How To Steal Keyless Mercedes In Under A Minute

This Mercedes is gone in 60 seconds. Got a fancy keyless car from Mercedes, Tesla, BMW or another brand? Check out this video, thieves steal a car within a minute. Wireless keys might have a range of maybe 4 meters before your car unlocks, but that doesn't mean the signal can't be boosted (relayed) and manipulated to open and start the car. Tip, you better store your key in a faraday cage like box if you normally keep it in your pocket.

Yeah Elon!

Actually, I'd do a Model 3 review in a heartbeat. Let's face it, it's like the star trek talking supercomputer shoved into a car. It's the hippest tech in the automotive industry, surely that appeals the bigger part of this audience. This stuff we could do with AfterBurner on this car !

Hope it'll happen one day: Hilbert in front of the wheel of new Tesla, Alex next to him tinkering with latest AfterBurner Beta optimized to bypass Tesla's computer temperature/power/speed limits and on the back seat Cowie and Chispy with cans of LN2 ready to OC the sh*t out of that engine

And hope that Windows XX controlling the car will not decide to install new drivers right during the ride.

PS Ten likes for the radio song suggestion.

Guys, as to the news item. It's technology, hardware hacked by software. I noticed the video and was simply flabberghasted how easy the thieves get away with such cars and decided to post it. It's a bit out of the realm of Guru3D I agree. Don't worry, we're still a PC Hardware / Gaming site

I actually enjoy these "different" news items. Keep 'em coming boss!

Yeah!, You're gonna purchase one for me then eh? I'll happily settle for the new Model 3

We have confirmation for our HH's Christmas present wish!

Ok gentlemen! Any automotive embedded software engineer's here?

Usta work in that field, and you're totally blaming the right people.

Every car will have hundreds of RTOS's running everything from the hazard lights to the oil warning light, and yes; the security too.

Someone, somewhere, just got fired.
