i know a car 100% identical to mine except the VIN. it's driven by a high school teacher, and either of our cars can be stolen and cloned. but who wants to buy an early BMW E65? i heard they were nightmares
When you have the car inspected.. the mechanic is able to pull up the VIN number on his obd2 scanner. If he's a good mechanic..the police will be call if the number he pulls up does not match the other VIN numbers all over the car. But most mechinic are crooks themselves.
They're not crooks, they just don't consent to the illegal laws made by government crooks (the real crooks). Educate yourself and read my comment above. Only a corrupt crooked mechanic would call the police.
Also the vin will not always match the computer... there is such a thing as engine swaps. The ECM must also be swapped therefor the chassis would have a different VIN entirely
@@ndrwcarter4 Most people that replace their engine go with a factory equivalent and they don't usually need to replace the ECM. But I did have a 99 Chrysler 300m along with a parts car and they had 2 different wiring harnesses to the ECM. One was a California Emissions model and the other was not. If I had to replace the ECU, it would have had to be programmed to match the security modules in the rest of the body. Its been years since I had that car, but I think I could only have 8 keys programmed to the security system and it was verified in multiple modules. If any of them didn't match, the car wouldn't start.
And aren't in the car theft recovery business and don't even care to see if they match! And why would a Mechanic do that to his work load anyway? They scan probably hundred cars a month! Unless they have a personal reason or a red flag and really with that they worked in a gay uniform it's highly unlikely.
So if they clone it, what’s to keep the police from identifying the clone. I mean if the car looks exactly the same... So knowing the key thing(s) to look for is extremely important- that this video did not show. (A waste of information)
And in cars like Volkswagen where all the modules are linked together on a CAN bus, the VIN is programmed into each one and so is the odometer reading. A dealer or anyone with the right tool can scan all of those. Oh and BTW, those $20 scan tools that you see at Walmart and the auto parts stores don't scan all of those. Heck only the more expensive ones have any kind of ability to communicate with the ABS module. All those cheap ones do is read the codes really but they don't tell you everything, anyone who tells you otherwise is full of crap!!
@@philipandrew9542 More often than not, when you replace a component with VIN programming, that device won't work or the vehicle will be immobilized. Even used parts need to be programmed to match the VIN.
Now you know how maxicans and Hispanics are getting all these high price trucks.

Well don't be so sure. You don't know what you don't know!
You missed a spot for vin location it is also in the vehicle computer
The news tells you exactly how to continue the scams. Step by step
I got scammed, in St. Louis Missouri, I bought a 2019 Dodge Ram! It had different vin from a another truck!
Wow! That couldn't be cheap!
.... Question though. Title? Ever seen one?
Did you get compensated or is it a loss and did you lose the truck too

@@lxdimension no shit right! Why would he care? Hell for all he knows the cars computer needed replacement before and they got one out of a junkyard!
Simple...just pay with fake money...

Like u

Most cars since the 2000s also have the VIN programmed to the ECU. It can be read by most basic OBD2 scan tools.

Yeah but people have to replace them sometimes and people don't always buy new parts! So what does that really mean?

Jason Joseph Watson Makes Websites to do criminal acts like this
Every car vin is not 17 characters long. I have a 72 and 73 Chevy and the vin is 13 characters long
17 character vins became standard in 1981.
yup. I had issues registering a late 70s motorcycle because the DMV didn't know how to enter a 13 digit VIN.
So still doesn't say how do you get a title? You don't! Not this way. And if you buy a car without a title then I don't feel sorry for you.
dont buy a car thats newer then 1953 then
Record and get I'd from the person sell the car...
Can't be haha
