Another trick is with simple divices people make with radioshack quality technology. Any form of clicker on a keychain (locking, activating car alarm, etc) are easy. They just have a divice which listens to the frequency, and just sit in any parking lot. They can then play with the car on that frequency with another divice which are programmed with the common car sets. Dont ask me exactly how, as I quite honestly dont know. All I know is they simply need time and you to use your remote for the frequency. Thats why I always lock with the door locks.

Just to shed some light on this -- not only is it easy, it's FUCKIN easy. You don't even need to do any wiring or trolling for frequencies at all. You need a $100 laptop with a wifi card. Car companies claim that your car is safe because the "data is encrypted" as it comes from your dongle. That's entirely correct, if the thief is trying to read the data that you've transmitted for legible information. If all they need to do is capture the bitstream (encrypted or not) transmitted freely though the air and play it back once you're gone, then encryption means shit.
