I'm looking to have the security beefed up in my S3 with a new multi layer system (not disclosing further than that). However I don't want to have a separate fob for it, I want to use my OEM key. Which is doable by using the can bus to integrate the alarm.
My local installer tells me there is a vulnerability if I do that because the codes can be read and cloned on the OEM fob.
When my car was last 'broken into' I'm pretty sure they used a lock pick (HU66) and then just ignored the us less quiet factory alarm.
I've googled and researched as best I can and have read they have a very secure rolling code system where old codes used get 'burned' and can't be re used even if they are grabbed.
The vulnerabilities are on the keyless entry ones where they are always transmitting and you don't even need to press the button to unlock your car. So I really don't think mine is vulnerable to this ?
I would much rather have an OEM fob than an aftermarket seperate from my key.
Anyone got any opinions on this ? Or information ? What would you do ?
