. I actually knew this info from this vid from s while back when I rented it. I don’t want the thing stolen even if it is a rental.
I bought my Taco used from a Yota dealership, and they were gonna let me just drive right off the lot with only 1 set of the Immobilizer keys. I told them, "Nuh uh, these things come with 2 new, so I want 2." I held off for 5 more days on actually taking custody of the vehicle until THEY programmed me a new set of keys.
Good for you ! That's the way ya doit.
You win. I'll buy a second Keyless Ignition System. I've had just one for the last 9 years.Thanks. PS: my secret not to lose it was that I always take it out of my pocket and put it in the same location every time after coming home.
Scotty has been really helpful to me. His wealth of experience is helping me take care of my car and teaching me what good used car to be on the lookout for. Thanks Scotty
Great advice, Scotty! Thanks for all of these really good key tips and stay safe, brother!👍👍👍
Love your videos Scotty. I’ve gotten great advice from you over the years
Thank you for your help once again!
Scotty is really one of the greats. Im subscribed but get no emails. I like how he calls the bad areas "strange". After ending up in a strange area, you know its time to make some corrections to your life. I call it a stranger changer.
Hey Scotty, I read somewhere that wrapping those electronic keys around tin foil helps keep car thief’s (AKA: LOWLIFES), from swiping your car. Keep up the good videos, Scotty and stay warm in Texas.
Thanks for the great information on keys!
Excellent advice, Scotty, as always, yer the GO-TO PRO, keep up the good work
Scotty teaching us how to steal
Sure if you got $6000 to spend on a vehicle scanner
Scotty is demonstrating the thieves’ tools of their trade and what/how it is vulnerable. It gives us cause to try and thwart these methods and devices. Personally, I would recommend a brake lock for security.
My thoughts exactly lol
I have a 528i with only 1 key. I have been meaning to go to the dealer to have another one made for 380 bucks. That's been put off for two years now. Thanks for the reminder lm doing this Monday.
Kilmers KEY lessons. Always learn something new. Lovin it , keep reving ur ENGINE'S...
Thank you such great advice as always, you are the best!❤️
I've been watching Your video non-stop thanks to the Quarantine.
Hey Scotty, I wiped my whole 94' Celica down with ASSURED Hand Sanitizer. Do you reckon it will be OK if I self quarantine myself in it for the remainder of this year.
Lol you'll be safe
TheLizardKing1967 You’re the equivalent of a Tesla model X with biohazards mode on. Smart!
@@chriscarguy LOL
Scotty, great vid as usual...I had a Porsche Boxster once and lost the key.. Oooh Laawd what a hassle. Had to tow the car 200+ miles to Porsche Dealer to get the key replaced...
Great tip! I only have one key fob for my 2015 F-150 (bought it used and the dealer didn’t have the second). Gonna get a second one made ASAP!
You forgot the one great anti theft today...the manual transmission!!!
Paul Puljic 🤣🤣🤣
@@acrepairnearme I drive both. Once learnt back in 1970 never forgotten. I can go back to manual shift any day.
Lol 😂
“Compton Avenue”-I see what you did there Scotty! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Compton Blvd. SOME cars are stolen all over SoCal, but SC has a LOT of very skilled police officers, and departments. The 'enemy' would be, of course, high-density population.
When I was in the auto salvage business 15 years ago, a simple phone call to my buddy at the dealership could cut me a key via the VIN number.
I've done that with every car I bought within the last 15 years (cut by VIN at the dealer).
Scotty, seriously, I'm so happy I found you. I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you
Great advice. my Nissan key fob cost me a $400 to replace 2 years ago... never again will I not have a spare.
