Another Experience to Share - Honda City

About 1 month ago, one of my friend's Honda City was broken into at Mid Valley Gardens and a laptop stolen. This was done without any visible or obvious signs of break-in. 

So how did they do it?

There are 2 things you can try to take note of:

1. check for any dents or marks on the keyhole - especially the one of your car boot. Specialist equipments are available to specifically open the boot for Honda Citys. 

2. When you use your remote, take note of the number of beeps it makes (only if it is original Cobra alarms - for Honda Citys). Your normal sound configuration for unlocking the doors should be 2 beeps. If there has been a break-in and the alarm triggered, there will be 4 beeps when you press your remote to open the door. This happens because alarms will normally disarm itself and lock the car again - after it was triggered - in about 10-15 seconds later.

These are some fine details that we should take note of.

We will continuously share any of these information as and when we come across them in the market.

A Unique Situation

Met with a unique situation late week that I thought we should share.

We had a customer of a Toyota Alphard (hmm...we have been having many toyota alphards customers in recent weeks, some must be wondering why? :) This is because, many toyota alphards are actually imported and sold second hand, such cars on many occasion come with only 1 set of keys).

This customer had problem starting his car. The ignition was dead, literally. Many mechanics went to his house to check on the car and came to different conclusion on the problem and he spent some money but still could not rectify his problem. The mechanics came to a final conclusion that it was his immobiliser that was giving problems (his was Clifford-quite a reputable brand). The clifford technicians came but still could not rectify the problem. And this was Day 4 since his ignition went dead.

We were called in on the 4th day. We manage to identify and rectify the problem (with the help of some friends plus quite a bit of luck! :) ).

It was ... THE DOG.

lol. Believe it or not. The owner's dog, a small little terrier, who loved to go beneath the car, rain or shine) also had a little hobby of biting off the wires! Incidentally, one of the wires he bit was connected to the ECU that supplied power to the fuel pump!

[we could not take photo of the situation, coz the owner was a little mad about the situation....and we understood why...]
