Remote starters, especially ones installed by Aftermarket Shops sometimes find ways to trick the ECU when there is an Engine Immobilizer. My buddy installs them and says it is common practice to tinker with the ECU when it comes to the unique RFID code in the key fob. He wouldn't give me specific details, but he did say that it wouldn't surprise him if, "a buddy of a buddy who worked at the shop was given the tip on where the car would be parked, and where it is etc... " shady garages
