One report that I read, indicated that the signal relay equipment being used by some thieves can amplify the relayed signals (both the initial one coming from the vehicle to the keyfob with the authentication request, and the response coming back, from the keyfob) a distance of up to 300 feet in...
This will not work with the Ford Intelligent Access system in our Broncos. The authentication request sent by the vehicle module to the keyfob, is unique per instance.
Lol at all of the part time Navy seals here that think they would have somehow sprung into action from a dead sleep, and stopped this from happening. According to the victim, who posted here, it was gone in much less than the proverbial 60 seconds (closer to 30). You would still be tripping over...
Was discussing this vulnerability / exploit with a friend who works in IT security (he owns an F150, which has the same Intelligent Access system). We sent some recommendations off to Ford yesterday, via their "Idea place" web portal:
"The key (pun intended!) to reducing the efficacy of this...
True, But the methods used by the thieves are equally effective on similar access systems from other auto manufacturers, as well.
It would be great if Ford gave us the ability to just turn the Intelligent Access feature on or off, via the touchscreen menus. That would mean that the...
This is exactly correct.
I'm not sure which trims / packages DON'T include Intelligent Access, but I think that it is included in all MID and higher packages, so, most Broncos DO have it.
I printed up a couple sets of these (also in PETG) but didn't have much luck with the retention/snap feature that holds the two halves together (breakage). I'm going to draw up something similar in F360 when I get some time, and see if I can get a better result.
It's almost like there is this strange relationship between the Supply of Broncos, the Demand for Broncos, and a resulting change in the Price of Broncos...Almost like there's some sort of unwritten..... law..... or something.....
It's completely ridiculous that we can't get a Ford Performance plug-and-play "Raptor" cluster swap, by now. This is easy money for the guys at Ford Performance.
Thanks. Can you share more details on the attachment method / thumbscrews used? My main reason for wanting these is to be able to quickly switch between these and my normal flares...Need to decide if I'll wait on these.
Looks great, but I have a question: In some of the photos that you have shared here, there appears to be a rectangular cutout window for the BRONCO letters that are embossed into the dash surface, and in others, the overlay appears to be un-interrupted and just applied right over the whole...
