The switch they sell has an anti theft mode, takes a couple of seconds to apply and once applied it disables The throttle pedal and car idles at about 500 rpm

Mine doesn't idle at around 500rpm. when the anti-theft is on... it cuts out after 5 seconds.

Last time i tried mine (which was a few weeks ago now as my switch is with Revo at the mo) it just about manages to idle, barely, but then i've never left it running long - just checked the first few times of using that its done the job so i guess it may well die if left long enough.

I find you have to sit perfectly still. if you even so much as blink it cuts out.  :laugh:

So am I right in thinking this anti theft feature isn't connected to the map and each time you use it the map will be taken off and put back on?  :confused:

No all the anti theft does is disable the throttle.

The map is still on the car.

In the ECU port - get on your knees by the drivers door and it's under the dash :happy2:

Once you've located it, you can reach it from the driver's seat. You don't need to get back on your knees again - unless you like that kind of thing!  :grin:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
