    YOUR “ Code Hopping “ TRANSMITTERS The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced and secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive security system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a device known as a code grabber, which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter, and retransmit at a later time to disarm your system.
