[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1011112, member: 52972"] KL, Probably not the Easy Route, just the cheapest. Consider that if the remote transmitted the next code and the receiver replied, there is no guarantee that the remote actually received the return signal? That makes the communications cycle needlessly complicated. I think the reason that these cloned remotes work with GM and Honda, etc is that their remote programs are easier to decipher....and probably why they don't work with other vehicles....they have not hacked the programs on remotes from Ford, Chrysler, and the German cars? Perhaps the wrong code will trigger the alarm and disable the remote until the door is opened with a key, and the key turns the ignition on. This would not stop them from attempting to unlock the doors with this device, but they would only have one chance....which really reduces their chance of successfully unlocking the doors? It also sounds like the thieves are not stealing the cars, they just want access to steal high end items in the cars like Smartphones, GPS, Ipads, cash, guns, etc. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
