Best Anti-Break-in Alarm?

[jeff kushner]

Funny....no race mentioned or implied and no one said I was wrong.....yet someone plays the race card....so typical!

Maybe the card-holder needs to check reality instead of viewing the world though those pretty rose-colored glasses.

Why didn't you use the keypad?

The code was probably still in the glove box.

If you have the keypad, I just use the same code from car to car. Since you can program your own.

I've had keypad entry in the folloiwng cars:

81 T-Bird
93 Bronco (installed from a Merc Sable as the Bronco didn't have it that year)
01 Explorer
05 Freestar
06 Monterey
15 Expedition

I just program the same code into the next car when I get it. I'm not even sure what actual factory code is on my current cars.

I will say that I rarely use it as much now that I have a working fob. But my fobs tend to fail after a few years even with battery changes. But the other day I did leave my keys in the ignition when I thought I had removed them. I locked the car up and walked off. I then felt up my pocket and knew they were missing. I went back to the truck, keypad'd my way in and there were the keys. If it hadn't been a keypad vehicle, I would have had to call the wife or AAA. I love the keypad and I'm surprised that Ford is the only it seems that still is using it.

I never used any of the keypad on any Fords I ever had. I keep a spare key and fob stored in the gas tank pod. It's in a sandwich bag and taped with duct tape. Total convenience and not even visible when door is opened. No calling ex wife, mother, AAA, or anyone else.

Not sure how that is more convenient or easier than using one key fob to work on all your ford cars or knowing codes on keyless pads or even putting codes into your phone, or adding the same extra code to all keypads so the same code opens all your cars.

Fob is easier than the pad, plus a conveyer belt takes me out to my car.

The keypad on all my Fords has been programmed to the same code. Set the first afternoon of ownership on each one. Memorized very long ago. Practically inconceivable that someone wouldn't do this. Handy in the garage (ultimate theft deterrence) in my bathrobe when the truck got "butt locked."

There have also been a couple of times in brutal cold with my non-remote start cars that I wanted the engine running with the car locked. Keypad works well in that application too.

you told him to move to a "non-infested, human area"....his profile says he lives in Atlanta....a well-known predominantly black city...maybe...just maybe...you strongly implied the city he lives in is infested with non-humans...implying black people are an infestation and/or non-human

sometimes when you talk like an *******, people think you're an *******....maybe you thought you were being cute but there's definitely an implied feeling in your post, as there have been in many of your past posts.

maybe you need to check reality and ask yourself why that race card keeps showing up on your posts? you are the problem....

Yet you mention Baltimore instead of a rural town where crime is exploding.

Yawn.

Everybody hears his (and others) dog whistles. Don’t sweat him and his low info opinions.

Yep, high black population or race itself as implied isn’t the cause for higher crime. It is average household income, density, and upbringing that determines crime rates and certain races are more likely to have grown up under poorer circumstances. Just to set the geographical point straight with actual data crime is lower in Rural and Suburban areas. Cities and Metropolitan areas do have more Aggravated Assault, Rape, Murder/Manslaughter, and Property crimes per capita.

Yet violent crime in urban areas has been declining for decades while violent crime in rural areas as well as opioid addiction has been skyrocketing over the past few years.

We put a lot of societal focus and funding into urban crime prevention and improvement since population is denser so it gets a lot of attention....I agree as a society we should give the same attention to rural areas to help improve their crime situation too. Seems a lot of folks get left out of the spotlight and ignored just because they live in rural areas :/

There’s only so much revenue cities can funnel to rural communities. At some point those communities need to hold themselves accountable and operate within their own means.

I agree, accountability always matters.

 

[JExpedition07]

You wouldn’t by any chance have bias against rural individuals in primarily red areas would you? Boy would that be ignorant.....People are people and town or city every individual in a state matters the same and contributes to the economy.....a state is a state. It almost seems you don’t believe so and judge more on geography. Same could be said for social programs funded by tax payers. Corporations and wealthier individuals can only funnel so much funds to these programs. One could say those dependent on such programs need accept accountability for their position and learn to be more self sufficient.....What about those who are disabled etc?

Nope. Just laying out facts.

I’m very glad my tax dollars and charitable donations support poor rural red areas.

Oh well that’s good to hear, I’m
happy to contribute where I can to poor urban blue areas as well

Unless you live in a rich part of a blue city that’s not happening...at least not from a tax standpoint.
