Car Insurance Companies Believe the Security System Hype
US carmakers and auto-mobile insurers are unshakably certain that vehicles protected by “transponder immobil-izers” can’t be driven without the proper keys – or, at least, that circumventing those transponder systems takes more sweat and money than most auto thieves are willing to expend. So car companies advertise their security systems as unbreakable, insurers and consumers believe these assertions, and then folks like Wassef find themselves engaged in all-out war when their cars vanish.
Another example of consumers getting the shaft. If a thief really wants your ride, they are going to take your ride. These new systems only give your insurance company a reason to deny your claim.
