I've used spectrum analzers in the army. Not hard to scan the area your in to see what frequencies are in use ie when u press your remote. Once I know what frequency I can them use the same spectrum analyzer to transmit that frequency to trigger a receiver ie car alarm maybe worse your garage door opener.

+1, you can also get RF scanners and more or less keep going through a known band and presto it will open.... alot easier then breaking in. Think about it, would you second guess a guy that opened a car with a remote?

Hopefully he won't hit our hiic members, there's literally thousands of vehicles he can prey on at will on the island. This guy w/ the rf scanner is like a shark in a pool of baitfish.

All cars that use a RF emitter to open the car are in the crosshairs... not just subies, still blows though.

ojichan,

did your car alarm have a rolling code / hopping code feature?

i'm curious if this will prevent the " box " from getting through the car alarm

I honestly doubt it, because scanners with a very small freq. range will find it, you can scan a small spectrum in less then a millisecond depending how well of a scanner you have.
