You would be shocked at what a kid with a tow truck can do to the best ignition security system.
Up and away in less than a minute. Then in a hot shot shop, four hours and all the best parts are gone.
Keep your insurance!

I could open my '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee with my Palm and downloaded universal remote software. Both used IR. Most new cars today use RF.
Most TVs are still IR.

"Inventive bunch. Good work."
Absolutely. People worried about a high-tech police state in this country should take heed. Bureaucratic, authoritarian, pin-heads can't hope to match the intellect, inventiveness and rebelliousness of American Nerd-Dom.
