What anti-theft devices you recommend to prevent theft of wheels and caps, car, and navigation system?

 

[Rich909]

I would recommend a Viper 5904 or 5704. You can also add a tilt sensor to the alarm for wheel protection and a proximity sensor.

I wouldn't spend the money for a tilt sensor. They are easily defeated by putting blocks of wood under the car and letting the air out of the tires.

someone sounds like a pro!.........

I know for the wheel caps there was somewhere on here where you could buy wires to tether them to the bolts on the weels..... wasnt that expensive, and at least if they try to steal them they have to unbolt it or break it off... wont be a quick snag.

1.replace your drivers side outer handle with a regular passenger side handle (no key hole). Even with a alarm as soon as the lock rod reads unlock signal by a falling key tumbler it's deactivates the alarm.
2.fabricate a backing plate on the ECU under the hood on the drivers side near second battery tray. Thief's(really good ones) reprogram ECU's to your vehicle ahead of time, so they have no trouble starting your car. Jump in, pop the hood, swap out ECU, starts right up.
3.second battery option(especially if you are using the #1 option) prevents power cable on the right hand side fender well to be tampered with.
4.a really good alarm with a pager to notify you that someone is messin with your ride. Shatter sensors are good too being they sense certain frequencys that broken or breaking glass produce.

A revised #1, keep the door handle and disconnect the rod from it as the thief does not use the key hole, they pry between the door and the handle to gain access to the rod and unlock the door disabling the alarm as if the key was being used, however if the remote acts up or the vehicle battery runs down your going to have an interesting time getting into your own vehicle

Either or. Replace or keep(without lock rod). They usually knock out the cylinder, causing the lock rod to push down. depending on the area if they want to pry on it or not lol. The second battery option will take care of a low battery. Just remember to maintain them. Also a back up remote(#2) just in case first remote takes a dump.

I would get the onstar family link for tracking, dealer wheel lock set and the club. The navigation system I would make a plexi glass the size of the screen and stick a no smoking sticker on it and when I leave my car there I would place it over it to deter thieves.

I'm having a tilt alarm installed tomorrow and I'm going to disconnect the pin on the door. I have a salvage yard near me and I'll buy a handle on Monday morning. Takes 30 minutes to swap it.
