I am wondering if anyone has seen a list of manufacturers that are susceptible to this. The original owner of my van had an aftermarket system installed. I would guess that these would be the most vulnerable.

It seems old-fashioned vehicles have some advantages.

Push-button entry systems, remote starters, automatic lights and dimmers, power doo-dads.......YUK!!!

My old hot-rod panel truck came with solenoid door locks, and I had nothing but problems with those things! And if the battery went dry, you were stuck outside!!!


It's all stuff that sucks more electricity! (fun until it breaks....then it adds up quickly!!! $$$$$)

What I hate most are those dang alarms that HONK the horn when they're armed. So many times I think that some a...hole has honked at me for some unknown reason. I wish they all just flashed the lights or something...
