Disabling 322 Comfort Access System via Coding?
Hey Guys!
I want to buy a used car and this car has the Perfect spec for me - except the Comfort Access System! I am living in a Region where Cars & NBT Navs are Stolen often because of hacking the Comfort Access... So now I am looking for a solution for disabling the Comfort Access and enjoying the car to the fullest! Could anyone say smth to this topic? Does it work to edit the FA and remove the SA code 322 from the FA? Any Known issues After doing this? Thank you all in advance! |

So here's something to think about: with comfort access, there's no place to insert the key - it just needs to be inside the passenger compartment. If you defeat comfort access, how will you start the car? The same would be true if you used the RF shield that was mentioned in this thread.
The thieves are using a device to capture the RF signal by getting close enough to you to pick up that signal with a device about the size of a laptop bag. And even in cars without comfort access, they can pick up the lock/unlock signal when pressing the appropriate button on the key fob. No really good solution here other than being aware of your surroundings and anyone walking around with a laptop-sized bag or briefcase.

Most thefts associated with RF repeaters are when the car is parked at home or at work. RF shields are intended as RF secure storage for the fob when it's not in use, not as carry cases.

I want to disable Comfort Access which means opening the car with the door handles, without using the buttons on the key. Keyless Start is not disabled then! Until I found a possible Solution, I will store the key in a shielded box or smth similar... |

In order to open the car with the door handles you have to unlock it, which you need to do either with comfort access or the actual key, drivers door only. Once in the car you need comfort access activated to start the car.
If you're really concerned about theft have a hidden ignition kill switch installed. Then if they get in the car they won't be able to start it, or even tow it. |

You don't need Comfort Access. The Comfort Access System is ONLY for opening the car. The Keyless Start is an other system within the car. If you order a F-Series car w/o Comfort Access you also got Keyless Start. So this are two different systems! |

I thought modern comfort access keys where now coded so they turn off after so many minutes of not moving and only reactivate when picked up again, so leaving your key inside near the front door of the house cant be picked up by a coding thief outside your front door.

I'm sure it can't just be this simple, but can't you just take the battery out of the key fob? Use the actual hidden key to unlock the car, and hold the key fob to the steering column to start the car? Isn't that system designed to work if your key fob battery is dead? I suppose you can't activate your alarm that way though.

And I'm not sure whether this was also introduced in the F-models. I think it didn't. |
