I think if thieves really want your car it doesn't matter what kind of alarm you have they'll get in it and drive off with it. If they can't get it started then they still can tow it away. This is why we pay for insurance right?

...with regular remote steeling a car is still a two step process...you can get the door open with the wireless key but then you still have to start the car somehow. With CA, when you hit on the key to open the door, you then just start the car with the start button...or am I missing something?

Still a two step process. The system will determine if the CA fob is inside the car until you are able to start it! A couple of sensors pick up where the fob is (inside or outside). You can't start the car with the fob outside, or unlock the vehicle from outside with the fob inside.

If someone wants the car, they will take it. I do wonder on the merits of the capability as the radio frequency, the type of encryption needed would be something that most hoods would not have at their disposal.

A little reality check here.
We live in the world of reality not a Mission Impossible movie set. Most likely if the thief has the brain power to pull of a theft of this capacity most likely they are going to have a job working at Microsoft, IBM, or Apple.

They want it? Take it. Just dont let the cops ever find it again. I dont want it back after they've stolen it and driven the @&*$^ out of it. I'll put in a claim for a 550i.
