    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.
