What's that in the photo? What kind of lock? It looks like a washer.

I believe it has a ignition interlock so it can't be started without the key, but cars are often stolen strictly for parts so they really don't need to start it. Even so, I'm sure clever thieves have found a way around this to be able to get the car started without the intelligent key.

My car cannot be stolen, at least not taken more than a few feet. I have LoJack with their early warning feature. That means as soon as someone attempts to move or raise the car without me (or my fob) in it, I am immediately called to confirm if it was me. If I say no or I don’t answer the cops are quickly summoned and told where the car is located.

It cost me $850 for the one-time installation, but my insurance company (USAA) gives me an annual discount that has now fully paid for the device.

The car with no other mods to it can be stolen. If they have a consult (the nissan computer) then all they need is access to the port and a key to reprogram and there ya go. The horn wires could have been cut to break into the car so u dont hear anything. I know the maxima's were easy to do this way. Dont know if the G37 horn wires are easy accessed or not.

Betty, If you look at the photo the smaller piece with the square in it looks like what is in the door to unlock the car.. the second piece i dont know could be a washer that the first piece fits in?

It's not the bling pro perk, it's the scavenger pro perk... Get it right. Hahaha

Just equip yourself with marathon pro, lightweight pro, and commando pro.. you would be able to run at full speed without getting tired and as soon as the car stops you can stab the crook from 2 blocks away. Why not run around with FMJ Rangers so you can headshot from across the map.. lol
