Hi everyone! Yes - you can also disable your key fob. Check the video description for link to that video. Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!
Have to also realize vehicles are stolen, not just out of our driveways... but at places we shop like Costco or shopping malls...
Your final suggestion sounds like the best overall!
It's amazing that modern "computers with wheels" don't have better encryption to block "can bus" and copying of fob attacks.
Good info. Thanks.
Best security system that I've found and currently use all of the time is the Mossberg 12 system. Gives great peace of mind.
I have a Faraday pouch. 2 actually. One for spare fob as well. I wish the car companies would come up with some system to prevent this. Also for catalytic converters. Like a solid cover for it.
The police say its all about layering deterrents, like the suggestions in this vid, plus the faraway pouch, turning off the fob, parking in well lit areas, etc. the more the merrier. Thanks for the tips. Cheers.
Hi Marcello, do you have any thoughts about tag tracking systems? My insurance company just called to let me know this is going to be required on my Highlander.
In the UK and Europe the access to the Canbus underneath the headlights via the front fender has been a problem. Toyota are now fitting Canbus metal covers to prevent access. Had mine done on my rav4 phev prime back in November.
I live right beside Maple Toyota. What is this immobilizer you speak of and can you guys install it for me on my 4Runner?
Engine Immobilizer like IGLA and StarLine
Expensive-but honestly bulletproof. But step 1 keep it in the garage. Just takes one day outside to cause havoc
I went with the most cost effective route and got a 6 speed manual transmission as a thief deterrant.
Haven’t had to worry about having my Sienna stolen because I haven’t been able to find one to purchase!
Faraday box. Get one…
An air tag hidden in the vehicle is also good to have. You'll be able to track down the location of the vehicle in the case it is stolen.
Thank you for the info. Was just wondering why you didn't mention having your key in blocking box since that same idea helped you with first attempt. We keep our keys in box when not driving.
What kind of blocking box?
One more - ask your dealer to disable the smart key system (hook up tool to OBD port and set it). This way the car is not actively seeking signal sent from the key. You have to open the door old fashioned way by pressing the unlock button on the key fob!
Hi there, great video! Funny story, my wife thought your name was “Mark Cello” lol…
Would installing an igla anti-theft immobilizer impact your toyota manufacturer warranty?
That’s odd….. yes it would if something were to happen to the electrical system etc. But it’s a risk you take. Igla
Is very reputable
you need to teach people how to disable the fob (Hold LOCK, press Unlock 2x). I think only Toyota have that feature on the fob. I try no other brand have that feature.
The steering lock I use it between the button so even they cut the top they also need to cut the bottom even they cut both of them, it's har dfor them to use the steering after.
I wonder if Toyota fix the Headlight CAN injection attack.
The only way to prevent theft for push start cars are having an IGLA system even though its gonna be costly but thats the only way you can protect your car from getting stolen right now at the moment...
Had a friend who swore by the club early 80s Buick rear wheel drive car they just picked up the rearend with a wrecker and off they went in 2 minutes car was never recovered..

Interesting that disabling the “always on” key FOB proximity didn’t make your list. Doing so does save the battery but you lose the convenience. It does prevent someone from hacking into your FOB and may make the most sense at home.
I have a video on this as well. Check it out. It’s a good initiative but not better than first 4 I mention. They sometimes don’t need your key fob signal and just the VIN will do
Hey Toyota Workd
You forgot to mention that special key fob cases that blocks transmission.
Keyless entry and push button start are both unnecessary gimmicks, I wish car manufacturers would stop doing it.
It's technology.. neither you or I may not like it but it here to stay.
@@cliffm8112 Is it though? Car manufacturers do actually listen to their customers, hence why some initially put various controls in the touch screen, but are now reverting back to buttons. If a technology makes expensive cars easier to steal and they don’t do anything to resolve that then customers will look elsewhere.
No those are both great features. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they're unnecessary.
@@Nayr747 How are they “necessary”? Could people not get into their cars and start them before these features were introduced? Of course they could, people managed just fine for over a century!
You might like them, but they definitely aren’t “necessary”!
@@ffotograffydd Having a car isn't necessary either so I guess we should just stop making them according to you.
A small plumbing hacksaw can cut through the steering wheel in 30 seconds with no noise. Look up on RUclips on how they’re stealing RAV4’s through the driver side front fender wheel well. It’s shocking to say the least.
True, but not every single thief will carry a plumbing hacksaw. I have an internal garage fortunately.
@@johnmartin7158 depends what kind of thief it is. If they’re targeting specific cars, it’s a theft ring and trust me they carry the little tools that they need including fusible links that customers pull out of their cars to prevent the car from starting.
It is simply VIN, not VIN number because if you expand the acronym saying this way, you’d be saying vehicle identification number number.
My friend just had his 2022 rav4 stolen after driving it from the us to Montreal CA for a trip, apparently they have 26 cars stolen a day in montreal
car theft is high in Canada, it is getting worse in the usa too
Bro no F way a RAV 4 got stolen?!!
@@everydayfun9531 yup! Wild times
they have the ability to steal any car and police know it. @@robm.8772
I have heard the RAV4 can be stolen by accessing the headlight and opening the doors via the canbus, no key required. Has the security fault been fixed, and if so, from which MY?
Does it even apply to a RAV 4 that isn't a Push start button but thay gets started from a key itself?
@everydayfun9531 I am not sure, Google RAV4 Stolen and you will see RUclips video with Blue RAV4.
Great question! No dealership or even Toyota Canada is willing to answer this question. This needs to be addressed. Hope the federal government will require them to fix these issues. Canbus hacks are fast and easy way for crooks to steal RAV4s. They allow the electronic control module that operate the headlights to give a command to the ECM that starts the car.
Does it void the warranty if something happen after installing the engine immobilizer
Depends on the dealership.
Ideally, you get it installed by the Toyota dealership (if they offer such services)
Maple Toyota offers it.
Had a TAG installed on my Toyota. Insurance insisted or I could not be insured.
An aftermarket immobilizer will be MUCH better than "the Club". There is no doubt in my mind that it will take hours to saw through a club. A sawsall would cut through the steering wheel in about 10 seconds.
Manufacturers need to do a better job! Need a way to disable keyless entry and push button start. Go back to normal keys with the micro chip. Also the data port they use to program a new key needs better security software. Like a minimum time window of 4 hours to copy a new key. Just my opinion.
Then there's the Toronto police telling people to just make it easy for thief's to steal the key fob if they break in to your home
I didn't know people stole vehicles in Canada.
🙏🏽
Why didn't you bring up Toyota's Engine Immobilizer Anti-Theft System, found in specific models like the RAV4 Hybrid XLE Premium? Is there an insinuation that these 'security' features might be susceptible to exploitation by skilled thieves, suggesting that Toyota's promotion of them is merely a marketing strategy?
I disable the key
Faraday, signal blocking box.
This wheel lock will only stop the theft for only two mins.
They can steal any care now, they have technology to get in, and steal any car. Not just toyota's. I saw them do this, and it only takes a few minutes. They have steering wheel bypass as well.
Why don't you talk about what Toyota could do to help prevent car theft?? Why aren't these immobilizers standard in new vehicles?
Auto manufacturers don't care about auto theft, as long as they don't stand out from other manufacturers. Your vehicle gets stolen, shipped to Africa, insurance pays for another vehicle and the manufacturer has another sale....
BTW, consensus is that it takes less than 30 seconds to cut through a steering wheel with a hacksaw, less with a cordless angle grinder.
The reason why they don't care about auto theft is cause they want their Cars to get sold off the Lot the dealership itself and that's one way they make alot of money and I believe the Dealers and the thieves themselves are in on this both parties are liable!
Park your car in your garage!
Just buy the LE model and you get a real key!
Yes but most ppl don't want the LE model
Lol glad to have the LE model of the RAV 4 with a Key ignition system don't even need an immobilizer for that cause these idiots can only bypass a push start car and not a key ignition system but dosent mean that you shoudnt underestimate them cause they got their own tricks of their own sleeves aswell.
