If they want it they will take !
Eveni if you put a imobilzer on it / cut out switch they will just load it on a pick up vehicle .

So your imobilzer would not stop them actually taken it .

Only thing store it out of view if possible .

 

Its stored in a locked garage most of the time... Its about reducing the risk.... a couple of £ spent on a switch might just prevent its theft if I leave it on a car park somewhere.

 

I use the old fashioned method with a bright yellow steering wheel lock. I know that there is better security on the market but my logic tells me that if a car thief is perusing the car parks in hope of a quick steal, he (or she) will be more likely to pick on the car without the obvious security gadgets...

 

Most steering locks are pathetic nothing to a thief etc

 

Agree it might prevent .

But if your car is targetted by prof thiefs they will follow you and wait for the right opportunity and if they got the gadgets to dissarm cut out switch is nothing to them .

As i said they will just load it and dissarm it elsewhere .

Alarm / standard on most cars prevent most thiefs but prof thiefs if your targeted they will get it .

 

Interuption of the fuel pump electrical feed or the crank position sensor circuit will stop it being driven, and is a cheap and easy fix.

 

I can remotely blow a fuse. My alarm sends/receives text messages. I can follow it by receiving GPS coordinates and I can send an instruction that will effectively kill a fuse. (don't actually know which one, would have to dig into the specs).

Rental companies regulary have a special key you need to use to allow current on the ignition for a certain time. In that time the car can be started.

 

I like that idea, thanks. :tu: I can even get a piggy back adaptor to bridge the fuse so that would make it very easy to do with no wiring modification...

any chance you could find out what fuse it blows?
