Hey guys,

The weirdest thing happened to me yesterday when I was going to my car in the lot after work, everything seemed fine and dandy I saw my car pressed the unlock key using my key fob that came with the car like I always do. Anyways, the trouble begins when I got in the car and realized it was not my car. It has taupe interior and mine is ebony, at this point I'm shocked and scared out of my mind, I quickly get out of the car lock it again with my key fob and go to the other grigio tsx thats mine. Anyways how can this happen, that is how can I get into this TSX even though it does not belong to me using my key fob? I'm not sure if it would even let me start the car not that I would, I just accidentally got into somebody else car by mistake. Is this normal for our tsx key to open another tsx?

Holy crap! That's funny...not.

You were able to re-lock it with your fob too? I'm surprised. Don't we have some rolling code thing on these cars?

holy shit? no shit? lololol holy fuck that scares me

yes it is very normal for this to happen and all TSX key fobs have the ability to lock and unlock other TSX's.

just kidding haha. Yeah that is very weird and you should report this to acura? who knows someone else might do the same thing to your car and steal your belongings.

That is insanely scary......

I remember this happening to me once, but I don't remember which car. I don't think it was my TSX. It was indeed very confusing and scary. I remember getting out of the car and hoping no one saw me.

that is scary...if only it worked with a ferrari lol

Good thing it had taupe interior otherwise I may have not even noticed it and driven off the lot with it and then get pulled over by police when the guy/girl submitted a missing vehicle report... That is if the car would actually start with my key?

wow, wtf!

Are you sure the other TSX wasn't already unlocked to begin with and maybe you had your head down and heard the beep/saw the flash from your car nearby and thought it was the imposTerSX?

ed_423

woww, thats pretty funny, but suprising as well. def. contact acura

This sounds like a very probable explanation.

ttk5

Not sure, but I dont think it is possible for our TSX's to to stay unlocked for a certain amount of time. After like 30 seconds it locks the doors byitself no?

Unless the imposTerSX left his car less than a minute before you sat into his car...

lol even then he would have locked it..
dude said he unlocked it though like he normally does so he saw the lights flash when he unlocked and heard the click and hopped in

ttk5, The car should only lock itself if you unlock it but never open the door. If you got out of the car and just didn't lock it, it is not going to lock itself.

ttk5

ohhh i see

HeavyDuty

But then he said he locked it, that was with the remote, right OP?

It happened to me years ago when I was driving a Ford Probe. I went to a fast food restaurant. After I got my food I got into another probe, the same color and year as mine. It was such a disorienting and scary experience because there was trash all over the car. I was petrified and got out of there as quickly as possible. I did not want to be charged with trespassing or breaking in and entering.

The fob is not supposed to open someone elses TSX. I've been in parking lots where a another same model TL was right next to mine. My fob never opened those cars. Not that I tried ;-)

sounds like some sort of strange glitch with the computer...scary

I've had my tsx since 2006. got broken into about 3 times from 06-12. no forced entry or damage. I changed to an aftermarket alarm and same issue.

This month 3 times... I can garantee the car was locked. Im so paranoid I check all 4 doors when I leave my car for hours. last 3 times my stuff was all over the place but nothing taken. I assume they are looking for ipad or something really expensive.

How the F is this possible and what can I do about this??? if someone can help please let me know.

I wonder if someone has stolen the "code" to your car or is specifically targeting it.

holy thread revive

Harper

Holy nonsensical freaking out for an old thread that has relevant info to someone's current problem!

PyroDave

holy skanky slut on the corner of madison and west 79th street!

PyroDave

well that escalated quickly

Acura_Dude

Dave you tell that slut to PM me. She owes me money.

PyroDave

these are not the hookers you were looking for

Acura_Dude

Are you sure...?

Harper

Are you sure it's not just Dave who owes you money?

TSXy Luster

Shhh, you'll blow his undercover job.

Harper

What you did there, I saw it, then Dave pointed it out.

Ok, so our cars are being broken into. No force entry sounds like the little black box trick thats recently been getting some attention on the News Channels with the Acura MDX and TL by a surveillance/ security camera outside the guys home.

There are a few threads on here about the problem. I don't know what I'll do if someone sneaks into my TSX. I would probably hide and wait for their next attempt with a bat full of nails hammered through it!

I would also probably get a different security system with 6 live-recording cameras. Front, Rear, and then one on each side of the B pillar on both sides. Wide angle-1080p full color. Do they make them small enough to go unnoticed?
