just curious what you guys think. do any of you use somethin like this? I've had a car stolen so I'm thinking of putting this in my new project.

i heard about that, a dealership near me does systems like that. they say its better then lo-jack cuz the car owner can search for his own car online, then play with the theif, kill the engine, turn it back on, kill it again. seems pretty worth it to me. i'd get it but im poor. so kill switches n autolock n remoable steering wheel are my friend.

Any serious thief comes equipped with a rollback. Plans for radio jammer can be found on electro tech online's forums. Nobody who's going to get your car is impressed.

As for the guys who think they're going to drive the car off, you can get real slick with the kill switches and oddities. LIE about injector size or MAP sensor in online forums where ppl stalk your car, so if they try to roll up with their own ECU the injector trim is all wrong. Fun, fun.

yeah switches that are clearly labled stater or ignition or something liek that, that is really hooked up to the alarm works too. so they get in your car and they set it off my tryin to start the car . yeah and if they cant steer it they cant steel it

You can drive a car with vise-grips, no steering wheel.

Re: Is this worth it to YOU?
 

removable steering wheels leave nothing to grab onto with visegrips.

Just like any security situation. Nothing is absolutely safe. You just have to make the payoff not worth the work of getting it.

Just have to add enough hurdels that somone will find an easier target. for internet that is firewall, windows firewall, norton maybe, encrypted network, ect. All can be beaten, just enough of em and it gets frusterating.

Same with a car. Removable wheel, lockin glugs, alarm, tint, nothing in plain sight, parking in monitored areas, parking indoors ect.

get on honda-tech, and search in the ITR section. those people know best about theft ----. :P

for $500, it looks like it would be that....or my $500 insurance deductable. :-\

Re: Is this worth it to YOU?
 

yeah if it costs more than your edectable than wtf. and if you say you don't have full coverage, then I think insurance would be a better investment

Re: Is this worth it to YOU?
 

yeah but a theif will probably scope your car out. and could probably buy the same quick release and then take your car. i mean seriously if they cant drive it off their going to tow it. ---- theives. the only type of racers/enthusiest that get their ---- jacked are those that are into imports. no respect for other peoples ---- :-X
