Woops! M3 / MS3 Kick & Grab Flaw

Hang on to you stuff....

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/19/m...-to-break-ins/

ps. 30 min later opps again. Looks like the link to explaining possible illegal behavior has already been deleted.

Story was that there's an easy, yes, silly easy way into the interior of any locked Mazda 3 that Mazda has been researching after customer breakins have been reported, but so far Mazda is refusing a recall to provide symtomatic relief. Hope they get it together and step up to the plate.

Oh shytnit.. your right forgot he got one to ><!
Well we can always tell them "you have keyless entry now"
Kinda disapointed that Mazda didnt make this a recall issue (as of yet). Hopefully the Autoblog and I'm assuming a Mazda3 forum will pick this up and make a stink about it so it turns into one.

Somehow I see someone going to a dealerships lot late at night and doing this to all the cars and leaving the door open, to get the point across

back in the early 90 I had a 323 and with its key I was able to open a couple of my friends mazdas, a 323 and a 626, and my girlfriend at that time had an mx-6 and I could open it as well with a little effort

I used to have a lot of fun opening theyr cars and hiding to see theyr reaction when they found theyr cars open
