hi,
please excuse me if this has been discussed; i feel like surely it has at some point but i personally can not find any reference.
my backpack was stolen; car keys and address inside. i am now worried the thief can come to my house, and use my key to drive my car away.
i have a spare key at home.
the following two questions assume the frequency of the FOB/remote control are separate to the immobiliser frequency which is read by the ignition:
1. is it possible for me to change the FOB/remote frequency of my spare key/car so that the thief cannot unlock my car?
2. is it possible for me to change the immobiliser frequency so the thief can not start my car?
once i have purchased a replacement FOB/remote control and had the physical key cut to match my spare key i assume i follow these instructions to match it to the car:
remote:

immoboliser (one of):

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer_III_Key_Matching_(Separate)
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer_III_Immobilizer_Swapping_(Kessy)
i acknowledge my request to change the remote and immoboliser frequencies does not prevent the thief using my key to physically open my car; but at least he can't drive the car away.
