Hi guys,

We pick up our new car very very soon, an 18 plate B9 Audi RS5 carbon edition with over 20k of options including carbon ceramics! 😬 never ever would I have thought I'd own a car like this in my life and I'm so excited to finally get behind the wheel.

Currently looking into immobilizer variants, what do people recommend? Ideally I'd like the pin option as I'd probably lose the fob 😂 do certain insurers only approve of certain brands? Seems like it's either Ghost or scorpian..

For now it'll be part exing ours and getting used to a new to us little rocket ship 🙏😎

Nice choice.

I've worked on many cars with aftermarket immobilisers over more recent years - all have been Ghosts', make of that what you will.

Enjoy the first drive home!.....

I would go with a Ghost system.

Just remember you'll need to tell every garage any time you take it in for work. Dropping it off for a service the night before so its first on the ramp in the morning doesn't really work out if they can't get it to move!

Obviously this was a friend it happened to and not me personally paperbag

Thanks guys!

Will definitely have more of a look into a ghost system them. So far I'm just looking forward to the drive home. I know the RS4 is more cult hero but the 5 with its low roof and 2 doors is almost more of an un-sung hero. Love it!

Home time 🥳 absolutely in love with the car. Shame the traffic was horrendous but gave us time to go through the endless gadgets and settings. All I can say about the power is its effortless.
