Re: [T3] Gene Berg Locking Shifter, my view


<x-charset iso-8859-1>I agree with the security issue, I have a Berg locking shifter. The last
thing I want to happen is some low life that wants my car phones the
supplier of the security system and gets the key/password/code/ whatever to
defeat it!!!

 But having proof of purchase to get the key/password/code for my security
system and having a new one on its way in no time, that is close to
priceless.

Just my view of an important issue to me. Too much of me is my toys.
