Hello:
Have a new 2004 Accord.
Was wondering about the micro-chip keys that now come with the Accord, and I guess many other new cars also.
Are they really effective in preventing theft (other than someone actually towing the car away), or are they, and the ignition, relatively easily circumvented ?
Am particularly curious, as, if they are so effective, how is it that the Accord is one of the most stolen cars, apparently, out there ?
Is it just the older models before the micro-chip technology came into being for the newer ones (not sure of the year when first implemented) ?
Would be most appreciative for any thoughts on this.
Should I still use "The Club," or totally unnecessary now, and "might" just draw unwanted attention to the car? Opinions ?
Much thanks, Bob
