redbaron80 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) there was a kill switch, they found it. Yep. You can only do so much to prevent a theft. Don't blast your system, no stickers and keep it covered up. If they really want it, they can bring a tow truck, thats why IF you can get extra stereo insurance, it is a good idea. Although the maximum I have seen is $ 5,000 in coverage. Edited March 24, 2009 by redbaron80 Quote Official Scores at the Dash. and YES.

slugdub Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 lol, so if your stereo is worth more than your car? probably a good idea. well, lots of good things coming from this dark incident. its 3 years old but I still get such a creepy vibe from this video. there has to be bad karma for people that do this. and the scratches, it almost seems personal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addiction2bass Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 true. yes all it takes is a tow truck hydrolics and a heavy duty pickup truck. repo truck main reason why i have full coverage on both my vehicles. and to up your aftermarket valve for insurance ya need pictures and specs. at least thats what my insurance company wants... they cover up to 1K bucks as-is. i still have to get pics and paper work to my insurance company for my system. but for now im not to worried about theft yet. my kill switch is a bit different. im using a power plug from some old neon transformers i had. without the plug it wont power the fuel pump. and with the pin removed youd never know thats my kill switch.... so far havent needed it to be bested yet... i did this kill switch before i put a alarm system on it because it was all free! but as long as i pull the pin/plug they wont be able to punch the column and drive off at least! ya just have to be creative with the switch style... a simple switch is to easy to just flip and is very common.

slugdub Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 lol, that is pretty cool man. never heard of annything like that. judging from your sig pic, i don't think there's anyone around to steal your stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey15 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Does anyone know how wide and long steve's squaro port is (from the outer layers to the actual particle board specs)? I'm going to dare attempt a mini monster .. Quote T10004 10" AQ HDC3 yep in a prius.. I know, I know why a prius.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addiction2bass Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 lol, that is pretty cool man. never heard of annything like that. judging from your sig pic, i don't think there's anyone around to steal your stuff ya kinda... still out in the country a bit. not to much.... just have a few corn fields surrounding our yard besides two small houses behind our shop.but my vehicles are mostly in the garage and i have paging lcd alarms on all my cars besides my 66 impala. id like one on it but i just dont drive it anymore..... to much HP and to heavy of a right foot plus cops love that car. so its very easy to get harassed! ya just have to get creative. dont use the typical switch that anyone can just flip. my pin just looks like junk so even if a thief looks he wont know why it wont start.LOL the more creative ya get the better your chances are from a smash and ign pop! but wont save from a tow truck theft of course. get creative with your own or even multiple switches. they can be constant switches or even use a relay and some resistors and diodes to use a momentary to constant switch setup. i leave my civic parked outside no problem because i bought it so cheap as a project so if its stolen and trashed ill just take the insurance check and get a profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blast my system(s) all the time......thats what i built it for. I am sponsored so i run at least 1 sticker (even though i dont like to because stickers are ugly), and i didnt have a choice as far as covering up at the time. Now i do - she is safe as can be now. My insurance only covers up to $1000 for the system - oh well, i just gotta try not to get the next one stolen thats all. true. yes all it takes is a tow truck hydrolics and a heavy duty pickup truck. repo truck main reason why i have full coverage on both my vehicles. and to up your aftermarket valve for insurance ya need pictures and specs. at least thats what my insurance company wants... they cover up to 1K bucks as-is. i still have to get pics and paper work to my insurance company for my system. but for now im not to worried about theft yet. my kill switch is a bit different. im using a power plug from some old neon transformers i had. without the plug it wont power the fuel pump. and with the pin removed youd never know thats my kill switch.... so far havent needed it to be bested yet... i did this kill switch before i put a alarm system on it because it was all free! but as long as i pull the pin/plug they wont be able to punch the column and drive off at least! ya just have to be creative with the switch style... a simple switch is to easy to just flip and is very common. clever little trick...lots of work for a car that will probably never get stolen due to it being (or appearing) bone-stock and no people being around within hundreds of miles though :D better safe then sorry like me though! lol, that is pretty cool man. never heard of annything like that. judging from your sig pic, i don't think there's anyone around to steal your stuff x2 thats what i was thinking....nice little trick none the less. I think having my alarm ON/Armed would have sufficed since it had ignition kill on it. Just need to remember to turn that thing on thats all. People swear i had no security on the car - of course i did but it will do nothing if it isnt armed.
