Using scanners to duplicate the 'old' RF transponder remotes is standard modus operandi, not 1 in a thousand or million. Which is why luxury marques have come up wth running-code remotes which are extremely difficult to scan and duplicate.The downside of the new technology is that if there is a syndicate 'order' for Mercs or BMWs, they'll use the carjacking method to 'acquire stock'. A couple of years ago, a company director with a biometric security system in his S-Class had his thumb chopped off before being dropped off naked in an oil palm estate in Subang. I'm always on the alert for carjackers and there have been occasions when I've driven past my house when I thought I was being tailed.</blockquote>
