Default Just a thought....

Being one of the less technically minded members of the board (and obviously having far too much time on my hands) I was wondering:

If at Supermeet 3 all the S2000's are lined up and someone points their remote locking device at the 60+ cars, what are the chances of more than one car responding?

That's a thought alright!! I remember when I were a lad (dinosaurs ruled the earth etc.) the Ford Escort of the era had about 20 unique keys, and you could pretty well guarantee to find another Escort you could open with your own keys in a suitably large car park.

It'd be great to find out there's a modern equivalent!

I doubt it with an S2K, most cat 1 alarms change codes every time you press the button, giving billions of possible codes, it might be possible, but so is winning the lottery
