Way's To Secure Your Ride

Sup Peeps,

My mate just got himself a lowjack for his TRD Aurion
( Man I want that car ).

I was just thinking, our car's aren't really massive targets for thieves, maybe unless you have a ralliart or evo.

( Another reason to not be a wannabe and badge your ride with ralliart gear )

Have you guys just gone with the standard alarm system and steering wheel lock?

Those with MMCS units or any hi-end touch screen unit in their car - do you cover it over when you leave?

My car currently doesn't have anything done to the alarm. Probably the next thing on my list of things to buy!!

My 7" screen is aftermarket and folds away when not on.

My car is in security parking at work, and I don't normally park it anywhere too dodgy to get attention from thieves.

I will hopefully get around to sorting the alarm soonish.

MMCS is virtally useless to anyone who doesnt have a CJ, they might as well give it back to you because they couldnt figure out what wires do what to connect it to their stereo. If you were to cover it, it would just make it more enticing for the person to steal it. If people knew what they were lookin for, they would take it regardless of whether it was evo, ra or even standard CJ.

Ive personally upgraded mine to a python security alarm with 2 way paging. so whenever the alarm goes off i get a message back to my reciever with what section of my car has been tripped.

Out of Curiosity, how much did that cost you Tadz?

[Zac6221]

Agreed - I saw a few pics of a broken in evo in the US, the thieves couldn't even get the MMCS unit out so they just smashed the screen.

I have the fast key option in my car so hotwiring it makes life a bit more difficult.

Paid $650 installed. I was planning on getting the GPS Tracking alarm but that was like 999 + installation

Best device i have seen.

Reminds me of Mr Bean, taking his steering wheel, and locking a clasp with a padlock on his door!!!

I might have to consider that alarm you have Tadz. Does it page your key, or your mobile?

I got my Mitsu alarm upgraded at a reasonable cost
If they want in, or they want the car they will just tow it!
Insurance is always the best bet I've found
Alarms don't deter thieves anymore

[bd-850]

if they want to get into your car they will, there is nothing you can do to stop it, an alarm will only slow them down, but the damage will already be done

[tadz0rz]

Its a standalone remote, it doesnt incorperate itself into the mitsu keys. If you have seen zoolander, thats what my remote for my car looks like.

gotta tell you aswell, the remote is only good for about 700m. It says it will do 1 mile in an open area, but it goes down alot if your inside, IE, shopping center etc.

As bd said, its only goign to slow them down, not stop them. Most people just ignore car alarms nowa days.

I like my idea, run 240 volts through the metal parts of your car.... someone tries to steal it... they get electrocuted!!! They will never try stealing a car again

Gas burners concealed in your sills
When they break in the jets ignite and incinerate the perp!
Drastic,but effective LOL!

[LZY_EYE]

As long as it gets the job done

Better than a screaming alarm lol

Lock nuts for your rims are pretty good.
