Protecting Keyless Entry?
« on: May 25, 2018, 10:37:44 PM »
How are those with key less entry protecting their keys from people copying the keys signal and running off with the Jazz?

I knows its 'only' a Jazz but you never know.

If you really think your Jazz is at risk of being stolen from your home, ( must be a really rough area ) keep the keys in a metal container, a biscuit tin is one option. Any tin with a lid will do.

I do nothing. When not in use my car resides in a locked garage. But to be honest, I could, and have in the past, leave a car in my drive with the keys in it.  So glad to live in rural Dorset.

Similar here, just a bit (or a lot) to the north. It's all about location!. :-)

Wrap it in kitchen foil or a metalised crisp packet as a temporary fix.  Even the budgies cage may do it, it is called a 'Faraday cage' after the great scientist (it is the same principle as the 'see through' metal mesh door on your microwave.

Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot

Nah, I’m not in a rough area. Doubt anyone wants to nick and export a Jazz. Just wondered about best practice since I’ve seen it done on tv etc. However, the local thief’s will do it for fun once they get hold of the tech. As I wrote fun and Jazz I thought... “nah” they won’t  :P

I don't know why the remote doesn't have an on/off switch, after all there is already a slider to release the key. Something similar is needed to turn the remote off.

At some stage it gets to the point where you may as well use a key.  Some may say that it is at that point already.

What is convenient for the rightful owner is often very convenient for the criminal fraternity as well  :-X

Nothing that uses radio waves or is connected to the internet is secure,  I used to like my original Civic which used infra-red keyfob to lock and unlock doors - sensor was up by front interior lights / drivers mirror.

I take it you have not driven a 1.5 Jazz?  Floor a 1.5 and you certainly surprise a few people! :-)

Unfortunately not. Wish they had that engine in all models. I take back the fun and jazz comment - was jokey, i genuinely enjoying driving my 07 manual jazz. I push it these days and it works for me. Maybe I’m so used to driving it that i know what it can do. Anyway.... let’s hope I get to that point with the cvt.

I’d look like a boy racer type in the 1.5 sport... just didn’t fit the look I wanted.. shame.

I would prefer one without the boy racer plastic body kit but I am of an age where I don't care what others think of me. :-)

Heh. I don't think many people would want to go back. I thought it was a pointless gimmick at first but now I wish the technology would evolve to the point where I could safely use it for my house. I find the whole idea of having to use a specially shaped piece of metal to open a door archaic. And even the idea of pressing a button now seems quaint.

In any case I wouldn't consider the sport unless Honda equip it properly. As currently marketed it's the runt of the litter and the only thing it has going for it is a bit more pep. Whoop-dee-doo. There are few situations where that is useful. On the other hand climate control is useful almost every day of the year.

+1. I once had a car with a keyless system , did not like it and one reason I bought an SE. So glad the Sport does not have keyless or climate. It's a pity Honda didn't put the 1.5 engine in an SE, or maybe they did!
