Towards the bottom of the page. I believe it takes 10 to 15 mins same as adding a map though.

What about a smoakcloak type one, now that would be cool.  We had a smokecloak system fitted to our server room where I worked - filled the room thick with smoke in about 25-30seconds!  Was well funny when we tested it.

  :surprised: :grin:

If you have a GTD then its highly likely it wont get stolen going by VC's video

Agree with Nousey - make your house/home impregnable and ensure your pride'n'joy is as safe as possible.

Having the car immobilised will only mean the thugs come back in again. Better for the car to be in valet mode and if the thugs say anything when they get the key, tell them it's f00ked and needs to go into a garage.

Indeed , thats what i would say.

No, why ?

tell them it's f00ked and needs to go into a garage.

My god do theives test drive them now too - they come back if there not happy  :happy2:  :laugh:

Sorry 182, back on topic....

The valet mode is quite a good idea, might become a pain doing it every day.  Garage your car surely has to be a good idea (where possible)

How do you get valet mode ?, im gussing it involves alot of fannying around with Bluefin etc, which is why i thought something automated might be a good idea (or something like the Autowatch button)

Have you spoken to SC about this Shaun?

With regard use of the Bluefin handset as a security device??
oh i see, thought you had some secret info on it LOL
