coded keys and little plastic not coded key?
Some time ago I saw a story on 60min or 20/20 about people stealing a car with a coded key system like we have. Pretty much the trick was to order a replacement key from a dealer using a VIN code. They are not supposed to do this but I guess it happens. (also see: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4265482/)
Now the question. When I don't want to take the key fob I use the little plastic key to lock and also start the car. I doubt that the little plastic key has the coding chip in it (or am I wrong?). Do you guys know how this would work with the plastic key, is the car still protected with the coding? Thanks.
