rev up your engines, today I'm gonna talk about some easy ways to keep your
precious car from being stolen now various cars have various an anti-theft
devices on it this is an old 26 year old Toyota and the only anti-theft device is
the key that's it just a plain key you can see there's no chip in it and the
key goes into a locking steering column that's it there's so many broke that
they got hot-wired and steal the car if they really wanted to bought a cheap and
easy way for any old or new car yes just take out any important really this
really is for the fuel injection system of the car you really don't want your
car stolen you just pop the hood and when you zoom in here you just pull it
up and the fuel injection system won't work don't know what goes where on the
bottom it shows you what each thing works you want to take off the fuel
injection or the ignition system really not some guys will pull out a fuel pump
fuse or a fuse any thief could easily pop the hood and see all the fuses just
missing put it on the fuse in and drive away odds against a thief having a fuel
injection or an ignition system relay for your car lying around not slim to
none so if you pull it up they're never going to get the car going I could not
get this Toyota running without this fuel injection really and I don't carry
one so I couldn't steal it myself don't when you want it to run you just plug it
back in put the top back on very simple and easy to do and I know a lot of guys
talk about Kill switch well put a kill switch in the car then they just hit the
flip it before I get out of the car go ahead and do that if you want I used to
have one under here but that's nice and things know this all the time and
they're gonna look for a little switch to flip so it's best to just take out
what are the realizes they're never gonna have another relay for it so they
can't steal your car and of course use your head when you park your car my old celica
it's in the driveway behind the fence and then there's other cars parked
behind that nobody's going to be stealing this thing it would be too much
work the whole thing about having your car stolen is you want to make it the
most work possible for anyone to steal so always Park in a place where it's
a big bigger hassle to steal your downtown or something and there's a police
station park it right next door who's gonna steal a car in front of the police
station now more modern cars like this 2007 matrix a chip built inside that
without this chip you can't get the car started from my money these are the best
systems all because with these immobilizer systems you have to have a
key that's caught hope in the car to unlock the steering column but you also
have to have the immobilizer chip that will allow the car to run so even if you
went to some sleazy restaurant that has valet parking and the guy makes a clay
impression of your key and then has a key copy the only thing he's gonna be
able to do is to get into the car turn the key but the car will not start even
I as a mechanic could not start one of these cars
it has an immobilizer chip unless I have the same key with the same immobilizer
chip trying to start it oh I say ten-year-old Lexus has the same system
so mobile eye system as far as I'm concerned is the best system ever made
you need both a cut key and a computer chip in order to start the car but then
they came out with the keyless systems where you don't have a key it's all done
with signals that was actually a stop backwards as far as I'm concerned
because these broadcasts the signal that I launched the car knows the keys inside
and all you do is push the push button to start it they can easily be hijacked
into in most cars as an example this fancy scanner I have it just on scan it
also does key systems keyless ignition systems let's say I was a sleazy
criminal I could buy a blink for very little money on eBay and with this
machine if I got into the car I could reprogram that blank to start the car
and drive away with it and sure that's a lot of work but people have been
stealing cars that way the more modern cars they're finally realizing oh gee we
kind of screwed up there so on the really modern ones after you start eh
car drive it around and stop it and turn it off they got a special button after
you lock it that turns the system off it won't work until that key is brought in
and you turn the system back on that's a better design now I'm sure somebody who
really wants to steal your car is gonna figure out some kind of scanner that's
gonna collect that information so that they'll have a machine that when
they come up they'll just have a button to push to turn the system back on me
I'm happy with a simple immobilizer cake they have to have the key to unlock it
and it has said the chip to start the car keyless ignition system all modern
but all that modern crap is just leading to problems now now of course if you've
really worried you got really expensive car sure you can buy a LoJack system to
tell you where the car is when it's stolen but for most people you want to
just do some simple things like I've shown so no one's gonna steal your car
don't let anyone have your car for any period of time with your keys make
another key once they have that key they can copy that key you don't want to let
anybody have your key for any length of time and in that respect if you're
leaving your car's many hours are days or even a week somewhere if they're
parking your car somewhere you demand to get the key back before you leave now
when you come back you're bringing a key don't leave it there with them for any
extended period of time I've had customers have cars stolen I get a call
from their insurance company say well you were the last guy to work on a car
you and then I explained Who I am but they got a check because they realize
the last person who worked on the car could easily have gone to a locksmith I
have a copy made but still as I showed earlier even with a modern car when
you're getting out of the car pop the hood take out the fuel injection relay
or the ignition system really and nobody can steal the car it doesn't matter what
kind of computers they have to try to start your car we're not there really
and they're the vehicle is not going to start so it's a simple easy way to keep
them from stealing your car, so if you never want to miss another one of my new
