A lot of higher end cars are now coming out with RF fobs that unlock and start the car. There is no longer a physical key that is inserted in the ignition. It turns out that for BMW this means stealing the cars is extremely easy for a sophisticated criminal. We always liked the idea of metal keys that ALSO had a chip in them. The two-tiered security system makes sense to us, and would have prevent (or at least slowed down) the recent rash of BMW thefts that are going on in the UK. So here’s the deal. A device like the one seen above can be attached to the On- Board Diagnostic ( ODB) port of the vehicle. It can then be used to program a new keyfob. This of course is a necessary feature to replace a lost or broken device, but it seems the criminals have figured out how to do it themselves. Now the only hard part is getting inside the car without setting off the alarm. According to this article there are ultrasonic sensors inside which are designed to detect intrusion and immobilize the vehicle. But that’s somehow being circumvented. You can check out a keyfob programming demo, as well as actual theft footage, after the break. Fob programming demo Theft video [ Thanks Lee].

Cheating in video games involves a video game player using non-standard methods to create an advantage or disadvantage beyond normal gameplay, in order to make the game easier or harder. Cheats may be activated from within the game itself (a cheat code implemented by the original game developers or created by third-party software (a game trainer) or hardware (a cheat cartridge). They can also be realised by exploiting software bugs, but if it is really cheating is also matter of common knowledge. Software bugs are very often considered software features and as long as they are common knowledge, it is questionable whether it is cheating.

The first cheat codes were put in place for play testing purposes. Playtesters had to rigorously test the mechanics of a game and introduced cheat codes to make this process easier. An early cheat code can be found in Manic Miner, where typing 6031769 (based on Matthew Smith's driving licence) enables the cheat mode.[1] An early trainer for a game was for Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (1981 within months of its release at least two commercial products appeared.[2] 1983 advertisements for The Great Escape Utility, a similar product for.
The Patented OBD2 interface is the ultimate compliment to our performance software.
