Most of us take them for granted since they have been around for awhile. But how many of us have used the remote opener to deter a criminal from trying to get access to your car. Here are some uses of applying the well known theft deterrent, noise, by using your remote control.
If you are coming out of a grocery store and happen to notice some unusual activity around your car, you can signal to the probably thieves that the owner of the car is around or that it has an automatic scanner and panic button initiator upon attempted forced entry. All you have to do is at a safe distance, hit the remote opener a few times, each hit will make the normal beeping sound. Believe me that is all it takes to send thieves scurrying especially if it is daylight. Most crooks are on edge while contemplating a crime. Their anxiety is only increased by the simple innocuous little beep of a remote car door opener.
Another way of letting parking lot thieves that someone is looking out for your car even if you are in an office for some time is to hit the remote, at least six times. It might sound amusing, but, there is nothing funny about finding that your car door won’t close because someone pried it open and broke the lock.
Never buy a car that does not have a remote car door opener. They are really the safest way of getting into your car quickly without having to fight with the key in the lock. No one driving today should be without a remote car opener.
Of course the main reason for a remote car door opener is to help us with our remembering to lock our doors. It is a time saving device as you can lock you door from within a grocery store if you suddenly remembered. Imagine having to drop everything and running out to make sure your doors are locked. The inconvenience of not having a remote car door opener is really mind boggling. And, yet, there are people out there who still rely on the conventional key entry and key lock. Of course, habits are hard to change, but a habit that can make your driving days similar and more secure is using your remote car door opener.
