Stolen!
#62
Any car can be stolen--let's not forget that.
I just read about it, and I'm not too sure how it works. It sounds like after your car gets jacked, the thief can drive a short distance, but it eventually sets off the car's horn and lights while killing the engine, so the thief is stuck in an attention-getting car while not being able to drive away. The owner can go back to the car and enter the PIN number to deactive the system.
What I don't get is how it is activated in the first place, since it doesn't explain it.

^^^ that's kind of how it works, yea. True that if it's towed away, no alam system is going to save it. Get a GPS recovery system if that's a problem
It's a security/convenience/vehicle self recovery anti carjacking system. It costs a bit more for the installation since it has a *lot* of things to integrate into, but its pretty badass.
It's always active. To drive the car, you need to enter a PIN code. If you open and close a door when the motor is on, then drive off,(like in a carjacking) you'll need to re-enter the PIN. The PIN lets the alarm know that you are an authorized driver. Without that PIN code, you car can't be driven off even if they steal your keys.

I'd rather just keep my doors locked, look twice before getting into my car and be cautious at all times... kind of like what you're supposed to do. Besides, there's a reason why I know how to fight... and it wasn't for aesthetics or bragging rights either.
But I guess if I lived deep in the hood, then that's a different story.

I know that it was recovered, but the last thing you said answered what I was asking since I didn't see any new posts about him having acquired a replacement. Thanks.
