How do they still get in?

Hi all,

Last week got in my 64 plate 3 series and it had been overnight ransacked everything all over the place luckily no damage

Told my neighbour who had his 11 plate X6 stolen last year to be aware ,he now has a 14 plate X6.

We came to the conclusion the new ones from 12 onwards are suppose to be far better re security and i must have not locked it as I walked away.

He has just rang me to say overnight someone has got into his car and everything moved around again no damage.

I just dont believe someone is sitting in a car using some software to intercept the door signal as we lock it so what the hell is happening here ? I have a Disklok which I put on where ever I go so thats something as does he since his loss

Surely they lock themselves if they're left unlocked and unoccupied for a set time?

alapa hi we dont believe we have both been silly enough not locking our doors and if you say they do lock after a set time (they do when driving) how are they doing it?

[smashy]

oh and if they are sitting in a car and hacked the signal as i lock it ,does that mean they have my codes for all time or do they change on say a daily basis anyone?

Reckon this is how they are doing it
