Sitting in a friend's house working my way down a bottle of Scotch Ordinaire when the next door neighbour (RAC patrolman and local ACDC security freak) sends a text saying 'Wrap yer daughters in tinfoil and keep 'em away from the car, there are lots of thefts of Cherman cars in the area and I've just spotted a couple of suspicious cars lurking in the area'. I think he must have been further down his bottle of sin than I am cos a) I don't have any daughters and b) if I had they wouldn't mind being stolen.
So, having dutifully wrapped all our car keys in tin foil and ordered Secure by Design Faraday Cage key pouches from t'internet for future use, the question arose; do we need them? We don't have keyless entry but we do have 'attractive' German motors. Can thieves still nick 'em by purloining the code over the airways?
Any road up, nowt to do with cars but what about our bikes? The K has a transponder thingy which I 'think' only works on proximity and not 'wireless voodoo' stuff. But is I right?
Can thieves spoof our bike's security system into life somehow by a) nicking a code and b) screwdrivering the ignition barrel?
