Theft experiment: how some craftsmen open other people's cars with a key fob from their car

Recently, a video has been circulating on social networks in which a citizen demonstrates how you can open someone else's car using the key fob of your car. The AvtoVzglyad portal could not pass by this miracle - either installation, or technology ...

To open a foreign car, allegedly, it is enough to know the last two digits of the VIN number of the instance of interest. The author of the video approaches a Volkswagen Touareg standing in the parking lot, examines its VIN plate under the windshield, and then presses the open button on the key fob (also from some VW) as many times as it appears in the last two positions of the notorious code of the experimental Touareg. And he is magically disarmed…

The AvtoVzglyad portal decided to test this life hack on its own experience, repeating the experience immortalized in the hype video. We chose VW Touareg "relatives" as target models - a couple of Porsche models and the Japanese bestseller of all time - Toyota.

What came out of it - you can see for yourself ... However, this is not surprising.

If it were so easy to take possession of someone else's car, not some video bloggers would be the first to know about it, but real auto thieves.
