Camry and Accord just got the award for Most Stolen Cars in 2000
Aint that just lovely? I love it........ Since I know me and many others are camry and accord haters.
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/2001...olen_cars.html
What I want to know is I dont know how they are stealing the camry and accords cause I believe they have the same coded keys like we do in our maximas. I mean I know the coded key thing aint the best protection, but to me I dont know how to get around it unless I know the wiring inside out to know how to bypass it.
But even then most aftermarket installers still dont bypass it by splicing two wires, they still use a bypass unit that requires you to keep one of your keys in it.
Interested yet intriguing.

The statistics are very misleading though. The numbers are not adjusted for the # of cars of that type registered in that area. For example I drive about 80 miles a day in the Detroit Metropolitan area and I rarely see any Maximas in my drive. I'd take this to mean there aren't that many of them in my area (which I believe to be correct) and sure enough the Maxima isn't even on the list for my area. However if we go to Nassau-Suffolk, NY where I see piles and piles of Maximas everytime I'm out there on business (which is nearly weekly) and viola it's' #3 on the list.
So all we have is the government wasting money to conclude that the cars that sell the best in an area are stolen the most in that area.
No Kidding...

But I still want to know how these fools steal a car with the coded key systems?
I mean I looked at the ESM and it looks impossible to sit there and "hot wire" a bypass for it.

Thanks for posting this Big Dog, interesting....i was thinking along the same lines as stereodude. Big Dog maybe some of these cars are stolen by force or maybe they look for keys under the car or somethig. But that can't be all the time. Some car thiefs aren't very smart but i'm sure there are many that have hook ups and then there are the ones that are intelligent and have the know how. Many some of those stats are for older model cars and some of the keys aren't the ones you are taking about the coded ones, reason I say this is because i don't remeber seeing the model year for the cars. But anyways interesting stuff. Thanks again for posting this.

I am looking clearly at the ESM and spent over 1hr on it and as far as I am concerned their is no way to bypass it, otherwise if there way, most aftermarket alarm installers would chose that method instead of buying a bypass unit and having to install a key in there permanently for a remote-start system.
But then again, I heard on the local DC forum that someone's 2000 Lexus GS300 got stolen, that also has a "coded key" system. So I dont know how that happened.

Speaking of keys under cars
It's funny that you say that about keys under cars. The other night I followed a car that clearly had keys hanging on a wire underneath it.Hehe, my lights were reflecting off of them and stuff. I wonder if I had rolled the windows down if I could of heard them?

The article says: "The 1989 Camry led the way for the fourth year in a row, followed by 1990, 1991 and 1988 versions. Honda's 1994, 1996, 1990 and 1995 Accords placed fifth, sixth, eighth and tenth, respectively."
I'm guessing the chip-ignition system wasn't in place for those model years. I don't know this for a fact, however.
...not that our's are invulnerable though. I'm sure professional rings use tow trucks and crooked valets to get em. But at least we'll keep the amateurs from grabbing em.
