not likely. the remote key uses rolling codes.

Rolling codes is a little better and only up to 256 codes. It's take while to break in. Sad, GM don't have them since I don't heard of rolling codes for GM before.

Dont forget he is mechanics and I am sure he heard plenty of stories on daily basis and has network of friends whos mechanics, just like myself heard plenty of stories about VRS ON daily basis and many of my friends works for VRS.

And yes, he is right Ford is one of top list of stolen vehicle, my truck was one of top. Damn it.

Even with rolling codes, since they are in mass production, meaning too many are out there making it easier for crooks to figure out how rolling code works, once they figure out BAM, it don't take much for them to steal cars.

eh? they didn't steal a car because of rolling code. they did it with a screwdriver.

and no it's not that easy to figure it out. that's why you don't hear much about thief stealing a car via Code Grabber.

"takes a while" is not what a thief is interested in. they're not gonna stick around.
 
What Is a Rolling Code?
If an owner presses a button and the remote is too far away for the receiver to intercept the signal, the remote creates a new rolling code but the receiver does not. To avoid an owner locking himself out of his own car or garage if he accidentally hits the button from too far away, the remote and receiver are both designed to generate 256 random new codes each time a code is used. If the remote transmits one out of these 256 rolling codes to the receiver, it will still unlock the car and the two devices will sync back up and generate the same random codes because they both contain the same number generator designed to create the next set of 256 codes.

Though 256 codes may seem like a lot, it's virtually impossible to unlock another person's car, even if a person happens to have a remote designed to work with the same type of receiver found in that specific car. The chances of having a compatible remote and that remote generating one of the 256 codes the person's car will accept is still smaller than one in a billion. A thief would need years to find the right rolling code, making the rolling code system a fairly simple, yet reliable, method of safely locking and unlocking items using keyless entry devices.

Why would I want to visit Chicago and New York City often? Its not a city of my type to visit often. Once in a while, that's it. I never ever been to Chicago but been to New York City once.
