Does anyone know the best way from your car being stolen. My friend and my cousins civic has just been stolen recently and i'm so worried that my car will be stolen 1 day.

I already have a pager compustar alarm and i know that won't do anything to protect my car. So what do u guys think? Got any opinion? I heard there is this boomerang thing like $400 install and $10 a month and they can track your car when it is missing. Is that the same as the on star thing but a lot cheaper or are they the same? My friend had a pager alarm and his EK got jacked and when he found his car everything was stolen and ripped and the car got total lost. I believe the thieves don't hot wire the car anymore, i think they use the tow truck to tow the car away then they can tow it anywhere they want and then hot wire the car afterwards or something. If i have a alarm and they hooked up the kill switch, does that mean that if they try to hot wire the car they can't? Couldn't they just go under the dash and disconnect the alarm? So the best way is to hook up like a fuel cut off switch or a ignition cut off switch rite?

Hope someone can give me a idea what i can do. I know is not just me that is worried that our cars are being stolen. U know u put all the $$$ and effort into the car and then 1 day it will be gone. Can someone tell me how the boomerang or the on star works and also what price and where can i get it installed?

Thanx for the output.

I know this might have been covered so many times, but hope someone can give a second opinion. People that wants to talk **** about my post pls don't reply. I don't need all this nonsense. I just want your opinion and not thread crapping.

bmw concept.

Theres really no way to prevent it, if someone wants it, and they know what they are doing they will get it...

The best would be the Kill Switch idea.

My car right now can't be hotwired or anything cause its set to my alarm, when I get in the car I have to hit this button for my starter to even work

kwasley

it isn't hard to disable alarms and kill switches

there are shifter locks around, where you push a button and you cant move your shifter

all ya can really do is try a little of everything and hopefully the fackers won't be able to trace everything back/bypass everything before you can react..

some tips maybe
1) Park inside garages etc
2) Quick Release Hub
3) Lot of strobes and louder horns for when alarm is going off
4) Have your dog sleep in the car :P

theres soo many dam thevies now days it pisses me off, people shouldnt have too put 1000s of dollars into security for there cars

sorry about that rant but as long as you got a pager alarm just try to park in garages everywhere you can (like 92jdmx said) like when i go to toronto we always park underground right by the camera and dont leave the car unattend too long

its unfortunate but if a thief wants your car that bad, they're going to take it no matter what. The best i can think is when you park your car do it in a garage, or if you're in a parking lot get in front of the store where theres lots of people

a really really good way to prevent a thief from stealing your car is to tap into the wires from behind the fuse box rather then tapping into your starter harness/ignition harness. and when i mean behind the fuse i dont mean right behind it but somehwere behind the harness this would give a difficult time for any thief because the car wouldn't start especially if the brain is placed behind say the heater blower it cant be reached either.
and without the main harness the car wont start or do anything.

obvioulsy the down side is towing the car. in which case you cant do ****. unless you have air ride and you dump it to the floor everytime you leave your car and have it so that the switch box for the control of the air ride is a removable type with special pins or whatever so only your controller can plug into it or someone that knows about your car and has worked into it will be able to plug a different controller into it in which case you have a good chance of figuring out who it was.

Or, have the steering wheel eject an extremely foul odor when the alarm is set off. Who's going to want to drive a smelly pos?

I have a kill switch so i should be fine. I just don't want my car to be towed like other cars that i've known that are gone from my friends and relatives.

How much is air ride? Is it easy to install? Does it use a lot of power?

Gunmetalef

get air ride and dump your car on the ground to prevent it from being towed haah

imported_doggy69247
