Mom had one growing up, I did a lot or walking hahaha

Along with the Ford Pinto with the exploding gas tank!!
Oh. A Ram owner! Did they hurt your feelings? 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta love the company marketing using terms like "it's rare...", ...yes, 140 thefts in 2 months isn't rare . It's bonkers
That was only in York town if I understand correct. Checked wiki and it's is population 150k. So 140 thefts is pretty high. Insurance must be expensive there
I'm going to remove my transmission every time I park..
Keep one step ahead of them..🤙
Yea I like to remove the engine every night before bed and just install in the morning before work. Simple and quick solution
Install manual transmission, no one will steal that
just unplug a few wires and these dudes will have no idea how to plug them back in.
😭😭😭
Get a IGLA Pro system installed. Thieves hate them and will avoid trying to steal the vehicle in most cases.
If you have a garage, use it for your vehicle instead of as a mini-storage. That'll cut down on almost all thefts at home. That said most pickups have gotten so big they can't even fit in a standard size garage anymore (even if it weren't full of junk).
Hmnn... You have a point..
The trucks hardly fit a standard garage.
Mine doesn't fit in my garage.
@@slimflusha2360 that should tell you something…
You sound like the HOA
it’s incredible with all the features these vehicles come with, and the ridiculously high price tag - that there is not built in GPS tracking system in case of theft
there is, the thieves disable it by pulling out the touch screen and then ripping out the wires.
GPS jammer cost $100‐$300
I just realized that lol
They do have GPS built into the radio. Generally, police departments are understaffed and don’t have the resources to investigate auto thefts which are rampant.
It’s a Dodge/Ram issue. They’re incredibly easy to steal. Main reason I sold my Hellcat.
Put your key in a pouch that keeps the signal from your transmitter (key) enclosed. Especially when at home. That’s how they are picking up the signal. You toss the key on a shelf or whatever by the door and it’s constantly communicating with the vehicle. They pick up the signal, isolate it and then your truck is theirs!! They can do this with any push button start vehicle!
It's because of the keyless entry feature. They can relay the RFID from your key fob and open/drive away your vehicle, from hundreds of feet away. Get an RFID blocking sleeve or box for your key fob!
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.
No, insurance companies will cancel your policy. That's what they did with Kia and Hyundai. Ridiculous.
No kidding. Think of the storage and infrastructure needed to either strip all these cars and trucks and shop them out. They just turn a blind eye
@@mxerb5912 straight to the port on their way to Africa to be resold
It’s not the insurances job to have security on ur vehicle that’s the manufactures job to prevent that as much as possible
It’s a dodge, the police (rightfully so) think that the less of them on the road the better
As a small business contractor myself I FEEL for these guys
They shouldve bought chevy
Probably didn’t even use the box on that truck!
As a blue collar worker that doesn't OWN a business I feel for workers.
These keyless entry and start systems are the reason for this. If you have the electronics to do this, it's easier than hot wiring a car in the old days. Put your keys in a metal box when you arrive home.

Back in the day in South Africa, a guy invented a flame thrower device such that if you tried to break into the vehicle., the flames would come out a series of ports all around the car and from underneath. For some reason it was banned. Maybe needs to be reconsidered. (I can hear everyone crying already)
I remember that. It was a bmw 3 or 5 series.
Me too!
Yeah....there was a video of him demonstrating that....the flames were huge😂.
For some reason, 😂 wonder why?
Yes, the reason is he accidentally killed himself with it.
I have always pulled the fuel pump relay and the ignition fuse out of my vehicles when not being driven. These gimmick security systems are only there to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. When I lived in a super bad part of town cars were being stolen all around me, but mine never moved.
That's actually very smart.
Great idea. I did that to my truck when I went to Hawaii
Thats very smart, and no vehicle will run without it.
To make it even better, instal broken relays so that they wouldn't know why it's not starting
I remember about 15 years ago they were stealing Tahoes and Yukons with the new chipped keys by busting a window, forcing it into neutral and pushing it with another truck. If they want a vehicle, they will get.
The only thing the police knows to do is give out speeding tickets.
And put speeding cameras on every block
@@jollyjames30 so true haha!
And hugager fines for speeding in a stolen truck

There is a simple vehicle mod explained by CHRIS FX channel. You install a hidden switch somewhere in the cab that turns off power to the fuel pump at the fuel pump fuse. A handyman can do it himself. Can't steal it if it won't run. Mod is for any vehicle.
That’s exactly what I was just thinking
That’s helps somewhat but if a thief really wants it they’ll just tow it 🤷♂️

Its a win win situation for auto manufacturers . Your truck gets stolen and gets shipped out to some other country , your insurance pays you the amount and you go drop your money on another vehicle.That brings to the point , are Manufacturers not doing enough deliberately
Just like selling them without the chip that operates the electric seat and CarPlay. That would force me to go and trade it in after a year. How is it that they can have every ecu and tcu but not the chip that’s significantly smaller.. “it’s on back order” is what they claim..
@@jonathonflores4937 that’s crazy I heard about this chip problem but didn’t really know how it affected the car
@@jonathonflores4937 which electric seat?
@koalaKurt My car displays the temp on my actual climate control knob for the driver and passenger. Apparently, it takes two chips for this and the newer models eliminate this and display the individual temps on the radio.
They make money either way so when they don’t wanna do their job go to another making model stay away from Dodge
Considering the rationale for the electronic fobs and pushbutton starts was to make the vehicles "impossible" to steal, perhaps it's time for mfrs to just go back to normal keys that don't cost $300 to replace.
plot twist the car thieves are undercover car dealership employees. hmm makes actual sense now lol

While proximity door opening and starting so you never have to take the key out of your pocket, purse, backpack or whatever else is convenient, the security risks greatly outweigh the convenience IMO. You should be able to configure the vehicle to go in passive mode where it will only be activated by user-initiated keyfob presses instead of proximity.
I completely agree. I mean hard hard is it to push a button on a fob and then insert and turn in the ignition? The new system, you still have to push a button to start, so it's down to the insert and turn. Are we really that lazy? Apparently.
You can use the old way, just remove the battery out of the key, use the mechanical key to get in then push the key against the push button and voila like the old days having mechanical key
@@ItsJust2SXTs How do you remove the battery from a Tesla RFID keycard or any RFID FOB which doesn't need any for proximity functions?
@@teardowndan5364 Tesla key card doesnt have battery in it. I own a charge and a magnum, the charger has the proximity sensor and all, just split the remote in half remove the battery and done but you need the mechanical key to open the door since the switch on the remote doesnt work anymore. There is in the key a coil that received power from the push button to identify it when it,s pushed against it, that how the car start when the key fob is dead. The magnum doesnt have proximity but has a key that turn in the cylinder, unlike the 05-07 they had the old style mechanical key, the 08 has the coil with the ID of the key to start the car. I can turn the key cylinder with my finger in but nothing happend not power no crank just the security light. RFID fob are like credit card they work the sameway, just need to be close enought to received power to send back the info. you can't clone that unless it's very close to the key or got close a somepoint to clone the data, like thiefs do with credit card
@@ItsJust2SXTs RFID chips can be read from 10' away if you have a large enough coil. In some surveillance videos, you can see the thief holding a large loop (5-6' diameter) in front of someone's door hoping the FOB is in coat pockets hung near the door or other similar situation. About 6000 vehicles have been stolen in the Toronto area by RFID vehicle thieves in 2022.

They's 2 things to fit in a car. A tracker and an immobilizer. The tracker will let you see where the car is at any time. But the immobilizer will not allow the car to start without being deactivated. Some can be programmed into the car to prevent OPD 2 port bypass and relay key tapping.I don't live in the USA but here in Africa these are the best things you can have in your car.
If you have physical security, buy a steering lock, gear lock or pedal locks.
They said that both the immobilizer nor the tracking device worked.
The video makes it looks like some thieves are using the relay attack, which tricks the vehicle into thinking the correct key has been used to open and start the car. If thats the case, the only defense against that kind of signal theft is to put your keys in a Faraday cage to block the signal the key transmits.
Doesn’t work got mine stolen last week had both they disabled it
The immobilizer I refered to is an after market one. I'm not sure of the products you have in the USA. But over here this side, after market trackers and immobilizers are the best defense to theft. I know they are those builts in immobilizers from factory that are programmed into the key.
But that is also useless cause it's bypassed by relay tapping and OPD2 bypass.
The best solution is to have an aftermarket immobilizer installed. We have a wide range of companies that provide this.
@@chandamusonda6883 Do you know what immobilizer to recommend using?

Install a Compustar security and remote starter. There are products installed in line to prevent relay attacks.
My neighbor got his ram truck stolen and there was nothing the cops could do, and they said the truck could be used for criminal activities. Anyways the truck was later found abandoned in the city.
Use a brake pedal lock, which would make it impossible to shift out of park. The lock must be a high quality, very expensive one, which would require drilling out the lock for the thieves to remove it (which takes time and, what's more important, makes lots of noise), provided the thieves brought a drill with them.
I actually think the best way to prevent a theft is to remove the fuel pump relay. Thieves will definitely not know to carry a spare or figure out that is the reason the car isn't starting.
That's not true.... You can still shift out of Park
@@taurussho86 No you can not, if you can't press the brake pedal down the shift interlock will not let it out of park. It is a push button on 22 models. all done inside the transmission electronically, no more cables to force. you can only put it in neutral with release in fuse box. and that only releases the parking paw for towing. so thieves would need a wrecker.
@@RayRayP2001 what about the nutreal pull strap?
Most of these new generation Ram trucks have adjustable pedals. Just adjust the pedals until the lock is loose.

Live within your means
Exactly…2007 baby!
Is that the same news reported iron Mike Tyson cussed out on live tv?? lol what a legend
Taking the battery out of your key fob or putting it into a metal case to stop the RFID signal is one way to help with this they are using a device that grabs the signal half way between your fob and the vehicle and then programming a new fob they also (on some vehicles) need your vin that’s why you’ll see some looking at the windshield after or before grabbing the signal. Hope this helps
That's exactly what it takes. A Faraday box is $27 on the jungle site.
Don't need to buy anything from Amazon any metal box will work. Even aluminum foil in a bowl with a lid or just wrap the fob in foil. An empty Pringles can with a piece of foil for a lid, or an empty tea tin. I'm sure everyone has something that is all metal already.
I guess it is illegal to cover up your VIN located on your windshield eh?
not true, the thing is the new dodges don’t need any keys present while coding a new one. that’s how they get stolen
@@romanpalumbo5976 They do have to be able to pickup a signal from an already existing key don't they?
Otherwise how are they managing to just program a new key out of thin air?
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.
"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?)
@@ewenchan1239 I was initially thinking a randomized delay and switch to 24 hours. A bit of a language error in my sentence.
That won't work because anything electronic can be reprogrammed or by passed. The only way to cure this problem is to mechanically install some manuel interference switch on the ignition system or ecu to disable it all together so it doesn't even turn on unless you're the one who manually switches it back on. If they can't fire up the engine, then theft is reduced greatly.
How easy is it to ship a car out of Canada? This is beyond absurd
@Benjamin Franklin You don't need to ship as you can just drive over the border. At the border, they've only concerned about your passport and I.D.
So the thieves are able to use the antenna to capture the key fob signal inside the house? Can you put your fob in a Faraday bag (Amazon sells) when you come home (or Altoid container)?
My 2022 ram 1500 just got stolen last week😢
Well, that little luxury of a remote entry key fob, sure has presented a glaring vulnerability for car thieves to take advantage of.

I just hope new home builders would build garages adequate enough to house a Pick up truck i.e. 24 plus feet. The standard 20ft can barely fit a modern sedan anymore either.
lol. Cars are not 20 feet long. My Charger was 199 inches long, it's one of the longest cars short of a Bentley or Rolls that you can buy. 20 feet is 240 inches...
With how stupid pickup trucks have become you should be more focused on garage door height since most of these monster trucks barely fit (if at all) on the height side. The longest ram 1500 is 242 inches btw
Two of the 4 bays of our garage will fit a CC LB pickup that is up to 9' tall (26' deep with 9x18 door). The other two would be tight as they are only 23' deep. Suburban and Expedition EL are about 19', but the F350/F450 CC LB (266.2") are approaching 23'.

I am pretty sure car theft isn’t a new thing. They figured out how to steal those too.
A few auto makers I believe have added motion sensors to the key fob which will not allow the thieves to simply intercept the signal and tell the car to start. The vehicle also needs to detect that the key fob is in the person's hand or pocket and moving before allowing the vehicle to be entered and started.

So what if you know your car's at the port? The cops don't respond or won't get it back. And even if you do get it back, do you still want it after it's been tempered with?
modern security systems often have 2 way data communication with the truck. so if the factory fob is used to unlock the door, the system disarms. a smart thing to do would be to disable this feature in the aftermarket security system. still, at best it would just slow them down as they would need to pull the knee buster panel and jumper two wires together. this would only work if an old school style of system were to be installed. all modern systems use the data bus to perform all the functions.
Have garages and still park outside is insane knowing it can get stolen
just remove the fuel pump relay or create a mechanical switch to turn it on or off and do the same for the starter relay , they will have to work alot harder to steal your truck if it doesnt supply fuel or crank !
The key fob relay attack is becoming more popular every day. Don’t leave your fob on a key hook by your front door, but instead start hiding it somewhere else in your house. Maybe a place that shields the signal from getting out as far.
Bingo. I put my daily use key in a small faraday bag, and the other spare keys in another faraday bag inside a steel gun safe, in my concrete walled basement.

“The Electronic security systems are better than the mechanical ignition systems” - they said…
“The new vehicle computer systems could never be hacked”…
Nothing about the "how?" That seems like the most important part here.
If folks stop buying new cars and trucks for this reason, then automaters and insurance companies would be forced to come up with better solutions
That has zero to do with this. It's called technology. Something you clearly don't have a grasp on. Doesn't matter the vehicle make. Difference is ford and Dodges have cheap dud keys. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to program it. Some education for yeh
We need new cars to make used cars so i have no idea where your logic is coming from.
Insurance companies are not responsible to secure your vehicle. That is your job and the manufacturer's job. The real problem here is the technology that is in vehicles. Tech is hacked within hours of its creation. If it can be programmed, a 12 year old kid with programming knowledge can reverse engineer it within a very short time. And funny enough, it is the tech that fails on a vehicle, before the mechanical parts fail.
And lower their ridiculously high prices.
The Club a steering wheel locking device, and also a brake pedal lock.
i just installed a carburetor on my new 2023 dodge ram they will have a very very hard time getting it started .
With manual choke I assume?

Install those rising pipes from under ground in your drive way
That’s stupid expensive and the thieves would drive around them lol
Well.. It would only take one per garage bay to make it impossible for the vehicle to be stolen without notice. Those things are ridiculously tough
Love how Stellantis took zero responsibility. Another reason not to by one.
that's just stellantis for ya🤷🏽♂️ making crap products but never taking accountability
@@alexcuevas5633 please stop buying them so the price will go down.
@@johnd5398 i won't don't worry. I would buy a Ford in a heartbeat
A big problem is this push to start. Chipped keys where brilliant they only had a range of a few feet so nearly impossible to copy the RFID signature. But without the key being physically present in the ignition switch nothing would run.
Wtf is a Lexus 350. I have a GS 350, my wife has a RX 350, my brother has an IS 350, and my neighbor has an ES 350. Again, what is a Lexus 350?
Just unbolt the drive shaft. Works every time.
Very convenient too.
I usually take all 4 tires off. Then I pull all electronics. I take the hood off, and the windshield out. Lastly I pull the motor. I do this every night when I get home and put it all together the next morning. Never had a vehicle stolen 🤙
Surprised that the least reliable truck in the world, is attractive to thieves. Must be the ease of theft
Going to wealthy thieves & criminals in the 3rd world. It's the status symbol they value, huge vehicles for guys with anatomical short comings.
Yet the Mexican police state has a whole fleet of them wonder whys that most likely because they are proven trucks

That's why I like my 1974 and 1976 Dodge Power Wagons. Theft proof to the max. That 4 Speed Manual transmission confuses every Car thief.
I have my fobs in a faraday pouch and a steering wheel lock, soon to get the IGLA anti theft system installed.
whats the cost to get the igla done?
Thieves tried to take the non-existent cat off my girlfriend’s dad’s TRX recently. He had it removed already for better performance and sound lol
unless he got it deleted, it comes with cats...

THANK YOU RAM TRUCKS you got more sense than person posting this video
There documentary of theft vehicle being ship overseas, and half time still be sold at dealership with plate still on them.
I thought they were stealing jeeps. And Now rams? Must be a Chrysler thing.
CRV's and Toyota/Lexus suv are hot too,must be a Toyota and Honda thing
@@Jonathan11225 Absolutely. They are garbage cars in terms of security.
They’re stealing Chrysler dodge jeep and ram. They want them hemis
Supply and demand applies in all areas of business, even the illegal ones.
@@Jonathan11225 pretty much any low level security. Toyota meh I think the safe thing about them is who tf is stealing a Toyota. But Kia, Hyundai, Chevy, dodge, jeep, now ram. Probably Nissans too I can’t imagine they have great anti theft if it’s Nissan. Surprised Honda isn’t on the list but they have gotten better than the older gens. And for sure ford.
I drive a manual with insert keys, ik it’s an old car. Well I forgot the keys on the lock of the door and an hour later the bar next door said we have they keys to this vehicle. I recovered my keys and found my car in 1st gear!! I always leave it in neutral bad habit I kn!! But the funny thing is that they TRIED to steal it but didn’t even know how to start a manual 😂😵💫😵💫😵💫
I wonder if those cables they're holding up to capture your key codes....will stop bullets...?
I ordered my 22 F150 with just a regular key, no keyless entry. No tech to be defeated!
