I had to be careful making this video not showing to much showing how to unlock the door. I already removed the rod but expecting on making a video on how to remove etc. A lot of people won't like this but I'm just trying to inform others you'll thank me later.
Will you do a tutorial on how to remove that rod? That's pretty disturbing to see that even though my car starts inside but if I'm in another city I don't want to run into this problem
Well, my Classic '70 Challenger Convertible had 5 theft attempts! But i rigged her so only I knew how to start her. However, someone had bn watchn me bc 1 nite, they too, climbed thru the passenger side, got the steering wheel lock (that i rigged, too) OFF, but then the alarm sounded & he ran out the driver's side. I finally had 2 take her back home & stored her @ my Sister's in the backwoods. 😥 smdh...when u got somethin nice, EVERYBODY WANTS 2 STEAL IT FROM YOU. 😬
My boyfriend has a Dodge Charger and has been broken into 3x already, and we couldn't figure out how it happened given that it needs a key to open. This video was the first to pop up when I searched for answers, and we went back to look at the keyhole and we saw it!! The keyhole is jacked up and it has for sure been tampered with. Thank you so much for doing this video for bringing awareness to how easy it is to get your Dodge Charger broken into. We were thinking of doing a steak-out, installing go-pro cameras, and getting an entirely new key to avoid future discrepancies. Something that would have caused us hundreds of dollars can possibly cause us a couple hundred now. Thanks again! Can't thank you enough.
My 2014 was broken into last night. I do not see a notch from a screw driver, but the door had been locked. I came across this rather terrifying video researching dodge charger alarms, so I contacted Dodge directly. They claimed to have never heard of this before. I submitted a complaint. I believe the thief was searching for cash which there was none, and then put the screw driver into my 300 dollar tire.
My niece just locked her keys in her trunk...again. Trying to see how to get them out without spending a lot of money or breaking something. Thanks for the tips.
I have a 2007 charger and somebody broke into it using something. I think they had a key device that pops the lock because my key hole looks normal. But I didn't even know they had broken into it until I looked for my registration and insurance stuff. They took that and my emergency car bag I had in my trunk. I don't keep any important things in my car now. Everytime I get out I take it with me.
Thank you soo much I used your method after ignoring the low key fob battery sign and locked my keys I truly appreciate you women friendly 4sure 😢sucks how easy it is to break in though
I have a 2014 charger and somebody tried breaking into it by trying to force my front passenger window down with sometype of tool. It didnt work but did leave cracks in my window smh. I Ieft some jordans on the floor board by accident, im guessing thats what they wanted.
They got in through the vertical bar on the window. What made me notice that the car was broken into immediately after coming home from a trip was that the remote start wasn’t working and the battery had been drained. Not sure why that was the case. So when I got to the door and opened it, I noticed that the interior edges of the door panel (at the top where the window slides up and down) was peeled/curled up on both the front drivers and passenger side windows. It’s not evident that they took anything. I got in the trunk and it looks like some stuff was peeled back on edges where the sub is. Not sure what to make of it or how to fix the outside of my door, or the insides of doors by the windows, but it doesn’t appear that they got anything. What do you think? Quick recap: they basically jammed something in the top corner of the window frame assembly on the car door. Somehow they were able to pop the door open this way and it left my car drained. Not sure if they were trying to steal the car or what, but I need to find out how to prevent it.
My 2007 Charger RT was broke into at a Dodge Dealer and they stole my never on the ground (4) tires while it was sitting out side at night. The Dealer claims they used (SLIM JIMS) to get into my car. No physical damage to my car just stole my tires (2) in the backseat and (2) in the trunk. My question is: Can they use (SLIM JIMS) to open doors on these newer cars? Great video using the screw driver. It does destroy the lock and that can get expressive. Thank you for showing your video. Keep up doing what you do.
Do you have a video or can make a video of the removal of the inside door panel and assembly. Man that is jacked up now I'm going to have to take my firearm out of the car until I get this fixed.
Your and red charger projects inspired me What do you think gonna go 15' charger AWD Procharged. Hellcat Package White, black (rims rear spoiler) red (interior, front rear splitters, side skirts) What do you think? AWD Hellcat
Good vid, somebody did this to me back in 2009 on my 07 magnum. The only way I knew something was wrong was by my amp not clicking on when I cycled the key. They went under the door handle and the key hole. Been hesitant on getting another dodge.
Yes, my 20016 Challenger was broken into through the window. They slim homes it I believe. When I drive 80/85 it whistles through the window where they did it and there was scratch marks left on the window tint.
Someone just broke into my My husbands car this morning or last night. He has a 2014 Dodge charger they got in through the keyhole. Took all his tools and valuables.
Wish I would have known this before I bought mine. Dealership screwed me because I was supposed to get an alarm with the deal I got, but they gave me some bs alarm that was a joke. So I just paid 600 to get upgraded alarm because someone tried to break in last week but didnt get in. They wrecked the keyhole and I had it taken out by a friend. Now no one can get in
Thanks for this video and in regards to all the commenters pissed off about you “showing everyone how to break into Dodge Chargers” - they don’t understand that the street already knows this since 2010 like you said. I have a 2011 charger my car has been broken in through the keyhole 4 Times, twice at the same movie theater and once at the gym in the middle of the day on a Sunday. They were able to do it within the hour I was in the gym. So props for raisin awareness
Same thing happened with my fathers dodge magnum they broke in thru the handle alarm did not go off they stole his TVs subs and amps nobody seen or heard anything cause how the break in wasn't nosy so good video bro cause me nor my father knew how easy it was for dodge to get broken into before he got his
My car was just broke into but they didn't know what they were doing broke the door handle didn't get in so busted my window apparently the car didn't have an alarm or it was disabled. But I'm about to install a viper alarm,
They stole my Dodge charger while I was a sleep after I got of work. They stole my car in front my my home, the only place I feel safe. There was no glass broken anywhere. All my clothes were on the side of the road cuz they threw it out. I’m almost positive that’s how they did it because I locked my door and my key fob was in my room.
Cool Vid Man : I've seen how people get into cars using a battery powered device that hacks the electric door locks on most cars but I didn't know about the Screwdriver trick. Are any other makes vulnerable to the screwdriver or just the Dodges ?
So you have a Charger without the security package apparently. Tried opening my door after locking the car from the outside and horn and lights went off instantly as expected.
Hi thanks for sharing this. My charger was broken into last night. They just took everything out of the glove compartment and armrest and tossed it on the floor and on the seats. No windows were broken. I’m wondering how come my alarm didn’t go off though.
UA-camN' on a Budget you know what's crazy homie. This happened to me in February. Saw this video and was like i need to block this key hole but what happens when the battery died. BUT... B A M N I T!... LAST NIGHT THEY DID IT AGAIN! So pissed
I have a different problem. I have a 2010 Charger. It has a regular key hole in the door and the trunk but there is no key for those key holes. I only have the key fob. If my battery goes dead, I can't get into the car.
Is there another way to prevent the car door from being opened? Like an external/3rd party lock? Disabling the wire is not prefered because it has to be reconnected when you sell the vehicle, and requires you to wire up some jumper cables to the outside of the vehicle incase the battery dies rendering the keyless entry useless.
Well damn. Someone either tried to break into my car right in front of my house, or they did it when I went one county over to the mall. They messed up my key lock, but I first noticed it when I lifted the handle because the damn thing felt like it was about to fall off. Joke was on them though if they did get in because I do not leave any valuables in the car. My 2012 Charger is an SE. My car doesn’t even have Bluetooth, no fancy speakers or touch screen systems. Nothing. 😂 I bet they were disappointed to find empty laundromat cards, and a bunch of my hospital work shoes.
the trunk access button is still disabled. With some simple hardware from home depot you can lock the back seats from folding down too. If you must leave valuables in the car, leave them in the trunk.
Just happened to me today..smh I have a 2019..I dont keep anything valuable in my car and they still did it..they didn't get all the way in..just messed up the key hole and handle
I have a 2013 dodge CHARGER RT and they just broke into my car outside my local gym and I’m currently waiting on the cops to show up to Make a police report. And they did it the exact same way you just demonstrated because they didn’t break a window or nothing. They got in and took all my money I had.
Yeah I just tried this with 4 different screw drivers. Unless your willing to do permanent damage were all fine. I couldn't get mine open and if you looked at his key hole you can tell it looks like a ran threw stripper. I had to use the old school wire hangar trick to get my srt opened. Its not that easy guys calm down.
I had to be careful making this video not showing to much showing how to unlock the door. I already removed the rod but expecting on making a video on how to remove etc. A lot of people won't like this but I'm just trying to inform others you'll thank me later.
UA-camN' on a Budget is that the original interior?
Thomas Hinojoza No I had them redone
UA-camN' on a Budget how much was it? I have a 2017 base model and seat covers aren't all that great lol
Nvm, didn't see you had a video for it.
UA-camN' on a Budget what about alarm going off????? If door is opened while locked the alarm will go off.
Thank you for this. My wife's charger got broken into last night and we were wondering how they did it without damaging anything.
i had a 2010 broken into within 2 weeks. when i bought my 2014, I had the dealer install a passenger side door handle w/o keyhole on the driver side.
Will you do a tutorial on how to remove that rod? That's pretty disturbing to see that even though my car starts inside but if I'm in another city I don't want to run into this problem

Wow! This is also good if you left the keys inside..Thank you for the video! I have a Dodge Charger SXT
I have the 2014 Durango hemi and the charger 20009 sxt which I can’t get into because my alarm was going off all night. I will be using my flat head.
True
I left my key in the car and for some reason it allowed to lock with key inside
How?!?!?! I’ve tried multiple times and even tried to manually locc the car (pushing the rods) and it pushes them bacc up
I’m having that issue now
Battery died likely…?

Thanks for the new tires and rims homie, you a real one.
fuck....that's all I can say, but thanks for sharing the video. Why didn't the alarm go off?

Now here we are, all dodge car owners.. panicking lmao.

Wow. Good thing mines is always inside a garage lol
Car thieves-" this dude spitting 🔥

hawgseven wait... a Rallye V6? Supercharged? How?
he had to say it supercharged lol
Here's a challenge for you. Come up with a video demonstrating some ideas on preventing a break-in.
BotMaker will do great idea 💡
He's incapable. He's black incase you didn't notice.
...it's been seven years now, were is your video? 🤔
My 2014 was broken into last night. I do not see a notch from a screw driver, but the door had been locked.

My charger just got broken into , but question does the alarm goes on still even if they break threw the cylinder door lock?
The train horn is a awesome idea, lol. Could you do a vid on doing that? Hopefully for someone with limited mechanical experience? Thanks
Exactly what did you do. My charger of all these years decided it wanted to lock my keys. Inside
Looking into getting a viper alarm system installed. They should be some help right?
My niece just locked her keys in her trunk...again. Trying to see how to get them out without spending a lot of money or breaking something. Thanks for the tips.

No alarm going Off?
Not sure why his alarm didn't go off, I guess its supposed to.
jospeh Junior no bc it thinks it's the key
I have a 2014 charger and somebody tried breaking into it by trying to force my front passenger window down with sometype of tool. It didnt work but did leave cracks in my window smh. I Ieft some jordans on the floor board by accident, im guessing thats what they wanted.

This actually worked my key fob died and I couldn’t get in thank you so much from the bottom of my heart
Why break in to your own car lol you get an actual key and the battery is easier than replacing anything you might damage if you broke something lol
@@lesm3652 😂😂😂😂
How did you get your red interior?
My 2007 Charger RT was broke into at a Dodge Dealer and they stole my never on the ground (4) tires while it was sitting out side at night. The Dealer claims they used (SLIM JIMS) to get into my car. No physical damage to my car just stole my tires (2) in the backseat and (2) in the trunk. My question is: Can they use (SLIM JIMS) to open doors on these newer cars?

I had mine broken into the same way. The alarm system didn't matter they still were able to get in and steal several personal items.
Valuable info for us Charger owners. Thank yo for showing so we know not to leave valuables in the car. Mine is a 2016. What year is yous?
Papa Jack no problem check this out as well ua-cam.com/video/veq3yWa0hWg/v-deo.html

Seriously, how much would it cost dodge to have competent security system?
This is insane, pay all that money for crappy security
Great vid!!! Where did you buy the gloss black door handle covers?
LJJ r. Look at the link in description on this video ua-cam.com/video/veq3yWa0hWg/v-deo.html it has everything there. 👍🏾
Good vid, somebody did this to me back in 2009 on my 07 magnum. The only way I knew something was wrong was by my amp not clicking on when I cycled the key. They went under the door handle and the key hole. Been hesitant on getting another dodge.
Wow that’s very helpful
My man at it again with a great video. When you gonna let me test drive that I'm only 18 but I can still show you how to drive the hell out of it
Yes, my 20016 Challenger was broken into through the window. They slim homes it I believe. When I drive 80/85 it whistles through the window where they did it and there was scratch marks left on the window tint.
Someone just broke into my My husbands car this morning or last night. He has a 2014 Dodge charger they got in through the keyhole. Took all his tools and valuables.
Sad to say but the Chevy Tahoe is the same way.. my truck been broke into twice and I was pissed!!!😡
Flip Hernandez damn really we pay to much money for all that
Wish I would have known this before I bought mine. Dealership screwed me because I was supposed to get an alarm with the deal I got, but they gave me some bs alarm that was a joke.

Do the 06-08 model have the same issues or are they harder? Have the 08 just curious thanks for the video
Yup I lost my 2020 wide body the same way.
So the alarm don’t go off soon as you unlock the door?
Thanks for the vid
If the car is locked, will the alarm go off?
If they're unlocking the door, I think not
Mine was still going off when I found it.
Mine didnt
Nope didn't trigger my alarm just happened to me today
Got me too! I keep mine in the garage now but I’m selling mine. I will never buy another charger
Thanks for this video and in regards to all the commenters pissed off about you “showing everyone how to break into Dodge Chargers” - they don’t understand that the street already knows this since 2010 like you said.

Same thing happened with my fathers dodge magnum they broke in thru the handle alarm did not go off they stole his TVs subs and amps nobody seen or heard anything cause how the break in wasn't nosy so good video bro cause me nor my father knew how easy it was for dodge to get broken into before he got his
My car was just broke into but they didn't know what they were doing broke the door handle didn't get in so busted my window apparently the car didn't have an alarm or it was disabled. But I'm about to install a viper alarm,
I'm looking into a viper alarm right now
Locks keep out honest people. If they want in they will bust the window.
Anybody know fast and easy way without breaking anything? My nephew lost his keys on the beach like a dummie
Mines got broken into lastnight. I have a 2019 charger. They messed up my door handle. They took a pair of shoes and a hoodie.
very informative ...very good idea u had ...thanks for sharing
FP2000 stay posted will be uploading a video on how to prevent it soon
They stole my Dodge charger while I was a sleep after I got of work. They stole my car in front my my home, the only place I feel safe. There was no glass broken anywhere. All my clothes were on the side of the road cuz they threw it out. I’m almost positive that’s how they did it because I locked my door and my key fob was in my room.
My alarm still goes off unless unlocked by remote
Cool Vid Man : I've seen how people get into cars using a battery powered device that hacks the electric door locks on most cars but I didn't know about the Screwdriver trick. Are any other makes vulnerable to the screwdriver or just the Dodges ?
Thank you for this video I have a2014 and it was a nice heads up
Nice rinde man 👌🏼
Thank you so much for this. I locked my moms key in her car and it only took me a minute with your video.
this is exactly how my charger gotten broken into. 06' model
I appreciate the vid I’m on the way to get it took off now 😂
Where did you get that black and rim strip on the side?
Stephanie Privette I made it
Know if you spark plugs they were bust your windows and make no noise the glass were just shatter and then you push it out or push it in
Why doesn't the alarm go off. I saw that my dodge charger keyhole that was tampered. Not sure if they got in or not. I didn't see anything missing.
how do you fix this on a 07 charger?
Do you have or know of a fix for this problem. Thanks
So you have a Charger without the security package apparently. Tried opening my door after locking the car from the outside and horn and lights went off instantly as expected.
Steve Kraynik bro I have a SXT i don't have all that extra stuff 😏😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Steve Kraynik that’s the only way to go with a flawed key mechanism.
Good vid thanks!
Hi thanks for sharing this. My charger was broken into last night. They just took everything out of the glove compartment and armrest and tossed it on the floor and on the seats. No windows were broken. I’m wondering how come my alarm didn’t go off though.
My 2013 charger was broken into just like that. I have a 2018 now. Make a video on how to take out the rod please
Hemi RT 18 I will I'm playing on doing it this week.
UA-camN' on a Budget you know what's crazy homie. This happened to me in February. Saw this video and was like i need to block this key hole but what happens when the battery died. BUT... B A M N I T!... LAST NIGHT THEY DID IT AGAIN! So pissed
Ducati Dee change the battery before it dies.. you can tell when it's getting ready to die..
Ducati Dee Im installing a quick connection towards the back of my car if it dies so I can jump my car from the outside
Ducati Dee so think 💭 about this if they messed up your keyhole how would you get in your car now.
I just tried this and I don't know if I'm doing it wrong but can you show me a closer look on how to
Someone keeps doing that to mine and stealing all my weed and they also broke Into the glove compartment. I’m so pissed rn
What if you remove hood latch and just use pins? Wouldn't that work for removing the rods
3 years later and i just got my 2011 charger broken into (they got thru the key hole)
I put a door handle with no keyhole on my 2013 and 2018 Chargers. It's too easy to break into it like that.
I have a different problem. I have a 2010 Charger. It has a regular key hole in the door and the trunk but there is no key for those key holes. I only have the key fob. If my battery goes dead, I can't get into the car.
Isnt the key inside of the fob?
I have a 2014 and it won't open with a flat head ?
How would they start it, most have push start ignition.
insight001 they wouldn't be able to. But mainly don't leave important items in there like he was saying
Most aren't worried about stealing the car but what's in it. Harsh reality
Is there another way to prevent the car door from being opened? Like an external/3rd party lock? Disabling the wire is not prefered because it has to be reconnected when you sell the vehicle, and requires you to wire up some jumper cables to the outside of the vehicle incase the battery dies rendering the keyless entry useless.

Nothing. 😂 I bet they were disappointed to find empty laundromat cards, and a bunch of my hospital work shoes.
What did u do man I don’t see it
I'm kinda second guessing getting a Dodge charger hellcat now
the trunk access button is still disabled. With some simple hardware from home depot you can lock the back seats from folding down too. If you must leave valuables in the car, leave them in the trunk.
Can you do that with the trunk?? Locked keys in 09 charger trunk and dash button don't work
I’m taking the battery out of mine, so they can’t take it, unless they tow it, but I can come up with something clever to keep it from rolling away
Your seat are sick 🔥🔥🔥
You mentioned you were going to install a mechanism to be able to jump the car without the key. What mechanism is that??
Tell me why one morning i woke up to my key thing all messed up... now i know what they tried to do😭 luckily they couldn’t get in
Same
Me too
Just happened to me today..smh I have a 2019..I dont keep anything valuable in my car and they still did it..they didn't get all the way in..just messed up the key hole and handle
Lela Godwin I feel for you really happened to me today same issue as you and now I can’t sleep. Crazy how scummy people can be
I have a 2013 dodge CHARGER RT and they just broke into my car outside my local gym and I’m currently waiting on the cops to show up to Make a police report. And they did it the exact same way you just demonstrated because they didn’t break a window or nothing. They got in and took all my money I had.
Yeah I just tried this with 4 different screw drivers. Unless your willing to do permanent damage were all fine. I couldn't get mine open and if you looked at his key hole you can tell it looks like a ran threw stripper. I had to use the old school wire hangar trick to get my srt opened. Its not that easy guys calm down.
You forget, a thief doesn't care about screwing up the finish of YOUR vehicle.
so u just shoved the screwdriver in and turn it or just push?
im comfused why it was so easy
