REVO anti theft??

[joesgti]

what and how exactly does it work??  you select anti theft on the SPS and then do you have to change it to a non anti theft map when ever you want to drive it?? 

[MAT ED30]

yes just turn it on then when you want to drive the car turn it off its not hard to do 

[joesgti]

so you need to plug the SPS switch in every time? itd be easier if you could do it so its always on but can still be used with the key.

[S2 Ant]

Yes you have to plug it in every time but only takes a couple of seconds to turn on and off.
The point of it is so that even with the keys your car cant be stolen ;)

What is REVO anti theft exactly?

[S2 Ant]

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

As Ant says

So even if someone nicked your keys they couldn't drive off as although the car will start it will not move and will just cut out.

I don't leave my vRS anywhere without it on. I even have a Disclock which goes over the steering wheel and it's parked in the Garage with the Slingshot blocking the door. So it will take a determined thief to get it

Ah, cool....Sounds good especially with all the key theft crime.


hopefully that would be enough to scare them off rather than come in and kick your head in til you fix it for them to drive off!

Nah giving someone a hiding whilst your naked is more embarrassing for them

I think you might require a more 'specialist' website....

[Dandan]

Cant help wondering what if the SPS stops working? And how big exactly the unit is? Is it easy to carry with you? Can it be easily broken?

I quess it could piss off the thieves pretty bad and instead of stealing your car they might just trash it. 

Very good system for those who feel like they have use for it.

I used to have an auto electrician wire a switch into my cars. He'd connect it to the alternator, so if the switch was engaged, the starter would crank but the engine wouldn't catch. A couple of pounds of bits and half an hour to immobilise a car. Of course the switch was tucked under the dash in an obscure location. Stopped one of my cars being nicked, despite alarm and steering lock being breached.
