Which Tracker

[Big_G]

Does the F750 have a tracker?

No, but as discussed earlier trackers don't really seem to offer much and increase insurance premiums. Dash cams on the other hand offer around 10% discount

Where did you order from?

Went through Amazon but then used Flubit for cheaper price, took it from £255 to £240. It's the 32Gb version with hardwire so decent saving.
Just need to figure out which fuse tap to buy, think I need two of them. I believe the Mustang uses mm2 fuses (micro?)

Before I tuned my stock base eco it was limited at 147 mph. Mine was on 17s with those horrid H rated Hankooks. I assumed someone had accidentally put a PP tune on mine from the factory. I flashed it with the Cobb 93 stage 1 the next morning.

Why let them get so far away you need to track your car down?

Seems a good device, but what about if they break into your car and don't have they keys is this device going to slow them down?

 

[Centurion07]

Dunno, I hadn't thought about it. Do these scum even still hotwire cars these days? I thought it was all done with elecktrickery nowadays?

My main worry is that the Mustang is as easy to nick as the Focus RS.

For the RS they literally break a window, plug something into the OBD port which essentially codes them a key I think and within 60 seconds they have your car up and running and drive off.

So questions are:
1. Is Mustang same easy to nick security joke of a system?
2. Do Clifford/Thatcham offer a device which will make a thieves life far more difficult, such as OBD lockout or just something which will slow them down enough for them not to bother.

Simple security measure I shall take is to fit a steering wheel lock, maybe they can be easily defeated but it will add a further minute or two for them and another obstacle which might make a thief think its not worth while trying and move on.....

There are a few obd locks on the market http://www.focusrsparts.co.uk/focus-mk2-all-models-obd-saver/prod_3199.html I'm more worried about the signal booster for the key that lets them open the door & drive it away Maybe a large Rottweiler on the back seat is the answer

Hi there


An easy purchase I shall do for sure, a good classic decent steering wheel lock, £50, adds a good 1-2 minutes break in time to an intelligent theif and they have to make plenty of noise to get it off:

One of them, and the OBD lock, ought to do it. Something visible is good if it dissuades them from busting in. I'm hoping organised crime will stay focussed on Jag/Range Rover/BMW/AMG and leave us alone. If they want it that bad they'll just pick it up and stick it on the back of a truck.

Just found these, another great thing for about £20 delivered to UK, prevents thieves from using boosters to access your vehicle:

Got one on the way, absolute common sense at this price point.

Seems sensible but has anyone heard of it happening over here?
I'm just Scottish and £20 is £20

All the time, hence my worry, search youtube for Focus RS thefts, enough videos on there.

Some thieves will try and boost your keyfob signal for easy access and steal the content or will just smash the window to the car. Reprogramme a blank keyfob via the OBD port and drive off.

We need to do everything possible to slow them down and I am happy to spend a couple of hundred quid on old school security devices to slow the thieves down and I might even invest in a full blown top of the range alarm as well.

If my car was stolen I would not want it back and as I am putting so much time and money into my car the last thing I want is for it to be stolen.

There are cheaper RFID wallets available. I intend getting something like this for my fob. Also intended getting one for the wife's Nissan however never got round to it... :doh:

I've never had a car that stood out from the crowd before (BMW3 are not in short supply...) and frankly theft does worry me. It's not like we can take our insurance payout and go get another one.

Much better value, if it works. Gonna test mine when it arrives on my mates car, see how effective it is.
