Thanks for your response.
So you drove your car home from the dealer without first having read the manual? Even my dealer and I after discussing the cars functionality in summary before I took her home agreed that time would be the best way (and the manual) to learns it's intricacies.
I...
I was crouched beside the open drivers door as the guy behind the wheel pressed the start button. Started no problem. Definitely not even partially in the car - but maybe with the door open, the signal was strong enough, and there would have been no electrical interference around where we were...
Does the manual talk about the horn interaction with the missing FOB? Just wondering if all things are covered to this level of detail. I'll try and look at the manual over the weekend. Been so busy.
Of course, for all of you that have read your manuals from cover to cover - you will know the...
My new main concern now is if and when I am at a car show - standing near my passenger door, that someone with this knowledge could get in and drive off before I get the chance to react.
I have known this guy for over a year - and we have discussed many business strategies as friends and...
Thanks, I think a lot of us understand that now :doh: I was under the false impression that the car might cut out if it went out of range of the fob. Now we know.
So - should we do a poll to find out who has read the manual cover to cover?
:o
Imagine your car being stolen and driven recklessly - no joking matter. This is a serious matter for me. Maybe you can afford to replace it asap. It takes over a year to get another car in Australia - not a month like in the States.
Not a misunderstanding at all.
The recording on the dash cam makes it quite clear when the driver says something to indicate that he was going to take the car, and knows he didn't have permission.
I will not allow people to sit in the drivers seat anymore unless they have my permission to drive...
I was beside the open door of the car when we intentionally started it for the engine noise.
I was 3-4 metres away when he then closed the door and drove off in it!
Yes - the police are involved - not through my doing but a member of the public who witnessed the abusive driving - I was alleged...
I told him how disrespectful he was, and told him to go away, leave me alone and go home and grow up - I don't want to see you around anymore. And in stronger words by the way.
He left. The video is incriminating - and is pending investigation due to other circumstances. It also proves it...
My point is - why didn't the car cut out without the FOB in it, and why did it restart 500m away?
If you let someone sit in your drivers seat, and you have the FOB in your pocket, be prepared for a possible nasty surprise if they decide to go joy riding and know how this works.
This is a...
I got the car back ten minutes later, I was very angry! But something has made me very alarmed.
The details are:
I was showing someone I thought was a friend the new car, as you do, after he showed so much interest to see it. He got in the drivers seat and admired the interior. I checked the...
Yes and I found on the day of collection I didn't want to collect the car because then the anticipation would be over :eyebulge: I was very mixed up haha.
Worth it for the car though I recon. I had three reasons that plate works for me - so justified.
I ordered a plate before I bought this one that says 'A V8 GT' - same type of plate. I have it but might sell it for a profit - definitely not a loss. Any offers :gossip:
