I bought a P2 Myvi last November, it was the second batch of MyVi SE. Yesterday my friend's vivi SE had been intruded by someone, stealing her Pioneer CD Player worth RM 480 bought at Eneos. It makes me shiver when she explained it to me. I've searched through the internet and found there were already hundreds of such case happening. Especially in Kepong Area, priority at Kepong Jusco & Kepong Carrefour. When I tried to alert those myvi friends of mine, one of them telling that I'm so out~ He told me that he kena twice at Kepong Carrefour already. After having my own myvi tested in my garage this evening, (taking out the front tyre) I found that it really bad luck to have a Myvi.

This is what they did on the Vivis..

1) Locate the cable connecting to the front bonnet.
2) Did something on the cable.
3) Did something on the fuse box. It unlocks all the doors and disarm the alarm.
4) Dong ~ He got everything under the sun!!

After you take your car, you will notice:

1) Aircond unable to function (most common)
2) Viper not functioning
3) Signal not functioning
4) Headlights or which ever connects to the fuse box...

I don't know how many of you out there had been a victim to this case, but a sincere notice to myvians out there. Please don't leave any valuable things inside your car. You would not want to be the next victim.

omfg! is this true? die lor... d wire he pull controls d bonnet ar?

Sorry for the loss, but perhaps not a good idea to tell the whole world about how to unlock the Myvi. I suggest to take those 'steps' out just in case some of these ppl are lurking in the forums

wat steps can be taken ar?

wait...alarm won't be armed when opening the car's bonet?

Thanks for the tips.
Will try it out later with some expert helps.

Myvis are good victims bcos of their frail security system. Not to mention protongs too. All PHAIL. See those theives dare to touch bmw's or not

Kelantan Royal Porsche also they can steal..the whole car summore...

nyway...is this happen to all myvi? or just myvi SE?

You are right..considering the safety of 200,000++ myvi users on the road. I've edited the post.

it happens for all the myvi including SX,EZ,SXi or whatever model. The Porche was driven away while the car engine is on.

omg, camry then myvi.....

if alarm goes off they fuse d box fast fast lor

my friend mum's myvi got taken off from her just in front of her house. The thief just came too her and ask her to hand in her car keys.
when my friend told me this, i was damn shocked, because who would steal a myvi? Gosh.

i think first they will find the wire that connected to the car's bonnet switch and open the bonnet and disarm the alarm...

any car they can lay their hands on they ambik.. now economy suck lor.. but out of topic lar

I presumed the alarm system sucks badly, how can short circuit that cause the alarm system to power down able to unlock those doors?

Suggest myvi's owner replace with a better aftermarket alarm system to be safe.

any suggestions? and cost?

My cousin was one of the victim 2 or 3 days ago. His car sound system was fully stolen including speakers. Alarm was unlock. Case happened at his apartment at Selayang.

Never ever leave valuables in your car.. no matter you drive a merc, or a kancil with state-of-the-art alarm.

I've been hit once.. and now im VERY careful with what I have in my car.

But i noticed, thieves loves to hit local cars cause the CD player can be taken out with easy. Try taking out the CD player on a Camry, Corolla, Civic... it wont be as easy as a proton/perodua.

And also, yeah, thier alarm sucks.. no knock sensor, no movement sensor. Only available sensor is when u physically open the door

hahaha funny la u...

i see one stolen n recovered BMW -> N789 - 8 October 2007

n i see many Proton's car recovered...

so ur definition of 'ALL PHAIL' defines a successful recovery of a Proton's car huh?

I would also like to add that for smash-and-take cases, it doesn't matter where you park (busy street, shophouse, etc), when you park (daytime, nighttime), as long as there's something interesting in the car, they would take it, and nobody would stop them. Try to avoid parallel parking too, becos it's so easy for thieves to ride past on a bike and glance inside cars.

That's just 1 BMW?
