Car thieves beat in Bad Kissingen: Keyless-Go system cracked!

In Bad Kissingen, car thieves added to Monday night and captured an expensive vehicle! While the perpetrators in Garitz successfully stole an Audi A7 worth around 40,000 euros, they failed in Bad Kissingen themselves when trying to steal a BMW. The attentive car owner noticed the uninvited guests in time and was able to drive them out. A real thrill for everyone affected!

The thieves apparently had targeted modern technology and outsourced the so-called Keyless GO system. This system enables drivers to open their vehicles without having to hold the key in your hand. A radio signal opens the doors and switches off the immobilizer. But the perpetrators know how they can undermine the system: they capture the radio signal of the key, which is often stored directly at the front door. With a special antenna you approach the door, use the signal and can then reproduce it directly on the car.

modern technology as a gateway for criminals

The thieves' approach shows how susceptible even the latest technologies for criminal machinations are. The police warn: drivers should keep their keys safely and be aware of the dangers associated with Keyless systems. The incidents in Bad Kissingen are an alarming example of the increasing crime and the creativity of the perpetrators, which are becoming more and more sophisticated. The safety of the vehicles is at stake and everyone should be vigilant!
