Owners of Nissan or Infiniti vehicles, Nissan’s luxury division, are being targeted by thieves in Wisconsin. By using a handheld scanner that plugs into the OB2 port under the steering wheel, a thief can reprogram a dummy key fob, start it, and drive away in just 40 seconds.

Dash camera footage of an officer arriving on the scene of a suspected theft attempt. Security cameras above the parked cars caught the thief breaking in through the sunroof, using a scan tool to reprogram a key fob, and then speeding away—initiating a chase with the officer.

Another thief in the Infiniti next to the car that sped away made a silent getaway, no alarms included. Thieves made off with the Infiniti, which belonged to Austin Washington. He felt his skin crawl watching the footage back.

“You feel violated, right?” he told WISN. “Somebody was in your car, going through your stuff, and then stole your car… I thought I was doing everything right with the information I knew about vehicles. I had no idea about these FOB re-programmers.”

A locksmith named the most vulnerable cars and why

Nissan and Infiniti cars have been targeted lately because they start immediately after being reprogrammed. Itay Rahamim, a vehicle locksmith in the area, says vehicles from 2007 to 2017 by Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, Acura, Dodge, Chrysler, Lexus, and Toyota don’t have wait times after reprogramming.

Therefore, they’re incredibly easy to steal if they have the right tools. Vehicles from Ford or GM, he says, are much harder to steal successfully due to a programmed delay.

Rahamim and officers say there are ways to stay one step ahead of thieves, however. Plenty of aftermarket companies make lock boxes to put over the OB2 port, or a simple wheel lock would make steering the car impossible. Or, there’s always having a kill switch hidden in the car.

“You got to try to stay a step ahead of the criminals,” Washington said, thankful to have his car back. Police found his Infiniti a few blocks away, abandoned.
