Spare Motorhome Keys

I've just been in touch with our local Timpsons and they say they can provide a replacement key for £60.00!! including reprogramming. Quite a difference to Fiat's £300.00. Does anyone know anything of Timpson's service regarding smart keys?

Only that they have done it at some of their outlets for a while

And we all know insurance companies talk cr4p

I don't wish to give anyone sleepless nights, but if a professional gang want your car/motorhome then if it only has a smart key and not a physical metal key then it's very easy for them. This is thanks to Can-Bus. that can be hacked by getting access to the cables. Guess what. most modern vehicles have plastic covers on the electric wing mirrors with said wiring inside. 

Got this info from a friend who has a business in the auto security industry.  

I think you will find no CANBUS wiring inside of the wing mirrors, just bog standard wires isolated from the CANBUS.

CANBUS wiring only go so far as the modules and the nearest would be the door module, safely out of reach unless opened in which case might as well use the diagnostic socket.

I'm only passing on what I was made aware of by someone who is involved in countering such measures? Can Hi & Low run in to many parts of a vehicles electrical system, not necessarily only in the passenger compartment,   although your correct in saying they only connect between nodes/modules/ecu's etc. I think you'll agree that anything can be hacked nowadays if you have the knowledge, software and hardware to do it. 

Easy now a days to fool the canbus, just need a live, Earth and signal wire. Which is about any wire not earth or live !!

gismo, computer Bluetooth smart phone and your in the vehicle.

it seems that expensive smart key car owners are reverting back to buying kroklocks to lock the steering wheel for the car, as the smart keys are a pretty dumb way to secure a car.
