"lockpicking" a car remote opening device

[Scientist]

How does such a car remote opening device work?
Is it possible to brute force the code for the car?

Try this one and see the whole website, http://www.techtrainproductions.com/techtrain/store/Specials.html. You can do something like "Gone in 60 seconds" movie. Have fun.

The best thing to do would be to open up the remote of yours or a friends car and look for a set of DIP switches. These decide the code transmitted by the remote. Find a car of similar make and model and try different codes and see if you get much luck. :cool:

P.S. You would probably want to write down the original code on the remote so you can change it back. :)

I think it is possible to have a cpu trigger a substitude for these dip switches, then you just have to bush the botton, and waith while the cpu works it way torugh all the combinations, and sooner or laiter the car will open
