Guys, thinking ahead for when I get the new motor about a tracking device.

I really like the concept of this car Lock device but as it plugs into the OBD port is it pointless?

    If you can move the port then it will be ok.

    If you can't move it then it's too easy to remove.

    Clive, how did you manage to get your ST so quick I ordered before you haha!

    Are you doing anything about security in your one mate, eg moving the port?

    They had one ready to go in their lock-up after the person they ordered it for pulled out at the last monent.

    Exactly the right spec and colour I wanted too so very licky.

    All they had to do was Diamondbrite it and do the tinting.

    I guess all the planets aligned on that day. :)

    When you get yours you will see that it's well worth the wait.

    Have you added the door protector option?, if not then do so as they are well cool.

    Funny enough I added the protectors last thing Friday.

    Please could you send me a link to the tracker your going to go for? I keep looking at these things but can't get my head round them lol.

    I like this option as once the car is found they actually arrange for someone to guard it until it's recovered to the owner.

    There are many instances of Police finding stolen cars, telling the owners where to find them and before the owner takes possession the car goes again.

    Thanks Clive I am very much liking the look of this, if you don't mind I have a few questions.

    Do you pay the 185.00 for the product and fitting and then have to also pay a subscription?

  • Quote

    Yes.

    You pay for a yearly service.

    Better than seeing your car vanish never to be seen again though.
