Yeah I got that Brendan, hence the comment below the original. I initially thought he had a 2011 because I didn't read the post properly. But thanks for correcting me. Following up, while we are nitpicking I would like to point out I have been a locksmith for 18 years but only really been involved in automotive for the last 2 years and I am still learning. However your comment about cutting communication till ignition is on shows how little you must actually know. I even called a couple of locksmith mates to double check and I think you are full of crap. Every car I have done to this point has required me to make the physical key first and turn the ignition on before my scan tool could communicate. And my other locksmith mates confirm have to do the same. So you either use different diagnostic tools than the rest of us in which case please feel free share your secrets with the rest of the industry. Also your comment about authentication to access security system via OBD is a lie. If you can program an RA rodeo in under 5 mins without the security pin you must be the greatest who ever lived. Most Opel cars require a pin, Ford require the incode/outcode process to program which is also "authenticating via OBD" Please feel free to leave your business name on the forum here so I can pass on how awesome your locksmith skills are, maybe we could learn from you. I might be wrong, you may be as good as your post claims. But I doubt it. If your gonna re-quote me and point out a technicality be prepared to back it up with genuine knowledge. Just to remind you here is what you wrote "What I am surprised about is how car manufactures are going about making cars "secure" by complicating the keys, a good start would be cutting communication to the OBD until the ignition is turned on, or even having some type of authentication via OBD to get access to the cars computers.. " I really hope you can put me back in my place and you will get nothing but respect from me. But based on that one simple sentence of yours mate I think you are full of crap!
