So this information is from a shop that is making money selling add-on anti-theft devices, but they have no idea how the thefts are occurring? I’d take that with a grain of salt.My post was not to tell anyone what to or what not to do, just to provide information on how the system works. To your point, if we don’t know how these thefts are occurring, it may be a complete waste of money to install an aftermarket system that is not needed.After thinking it over, one possibility I’ve considered is they are simply using ForScan with an extended license, which allows for key programming. All they need to do is find an unlocked/unarmed vehicle, start a key-off session, and gain security access. If that is the method being used, it can be prevented by locking/arming the truck.
