Any News? hows your mate? sorry to hear this mate the sllaaaaggggg!
Golf GTI PP Mk7
deranged ex g/f?
BMW M3
What a absolute shi*ter mate !!
Shame your mate didnt have their car there too.
One of my mates own an auto instalation company and will fit any fancy gadgets to a car. He was telling me of these simple little devises you can get.... like a cig lighter that needs to be depressed before the car will start. Might invest in one myself.

Yeah i've heard about those things before Justin, really smart idea..
just a switch that will complete a circuit.
Ie: the ignition wire can be cut, wired into a dash switch that has to be pressed in to complete the circuit, giving the power for it to work.
Easy to do stuff like that if you have the tackle.
Best getting a proper anti hijacking module as well.
Theres a place near me that will fit a SMS silent alarm that has a sim card in it, when its triggered it texts you, and also the sim can be tracked online like a normal mobile phone so its a tracker device as well effectively.

Yeah, he said its an alternative to shedding out loads on security as no one would think to press the fag lighter when stealing a car (providing they dont become too common)
He was also telling me about the other end of the scale (only things he had in his van at the time) like software which will show your cars position on a map anywhere/anytime or cheaper ones where you 'text' you car and it send a message back with its exact GPS co-ordinates within a few feet.
its not something you buy, any decent auto electricion should be able to do it, shouldnt cost a lot either.
Yell or Google for auto electricians where you live and ring a few.
Dont tell anyone on here either if you have it done!!
lol,

You can make a cheap tracking device like this:
1: Get an old mobile and a pay as you go sim card with decent network coverage and put a bit of credit on there.
2: Get an incar charger for that phone and hard wire it into a permenent feed (this will insure the phone is always charged)
3: Hide phone (set to silent) well inside the dash / bodywork.
4: register to http://www.traceamobile.co.uk/
5: Track your vehicle whenever you need to.
6: Because your mobile will hold a charge (mine last for 2 weeks for example) even if the theif pulls the plug on your electrics it is not affected by a power loss.
I've once run a hidden switch to the switched part of the ignition so that it has to be activated before the ignition key will start the car and create a circuit.
If you can be arsed you can create these switches anywhere you like (so long as you know what you are doing and they dont deactivate while driving) The Pugs have a similar switch it's just opperated by a user code, these sorts of keypad circuits can be seen here:
