A new and custom firmware for the popular Flipper Zero multi-tool device is reportedly capable of bypassing the rolling code security systems used in most modern vehicles, potentially putting millions of cars at risk of theft.
I once tried to record / replay my FIAT keyfob with my F0, and it did unlock the car once. Then I spend a bunch of money having the remote lock replaced.
I’d like more evidence that this works reliably before attempting the same thing again…
Potentially misunderstanding but that’s exactly what this is, right?
You recorded the code for a given unlock (I’m assuming out of range of the vehicle), replayed it, the car then rolled the code on to the next one and your replayed code was no longer valid and your existing fob didn’t know to rollover too, so was left out of sync.
So yes I guess there’s the risk it hasn’t been implemented correctly, but adds the necessary functionality you were missing to accomplish this before.
Though it would still leave the fob out of sync, in theory I feel like it could be possible for the flipper to send the necessary information to allow the fob to be resynchronised too. Of course someone would need to write this functionally

So you’re saying if you don’t like someone you can unlock their car once. Sit back as they have a shitty day and are forced to replace their key fob.
Then you can unlock their car one more time and their shitty day repeats itself.
