3. Steering Wheel Lock
4. Aftermarket alarm system, probably Clifford
5. Tint all the windows using a particular film that should re-inforce the glass.
6. I have a tracker so I'm activating that.
7. I'm thinking of having 2 trackers in the car.


After all that....if it still gets stolen I've got gap insurance.

Jaysus, you don't need to try to make it impossible to steal, you just need to make it a little bit more difficult than the hundreds of other BMWs you see parked every time you go out!

1-3 are cheap and easy to do.
one of my mate's a senior bmw tech so no labor costs for stuff like that and parts are cheap.
there's a group buy for the car alarm. i think that's worth doing.
my car came with a tracker so it's worth activating.
i'm not really going to do the tint (god forbid if you're in an accident and they're trying to get you out of the car, trying to smash in the window might be more tricky). and yes i was being a little sarcastic about the second tracker...
my car's caked in CF, looks great but does say "steal me" so i might be a little more cautious....

a little.
don't think the thieves will damage the car....doubt they'll figure out what's happened....their module will just switch off and not power up again....they'll be too concerned about staying in the car too long and will likely then get out.
now activating and ejector seat or tear gas inside the cabin when the false obd is plugged into....that could be interesting......or maybe just some canned fart gas...

Wire the obd into the stereo so when they plug in to their dummy obd (as you've relocated the real one) the stereo activates.

Make sure to always put stereo full volume before you go sleep

Play song "Lowdown, Dirty Thief" by Bone Orchard Revival at full volume.


Sorted

I remember in my early mod days there was an alarm system that I really wanted for my Honda, it would fill the cabin with some sort of thick smoke that would serve only to stop the thief from driving off with the car and draw attention to a 'burning car'; without any repercussions to the interior. I think it was designed for anti-hijacking.

Good car alarms used to have an internal siren as well that would almost make your ears bleed, a thief would certainly get out sharpish if it went off, but Im guessing we now have to be carefull not to hurt the scumbags

But I thought they were courageous ... oh, sorry, that was burglars

[J44KPR]

are they actually able to sit in the car without the alarm going off ?

I thought the doors would have deadlocks as well ?
