Time to upgrade:

[BLACK 346]

So, got me a question (I'm feeling a little confident today about the progress ........ funds are available and roadworthy is only 2 sleeps away ........yeah yeah I know, what am I 6 ....) ........................

With all the dramas with this VF 'tax' and them being nicked every bloody 6 seconds in this state (I am only ''sightly'' freaked out about what I am getting myself into); I am doing my due diligence on how best to secure this beast (if and when it does happen). Now I know nothing is 100% and it doesn't matter what 'device' or 'system' is in place, a tilt tray can still ruin your day. Buuuuuut, I have been thinking down the lines of:

Physical lock for steering wheel and or brake pedal - visual deterrent and to slow them down (PIA to use every time you drive the car somewhere but it is what it is).

Alarm system with usual battery back up siren/tilt/shock sensors etc (similar to the Viper I have on my VY - which also has a GPS tracking module)

ODBII duplication/relocation - (with some additional ''consequences'' if something is plugged into the port - like 12v down the data line and an ear splitting piezo siren in the cab on battery backup)

Horn wiring relocation

Kill Switch (for fuel pump)

Faraday cage for keys

OR ..........

What about something like IGLA https://eurochiptuning.com.au/igla-immobiliser


I know the best defense is to lock it up but that isn't always gunna work and I am going to want to drive this thing and park it somewhere with some confidence (I've also considered a boot chimp or Rottweiler ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW8iAVwt_Yc)

What are folks thoughts ......... not so much on the boot chimp ...

I have Solid GPS on all vehicles and the Calais has a well hidden cut out switch that makes the car think the trans is in gear so will not turn over. Whilst these things are great peace of mind, I do not think you can go past ensuring you have the car ensured for the correct amount (ie Agreed value). Too may stories of peoples cars going missing or written off and then realising that they haven't looked at their insurance for a couple of years and are well under what the car is worth. Other than that, don't overthink it just drive the wheels off it and enjoy it

ps...Had rottweilers as pets for years, but they are hard on interiors if you don't have a ute.
