Ask any security expert in OR ot of any computer industry. Given enough time and motivation any security system can be hacked.

You can't make anything fool-proof. They keep coming up with new and improved fools.

The best way to protect your car is a combination of :

1.) a good alarm.

2.) a good way to secure the car.

I believe I have found such a combination. This should prove to be very difficult to defeat by even the most high-tech methods.......

The Alarm:



The Security:

LOL @ alarm...

Reminds me of an acquanitance of my wife, whose backpack was stolen with her house and car keys in it. I would have truly felt a sense of justice if anyone had actually tried to get into her house with said keys, though, since she had 10 German Shepherds in her house at the time... several of whom were QUITE territorial.

I found just today that if one door is ajar on my Versa, the locking system will not secure the car from entry when you leave it. The obvious is when you don't here the chrip when you push the Lock button. I let my wife go out to the Versa which was at least 200 ft. away first while I paid the Diner bill just to see if the car locked and she was setting in it when I arrived. So to all, if the car don't chrip check the doors before leaving and make sure you hear the chrip. I know, if theives want it they will take it. WTF!!
