Car thieves are loving this $199 gadget

Car thieves have a new favorite toy: the Flipper Zero. For just $199, this little device can unlock a bunch of modern cars, including Fords, Audis, and Kias. Hackers are selling special patches that let the Flipper clone your key fob’s signal—no smashing windows needed. Automakers are scrambling to patch things up, but there’s no easy fix yet. If you’ve got a fancy keyless car, you might want to dust off that old steering wheel lock! #Cars #CarHacking #FlipperZero

The flipper zero can do a LOT more than just unlock vehicles. But you have to know what you are doing and have the proper attachments. It's a neat little device.

Install a hidden kill switch to the battery. cars don't start if the starter gets no juice. hid it really good.

I'm thinking about getting one, I'm sure it could give a ton of data. I'm an auto tech, any extra obtained data is good
