Demoralised much? Gun ownership (not illegal, yet) reduces crime and no criminal wants to die for a car. Same reason farmers dont get their houses burgled...@@Jk-oz5qn
Worst thing if someone’s stealing your car , you can’t do anything physical to stop them . Just have to watch your car be stolen . The way criminals have more rights over homeowners . Police don’t care either
I had an attempted theft on a previous car 5 years ago. The police did not do anything sadly, they just assumed it was some travelers and went on their way. No inspection of the car carried out, no statements taken. I spent the next year always looking over my shoulder when getting in and out of the car, in the end the car had to be sold
Indeed, the "traveller" community enjoy being above the law and taxes. And they use that immunity to full effect and police repeatedly let them do as they please.
Not really, both ended up damaged. I think I'd prefer my car be stolen than damaged like that. It's a claim either way but if it's stolen it's less hassle and you can change car if you want. If they repair your damaged car you can't change it, it's a hassle, and the car will always be damaged goods in my eyes.
A lot of modern cars that come with keyless entry, can usually have it (keyless entry) disabled by certain button combinations either on the remote or in the car. This immediately stops anyone trying to intercept the signal, as there isn’t one. You then don’t need a faraday pouch / box, and you press the button on the remote to unlock the doors. Hardly difficult 🤷♂️ Range Rovers (for example) have had the ability to have it disabled by the owner for a long time, but most obviously don’t do it. I don’t understand why owners don’t simply use this option and remove the threat? Ignorance? Laziness? Arrogance thinking it won’t happen to them maybe? Yes, an alarm will help, but who looks out the window these days when yet another car alarm goes off? And what are you sposed to do when it does? ... Run out and confront 3-4 tooled up lads with nothing to lose? And in the unlikely event you do give them a kicking, Plod will be around to arrest you, instead of thanking you for doing their job 🤷♂️
People forget. And it's a nuisance to have to press the key combination every time to disable the keyfob. Probably easier to just drop the fob into a small metal box and close the lid
I don't know why it was not communicated by the police or manufacturer that the keyless function could be disabled one time. It is not a major inconvenience to press a button to unlock a car. First thing I did when I bought a new car is secure it with my own security. I even removed the osb port
You realise currently Range Rovers keyless entry is so easily beatable that Land Rover won't insure any of their own cars because they are so high risk of theft, but they refuse to fix it
@@deang5622lol @ it's a nuisance. The number of BMW's, range rovers and Audi's that have old fashioned crook locks in them suggests the owners don't know it can be disabled. Pressing a button is far easier than removing a crook lock every time you get in.
Okay so I had my keys in a Faraday pouch which was in the fridge , ghost immobiliser and it had a steering lock yet they still nicked my First RS and I gave the old bill photographic evidence of the muppet that done it yet nothing was done and he still roams the streets filming himself stealing cars. The police do not care. Simple as.
If you had a ghost on it then it wasn't fitted correctly by people who are certified installers. They probably located it in a generic position that the thieves could find easily. Should take at least 3 hours or so to do a proper install not 30 mins . Auto watch who make them have over 100,000 installs with only a handful being stolen which were either bad installs, car lifted onto low loader or thieves had access to the pin or override card.
@vivabielsamot5828 install was done correctly by a reputable company and wasn't a back alley job. Definitely wasn't a 30 min job I can assure you. More the point of police don't care.
@@connorwaites8125 well it's still unbelievable how it was driven away in my opinion . Did you get a refund from your installer?? A reputable accredited installer will offer a full refund should it be stolen . As far as I'm aware there's only been a total of about 14 thefts out of over 100,000 installs which is an excellent record of 0.01% bearing in mind some of those could have been lifted . I have ghost 2 and S5 tracker which is a live subscription so they can alert me as soon as my car is moved without the fob inside the car. No security is 100% but I see numerous videos on YT of failed attempts to steal with a ghost than ones that have actually been stolen .
@@connorwaites8125 Police are understaffed, underpaid, under qualified, prisons are full, judges are lenient, laws are soft.. the list goes on. Cause and effect.
Like us, Police can only do what they are instructed! Serious Crime as in Life Threatening is Priority, Theft is not a Priority! Have goods stolen is Part of Ownership Risks, The more folk show off the more Criminals Close in so Basically you asked for it! Not Right or Fair but that's the way of the World!!!

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
That is *ALL YOU NEED* now, it fools most people that take their gadgets along. They are buying expensive programmers and car theft kits with lockpicking tools and are stumped by a hidden switch. Many are still defeated by removing the fuse for the 12v supply to the OBD2 socket, they plug devices in and there is no power. That is if you have not hidden the socket out of the way. You can go one further and stick a double pole switch for two circuits to really annoy them. Maybe the fuel pump and something else you choose. Some car alarms have a feature that will allow you to program a button press sequence to start. You have to remember to "press left indicator, press hazard switch, press AC on" before the car will start - but all that can be defeated too.
I did this back in the late 80s when all hot hatch backs were getting stolen. Mine never got stolen hidden kill switch did the trick, definitely work today
ive got a hidden switch in all my cars, wired up so when you open the door if the switch isnt armed it will beep so you cant forget. cost me 20 quid and a couple hours to do the 3
@@RedBull.RedBull simply just a switch in the ignition wiring that you can hide somewhere. Mine is easily accessible but no one would know it was there.
yeah for some reason alot of normal folk seem to think its Not okay to protect yourself or your things against criminals probably explains why the police are told to stand down half the time or dont even show up at all
You can defend yourself how you see fit, you can Restrain a Criminal but if Criminal fights back then Defend Yourself How you see Fit, Remember folks Criminals these days are Armed so you may come off worse for the sake of a Tally Wacker Extension! Is it worth it???
Fuck the UK law I will do what I need to do to defend myself or my family and I will deal with the consequences after, the world is too dangerous these days
@@adamevo 100% the law wont proctect you. police wont do anything so Criminals just carry on well guess what am not one of those to stand down not we they got me once and i follow the rules and ended up having to recover my car myself with NO police help even after begging on the phone nxt time there will be a body these people need to understand not every one will just give up and police are USELESS.
I recall a case noted on Blackbelt Barrister where a vehicle fitted with a tracking device was stolen, tracked down by the owner, then reported to Police. Police were not interested.
You can place as much security in the way as you like, but an armed gang will do whatever it takes for you to hand over the keys and the unlocking codes. During first lockdown I had an RS parked on the drive. Keys in a faraday pouch. Woke to hear banging thinking it was next door. Son came in and said he could see torchlight around the front door. I looked out the window to see a gang of 4 getting into a black Range Rover. They had tried to break in by forcing the door jamb. And apparently tried around the back of the house. God knows what they would have done if they’d got in. Somehow they were disturbed luckily.
Expensive alarms *DO NOT STOP THEFTS* - they only change the way something is stolen and in most cases create a far more harmful situation and put the owner at *MORE RISK* from attack to get the keys to deactivate the alarm. They would have attacked you. Always have a walking stick or umbrella at the top of the stairs and by your bed, maybe one of those with a spike on the end by the front door. If anyone did break in and fell backwards down the stairs as a result of you switching the lights on and startling them, they get everything they deserve. A Chief Constable once told listeners on a radio show "dead witnesses can't talk" - he is right.
My German sheppard loves sleeping in my car overnight as he knows he gets treats off me in the morning. And he REALLY does hate other people who wakes him up 😂
@zoenagy9458 no. I keep my car in the garage with the car doors open and the garage door unlocked. If the scum bags want to have a go, they can help themselves, but I know how it will end mind 🤣🤣🤣
Watching this in my mid 50’s I remember when in the late 80’s early 90’s we had insanely simplistic anti theft methods costing no more than £50 now that’ll definitely stop theft like this ! We’ve become to tech centric!
Assuming you’re talking about a steering wheel lock that’s exactly what Toyota recommend. Throwing more tech into the mix won’t necessarily solve the issue, they’ll simply learn how to hack that too. We should ditch keyless entry and start buttons, they’re entirely unnecessary.
I used to have a cheap method very cheap infact 😂 take out my bloody fuses for fuel pumps and other stuff 😂😂 simple and effective and I can imagine nowadays would be even more effective if you as an owner knows which fuses to take out for fuel and other electric stuff im guesssing most thieves would not have knowledge or the spare fuses handy in their pocket to plop into ya fuse box and drive away ??? Maybe I’m wrong lol 😂😂😂

@@S1CKB1KEZ They cut through steering wheels to get the locks off.... problem is battery powered tools.
Just disconnect your Battery or remove it altogether at night. When not in use.. Car isn't going anywhere. Done this for years parking my car on my Driveway. Wasting your money on Security devices. If they want it they will get it..
As someone who had their car stolen at the end of last year just after Christmas, I now have an alarm system fitted and I have a disklok, wheel clamp and pedal lock. It might sound excessive and long winded but the more things you have, especially with the visual locks, the more of a deterrent it is to the thieves to not even bother trying to take it and honestly it takes seconds to put the physical locks on and off, and would you rather take a few extra seconds before driving your car, or wake up to find you no longer have a car? The police are absolutely useless as well because realistically they already know they’re not gonna find your car so they don’t bother to look for it.
If they want it, they take it ! Alarms are of no use and only aim to slow people down as some will tow or lift the car, but if you are faced with a knife or group of people are you really going to get yourself injured? The steering wheel covers are not that good, neither are wheel clamps as the lock is the weak point. The problem is that as cars become more electronic, that's the weakness. Modules are not all coded to the car and not all data is encrypted between modules, if it was it would stop a lot being stolen. We have gone back to the days of a front door key opening every Ford. For example, the Range Rover is the easiest to steal as the module that is replaced is in the boot under a plastic cover. People take their own programmed to their own key, get in the car and then take one control module out and put theirs in before driving off. A similar thing happens with ECUs. BMW are terrible, you can get in using tools from an auction site! Once inside it is a case of programming your own key and driving off. Most will carry and plug in a GPS jammer to defeat that system too. They sell for £20. There is only one system that sends out a VHF/UHF tracker signal, but people have to go out hunting for that using the last known cell site. In most areas, excluding all the high value stolen to order for gangs and exports, the trend for stolen cars can be worked out from using sites that sell insurance write-offs in some regions! You only have to look at what is being sold most and then similar cars start being stolen to order to repair them. This happens a lot. I have a cut'n'shut and accident repair shop by me that was well known for stealing cars to order for parts they needed. Most stolen interiors end up on auction sites, most parts end up in breaker yards and scrap yards. Always be suspicious when main dealers have a few months wait for parts, but a scrap yard can get you anything same day! Years ago it was Rover cars being stolen by reaching under the front wheel and pulling down a connector, we have not moved on much. There are lots of well publicised ways and sites showing all the weaknesses manufacturers are deliberately exposing people to and doing nothing about. Some things you can do - 1. Relocate the diagnostics socket to somewhere else in the car, just move it out of the way. 2. Remove the fuse that supplies 12v to the OBD socket. 3. Use a RF shielded bag to put your keys in. 4. Have gates that lock, use those retractable posts. 5. Fit floodlights with PIR 6. Fit CCTV and Ring Doorbell - if only they would bring out a 4K one! 7. Don't use a popular company for alarms as where and how they fit them is also over various web sites! 8. Don't rely on just an alarm, use immobiliser techniques such as RFID tags and button press sequences to start etc 9. Use an old Android phone hidden in the car as a tracker - very easy to make yourself. 10. Don't fight gangs of armed people as a car can be replaced... The number of cars I see recovered with expensive alarms is incredible, they don't do much to protect against the criminal gangs.
@@Bond2025this looks like an AI generated repose 😂 but clearly you aren’t familiar with Pandora Car alarms. It’s not just an alarm, it’s an immobiliser and tracker. Even if cables are cut and the Pandora system was completely removed, the vehicle will STILL be completely immobilised
@@Bond2025I have a Pandora Storm Plus Immobiliser, with anti-hijack and tracker. They’re not stealing the car. If they pull me out of the car and take my keys, without the tag it will come to a controlled stop down the road. If they get the tag, I just need to ring a number off any phone and boom, engine stopped and they can’t start it. It also has two immobilisers, they will have to be able to find both. Even then, if they are ripped out, the car still won’t start.
does sound excessive to me mate.. the scumbags that will steal someones pride and joy will do anything it takes so if your car looks like it would take to much effort then hopefully they will bugger off... Really hope it never happens to you again! wish it never happened to anyone but with the world today its only going to get worse.
You have completely lost control of the streets they don’t fear you and know there is absolutely no consequence they nick them in broad daylight around here and certain models have become uninsurable SE London suburbs
alot of folk for some reason have now decided crime shouldnt be caught or punished as severely No wonder the crims are allowed to get away with it most of the time
Can’t they just post a police unit at the port entrance to stop these thieves because if 20 cars turn up at 3 am in the morning worth over a million pounds that’s a bit suspicious and it don’t take a bright spark to figure that out, the security guard at the port who is just letting all these cars in has to be involved somehow
The insurance companies need to start recognising these additional security systems, I've got a Ghost 2 system fitted to my car and use a Faraday box to store my keys however when I did my insurance renewal I got the feeling the insurance companies weren't interested in the extra security installed in the car to potentially give a premium reduction.
i have 1100 quad worth of locks on my motorbike and 2 of them are some of the best in the world and all the locks are recognised by insurance and no discount lol.
I recently phoned round for insurance quotes for my car and they asked if it had a tracker fitted, i replied it didn't have one but if it would reduce the premium i would consider getting one fitted. The rep said it would reduce the premium by a good amount. I asked which one they recommended. She advised a Scorpion (can't remember which model) that was going to cost 400 quid to get fitted. She said it would reduce my premium by £52 per year so just to recoup the cost of the tracker i would need to keep the car 8 years and that doesn't include the monthly subscription. No thanks
Thatcham needs to be looked at by the government but alll they are interested in is making more money at the consumers misery disgusting is what it is 😢but that’s the world we live in
its all a con, even most motorcycle security is utter shite. dealers bang on about how good certain locks are when in reality a lump hammer and a pair of bolt cutters is all you need to cut or smash the lock and steal an expensive motorbike. good security exists but it costs hundreds and dealers wont have it in the showroom because no one will buy it.
I got one of these installed my Abarth 595 back in the day. (Some people would say overkill but hey pride and joy eh) even got it done at the location you filmed the interview with pandora 😂 Device worked like a charm. I've since sold the car but anyone on the fence about this system don't be it's a good system, gives you peace of mind that's for sure when youre away from your car. What's cool is if you wear that tag on your person while driving and someone dudes come take you from the car they'll only get so far as the system will detect the tag is missing, count down and immobilise the car. Really great stuff 👏👏👏
I think the onus is on car manufacturers to provide the correct level of security. I feel terrible for those car owners in this video. But also a review of the minimum sentence that the court gives is appalling and needs to seriously change.
That's one of the main problems. It pays to steal expensive cars. If the thieves got very long sentences, they would definitely think again. It really is a serious business these days. Also, I'm sure that the manufacturers are partly to blame.
If every car model from a manufacturer had the same security it wouldn't be that secure, thieves would find a way around it as they would all be installed the same. If you fit your own/get your own fitted, you can hide it somewhere different and make it harder to get around, and they won't know what's making it secure. Just disable keyless entry, it's useless anyway, check which fuse from the fusebox to pull out or disable it in the menu if you can, and stick your keys in a tin box at night.
What's worse, especially with modified cars, is the quality of the insurance underwriters on offer. we spend ages shopping around for the best price when we should be checking the reviews of the underwriters. Unfortunately, we have lost control of our borders, our country, and our justice system. This situation is only going to be worse over time. Maybe old-school steering locks and wheel clamps are not a bad shout, especially if you're not using your car for a period of time
old school security is the best especially if its quality made stuff. its the same problem in the motorcycle community/industry. people bang on about there fancy tracker and alarm but they have no idea that professional thieves can jam a tracker or they just rip it out or park the bike somewhere where the tracker signal cuts out. and for alarms well no one cares and most of them are terrible quality.
Hy guys. It’s a very good video that you did on this car security issue. I have one Pandora installed on my x5 for the past 2 years and I’m definitely recommending one. Especially the full Pandora with gps. I’ll make a video in the next month about this. But until then, very very good advice and content you gave. And I like that Officer owner really gets involved in this. Once again well done.
The Halfords pouch also works really well to protect your key signal. I placed my spare key inside it and left it in the car. I then locked the car using my usual key with no issues, if there was any signal leak from the pouch then the car would have sensed it and it would not have locked.
The answer is easy. Car manufacturers have no interest in making cars harder to steal, and here is why... You buy a new car, your car is stolen, insurance pays out, you buy another car, thus raising the sales. It really is that simple, greed on the thieves part and greed on the car company's part.
Why not stop selling the gadgets that allow these people stealing your car. It seams to me the car industry has gone back to the 80s where a capri key will get you into a cortina
@@Johny40Se7en thing is during the 80s it was common knowledge however I locked my keys in my Capri and a guy on the training scheme I was on had a Cortina in the car park he didn’t believe me until we went out to the car park and showed him. He was completely stunned
The Police have abdicated so many responsibilities. They rarely patrol. Their clear up rate is a joke. They need to take a long hard look at their actions.
It’s so simple, 1st of all get yourself a really crappy job that pays fuck all then you won’t be able to afford a nice car and it won’t get stolen that’s my perfect plan
Equally it is the people who are financing cars they can't afford to buy. Greater number of higher value vehicles on the road = greater chance of it being stolen / written off thus increasing the premiums.
A simple hidden inhibit circuit consisting of a 4 pin relay,micro push switch,fuse holder and piece of wire,costing pennies and taking about 30 minutes to fit puts an end to all that.I have fitted loads for various customers. Failure to activate the switch while cranking kills power to the vehicles can/lin/van/network rendering the vehicle for all intents and purposes,dead until a hidden fuse is replaced.
I had a Faraday bag and while it worked to start with, it wore out and stopped working. While my keyless entry key goes to sleep after 40 seconds,I switched keyless entry off on the car. Paranoid? Maybe, but if that keeps the car on the drive, paranoia helps me sleep at night (there have been thieves in this area trying to steal cars via keyless entry scanners)
Use austere methods on car thieves: 1)Location trackers 2)Microchip implants 3)Lie detector tests 4)Hard labour Worse case scenario, make repeat offenders participate in a new game show called Deff Race 2000!
What's wrong with having, IDK, say a "key" unique to your particular car that you PHYSICALLY slot into the dashboard somewhere, then turn to start a car? Coupled with that, a small chip built in with a unique code, JUST IN CASE. Funny how car thefs were at it's lowest around mid 00's and has only gone up (skyrocketed at points) thereafter. A word to car manufacturers. *STOP USING RFID KEYLESS SYSTEMS!* A word to ignorant rich people: *STOP BUYING CARS WITH RFID KEYLESS SYSTEMS!*
UK police are a joke, too busy catching uninsured drivers, no tax, speed cameras everywhere.... When your car gets stolen whilst they will take your details, they won't proactively attempt to recover the car or find the thief: even when you tell them your vehicle is tracked and it is currently traveling on this road or that etc they tell you they don't have the resources. The worst thing I've been told by them is "claim from your insurance". Absolute joke since claiming means higher insurance premiums the following year. The thief gets your car and all the victim gets is a hefty bill. Now, I have been told by some police officers that they indeed want to tackle crime proactively but their senior management won't allow them to do so due to budget constraints. I get this, but this information is only conveyed by some officers, the rest just fob you off with no explanation (I call these police OSSIFERS on power trips).
Another issue is those with undesirable cars that are much less likely to be stolen are having their insurance premium increased extortionately to subsidise the owners of cars that are being stolen, what they should do is hammer the high end cars so they become too expensive to insure, with less sales the premium brands will need to step up their car security measures, being the owner of a budget car and seeing my insurance increase by 50% isn't fair, now my neighbour has lost to theft 3 cars, his insurance has also gone up 50% plus the loss of one year no claims, he pays £200 more per year than i,and his car is worth three times mine 😡 ive not had a claim for over 30 yesrs, scandalous situation
Want too stop cars being stolen.......make it more of a serious crime and give theives a far more severe penalties, stop the sales of the devices that aid car theft and allow members of the public too defend their property or possessions without penalty.
Perhaps with our impending islamic take over, hands will be removed for theft. That would stop them. "A man had his hand cut off after being attacked with his own machete by angry vigilantes, according to locals. A 19-year-old man was found with “life-changing injuries” after it was alleged a machete was used to strike his hand off at the wrist in Golding Street, Whitechapel at 5.45pm on Sunday." Sept 2021.
I’ve had a camper van stolen never seen again then a motorhome burnt out outside my house because they couldn’t get it away as I had a hidden cut off switch.Police didn’t even come out gave me a crime number I’ve give up on motorhomes for now
Im surprised the insurance industry hasn't priced keyless entry out of existence. As far as i can tell, insuring a £100k Range Rover is almost guaranteed to result in a loss.
Perhaps they want us all to own keyless entry vehicles, until continuous replacements at less than the market value mean we can't afford any car any more. Only the rich will own cars, and the plebs will all be forced to ride bikes. Net zero target achieved
It's simpler. In the garage, they removed my obd and installed some round socket. All wiring from the round socket is white wires and give me an adaptor to convert round socket to normal obd for diagnostic. They say all connections are different and don't have the same pattern for different customer
What I learned here is my risk is already reduced by 98% simply by driving a car that doesn't have keyless entry. Who on earth thought that a key that constantly broadcasted it's code would ever be a good idea anyway?
Keys do not constantly broadcast. You can still have a car without keyless entry stolen within seconds depending on the model. Once access is gained, it is only a matter of plugging something in and coding a new key to use. With some videos I have watched, it is done within a minute. Non-keyless is not a guarantee of being safer.
@@Bond2025Probably not literally constantly, but certainly frequently, or these systems wouldn't work - neither would the methods to intercept these signals thieves often use to get into vehicles. A thief can get into a keyed vehicle, obviously, but it's far harder to do without somehow damaging the vehicle. Said damage makes it more obvious that it's nicked, and hurts resell values..... From the thief's perspective, keyless is the better option. The stats speak for themselves, the vast majority of cars stolen now are keyless...
Someone needs to tell pandora security through obscurity IS NOT security. It doesn't matter if they install stuff differently in different cars, a determined thief will have the means to find it. That aside, a wireless system using what is clearly some form of short range RF transmission to enable/disable the module is susceptible to the usual RF attacks. So, while security may be improved, inherent flaws exist that can be exploited.
UK has become the worst country. I've been offered a job that was +2000€ more than my current job (6800€ currently) and i refused because of these sht ! My mental health easily costs AT LEAST that difference. So i balanced out and refused !

I rejected a very nice car because the previous owner had foolishly specified the KESSY keyless entry system. Keyless entry is a pointless, vanity gizmo.
I blame government funding for the police. I applaud the police's work especially as i work with them in my ed department. Sadly too much call outs most due to stupidity of the public wbich is why i hope more officers are employed
I have a faraday pouch. Yes, they do initially work, but.... after a while. Seemingly the cease to stop the signal going through. So I still use my pouch, but.... I have ADDED extra covering inside of my pouch. Simple tin foil. That foil that is used in the kitchen, that covers the turkey, meat, chicken when being roasted. All it is doing is ADDING extra layers to stop the signal. Plus I have added a Ghost 2 System. The more difficult for the thief, the better you can sleep at night. The little bit EXTRA spend on your vehicle, IS worth it. A little extra spend, SAVES the payment for a REPLACEMENT vehicle. Well worth it.
I wanted to ask for clarification on the laws regarding car lighting. I think I understand the dos and don'ts of exterior lighting, but are there any restrictions on changing the inside light bulbs for fun colours? Like if I wanted to change my map light bulbs for a blue or a red would that be a problem?
“Here’s why”: STOP GIVING PEOPLE CRIME NUMBERS, MAKING THEM STATISTICS AND THE POLICE DO SQUARE ROOT OF JACK ABOUT IT. ACTUALLY IMPOSE STRONGER SENTENCES AND BE AN EFFECTIVE DETERRENT. HOW ABOUT THIS?! SO OWNERS DON’T HAVE TO TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS!!!!
Don't get a new car, get a crappy old one that only uses a normal key, not a IOT device on wheels that is easy to hack. With these anti steal devices that show you where your car is going after it has been stolen has already failed in it's job, what's the point it's already stolen, who cares about tracking a stolen vehicle, it's your own fault for wanting a shinny push button start car that has an infotainment system that will make the car worthless in less than 10 years time because the apps don't work and is also fully hackable.
Is it really when People will still buy despite that fact? The more cars that get stolen the customers will still buy new cars so the manufacturers will still keep making money.
Then this is where insurance companies should get involved and say that they will refuse to insure any new cars with keyless entry/start fitted. Some companies do seem to be starting to do this. I saw a video on here a few weeks ago regarding Range Rover and them having their own insurance. The guy in the video tried to get a quote and they didn't want to know. When Range Rover won't insure their own cars that speaks volumes!

Some of these cars are stolen quicker than cars in the 70s when security hadn’t even been thought of. In one youthful incident with the owner’s full consent and participation, we unlocked, started and drove a 1974 Toyota. With a lolly stick. It seems to be a bit more expensive for organised criminals today, but a similar principle
They can’t. The tag basically uses military level encryption which is about 128bit if I remember where as your standard car alarm/keys use about an 8bit signal that is easily hackable
@@TimmyTheSnail But that's not how a relay attack works - nothing is 'hacked'. The relay attack just reads the key signal and repeats it close to the car to trick the car into thinking the key is closer to it. It doesn't care about the encryption. If their tag works in a similar way (proximity to the car), then surely the relay attack is possible too? They really didn't explain it so I'm sceptical.
@@hippopotamus86 that’s still classed as it being hacked. It’s taking the signal and cloning it essentially, by which they have to be able to copy the signal in the first place. The Pandora tag cannot be duplicated like that. Trust me, I literally have the system fitted to my car
@@TimmyTheSnail ... I just wanted to know how it protects from it. It's apparently just a bluetooth fob that the Pandora system detects when it's near the car and then allows your main car fob to unlock the car. Sure I guess it protects from traditional relay theft, but it may well be possible to spoof the fob with another form of attack but they're vague on that.
@@TimmyTheSnail OH DEAR *military grade* means absolutely nothing! It is a misleading advertising term used to make people think it is something better or special when it is not, it uses a standard well known encryption method. 128Bit is hardly sophisticated. To help avoid being scammed, don't believe advertising without checking it out. Adverts are written a certain way to sell products.
If it’s electronic it’s DOOMED TO FAIL, and this Officer appears dedicated, helpfully, and informative (he is the exception). In short, the Police don’t give a sh*t………
If they want it, it'll be taken. They dragged my neighbours' BMW down the road behind a towtruck, handbrake still locked on, in broad daylight. It's never been recovered
Unfortunately, our matriarchal society, in particular its justice system thinks that they're just naughty infants who can be rehabilitated by increasing the amount of kindness shown towards them.
@GuidedArrow.... Sorry to burst your bubble but anyone with a brain cells could take it EVEN WITH THAT FUNCTION... they still do @7 mins ..... it's still got wireless signals/broadcasts. Just hack in to gain entry & bingo it theirs! Get use to it & get rid of the car & get a banger kit it out... much safer.
Criminals rent vehicles to learn flaws.. we don't let you film us because we do things different.. but what stops the criminals getting a few of these installed and learning the flaws there...
And the worst thing is when your car does get stolen is that when u call the police thay don’t turn up and if thay ever turn up all thay give u is a crime number that means nothing to a criminal
Exactly, i reported this stolen van CN69NBX to Surrey police, parked in my street. It was taken by the thief's days later, due to the slow reactions of them. Waste of time and effort reporting it
To have the best security all you have to do is tell the manufacturers that they have to replace any car that has it's factory fitted alarms bypassed. They would either invest in proper security systems or would have to pull out of that countries market.
So this is basically an advert for Pandora Alarms using shock marketing. And what do you mean, "get and alarm".? So, we have to get another alarm for the cars factory fitted alarm?
My 22 Toyota RAV4 was stolen from Stratford international NCP car park a couple of months back. They stole it from hacking the CAN BUS through the headlamp. The amount of stress these things cause is crazy. There should be a way to disable keyless entry because this is where most of the issues stem from.
There should be a switch you can press on the key fob to turn the key fob off when you get home. So it doesn't give a signal off. Then when you go to use the car again press a button to turn the key fob back on. It's a pretty simple solution
@adaml99a i mean the manufacturers should make it an option. It would stop relay theft. If you could switch the key fob off when you get home. no thief could walk up to your door and pick the signal up to relay to the car.
Maybe if the law was harsher, police did their job and turned up and manufacturers put in better alarms instead of cost cutting there would not be so many thefts. Criminals know the police won’t turn up. They know the owner will get into trouble if they defend themselves with baseball bats It all starts at the law.
The Organised crime aspect of this type of theft should see the courts treating as exactly that in the courts, when/if the cops catch them then it shouldn't just be a case of TWOC, they should be charged as part of an organised crime and given much stiffer sentences that may act as a deterrent rather than just telling them they are a naughty boy and make them pick up litter for a few hours

I have a mk7 fiesta st3 which is keyless but I've got Ghost2 fitted and steering lock and disabled the boot lid and got a key fob blocker box around the key. Am quite confident it ain't getting stolen lol.
Let owners protect themselves without fear of going to prison. Thieves get away with a slap on wrist. I see it everyday at work unfortunately.

If you have Venom snake, leave in the car.
I had an attempted theft on a previous car 5 years ago. The police did not do anything sadly, they just assumed it was some travelers and went on their way. No inspection of the car carried out, no statements taken. I spent the next year always looking over my shoulder when getting in and out of the car, in the end the car had to be sold
Indeed, the "traveller" community enjoy being above the law and taxes. And they use that immunity to full effect and police repeatedly let them do as they please.
"traveler comunity " ))) nice one mate. You made my day ))
Best neighbor ever sacrifice his car to save his neighbor own👍👍
Not really, both ended up damaged. I think I'd prefer my car be stolen than damaged like that. It's a claim either way but if it's stolen it's less hassle and you can change car if you want. If they repair your damaged car you can't change it, it's a hassle, and the car will always be damaged goods in my eyes.
@@pugpete1Agreed. Plus, the insurance company might deny your claim, despite your good intentions.
Guaranteed the Range Rover owner's insurance tried to not cover the claim for damage. They would say he did it deliberately.
A lot of modern cars that come with keyless entry, can usually have it (keyless entry) disabled by certain button combinations either on the remote or in the car. This immediately stops anyone trying to intercept the signal, as there isn’t one. You then don’t need a faraday pouch / box, and you press the button on the remote to unlock the doors. Hardly difficult 🤷♂️
Range Rovers (for example) have had the ability to have it disabled by the owner for a long time, but most obviously don’t do it. I don’t understand why owners don’t simply use this option and remove the threat? Ignorance? Laziness? Arrogance thinking it won’t happen to them maybe?
Yes, an alarm will help, but who looks out the window these days when yet another car alarm goes off? And what are you sposed to do when it does? ... Run out and confront 3-4 tooled up lads with nothing to lose? And in the unlikely event you do give them a kicking, Plod will be around to arrest you, instead of thanking you for doing their job 🤷♂️
People forget. And it's a nuisance to have to press the key combination every time to disable the keyfob.
Probably easier to just drop the fob into a small metal box and close the lid
I don't know why it was not communicated by the police or manufacturer that the keyless function could be disabled one time. It is not a major inconvenience to press a button to unlock a car.
First thing I did when I bought a new car is secure it with my own security. I even removed the osb port
You realise currently Range Rovers keyless entry is so easily beatable that Land Rover won't insure any of their own cars because they are so high risk of theft, but they refuse to fix it
@@deang5622lol @ it's a nuisance. The number of BMW's, range rovers and Audi's that have old fashioned crook locks in them suggests the owners don't know it can be disabled. Pressing a button is far easier than removing a crook lock every time you get in.
There are other ways though, such as making a new key using the VID
Okay so I had my keys in a Faraday pouch which was in the fridge , ghost immobiliser and it had a steering lock yet they still nicked my First RS and I gave the old bill photographic evidence of the muppet that done it yet nothing was done and he still roams the streets filming himself stealing cars. The police do not care. Simple as.
If you had a ghost on it then it wasn't fitted correctly by people who are certified installers. They probably located it in a generic position that the thieves could find easily. Should take at least 3 hours or so to do a proper install not 30 mins .
Auto watch who make them have over 100,000 installs with only a handful being stolen which were either bad installs, car lifted onto low loader or thieves had access to the pin or override card.

@vivabielsamot5828 install was done correctly by a reputable company and wasn't a back alley job. Definitely wasn't a 30 min job I can assure you. More the point of police don't care.
@@connorwaites8125 well it's still unbelievable how it was driven away in my opinion . Did you get a refund from your installer?? A reputable accredited installer will offer a full refund should it be stolen . As far as I'm aware there's only been a total of about 14 thefts out of over 100,000 installs which is an excellent record of 0.01% bearing in mind some of those could have been lifted . I have ghost 2 and S5 tracker which is a live subscription so they can alert me as soon as my car is moved without the fob inside the car. No security is 100% but I see numerous videos on YT of failed attempts to steal with a ghost than ones that have actually been stolen .

Fitted a hidden kill switch to my M2 nearly 7 years ago. I’ve had loads of people try and start it with the keys and failed. Cost me less than £5.
That is *ALL YOU NEED* now, it fools most people that take their gadgets along. They are buying expensive programmers and car theft kits with lockpicking tools and are stumped by a hidden switch. Many are still defeated by removing the fuse for the 12v supply to the OBD2 socket, they plug devices in and there is no power. That is if you have not hidden the socket out of the way.
You can go one further and stick a double pole switch for two circuits to really annoy them. Maybe the fuel pump and something else you choose. Some car alarms have a feature that will allow you to program a button press sequence to start. You have to remember to "press left indicator, press hazard switch, press AC on" before the car will start - but all that can be defeated too.
I did this back in the late 80s when all hot hatch backs were getting stolen. Mine never got stolen hidden kill switch did the trick, definitely work today
ive got a hidden switch in all my cars, wired up so when you open the door if the switch isnt armed it will beep so you cant forget. cost me 20 quid and a couple hours to do the 3
Where did you get fitter for less than £5? Can you give some details please...
@@RedBull.RedBull simply just a switch in the ignition wiring that you can hide somewhere. Mine is easily accessible but no one would know it was there.

I recall a case noted on Blackbelt Barrister where a vehicle fitted with a tracking device was stolen, tracked down by the owner, then reported to Police. Police were not interested.
You can place as much security in the way as you like, but an armed gang will do whatever it takes for you to hand over the keys and the unlocking codes.
During first lockdown I had an RS parked on the drive. Keys in a faraday pouch.
Woke to hear banging thinking it was next door. Son came in and said he could see torchlight around the front door. I looked out the window to see a gang of 4 getting into a black Range Rover.
They had tried to break in by forcing the door jamb. And apparently tried around the back of the house.
God knows what they would have done if they’d got in.
Somehow they were disturbed luckily.
Expensive alarms *DO NOT STOP THEFTS* - they only change the way something is stolen and in most cases create a far more harmful situation and put the owner at *MORE RISK* from attack to get the keys to deactivate the alarm.
They would have attacked you. Always have a walking stick or umbrella at the top of the stairs and by your bed, maybe one of those with a spike on the end by the front door. If anyone did break in and fell backwards down the stairs as a result of you switching the lights on and startling them, they get everything they deserve. A Chief Constable once told listeners on a radio show "dead witnesses can't talk" - he is right.

Watching this in my mid 50’s I remember when in the late 80’s early 90’s we had insanely simplistic anti theft methods costing no more than £50 now that’ll definitely stop theft like this !
We’ve become to tech centric!
Gap insurance
It’s been a god send 3 times now
Assuming you’re talking about a steering wheel lock that’s exactly what Toyota recommend.
Throwing more tech into the mix won’t necessarily solve the issue, they’ll simply learn how to hack that too. We should ditch keyless entry and start buttons, they’re entirely unnecessary.
I used to have a cheap method very cheap infact 😂 take out my bloody fuses for fuel pumps and other stuff 😂😂 simple and effective and I can imagine nowadays would be even more effective if you as an owner knows which fuses to take out for fuel and other electric stuff im guesssing most thieves would not have knowledge or the spare fuses handy in their pocket to plop into ya fuse box and drive away ??? Maybe I’m wrong lol 😂😂😂
@@S1CKB1KEZ They cut through steering wheels to get the locks off.... problem is battery powered tools.

Just disconnect your Battery or remove it altogether at night. When not in use.. Car isn't going anywhere. Done this for years parking my car on my Driveway. Wasting your money on Security devices. If they want it they will get it..
Purely right mate
Try doing this on a modern car and see what happens when you re-connect the battery 💀
As someone who had their car stolen at the end of last year just after Christmas, I now have an alarm system fitted and I have a disklok, wheel clamp and pedal lock. It might sound excessive and long winded but the more things you have, especially with the visual locks, the more of a deterrent it is to the thieves to not even bother trying to take it and honestly it takes seconds to put the physical locks on and off, and would you rather take a few extra seconds before driving your car, or wake up to find you no longer have a car? The police are absolutely useless as well because realistically they already know they’re not gonna find your car so they don’t bother to look for it.
If they want it, they take it ! Alarms are of no use and only aim to slow people down as some will tow or lift the car, but if you are faced with a knife or group of people are you really going to get yourself injured? The steering wheel covers are not that good, neither are wheel clamps as the lock is the weak point. The problem is that as cars become more electronic, that's the weakness. Modules are not all coded to the car and not all data is encrypted between modules, if it was it would stop a lot being stolen. We have gone back to the days of a front door key opening every Ford.
For example, the Range Rover is the easiest to steal as the module that is replaced is in the boot under a plastic cover. People take their own programmed to their own key, get in the car and then take one control module out and put theirs in before driving off. A similar thing happens with ECUs. BMW are terrible, you can get in using tools from an auction site! Once inside it is a case of programming your own key and driving off.
Most will carry and plug in a GPS jammer to defeat that system too. They sell for £20. There is only one system that sends out a VHF/UHF tracker signal, but people have to go out hunting for that using the last known cell site.
In most areas, excluding all the high value stolen to order for gangs and exports, the trend for stolen cars can be worked out from using sites that sell insurance write-offs in some regions! You only have to look at what is being sold most and then similar cars start being stolen to order to repair them. This happens a lot. I have a cut'n'shut and accident repair shop by me that was well known for stealing cars to order for parts they needed.
Most stolen interiors end up on auction sites, most parts end up in breaker yards and scrap yards. Always be suspicious when main dealers have a few months wait for parts, but a scrap yard can get you anything same day!
Years ago it was Rover cars being stolen by reaching under the front wheel and pulling down a connector, we have not moved on much. There are lots of well publicised ways and sites showing all the weaknesses manufacturers are deliberately exposing people to and doing nothing about.
Some things you can do -
1. Relocate the diagnostics socket to somewhere else in the car, just move it out of the way.
2. Remove the fuse that supplies 12v to the OBD socket.
3. Use a RF shielded bag to put your keys in.
4. Have gates that lock, use those retractable posts.
5. Fit floodlights with PIR
6. Fit CCTV and Ring Doorbell - if only they would bring out a 4K one!
7. Don't use a popular company for alarms as where and how they fit them is also over various web sites!
8. Don't rely on just an alarm, use immobiliser techniques such as RFID tags and button press sequences to start etc
9. Use an old Android phone hidden in the car as a tracker - very easy to make yourself.
10. Don't fight gangs of armed people as a car can be replaced...
The number of cars I see recovered with expensive alarms is incredible, they don't do much to protect against the criminal gangs.
@@Bond2025this looks like an AI generated repose 😂 but clearly you aren’t familiar with Pandora Car alarms. It’s not just an alarm, it’s an immobiliser and tracker. Even if cables are cut and the Pandora system was completely removed, the vehicle will STILL be completely immobilised
@@Bond2025I have a Pandora Storm Plus Immobiliser, with anti-hijack and tracker. They’re not stealing the car. If they pull me out of the car and take my keys, without the tag it will come to a controlled stop down the road. If they get the tag, I just need to ring a number off any phone and boom, engine stopped and they can’t start it. It also has two immobilisers, they will have to be able to find both. Even then, if they are ripped out, the car still won’t start.
does sound excessive to me mate.. the scumbags that will steal someones pride and joy will do anything it takes so if your car looks like it would take to much effort then hopefully they will bugger off... Really hope it never happens to you again! wish it never happened to anyone but with the world today its only going to get worse.
They just come into your house now for the keys!!

Can’t they just post a police unit at the port entrance to stop these thieves because if 20 cars turn up at 3 am in the morning worth over a million pounds that’s a bit suspicious and it don’t take a bright spark to figure that out, the security guard at the port who is just letting all these cars in has to be involved somehow

The insurance companies need to start recognising these additional security systems, I've got a Ghost 2 system fitted to my car and use a Faraday box to store my keys however when I did my insurance renewal I got the feeling the insurance companies weren't interested in the extra security installed in the car to potentially give a premium reduction.
they wot be -they are completely corrupt and de regulated now so have no care
i have 1100 quad worth of locks on my motorbike and 2 of them are some of the best in the world and all the locks are recognised by insurance and no discount lol.
I recently phoned round for insurance quotes for my car and they asked if it had a tracker fitted, i replied it didn't have one but if it would reduce the premium i would consider getting one fitted. The rep said it would reduce the premium by a good amount. I asked which one they recommended. She advised a Scorpion (can't remember which model) that was going to cost 400 quid to get fitted. She said it would reduce my premium by £52 per year so just to recoup the cost of the tracker i would need to keep the car 8 years and that doesn't include the monthly subscription. No thanks
I remember when my car was stolen in a 5 star hotel in birmingham one night. never seen again. :'(
All crime is out of control in the UK.
Thatcham needs to be looked at by the government but alll they are interested in is making more money at the consumers misery disgusting is what it is 😢but that’s the world we live in
Not sure how it's Thatchams fault? Maybe if Manufacturers cheaping out on the security technology.
its all a con, even most motorcycle security is utter shite. dealers bang on about how good certain locks are when in reality a lump hammer and a pair of bolt cutters is all you need to cut or smash the lock and steal an expensive motorbike. good security exists but it costs hundreds and dealers wont have it in the showroom because no one will buy it.
Very true
I got one of these installed my Abarth 595 back in the day. (Some people would say overkill but hey pride and joy eh) even got it done at the location you filmed the interview with pandora 😂 Device worked like a charm. I've since sold the car but anyone on the fence about this system don't be it's a good system, gives you peace of mind that's for sure when youre away from your car. What's cool is if you wear that tag on your person while driving and someone dudes come take you from the car they'll only get so far as the system will detect the tag is missing, count down and immobilise the car. Really great stuff 👏👏👏
RFID proximity tags are very basic and can be cloned from a distance using very cheap tools..
I think the onus is on car manufacturers to provide the correct level of security. I feel terrible for those car owners in this video. But also a review of the minimum sentence that the court gives is appalling and needs to seriously change.
That's one of the main problems. It pays to steal expensive cars. If the thieves got very long sentences, they would definitely think again. It really is a serious business these days. Also, I'm sure that the manufacturers are partly to blame.
If every car model from a manufacturer had the same security it wouldn't be that secure, thieves would find a way around it as they would all be installed the same. If you fit your own/get your own fitted, you can hide it somewhere different and make it harder to get around, and they won't know what's making it secure. Just disable keyless entry, it's useless anyway, check which fuse from the fusebox to pull out or disable it in the menu if you can, and stick your keys in a tin box at night.
What's worse, especially with modified cars, is the quality of the insurance underwriters on offer. we spend ages shopping around for the best price when we should be checking the reviews of the underwriters.
Unfortunately, we have lost control of our borders, our country, and our justice system. This situation is only going to be worse over time.
Maybe old-school steering locks and wheel clamps are not a bad shout, especially if you're not using your car for a period of time
notice that most of the people who stole the cars were white?
You are spot on. We have no deterrent and the country gets one step closer to complete anarchy everyday.
When I bought my car in 2019 I on purpose bought one that didn't have keyless start due to security risks.
old school security is the best especially if its quality made stuff. its the same problem in the motorcycle community/industry. people bang on about there fancy tracker and alarm but they have no idea that professional thieves can jam a tracker or they just rip it out or park the bike somewhere where the tracker signal cuts out. and for alarms well no one cares and most of them are terrible quality.
Ghost in the car - appropirate protection inside the house for the keys and security on the property. Its a tough job to steal then :)
Hy guys. It’s a very good video that you did on this car security issue. I have one Pandora installed on my x5 for the past 2 years and I’m definitely recommending one. Especially the full Pandora with gps.
I’ll make a video in the next month about this. But until then, very very good advice and content you gave. And I like that Officer owner really gets involved in this.
Once again well done.
The Halfords pouch also works really well to protect your key signal. I placed my spare key inside it and left it in the car. I then locked the car using my usual key with no issues, if there was any signal leak from the pouch then the car would have sensed it and it would not have locked.
The answer is easy. Car manufacturers have no interest in making cars harder to steal, and here is why...
You buy a new car, your car is stolen, insurance pays out, you buy another car, thus raising the sales. It really is that simple, greed on the thieves part and greed on the car company's part.
Why not stop selling the gadgets that allow these people stealing your car. It seams to me the car industry has gone back to the 80s where a capri key will get you into a cortina
Why would you want to use a Capri key to get into a Cortina? That seems backwards. A 2.8L V8 Capri is awesome! 😜
they actually caught and locked up the criminals back then and it stopped for a while until now
@@Johny40Se7en thing is during the 80s it was common knowledge however I locked my keys in my Capri and a guy on the training scheme I was on had a Cortina in the car park he didn’t believe me until we went out to the car park and showed him. He was completely stunned
It’s called china
The Police have abdicated so many responsibilities.
They rarely patrol.
Their clear up rate is a joke.
They need to take a long hard look at their actions.
It’s so simple, 1st of all get yourself a really crappy job that pays fuck all then you won’t be able to afford a nice car and it won’t get stolen that’s my perfect plan
Stay on the dole and don't have a car
Editor had a fun time making this, I can tell. Great job, enough comedy in between the somber themes.
And it’s scumbags like this why insurance prices are going up
Equally it is the people who are financing cars they can't afford to buy. Greater number of higher value vehicles on the road = greater chance of it being stolen / written off thus increasing the premiums.
All my cars are old, and undesirable, so why would my insurance go up? They aren't targeting 25 year old Ford Mondeos.
A simple hidden inhibit circuit consisting of a 4 pin relay,micro push switch,fuse holder and piece of wire,costing pennies and taking about 30 minutes to fit puts an end to all that.I have fitted loads for various customers. Failure to activate the switch while cranking kills power to the vehicles can/lin/van/network rendering the vehicle for all intents and purposes,dead until a hidden fuse is replaced.
Yes, exactly, and that is what some of these so-called sophisticated £1500+ immobilisers really are when you examine them!
If only people knew.
Why the custom cannot stop it without papers ???
I had a Faraday bag and while it worked to start with, it wore out and stopped working. While my keyless entry key goes to sleep after 40 seconds,I switched keyless entry off on the car. Paranoid? Maybe, but if that keeps the car on the drive, paranoia helps me sleep at night (there have been thieves in this area trying to steal cars via keyless entry scanners)
Use austere methods on car thieves:
1)Location trackers
2)Microchip implants
3)Lie detector tests
4)Hard labour
Worse case scenario, make repeat offenders participate in a new game show called Deff Race 2000!
What's wrong with having, IDK, say a "key" unique to your particular car that you PHYSICALLY slot into the dashboard somewhere, then turn to start a car? Coupled with that, a small chip built in with a unique code, JUST IN CASE.
Funny how car thefs were at it's lowest around mid 00's and has only gone up (skyrocketed at points) thereafter.
A word to car manufacturers. *STOP USING RFID KEYLESS SYSTEMS!*
A word to ignorant rich people: *STOP BUYING CARS WITH RFID KEYLESS SYSTEMS!*
Coupled with that, enter a 4/6 digit PIN code on the touch screen to unlock the E-brake, on first drive.
@@tabs818 Or just use a fecking key.
@@ParallelSyntax keys can be stolen, then the car is as good as gone. Peace out
@@tabs818 Lol ok kid.
UK police are a joke, too busy catching uninsured drivers, no tax, speed cameras everywhere....
When your car gets stolen whilst they will take your details, they won't proactively attempt to recover the car or find the thief: even when you tell them your vehicle is tracked and it is currently traveling on this road or that etc they tell you they don't have the resources. The worst thing I've been told by them is "claim from your insurance". Absolute joke since claiming means higher insurance premiums the following year. The thief gets your car and all the victim gets is a hefty bill.
Now, I have been told by some police officers that they indeed want to tackle crime proactively but their senior management won't allow them to do so due to budget constraints. I get this, but this information is only conveyed by some officers, the rest just fob you off with no explanation (I call these police OSSIFERS on power trips).
Things like this are why something as basic as a taser should be legal in the UK
but think of the immigrants!
Maybe because we know longer have an effective policing system or a government that gives a toss! in my opinion.
Another issue is those with undesirable cars that are much less likely to be stolen are having their insurance premium increased extortionately to subsidise the owners of cars that are being stolen, what they should do is hammer the high end cars so they become too expensive to insure, with less sales the premium brands will need to step up their car security measures, being the owner of a budget car and seeing my insurance increase by 50% isn't fair, now my neighbour has lost to theft 3 cars, his insurance has also gone up 50% plus the loss of one year no claims, he pays £200 more per year than i,and his car is worth three times mine 😡 ive not had a claim for over 30 yesrs, scandalous situation
Keyless entry might be a nice to have, but do you really need it. Manufacturers should give people the option of disabling it.
Whats an alarm going to do against a guy rushing at you with a machete demanding the car key while your family is behind you?
Want too stop cars being stolen.......make it more of a serious crime and give theives a far more severe penalties, stop the sales of the devices that aid car theft and allow members of the public too defend their property or possessions without penalty.
Perhaps with our impending islamic take over, hands will be removed for theft. That would stop them.
"A man had his hand cut off after being attacked with his own machete by angry vigilantes, according to locals. A 19-year-old man was found with “life-changing injuries” after it was alleged a machete was used to strike his hand off at the wrist in Golding Street, Whitechapel at 5.45pm on Sunday." Sept 2021.
I’ve had a camper van stolen never seen again then a motorhome burnt out outside my house because they couldn’t get it away as I had a hidden cut off switch.Police didn’t even come out gave me a crime number I’ve give up on motorhomes for now
So the bloke decided to take a machete but then when someone’s alerted he runs off? I love to see when people with the weapon are the ones who run
Im surprised the insurance industry hasn't priced keyless entry out of existence.
As far as i can tell, insuring a £100k Range Rover is almost guaranteed to result in a loss.
Perhaps they want us all to own keyless entry vehicles, until continuous replacements at less than the market value mean we can't afford any car any more. Only the rich will own cars, and the plebs will all be forced to ride bikes. Net zero target achieved
It's simpler. In the garage, they removed my obd and installed some round socket. All wiring from the round socket is white wires and give me an adaptor to convert round socket to normal obd for diagnostic. They say all connections are different and don't have the same pattern for different customer
I did this, I give the garage the adaptor when I go in every year for servicing etc.
Car theft is getting out of control. So let's post a video on UA-cam to show the public just how it's done so they can steal cars too.
One of the biggest issues is the penalty for auto theft in the UK. They are not bothered if they get caught, they are out in no time.
Thank you this is what I needed to see I have been contemplating one for a good few months was worried about it affecting my warranty
What I learned here is my risk is already reduced by 98% simply by driving a car that doesn't have keyless entry. Who on earth thought that a key that constantly broadcasted it's code would ever be a good idea anyway?
Keys do not constantly broadcast. You can still have a car without keyless entry stolen within seconds depending on the model. Once access is gained, it is only a matter of plugging something in and coding a new key to use. With some videos I have watched, it is done within a minute.
Non-keyless is not a guarantee of being safer.
@@Bond2025Probably not literally constantly, but certainly frequently, or these systems wouldn't work - neither would the methods to intercept these signals thieves often use to get into vehicles.
A thief can get into a keyed vehicle, obviously, but it's far harder to do without somehow damaging the vehicle. Said damage makes it more obvious that it's nicked, and hurts resell values..... From the thief's perspective, keyless is the better option.
The stats speak for themselves, the vast majority of cars stolen now are keyless...
Someone needs to tell pandora security through obscurity IS NOT security. It doesn't matter if they install stuff differently in different cars, a determined thief will have the means to find it. That aside, a wireless system using what is clearly some form of short range RF transmission to enable/disable the module is susceptible to the usual RF attacks. So, while security may be improved, inherent flaws exist that can be exploited.
UK has become the worst country.
I've been offered a job that was +2000€ more than my current job (6800€ currently) and i refused because of these sht !
My mental health easily costs AT LEAST that difference. So i balanced out and refused !
Yeah I'm sure it's unrelated to the lower punishment for crimes, less policing cause there too busy investing mean internet comments and the fact if you try n stop thieves your more likely to get prison time then they are
Got a steering lock, Ghost II immobilizer and keep the keys in a RFID Box/pouch.
Will do me.
I rejected a very nice car because the previous owner had foolishly specified the KESSY keyless entry system. Keyless entry is a pointless, vanity gizmo.
Pandora mini on my golf r 👌🏻❤️ so far so good 2yrs in.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we had some kind of response force to track down and arrest , then jail these people !?!? Oh well
I blame government funding for the police. I applaud the police's work especially as i work with them in my ed department. Sadly too much call outs most due to stupidity of the public wbich is why i hope more officers are employed
I have a faraday pouch. Yes, they do initially work, but.... after a while. Seemingly the cease to stop the signal going through. So I still use my pouch, but.... I have ADDED extra covering inside of my pouch. Simple tin foil. That foil that is used in the kitchen, that covers the turkey, meat, chicken when being roasted. All it is doing is ADDING extra layers to stop the signal. Plus I have added a Ghost 2 System. The more difficult for the thief, the better you can sleep at night. The little bit EXTRA spend on your vehicle, IS worth it. A little extra spend, SAVES the payment for a REPLACEMENT vehicle. Well worth it.
My mk3 rs was stolen just before Christmas. Had it from new. Was absolutely gutted to see it driving past my window. The police weren’t interested.
Actually just make it legal to have firearms on one's own property for property defence, like most other countries in the world. Enough is enough.
Ram posts on driveways is really good, got a couple on my drive.
I wanted to ask for clarification on the laws regarding car lighting. I think I understand the dos and don'ts of exterior lighting, but are there any restrictions on changing the inside light bulbs for fun colours? Like if I wanted to change my map light bulbs for a blue or a red would that be a problem?
Brilliant channel, keep it up, so informative. 👍
Thank you so much. That is very kind.
“Here’s why”: STOP GIVING PEOPLE CRIME NUMBERS, MAKING THEM STATISTICS AND THE POLICE DO SQUARE ROOT OF JACK ABOUT IT. ACTUALLY IMPOSE STRONGER SENTENCES AND BE AN EFFECTIVE DETERRENT. HOW ABOUT THIS?! SO OWNERS DON’T HAVE TO TAKE MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS!!!!
If you can manage without a car you can save yourself a world of stress.
how to deal with it? own a 24 inch braker bar and have a motion sersor lights with a sound signal option, and as for the car instal a kill switch.
Don't get a new car, get a crappy old one that only uses a normal key, not a IOT device on wheels that is easy to hack. With these anti steal devices that show you where your car is going after it has been stolen has already failed in it's job, what's the point it's already stolen, who cares about tracking a stolen vehicle, it's your own fault for wanting a shinny push button start car that has an infotainment system that will make the car worthless in less than 10 years time because the apps don't work and is also fully hackable.
It's wild to me that brands are still offering keyless entry as a standard on new cars in light of how easy they are to steal.
Is it really when People will still buy despite that fact? The more cars that get stolen the customers will still buy new cars so the manufacturers will still keep making money.
Then this is where insurance companies should get involved and say that they will refuse to insure any new cars with keyless entry/start fitted. Some companies do seem to be starting to do this. I saw a video on here a few weeks ago regarding Range Rover and them having their own insurance. The guy in the video tried to get a quote and they didn't want to know. When Range Rover won't insure their own cars that speaks volumes!
@Quickb3n ... You've seen the adverts from the latest models, key-less entry or with your mobile phone..... 🤯💣💨 How dumb are people getting ? Not even 2 brain cells between them....... Good times for the tea leafs & insurance companies! 💥
Had a classic Japanese vehicle, I’d pull one of the leads off the spark plugs, caught me out a couple times myself wondering why the old bastard wouldn’t start
Some of these cars are stolen quicker than cars in the 70s when security hadn’t even been thought of. In one youthful incident with the owner’s full consent and participation, we unlocked, started and drove a 1974 Toyota. With a lolly stick. It seems to be a bit more expensive for organised criminals today, but a similar principle
1:51 - What exactly does the tag do? Surely if they can do the relay attack on keyless entry/start, then surely they can do the same for the tag?
They can’t. The tag basically uses military level encryption which is about 128bit if I remember where as your standard car alarm/keys use about an 8bit signal that is easily hackable
@@TimmyTheSnail But that's not how a relay attack works - nothing is 'hacked'. The relay attack just reads the key signal and repeats it close to the car to trick the car into thinking the key is closer to it. It doesn't care about the encryption. If their tag works in a similar way (proximity to the car), then surely the relay attack is possible too? They really didn't explain it so I'm sceptical.
@@hippopotamus86 that’s still classed as it being hacked. It’s taking the signal and cloning it essentially, by which they have to be able to copy the signal in the first place. The Pandora tag cannot be duplicated like that. Trust me, I literally have the system fitted to my car
@@TimmyTheSnail ... I just wanted to know how it protects from it. It's apparently just a bluetooth fob that the Pandora system detects when it's near the car and then allows your main car fob to unlock the car. Sure I guess it protects from traditional relay theft, but it may well be possible to spoof the fob with another form of attack but they're vague on that.
@@TimmyTheSnail OH DEAR *military grade* means absolutely nothing! It is a misleading advertising term used to make people think it is something better or special when it is not, it uses a standard well known encryption method.
128Bit is hardly sophisticated.
To help avoid being scammed, don't believe advertising without checking it out. Adverts are written a certain way to sell products.
If it’s electronic it’s DOOMED TO FAIL, and this Officer appears dedicated, helpfully, and informative (he is the exception). In short, the Police don’t give a sh*t………
I'm sure i saw that stickered up Police car here in the South West a few days ago ... had to do a double glance at it
Should be allowed to protect against home invasion. Gardens, drives, homes. Legally allowed to defend your home and property.
If they want it, it'll be taken. They dragged my neighbours' BMW down the road behind a towtruck, handbrake still locked on, in broad daylight.
It's never been recovered
Who'd of thaught importing 1000s of foreign criminals with ready made markets abroad would lead to higher car theft 😂
Unfortunately, our matriarchal society, in particular its justice system thinks that they're just naughty infants who can be rehabilitated by increasing the amount of kindness shown towards them.
I have a 2021 mercedes. If you double tab the lock button it turns the key off stopping anyone stealing your car.
@GuidedArrow.... Sorry to burst your bubble but anyone with a brain cells could take it EVEN WITH THAT FUNCTION... they still do @7 mins ..... it's still got wireless signals/broadcasts. Just hack in to gain entry & bingo it theirs! Get use to it & get rid of the car & get a banger kit it out... much safer.
After tracking my vehicle would the police bother coming to assist?
No
It's getting out of control because the system is soft and does not have harsh punishment
As long as the normies keep voting for the uniparty, things will stay like this.
Criminals rent vehicles to learn flaws.. we don't let you film us because we do things different.. but what stops the criminals getting a few of these installed and learning the flaws there...
Whatever you say.. The crime rate increases only due to lack of effectiveness of policing systems
I urge everyone to take the law into yournown hands and gather some defense items take care
They steal it because it is worth the risk. Stronger laws, better police work and more right to civilians will help.
And the worst thing is when your car does get stolen is that when u call the police thay don’t turn up and if thay ever turn up all thay give u is a crime number that means nothing to a criminal
Exactly, i reported this stolen van CN69NBX to Surrey police, parked in my street. It was taken by the thief's days later, due to the slow reactions of them.
Waste of time and effort reporting it
unless you work for them or are someone that can cause a problem - then they're out in no time.
To have the best security all you have to do is tell the manufacturers that they have to replace any car that has it's factory fitted alarms bypassed. They would either invest in proper security systems or would have to pull out of that countries market.
ALL WELL AND GOOD BUT THE LAWS STOP PEOPLE ARMING THEMSELVES YET HERE WE ARE SEEING CRIMINALS ARMEND NOT EXACTLY A FARE DEAL AY?.
The sad thing is our insurance premiums go up because of the amount of theft, especially so in high ticket items stolen to order.
So this is basically an advert for Pandora Alarms using shock marketing.
And what do you mean, "get and alarm".?
So, we have to get another alarm for the cars factory fitted alarm?
My 22 Toyota RAV4 was stolen from Stratford international NCP car park a couple of months back. They stole it from hacking the CAN BUS through the headlamp. The amount of stress these things cause is crazy. There should be a way to disable keyless entry because this is where most of the issues stem from.
There should be a switch you can press on the key fob to turn the key fob off when you get home. So it doesn't give a signal off. Then when you go to use the car again press a button to turn the key fob back on. It's a pretty simple solution
@@Lee-fs1nw that’s good to know. I now have 23 Sportage. I don’t think there is an option for that, sadly.
@adaml99a i mean the manufacturers should make it an option. It would stop relay theft. If you could switch the key fob off when you get home. no thief could walk up to your door and pick the signal up to relay to the car.
It's like going back to old days hot wiring a car but the modern way. Probably go back to the old Steering and gear stick lock is better.
@@Lee-fs1nw Some keyless key fobs have a motion switch, when the key is motionless for a short period it kills the signal transmission.
fuelled we're in uk, gcm.
Maybe if the law was harsher, police did their job and turned up and manufacturers put in better alarms instead of cost cutting there would not be so many thefts. Criminals know the police won’t turn up. They know the owner will get into trouble if they defend themselves with baseball bats It all starts at the law.
If you’ve got a decent motor….
Go get a Clifford concept system fitted.
The Organised crime aspect of this type of theft should see the courts treating as exactly that in the courts, when/if the cops catch them then it shouldn't just be a case of TWOC, they should be charged as part of an organised crime and given much stiffer sentences that may act as a deterrent rather than just telling them they are a naughty boy and make them pick up litter for a few hours

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
