Underground developers are selling Flipper Zero “car unlock” packages for hundreds of dollars, complete with a PDF listing targeted makes and models and whether the hack enables only door unlocks or full start/drive.

Can do with a 100 dollar flipper zero? Maybe I should get one of those instead of paying VW 400.00 to replace my broken fob.

    They're $200, no?

    But the firmware that can do this:

    A) Still desyncs your real fob

    B) Still has to read a signal from the fob, you'd have to do that before your OG broke.

    C) Costs like $2000, is serial locked to two flippers, and is being sold sketchily by a guy recently released from prison who has no accountability not to scam you.
