Proximity entry for me has been very meh, in the winter it seems like I need to nearly hug my door before it recognises me and unlocks. As far as theft, if there's a will there's a way. This is partially why we pay insurance.
As long as they've made vehicles with locks, thieves have been figuring out how to steal them. Your manual tranny jeep just has a different thief out there working on a solution as we hang out on this forum.Mine is a manual. No worries for me!
Stick shift = Anti- Millennial Theft device!Mine is a manual. No worries for me!
Am millennial, can stick shift with the best of them.
My son in 16. What is that? Post millennial? He can drive stick because he has an awesome dad who taught him on a brand new wrangler.
Quoted from the article - I think this is the bigger issue. While it is possible for thieves to use fancy devices, I know 3 people that have had cars stolen because they left the keys in them. I would love to know the number of cars stolen with the keys in compared to any other method. Heck, I've heard of people picking up hitchhikers and then leaving them in the running car while they run into a store, only to return to their car gone.
Problem with insurance companies is they take risk into account so if something is easier to steal risk goes up along with your rates.
