Ive seen that car before, Can't miss those wheels!

Ill keep my eyes open.

 

ahh that sucks hope he/she gets it back soon

 

I saw that on NWStreetRacing.com

 

damn another car that got stolen

 

should have invest in a alarm system

 

wait i thought scion had this thing where you need to key to start the car like a computer chip in the key that signals the car to start thing or the car wont start???? and if so how did they get away with the car???

 

^that's what I was wondering, but I'm sure there are ways around it bypass, master keys, etc.

 

i dont think there is a master key unless someone stole the keys from them and or left the keys in the car or left it running outside there house

 

maybe the doors weren't locked, I think you have to do that to activate the immobilizer???....I dunno, because mine has an alarm, and they had to bypass it, which sucks, but I love my remote start, lol.

 

you have to have one of the keys in the car to bypass the immobilizer. When you had your alarm installed they took the valet key and put it somewhere in the car so you can start the car remotely.

So if the stolen car had an aftermarket alarm, it could have been stolen because of it. If that makes sense.

 

so you are telling me that there is a key just sitting in my car somewhere???? because i have two master keys or what ever you want to call them that the dealership gave me.

 

you should have 2 keys with the remote built in and a valet key that just has the key with the chip in it. When you get an aftermarket alarm they will take the valet key and place it in the dash close to the ignition so that it will bypass the immobilizer. If they are smart they will destroy the key part and just have the chip in there, Otherwise you could disable the alarm, find the valet key and drive off.

 

since the valet key is in there, can the thief disable the alarm and start the car with a screwdriver?

 

yeah, that would work too.

 

hmmmmm well anyways i hope someone see this ride driving around but what i am thinking is they just want the rims and what else is in it.

 

ill be on the lookout here in chicago, lol

 

Seen it around too, probly long gone by now, watch for the wheels on Craigslist....

 

it sux to see scion gettin stolen. I hope that car turns up.

 

i had a clifford alarm in my accord. the installer did not hide/use any valet key. i didnt give them any and they never asked for any.
