Anyone who's genuinely concerned about car theft should install a kill switch but as my dad once told me locks don't keep people out they keep people honest and if someone wants what you have they can and will take it a thief doesn't need to drive a car to steal it

I will say that I feel like its a straight up video and very informative. I'm 73 and when the bad ass dodges were leaving the show room floor, they had a ignition with keys to operate said rig. I was a mechanic for my dad before I was old enough to argue and so fixing a nice car to me was second nature. I had to keep dads equipment running good and so learned a lot on gas and diesels. Over the years till I retired I could work on most of all the rigs from horse and buggy where hay was the key all the way to around two thousand. Since then stuff still applies alright but to steal a rig, it was pop the ignition out of the dash, took about half a minute taking time to not scratch the rig up and on back of switch it said what each wire went to so power, ing, st., and of course if you work on a few it gets even easier. I could take a piece of soft wire and go around the bare metal connectors and tie it together and with the end of the soft wire sticking out, touch the starter and boom its running. Movies show some guy using a slide hammer to remove the ignition switch (key part) and use a screwdriver to start or Stallone grabbing that wheel and yanking it off and twist some wires that don't even exist in real life but for the movie anything's possible. I have heard of the boxes that your referring to and seen one advertised as "never walk home" cause you lost your keys so for nine ninety five and some shipping you got a toy called a juggler and it would start any rig supposedly and they don't mention that this car needs the remote start function for it to work..... all in all not a true great deal for that lonely wife having to walk home from work like in the movies. First slap her for not having a key with her and stop making women the bad ass's they show on the tube as weight usually overrides the "training to be safe" as its some real low life that would harm a woman or even a guy in the first place. I have heard all the excuses including my dad hated me so I had to kill pillage and other low life crap stories. I am glad that youtube covers a lot of stuff. I guess if the only love you found was netflix then its a get out of jail free card... that is till you try to spend that card with me and no one can see what happens next/LOL. No I am not a bad ass, I did serve and thank you for your service as well. I just know that everything I do I am responsible for like a nine mm it the center of such offender forehead. Have a nice day and thank you for this video you shared

A buddy of mine had his scatpack stolen and we ended up recovering it fairly quickly, a day after. I used my hellcat as bait. Before it was stolen I had air tagged it with trackers and gps tracking. Got the drop on the chop shop and recovered my car and my buddies car the same night. Thanks to local law enforcement.

The color scheme on your challenger is gorgeous. Can you list your address. I have some questions I'd like to mail to you😂🤣🤣😂

The Manual is the Millennial Anti Theft Device 😆😆😆

Great vid and I like how you handled it. Vids like these are tough because you want to inform people but not the wrong people. Although the wrong people probably already know anyway. Can't wait to see what happens in the next one and how far you can drive without the fob.

Remember when the key manually locked the column and doors and that was that? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Great video TK. I appreciate you taking the time to walk folks through the entire process of what these thieves are doing

Sorry I missed the premier we were shooting the other video. I saw the chat, major shout out to all that were in the live premier.

This is is why I keep my car in the garage and fully insured. Also, I bought a pedal lock many years ago that I use to further prevent/detour theft.

All manufacturers should just make it so when a key fob has left the vehicle, it shuts off after 30 seconds and will not restart without key fob detection period.

I’m glad I have a V6 Challenger don’t have to worried about my car getting stolen. 😃

Bought a $20 Faraday box that some 5 year old kid in China made for Amazon. My next door neighbour said I was paranoid. Then his “Wide Body” vanished. I am sure it is on a container to Dubai.

That’s insane brother holy shit 🔥

Thank you TK........ I worry about my Car getting stolen........I am grateful for your VIDEOS.

The repeater box works on ANY CAR with a key fob I thought. But they got a signal imitator out. It can capture your signature, which basically makes a duplicate key. Scary stuff..

Glad I park my Scat Pack in my garage all the time. I need to contact one of the dealerships here and see about that new update.

This explains why even where I live in a public mall parking in daylight a Hellcat was almost stolen.

It's crazy how easily this is done, it sucks unfortunately but very interesting to see how it's done

That's crazy! I didn't know that.... So these little boxes act like a Wi-Fi repeater but it repeats the signal being emitted by your key fob. I agree that using a faraday box to block the RF being emitted by the key fob is a great idea! You can't repeat a signal if there's no signal to repeat!

This is why I started putting my keys in a RFID blocking box. My friends call me paranoid but I’m not risking it.

Love the video. I've heard of this issue but never saw it in action. I bought a new '19 Challenger 392 and I also bought an RFID blocker box that I leave in my kitchen and all the car and motorbike fobs go into that. I've done some tests with the fob in the box, lid open and lid closed and it definitely blocks the signal when closed. I also have an RFID blocker pouch that works but I got sick of having to take the fob out of it and put it back in each time. Now after parking at home, I drop the fob into the box and that's it. Truth be told, I get lazy when the car's inside the garage (which has its own lock, alarm, camera, etc.) so I don't always drop the fob into the box like I should, but I always do it when the car is outdoors.

Thank you for all you do TK !

Lmao leave mine In the garage and leave someone in the car when I go in store 😂💯

Going away from physical keys is less secure. But, ultimately, if somebody wants it bad enough, it can be stolen.

Another simple solution would be if the fobs had a little slide switch on them to physically switch them off so they cannot transmit anything at all. Then when you really want to go, you grab the fob and turn it back on. Maybe that would defeat the 100% hands-free mandate but I'd probably use it. Another way would be if the fob had its own internal motion sensor so if it is just sitting on a shelf or hanging in the closet in your coat pocket or purse, it would go to sleep. Once you start moving it around, it would again become active. Lots of microcontroller chips have motion (G) sensors inside them so it would be a cheap solution.

Very, very informative! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Good information brother. Thanks for the heads up!

"Good luck for them trying to steal this friggin thing from here.. uhh eHEHEHEEEGHH"💀💀💀😭😭😭😭

Tk you are such an amazing man May God bless you for inform and helping other people so they can have an idea how to protect their possessions

Great information brotha, thank you!

Here showing some love from Ghostfightter 2Tz channel keep grinding we love the content!!!🤗

I remember that dodge had some theft tracking system that said if they can't retrieve your car in 30 days they will refund you your whole car. I thought that shit was ballsy af

A physical kill switch to stop the key fobbers and some sort of brake locking system (a way to lock up the brakes) so that the vehicle can't be rolled away...similar to a 4 wheel line lock.

Very informative it's a good thing you informed us on this.

This happened at a dealership by me around the time of you posting this video. Took 5 vehicles from cape coral Florida, including a track hawk, and a TRX. Need an old school billy club lol

Wow. This is crazy how jealous people get when they see something they can't earn. Hope they resolve this soon.

Repeater boxes can be used to steal any car that uses a remote fob, not just dodge. You can keep your keys in a box lined with tin foil or don't use the fob, use the key and lock your doors the old fashioned way.

Thank you for this, while my challenger doesn't have a remote key fob my wife's grand cherokee does.

Amazing videos TK keep up the awesome work

At the end of the day, every Charger or Challenger owner needs to install at least two GPS trackers in their cars. One tracker will be the primary device that’s wired in. Then the other device will be a backup device that is wireless and is concealed deeply in the car in case the primary device is found and removed. If you have a Scat Pack or Hellcat, I recommend having a 3rd device which also is wireless.

Ik how to steal one too “damn bro lemme rev the hell cat” 😂😂😂

After watching many videos on this subject, I decided to do some anti theft proofing to my challenger. I relocated the bdo plug, installed a hinden ignition kill switch and totally removed the neutral transmission pull and cable. Hopefully this will help but who pays attention to a vehicle on the back of a tow truck! Did what I can...

Ty kind sir. I had heard of these type of mechanisms and I've watched some videos here and there but I appreciate how you walk through exactly how these Bull and I won't use curse words on your comment section, LOL but how these individuals are taking mopars. Subsequently my 2016 Challenger hellcat was broken into Christmas Eve and I don't know if they use the repeater or not I don't think they did but I assume they just wanted to get inside of it too see if I had something in there since I have a few nice vehicles in my home and I never rarely ever Park my hellcat outside overnight but I was tired and I live in a subsequently nice area but for whatever reason Christmas Eve I came out to a broken driver's window. Thank you so much for this information and I definitely will pass it along to my fellow Mopar friends here in the city of St Louis Missouri

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!

Add a kill switch and hide it, makes it a bit challenging to get the car started...

Great info, it’s faster and easier for them to push the car... chances of someone cloning a key fob is low. Not to mention they all know our cars can be heard for blocks... at least mine can.

Good information man I don't have a challenger or charger but plan to get one in the near future!!!

Faraday bags are about $10, we use them every time we put keys away.

This has been happening near me for about three years. They have been using it mainly to get in the cars and steal from inside the car. Gotta keep those keys away from doors and windows or in a sealed pouch that prevents transmission . A rfid blocker. A box lined in foil or sticking the fob in fridge , freezer or microwave will all help

Yup. This video about did it for me. Not buying one no more. I shouldn't have to go to that many extra lengths to secure my vehicle.

Thanks I’ll try this later on today

You should cover the way how people are stealing these cars just by breaking the windows putting it in neutral and having another car push it off to I guess somehow start up or maybe they just get it far enough to wear they can strip it for parts

Great video. You can turn off the passive entry to help mitigate some of the risk. Not all but some. That way the car isn't looking for the fob it has to recieve a signal from you clicking unlock on the fob before unlocking the doors.

Your best video you ever put out. Thank you

Great info, I'm tired of wrapping my keys in Tin Foil..

Chrysler/Dodge please keep making Security updates for remote start vehicles!!!

The security device on my Mopar is a Smith & Wesson 500. Be my guest!

Great info Tk 🤝💯

Love the look of your car the nicest I’ve seen.

Damn. That’s crazy. Thank you for the public service announcement.

anything can be stolen! great video 👍🏼

Just ordered my Faraday box! Thanks

Love the color! Had that on my 71 Challenger but didn’t really appreciate it until after it was gone.

I really love my charger if I knew this was going to happen I would probably never have bought one with the remote start

That's why dodge is coming out with new security updates for the Scat Packs and SRT models. Unconnect will require a code input or the car will only have something like 4hp and 11 ft lbs of torque. In other words, the car will barely go.

Thanks for the heads up

Thank you 👍 👊 I just shared with my car club in Dallas, TX 🇨🇱 where mopars are being stolen on a regular basis. I'm getting kill switches installed on both our Challengers.

All the cowardly lil car theives disliked this video...😭

I keep my key fobs wrapped in aluminum foil specially when I’m at the house and where ever I park it. No signal will go out when you wrap it in aluminum foil

Thanks G, My dad doesn't like his old camry he has been wishing for one of these so i will surprise him with a new challenger that looks just like my neighbour's.

Thank you for the info. My 2020 Challenger SP was stolen last night out of my driveway. I live just outside of Detroit, the car is cherished here, I’m going to miss it.

Totally agree with what you said at the end. I just don't get how the manufacturers do so little to prevent auto theft. I mean Dodge pushed out this security upgrade for Challengers and Chargers but they didn't do it for vehicles like the RAM TRX. Seems like they could add biometrics to the push button start so not only do you need the signal from the fob you also need the owners fingerprint before it would start.

Thanks for this, one of my neighbors has two hellcats parked in his driveway. Ima bout to have a field day baby *LETS GOOOOOO!*

Yep when I was in high school working at a grocery store we had some people breaking into cars doing it with one of these would work on any type of car

Good video! The dealer should’ve removed those yellow splitter guards. Unless you like them, they’re very easy to take off.

My 2 cents is for the people dropping 10k + on their mopar but not dropping a couple hundred on an after market alarm to at least try to prevent their cars from being stolen.

Damn this has me shook

Wow! Shout out to Mob Genius from Houston. Local car guy I know of and surprised to see you shout him out.

Just got my srt thanks for this information so I can keep mine safe

At 2:48 you can hear him drop the keys on the ground. Great video tho

Use the Faraday pouch so u can take it with u on the go. 20 bucks on Amazon

Hi, so the update is done at the dealership?Thanks for video very informative...New subbie🙋🏽‍♀️

Might be time to go semi old school and buy a steering wheel club. Crank the wheel to full lock and they can have fun pushing it in a circle.

So this is recommended to me just as soon as I was thinking of adding remote start to my challenger 💀soooo I shouldn’t add remote start then or if I do add it will a kill switch make it not stealable ?

This is literally stupid that they even make something else that damn thugs can use to steal! Thanks for this! Im glad I ran across this while watching some Dale Earnhardt #3 videos!

Wow thanks for the info .👍👍👍

Awesome video thanks bro. Subscribed and liked

WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED

I’m here because someone’s wide body just disappeared here in St Louis. The guy is offering a $10 k reward for info leading up to car’s safe return

Your challenger is dope af!!!! That interior 👌

So this is what the muscle car ownership is all about??? Can’t wait to join!

OR you just install a hidden kill switch in your Mopar like I did and they can't even start it.

You know I've always wanted a hellcat...

I’m catching up on videos Fam 💯💪🏾

Great information

Any1 knows where I can buy this

watch khalsrt’s video about his brothers mopar getting stolen. i believe they used a similar device. he put kill switches on all his mopars

Thanks for the info, it is appreciated

I have a 2016 scat and disabled the keyless entry through your evic...I believe that would stop the repeater box...unless a theif was standing close to your car when you hit the lockup on your fob....That keyless entry looks cool when you roll up to it....but it is also a sensor that runs 24 7 365
