Hi everyone!
I have been talking with a friend about new car stereos and one ossue that
he has with them is the propensity for new car radios to he stolen, even
though manufacturers are taking various measures to prevent this problem.
A lot of the thieves have worked out ways of getting around the measures
such as using "code-cracking" software to break into coded radios; stealing
removeable faceplates from display and demonstrator car stereos in stores;
amongst other methods. Sometimes, the cars are still broken into even if
there is a "cloaking" measure in place like Kenwood's MASK system, because
they often think that if the car is relatively new, it must have a flashy
car radio in it.
A lot of the time, this dissuades some people from investing in good car
sound and thus it cam cause a dint in the acceptance of new car-audio
technology. There needs to be a lot more done to make it hard for car-stereo
thieves to operate, for example encouraging people who provide car-parking
to facilitate improved surveillance of the car-parking area by improving the
lighting in that area.
With regards,
Simon Mackay
