Was reading somewhere in a website where the guy remote was spoilt and got a replacement for 20RM in johor. The workshop scan for the radio frquency and made a duplicate for the guy to use (and who knows a thrid one for himself to do car shopping). Recently came out in the newspaper a guy left his car locked and return to find some items stolen in his car. He suspected someone scan and manage to "detect" the remote radio frequency that the car remote is using to communicate and use it to unlock his car while he was away. How can we defend ourself from such things? Manual lock is safer than remote?

Depending on what kind of remote you are using Cool. Obviously that guy did his remote for RM20,must be he is on the cheapo kind of remote with only 1 code so much more easier to duplicate. Evil or Very Mad I'm not too sure about Aveo, but for Optra our remote comes with the immobilizer, there have been numerous occassion when you read in forums both here and across the causeway where they tried to duplicate the key but was refused by the 3rd party. The only way for them is to go back to the agent to duplicate their keys and this cost them RM400 to RM500. My point if outside vendor cannot do, means other people also cannot scan the codes!

For those on aftermarket or thinking of getting one, just don't jump on the cheapest you can find, the cheaper it is, the less complicate the design, the easier to duplicate the codes. Therefore please read or go do your research on the product you intend to install before committing.

For aveo stock alarm, when lock, a single ''beep'' sound with hazard lighted once. To unlock, no sound but have a hazard lighted once. FYI.

Actually what I wanted to know is the door lock, if it's like Optra, the lock stalk is at the window side. Some cars the lock is by the catch that release the door.

i scutinised for the persistent problem n found out the cause.
its the bonnet catch (not lever) that was not locking up the bonnet..it doesnt close properly due to vibrations.
its the spring bolt n nut area..it came loose somehow.
so its back to normal for now..
thanks. Wink

Our alarm system work differently from aftermarket car alarm. The higher end will also have immobilizer as well. This alarm system is also up for discussion whereby some people have decided to forgo their immobilizer and settle for aftermarket alarm system where the thing will make all the funny noise but is totally useless against theft.

In any alarm system, the key word here is warning. It's crucial that the LED lights is visible to potential thief, this is a deterrent system, whereby by sight they will know that the car is armed. You can follow Mustaffa style, i.e. the sell the fake camera housing with LED light at $4, this look like real and most people will assume there is a camera in there and will behave themselves. You can also do the same for you car, just put a blinking LED light to let people think it's armed with an alarm system.

However not all alarm system can deter theft, some thief are known to be very daring, if they see your valuable left behind in the car, they can just smash the window, let the alarm sound, grab your laptop or whatever and fled before anyone can be alerted. The deed is done.

So part of your car security should be your responsibility, i.e. don't leave valuable visible in the car. The other more important part is where the alarm system can be by pass, if thief do this kind of by-pass, they intend to steal the entire car, this is where the immobilizer comes in. Although they may silence your car, but they will not be able to drive away they car. More complicated immbolizer would also involve anti-jacking, means if they jack up your car to be towed away, the immobilzer would be activated, unfortunately I don't think our immobilizer is such.

Now back to our alarm system, if you use your remote to lock and arm your car, you will hear the chirp sound. If you don't hear the chirp sound, this would mean that you have lock your car but your alarm is not armed. Why, the logical reason would be that either one of your car door, boot, bonnet is not close properly. So if you lock and no chirp, please inspect your vehicle for any of the opening not shutting properly.
