Hi all. live in an apartment, therefore its parked in the open at nights. There was a holden stolen from the carpark yesterday in broad daylight..... so its made me extra cautious about my baby!

i have a mongoose alarm in my car, and a steering bar thingy. plus i unplug the coil loom every night.. i want to disable more circuitory.. eg starter, fuel pump..

if i unplugged the CAS, would the motor start at all??

i want to disable the fuel pump and starter too.. how can i do that??? sorry im just really paranoid since my cars the "most eye catching" in our apartment....

any help woudl be much appreciated. :P thanks

look into getting a kill switch installed...

got one done for the fuel pump, simple on/off switch hidden away where the diagnositic plug is kept, just under the steering wheel to the right...

pretty sure most auto electricians can do it...

another way to piss any thieves off :P

Just add a little twist to the " Kill Switch" idea. Use a reed switch.Mount it anywhere behind plastic ( dash, etc.,), where it can't be reached by hand. You know where it is, and you switch it with a magnet from the outside. You can, with 2 or 3 relays make it so the magnet only needs to 'close the switch to start with. then it is OK until engine switched off. So the car is auto disabled as soon as it is switched off. You can kill ignition, fuel, whatever you want ( or boyh together]. Depending how neat you do the wiring, so it's not physically obvious, it'll take an Auto/lec all day to find it.

Get reed switches from security installers - used on building alarm systems. Or electrical wholesalers.

or perhaps get some from work :P

that is actually a really good idea... now im thinking... u could also use a coded magnet... unless u have the specific magnet and sensor, uve got no chance in starting the car... we use them all the time at work in our machines...

Yes, that's good. Glad I did'nt know about it. That way I did the circuit myself ( without the kill switch) I like mine better.

I'll dig out my circuit and try to post it. Love the 'coded magnet' idea of the previous post, BUT don't lose it!!

No, can't do it. Am better at wiring diags than computers. Scanned it into computer, but can't get it from there to here. Sorry.

once its scanned, save it as a jpg file or something... when u post again, look down and right and ull c a "Browse..." button. click on that and find the file u saved. click ok. click the green "UPLOAD" button and wait... thats it...

yeh "kill switch" is kind of a wrong name... should be something more like "start switch" or something...

Thanks, I tried. Tried all sorts of places to scan it into, but got " X Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload this type of file." Had a good look at it ( even upside down) STILL did'nt look pornographic even from that angle. Guess everyone will just have to use their imagination. Pity.

"type of file" refers to the "filename.***" the *** part is the file type. jpg, doc, txt, mpg are file types... probably the most common image file is jpg. when u scan the file, save the file as "image.jpg" if u can...

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
