We've had several keyless entry cars over the last few years which includes my wifes' current Mini and whilst I've read about possible security issues it's never really bothered me however today I met up with a mate who hadn't seen my GLC and his comment was " what the **** did you buy that for".
Normally I would have laughed and said he was just jealous, even when he said there is a known security hacking issue but this guy is a serving copper in the Tees force and he says they've had 3 brand new cars stolen from tees port recently where they are convinced that the system has been overridden. They recovered one car from a dodgy estate where the woman was paid £150 to keep the car in her garage.
It wasn't much comfort to be told that other makes are also not safe with a particular Ford Fiesta model being the worst.
Anyone come across this?
