Clifford blackjack system... 300 yds away thats all they will get away then car comes to a halt and all he'll breaks loose .... Sorted  :happy2:

But a ball ache to turn off every time you get in, a better option is something that uses a separate transponder , I.e they can still Nick your keys, get in and drive off but if no transponder is present the car dies down the road, Sempal used to do a card system but not sure if they still do it, Autowatch do a hidden switch which is a compromise I guess.

I had a Trackstar on my WRX a few years ago cost c£300 - it was an insurance requirement. It detects movement without the engine being started - I once rolled it into the garage and I got a call half an hour later from them saying my car may have been stolen  :grin: one nice feature was that it beeped when approaching speed cameras if you were travelling over the speed limit.

As others have said, I would not buy one unless forced to as I wouldn't want my GTI back if it got nicked......

Exactly the same as me mate, RAC Trackstar fitted to the Scooby.  Good system but expensive.
