The other week my mates 135i BMW parked outside his house was emptied of its contents i.e ipod, wallet and a laptop from the boot. He knows he shouldnt have kept all that s**t in there but hey he thought it wouldnt happen to him

anyway he got up in the morning unlocked the car as usual and found the contents gone, no damage at all and strange it was locked

I have read a bit about key cloning but there is not much detail online. For obvious reasons I suppose

Anyone else heard of this?

I have sent him the links thanks

I have another mate who has a brand new 6 series and he has an iphone app which tracks it and he can start and stop it remotely, he said you need the incar bmw live system activated which isnt activated on the 135i
