Bought a new car and think it’s safe from theft? Think again! We heard that there were tools on the market that would allow a person to steal a car in under a minute in some cases. We wanted to test this out so we engaged a professional locksmith and brought him a brand new Hyundai i30 and a brand new Toyota Kluger/Highlander to test his skills using tools bought off the internet.

U tried this on my own car and learnt how to do this
Shut down the websites that sell the equipment to steal cars.
The problem is people keep looking there keys in there cars so lock Smith have to get the technology to enter the car and thieves sometimes have day jobs as lock smiths
steering locks making a come back
Please i want you to still my Telsa because that bitch battery is worthless 🤣🤣😂😂😂
I so t think ttat F-Pace was in a garage?
Not that it would help much, but still somewhat preventative I guess…
this is why i prefer having old cars and also stick shift thats the anti theft cause most of these kids cant drive stick cause theyre all used to automatic
i have my F pace almost 5 years now and i still have it – insurance went up by 49.4% this year as in a high crime area
also, steering wheel locks are mostly not much of a deterrent and are difficult to use and keep in the car
you are completely wrong about protecting your car from being stolen: keyless entry cars having a faraday pouch one should obviously have, but one should also have a GHOST IMMOBILISOR fitted which allows the owner to set a password using only the cars existing buttons on the dashboard, door and steering wheel to set a password with upto 23 presses to be able to start the engine. It cannot be detected via the obd or any electrical device and renders the stealable only by towing it away. For the non keyless cars, you can buy an obd port protectector which stops a burglar from using the obd port!
now, one would THINK, that the more technology we have THE LESS this SHYTE would happen, not more, when older cars are safer than the news ones, we've got a problem…
I hate to tell you, your locksmith is slow. Thieves dont program new keys they already have the frequencies for the keys. Thats all the care needs, Push start has made cars easier to steal that they were in the previous century before they had ecus. At least back then they had to damage the vehicle to steal it. We need to go back to a key holes with mechanically operated steering wheel locks.
How about when you have an AUTOWATCH alarm system installed, with an anti-hijack switch to boot?
There’s a lot to be said for my dad’s old Statesman with the V8. It was so loud you couldn’t start it without it rocking the entire house. It used to vibrate. Mother never got used it — each time he started it up, she was startled by the noise. 😂
I have a 2003 Honda and know that if I update my car my keys will be in metal box and car chained to garage floor….
The older cars are harder to steal at the moment.
My car has a key and it's not the code on the barrel…
Personally I would like a removable steel post so the car can't drive out.
Or easier yet, locks on the garage door tracks so that garage door can't be opened.
Yes, my car lives in the garage.
Find ways to stop it from leaving is a must.
Please think outside of the box and be paranoid about your car, my car is as important to me as my pets and family.
What else is new😂
So I actually got a keyed one for that purpose but the stupid thing is there's still something that detects if you "locked" your keys in the truck which that doesn't even work right so it actually opens when it has low battery so the ffing signal thing does it again. and the most basic model still has an ebrake like why lol
That’s why I drive 21 years old Jag. No one wants it even I sell it for £10. 😊
Thats why i cant be bothered with car alarms,most people ignore them
Thanks for teaching the crooks how to steal the cars
If l had a new car I would have a take no action and change the the system where the computer then has to changed
Too bad you did not explain how the older cars with a key and key code are far more secure.
Just an FYI, there's an old school trick for defeating a steering wheel lock. The thief buys a can of refrigerant (also known as air conditioning refill cans), sprays it on the steel portion, then smashes the frozen steel with a hammer. In USA, cars with the absolute worst security are Kia/Hyundai/Genesis and any Stellantis/FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles). There are news stories on the internet about car thieves literally stealing these cars from dealerships or even right from the factory. Unsecured, unattended bicycles have better security. It's ridiculous. Thanks for the video! Subscribed!
I really like the hidden kill switch ideas but best of all, I own an old-school car without keyless entry. My 1988 BMW 750iL doesn't have keyless entry and I only have one key. No OBD II port to hack either. Gotta love these old school cars.
Remove the starter fuse every time you park.
Its basically a parts car now bc someone stole the cat and it already needed and was ready to be inspected prior to that now i considered buying the drivetrain for something since its 6spd supercharged 4cyc
Got a mercedes kompressor sitting in my driveway nc the owner has a few and three the key to it away by accident that i wanna hotwire or ATLEAST unlock the steering wheel
What is the other module on the car called apart from OBD? I thought it was only one in the vehicle
My Toyota Hilux was stolen in England then ended up in Kenya almost 3 months later, my new Hilux has a Shadow immobiliser. Trackers aren’t very useful if car goes into a shipping container
If it was 5min then the damn video wouldn’t be 11+ minutes. Make it make sense
My car was stolen today without a a key and I’m curious as to how 😞
Is Maric like Marić ?
Croatian?
Very nice video . Re route your OBD reader and install a dummy one in place . Then , install a kill switch . The is the best in my opinion
So sepricing😮
Bet there is no way you can start a Mercedes SLK-55 AMG r171 without the key, it's impossible….
Manufactures want the cars stolen, insurance pays out and another car is sold!
Laughs in soviet car
