Re: [doc] lockzilla

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a quick note: the OEM module has several serious design flaws. Do 
not rely on one, even if everything apparently works. If you buy a car 
with a lockzilla in it, then don't worry about removing it (although you 
could probably sell it on ebay for more than we charge to upgrade an OEM 
one!).

We've seen stacks of burned out solenoids now - in fact my own car is 
the only one I've ever seen that didn't have at least some evidence of 
heating of the solenoids. I've even seen the internals of a door that 
caught fire because of the solenoid. Food for thought.
