Title: Anti-theft sticker
Post by: Wonder on May 20, 2022, 03:29:24 PM: Hello,
do you know if there are any original Honda stickers that signal the presence of the alarm and the electronic lock to be placed on the side windows of the Jazz?
I don't think I've seen any, maybe only on older cars?
Thanks for the info.
(Sorry for the mistakes I used Google translate)

We have blinking red led in instrument panel when car locked.

Post by: Wonder on May 25, 2022, 06:38:10 PM: I wanted to put the sticker just to highlight the presence of the alarm more,
but I wanted to put an original Honda sticker.
Thanks for the replies anyway.
Greetings

More sophisticated car thieves who are able steal the car itself already know which security systems Honda fit. They wont be fooled by additional stickers.

If you are concerned the car may be stolen , buy a "Faraday" bag. These stop your keys transmitting signals that can be detected by nearby criminals using special computer equipment .They can then clone' the signal to open and start your car. They could detect these signals by standing just outside your home, hotel room, restaurant table etc. The Jazz is not a favourite for these criminals, but you never know.
Here is an example. You may find something locally

Buying a Faraday bag and then fumbling with it: Faraday bag out of your pocket, key fob out, the bag back in your pocket, open the door and start.
On arrival open the door, double lock the door, put the key fob in the Faraday bag, bag in your pocket. You're safe. The key cannot be scanned and cloned.
You can also do it cheaper and differently, you don't have to buy anything. Check out page 169 here.

Here you can read how to turn off the key fob. Very simple by holding the two buttons at the same time for a few seconds. You turned off the radio wave reception. You're safe. The key cannot be scanned and cloned. More difficult than putting the fob in a bag? No. And does it take more time? No.
You saved the money for that Faraday bag and... you save the battery, which will last longer.
I've been doing it this way for over 5 years and it's become a regular habit.

....... and don't forget the spare key

Title: Re: Anti-theft sticker
Post by: Jazzik on May 30, 2022, 11:17:10 AM: We have made it a habit to ALWAYS do this when we leave the car. Day and night, even in our garage, where it is really safe behind a barrier and twice a steel door.
That seems very exaggerated, so why? Just to make it a regular habit so that you never forget!

Post by: Kremmen on May 30, 2022, 12:12:05 PM: I do the same, even though it's garaged and there is no method of opening the garage from the outside once the garage electric is off, I play safe.
