LoJack worth it?

Re:LoJack worth it?
Dude stay away from lo jack... not even worth it for way to many reasons.
Possible solutions:
1) Remove ecu fuse from under the hood when u think the car is in a dangerous place
2) Run a kill switch somewhere nicely under ur seat, it has to be pressed to start the car
I have many other options for you... but i dont want to flood the thread.. pm me if u need more ideas

Re:LoJack worth it?
All those solutions seem very tedious, I all ready have a starter kill function on my car alarm. I've herd of people stealing cars by towing them. Because when your car's rear is lifted, it tricks your alarm into thinking its being towed, therfore shutting it up, is this true?
Does pulling the ECU fuse reset you clock/radio?
cause that would suck
Sometimes the safest looking places can be no exception, you just never know, damn I hate car theives

myself i have an avital alarm system which has many features on it. if the alarm is disabled it goes into a backup system which when the brakes are touched when car is running it will shut off and if they get past that, when the car reaches 20mph it will also shut down and lock the theif in the car. his only option is to break the window from inside. but first of all they have to get by daisy and bugsey a 55lb amstaf and a 85lb red-nose PB the best alarm i have

I now have the 88 hatch to leave looking harmless, not lowered, no exhaust, etc. the best theft deterant is have a car that nobody wants to steal. My race car has all the goods-sparco wheel, seat, etc... and the daily driver has nothing worth stealing... I was thinking about putting the sparco steering wheel in the new car, with the quick release, but I think theives would be interested if they saw that a car had a quick release setup on it...

Re:LoJack worth it?
I have not heard anything good about lo jack espescially since our type of cars will most likely be stripped right away. Also my uncle is a local cop and he said they dont even carry the lo-jack tracking units in any of the cars any more because of the frequent car change overs. My personal opinion would to be to get a GPS unit that you can track online from a palm pilot. I have seen atleast a half dozen units that are set up this way. And that way you can monitor your car 24/7 and now a days you can get wireless connections fairly cheap for a palm pilot. Unfortunatly people like to steal hondas so even in stock form your not safe as someone attempted to steal my stock 89 Accord.

Re:LoJack worth it?
multiple hidden kill switches are a good idea or just reachin back and unplugging the fuel pump when your in a shady neighborhood.
i have a good alarm, gonna put on locking lug nuts when i put my bling bling 17's on, and maybe a removable steering wheel later. i just need to find someone selling a wheel/hub nice and cheap.
what sucks is that theres no stopping them from stealing stuff like stereo, seats, bov and some pipeing. those ***** just tear through it with a crobar and hammer, oh well guess full coverage is a good idea.
