  1. Auto makers need to add an alternate authentication method to activate the FOB. For example, every 24 hours you need to use a real key, thumbprint etc to renew the fob wireless activation feature. So if your car is sitting in a airport parking lot for a week, it will no longer respond to keyfobs and would require the owner to perform the authentication interaction to initially unlock it.

    This would be similar to how iPhone users are prompted randomly for the passcode even while using faceID.

    1. “random authentication”
      i.e. you mean putting the physical key into the key slot, on the door?

      (Rather than depending on the keyfob and/or your phone?)

    2. @Ewen Chan I was initially thinking a randomized delay and switch to 24 hours. A bit of a language error in my sentence.

  2. I find it impossible to believe that with this many vehicles being jacked that the police are oblivious as to where these vehicles are being taken and who is steaking them. Something stinks here. Why aren’t insurance companies pushing for better security and recovery????
    Even if you know where the stolen vehicle is the police will not move to catch the thieves.

  3. How can you ship a container loaded with stolen trucks to other country without authorities knowing it ?????????? Hopefully the pick up truck of the PM will be lost to thieves before this government will act on it. It means you can ship any stolen items outside the country without a trace. Useless government.

  4. Ah, stop complaining. You don’t have the right to protect you, yours and your property from criminal purps.

    Sincerely, JT!

  5. The ports of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Halifax, and CBSA should require registration of the vehicle and insurance that happens overseas, and Canada should do the same.

  6. i just installed a carburetor on my new 2023 dodge ram they will have a very very hard time getting it started .
