Someone mentioned that the transponder key makes it easier for hi tech thieves to steal cars, which is apparently true with some brands. See link below for a story with CCTV clips of the actual theft. I understand BMW has blocked this method with new software, but this sounds an awful lot like a zero day hack that Microsoft fixes only to have more appear. http://www.bmwblog.com/2012/10/21/video-bmw-m3-stolen-with-obd-key-cloning/ Ian _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive |
