It's not just the frequency, it's a digital rolling code. The code changes every time you use it.

The same odd thing happend to my brother and his new IS250. He knows he locked his car and stuff, but next morning he came out the door was unlocked, glove box tore apart, and his laptop in his trunk was missing. But when the cops came there was no sign of forced entry. He also has keyless/comfort access. And the community is gated and patrolled.

Maybe these systems have a flaw somewhere and people are picking up on it.

We was in Madrid during our European Delivery, when David Beckham X5 was stolen from mall parking.
So, it's possible.

They stamped a single letter key code in plain sight on the side of the keys and if you saw someone else's keys for a split second you could easily tell if your key would work in their car.

Hmm....not trying to be funny, but do you sleep walk? People do all kinds of things during their sleep-walking episode and not know it.

Can I ask why you joined e90post.com to ask us this when you have an X5 and a 911? Why not bimmerforums.com or something like that? Or even X-bimmers.

This "General BMW News and Cars Discussion" section is shared among all the bimmerpost forums. The OP is probably a member of the Xbimmers subsection.

You leave an iPod in your car? You should never leave any valuables in a car. What kind of alarm system do you have on your car? My insurance company would not insure my X5 unless it has an alarm system that alerts the alarm company when the vehicle is moving without its key in the ignition.

Are you sure you are not sleepwalking?

This actually sounds worrying now. I would put the X5 in the garage and get cameras put up. That would be cheaper than getting a new alarm system. Keep us updated.
