Re: House risked if GPS in car
Next time i gonna set my home to the nearest police station then the thief sure scare like hell...haha lol..joking..as wad mnd bro mention last time, lock ur gpsr with the security password lo...mine 205w got this function, i dun knw others model got or not..heheadrianyujs wrote:Just heard from somewhere else, theft broke in car and steal GPS unit, the theft also smart enough, saw house key, then on GPS and click HOME, guided the theft to owner house and steal everything...
So for those who like to leave GPS unit in car, don't set HOME instead search manually... Best recommendation is take out GPS unit and house key.. ^^

Re: keep gps device in the car safe?
Bro jin1119, so what with security password, a lost GPSr still a lost. To disable the password is child's play.jin1119 wrote:*snip.... lock ur gpsr with the security password lo...
Moral of the story is : NEVER keep GPSr in unattended car.

Dear bros, discussing of "hacking" or "Cracking" is strictly prohibited here. Please respect the rule.
BTW, I got my UK handphone (Telco : Orange) cracked in Chinatown (UK). It costs me $15.00 sing. Now I can use it in SG without any problem. Cheap and good.
