SLED Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 GPS tracking is only in the states Gee Steve, next time we rig up a fleet car or delivery truck for surveillance I'll remind myself that we can't do it We've been doing it for donkey's years bud Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/398959-stolen-r33-gtst-adelaide-rego-xlf-351/page/2/#findComment-6336631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdicko23 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 The ebay gps car trackers last time i checked cost 199 free shipping easy to install but you must hide in a secure place not right behind the alarm lol another option is not a pc , old iphone or sim smart phone ,hard wired and buried in car , plus you can bluetooth the music and video to a lot of radios bonus , on standby it has a battery backup that could last days or even a week depending on the settings A strobe mounted in the cluster and under the car in tranny tunnel or cradle and nobody will take te car , too hard or get at or your blind seeing dots Iohone you could facetime the crims to say hello , a iphone 4 you can move the tiny camera to cluster facing crim by extending the wires on the plug , the camera module is as big as your pinky finger nail in size and the camera hole is tiny so it would be hard to notice You can get the viper / python/ clifford/ autopage and other brands smart phone gps tracking but they charge a fee yearly and the gps module is 350 plus install HMM that iphone 4 camera is a pretty good idea, petty i dont have a spare gps seems the way to go i think, something from ebay with a one of payment if they have that? can these sort of people that steal imports get through alarms and immobilisers with black wiring?

Carbon 34 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Black wiring is a waste of time ( but insurance companies demand it) a proper installed alarm system will stop all but the most hardcore thief Common sense will stop a huge portion of theft The gps is a standalone unit aftermarket and doesnt need alarm to work you can still disable the car remotely thru sms trigger , a relay and you can do lots to stop the car , even trigger antilock brakes by confusing the wheel sensors , which flicks on the traction control as well on most cars , really you can go nuts with a skilled installer and some cash Only the modules from direct electronics, autopage etc cost more , need alarms, and fees yearly of nearly 100 bucks less fuss to interface and more dependable but remote start is also included and that was a adr major defect and ghey for australian conditions anyhow ( pure wank factor) so if you get defected for remote start dont blame me , you can rollup windows lock doors and start car , turn on ac , the lot remotely anywhere in the world that has internet or sms But then your phone needs security as well to stop drunken friends from starting your car and killing your family with fumes in a closed garage Or your phone gets nicked and they have full access to your car unlocking and disarming and boat loads of other issues too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/398959-stolen-r33-gtst-adelaide-rego-xlf-351/page/2/#findComment-6336701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon 34 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Kill switches are easy to find , once again its a common idea on where to put it and what it disables , might add 15 seconds to the theft ? It will stop a joy rider but not a real car theft Rfid is the go for security in a car , you can see it and no pin codes, buttons to push , unless you do no key ignition then its push button start but only if it senses the rfid chip , its short range not scannable unless your right on top of it You can do a daisy chain of them to control every item in the car and when you walk away it locks it , rolls up the windows , sets the alarm and disables every function on the car , no ignition switch exists so they cant punch the lock and hotwire it, take the door handles off and all locks too use a electronic deadlock and hidden popper to open the door but only functions with the rfid on you , really you can get insane And i havent even covered the sensors, alerting items, detaining the crim in the car remotely due to the laws in oz , crims have more rights if they get hurt stealing your crap , they should fix that !! Ive installed some things in the states that would make your headspin , ferrari with multi lingual alarm , and a led moving banner sign in the 3 rd brakelight you could write customessages and the alarm would rotate the words this car is stolen if triggered via alarm , and a form of tazer ( cant say where but it stops the crim outside the car) and smoke filling the car cabin so you couldnt see anything( check youtube they had a video of the product a while ago) prob not legal here either ? Dont forget hardening of the door near locks with kevlar sheet and shatter proof glass , clear security tint to stop breaking it open easy Actually a crack head with a rusty needle hovering around the car would stop thieves too .. Shame theyre to hard to keep from joining the crims Lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/398959-stolen-r33-gtst-adelaide-rego-xlf-351/page/2/#findComment-6338416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
