Looks like fitting a kill switch on the ODB Port may be something to investigate... 8 stages or not they are only a matter of cars away from getting it working....

Another alternative would be to look at how the ODB port is bolted in, and re-locating it. Then leaving an dummy that is wired to short their device or covered with a nice tar like gel substance so it F*ks up what every they plug into it.....



Or I wonder if we can get a group buy on this

 

You guys in england need to make an switch to disable the ignition of your cars..

sure i'd go in on a group buy for a Trunk Monkey.

just let me know who's all in and how much they cost.

 

I don't actually understand why they couldn't steal it... I mean, these are high tech thieves, they must have tested it before doing it for real...

 

sorry to hear about your bad luck being targeted by these scum bags. something similar happened to my mate last week, they got up to find their £10k mazda 2 was missing. police found it a few miles out the town crashed in a ditch. no keys were used, they believe it was started with a laptop. insurance has written it off due to all the damage. police also told them that about 6 cars had been stolen from the area in a similar way over the past 2 months. this happened in a fairly small town just outside of aberdeen, so its not just happening in the big cities.

 

that's what i thought, only thing that crossed my mind was it was easier to come back with a key and take it neatly, ie with no broken window to arise suspicion when driving off. Seeing that with that tool they can perhaps make a key.

not much i can do, can't hide it inside the house, I've taken all valuables out of the car now (sunglasses etc) in case it goes.

 

Disconnect the battery every night???????


Don't know how this will affect the battery in the long term

 

Trunk Monkey FTW! Haven't seen that one in a long time lol
