How does the car know when its stolen?
There is a video from da ghetto on YoutubeBasically you unlock the car and there's a pinpad you enter a code on.
Car starts happy days
When you open the door and shut it or stop/start the engine again you have to re-enter the code within a given timescale (I think it's about 30-60 seconds) after which it cuts the engine.

Turn on, get red light. Put in PIN, get green light, start. Cuts the ignition ECU on petrols and the injector pump on diesels.
Turn off, light stays green until you open the driver's door or a minute or so.
There's a "service mode" so you can put a temporary PIN in for when the car goes in for servicing/valet parking/whatever, so you don't have to give out the normal PIN.
Somebody nicks the keys but doesn't know the PIN, the car simply doesn't start. Two-factor authentication, just like online banking is moving to. Transponders are a backwards step, imho. But, of course, there's the risk of somebody nicking the keys then kicking the castroses out of you to get the PIN...
Well, bring it on. My £250 ZX is going nowhere without it. Dominate that PIN!
Thanks guys
Will look into those devices
Saw the car yesterday in the compound
The thieves had it for 5 days and used it for a "job*
3 smashed windows. Loads of white chalk in the boot with slabs of concrete and a sledgehammer..?
One side of the car with multiple dents.I would never want to go through this saga again.

Yeah the pug keypads were good, but im sure there were issues with some
I've always heard that, but never experienced it.Nearest I've come was doing the ZX cambelt this year - plugged the battery back in, the alarm went off... at which point I remembered I didn't have a remote for the alarm/locking... Got that sorted, then the keypad came up with both lights... <parp> Bit of fiddling, a relay somewhere went click, and all was good.
Bypassing them's straightforward, though, if you know the code.

also what happens if you spilt coffee on it?
There's a simple answer to that - and one that's always worked well for me...TooMany2cvs said:

I had one of these - excellent idea.Turn on, get red light. Put in PIN, get green light, start. Cuts the ignition ECU on petrols and the injector pump on diesels.

Looks like the pin is 1111 by the state of that keypad :-)

We had a pool car with one of those keypads, it was bloody murder cos everyone kept forgetting the code!RammyMP said:

"Four men arrested after £750,000 car chop-shop probe raid" Headline from today's local paper. Wonder if this is the gang responsible for the Golf & Touareg thefts?

Bloody vile, the Touareg can be replaced as a 16 plate at least but the fact those runts came into your house is what would make me beyond mad. How's the Golf looking?
Got the Golf back yesterday. New front alloys, tyres, minor wing repair, drives fine No Touareg, insurance settled
t 19 year old would hopefully kill himself in a V8 RR, V12 Benz or Scooby. I despise thieves. Only read a few pages of the thread but noticed you are also in Lancashire.
Since June I've had 2 attempted break ins and one snooper.
First occasion they had the beadings off 3 windows but couldn't get the glass out. Only found out in the morning, we didn't have an alarm but the locks had been changed to anti snap bump type.
After that we had multiple upgrades; added interior door locks, more security lights out of reach, and a house alarm fitted that's always on at night. Main difference was the fitting of some Netgear Arlo cameras as they work on IR motion detection and are battery and wifi so no cuttting of cables. They notify you on your phone or tablet when they are triggered and hence you can then take action.
The second occasion was someone snooping about on my property at 1am, cameras alerted me but due to me having been out on a stag do during the day I didn't wake right away on notification but I had a video recorded of the person.
Third occasion I was alerted as 4 balaclava wearing individuals tripped one of cameras so they didn't even get the chance to break in as I made them aware I knew they were outside (they ran a off). They had previously tried to break into a couple of houses before mine (one of them after a Golf R) so were 100% after my high performance car.
These cameras are worth their weight in gold and easy to install. Ok the local cat sets them off at times but well worth it, nothing is going to get near my doors or windows without being detected.

We have upgraded alarm, anti snap exterior locks, installed interior door locks, more lighting, HD cameras with IR, the list goes on.Since June I've had 2 attempted break ins and one snooper.

Sign of the times unfortunately, been at the property since 1999 and nothing previously.
