Another way people steal hondas are the windows. You may or may not know this, but honda windows have alot of flex. you can literally pry your fingers over the top and pull the window out, and it will bend into a U shape, with ample room to stick your entire arm in. This happens alot around here (i live in Tucson, extremely high car theft rate). I know its pretty damn hard to make a defense for the windows, but my only advice would be to get a proximity sensor for your alarm, which works well if your windows arent tinted too dark.

 

So far, Trey has done an excellent job in organising what will be a top notch event.
Would it be too much to ask, to arrange for a private security firm to patrol the hotel parking were most guys will stay as previously mentioned?
I know it will be the best detterant for thieves and like most ITR owners, I would be willing to pay my share of the cost.

You can bet however, if there is no extra security, for this event, my ECU,main fuse and power socket will sleep with me!!

 

Does this proceedure you've illustrated bypass the factory disabler system as far as the chip in the key goes???

I know if it's OBD1 they don't have the chip in the keys, but for the people who have 00' and 01', wuts the deal?????

 

we havent had any recent stoles come in on the new models, i havent had time to check. but as far as the factory ignition goes (i was only able to get a black and white copy from them) it is still made out of plastic and the sensor is only for the initially key entry.. meaning the sensor is located in the front of the ignition. and is not set up to shut down as one complete unit.. which is how it should be set up,, but then they (crooks) would just go to the fuse box and manipulate it from there,,,if its not set up as a complete system there will always be holes to find . i say the new cars will start jumpiing in a year or two once we and the crooks find how to do the by passes .......its always a learning experiece,,,
oh and the iginitions you will see that they are make of a cast made metal, which can be broken off the steering column,,(which is what the photos show) which inturn make the locking steering wheel part void. so they will still be able to drive the car away...just in case you thought the steering wheel lock was in a separate part.. its all integrated in one system...

 

That key sensor may only be on the key slot, but that sensor must be activated in order for the ECU to work. I was reading all about the imobilizer system in our cars, and without a key or an electronic bypass, there is no way to make the ECU work, other than actually replacing the ECU with an ECU with the immobilizer bisabled. So, unless they have an extra ecu handy, or have something that can dupliucate the particular signal from the chip in your key, they'll have to think of something else. At any rate, if someone really really wants your car, they'll just put it on a flatbed truck and tow the bitch away, simple as that. Nothing is going to keep someone from getting your car, not matter what you do, you can just hope what ever you do makes it enough of a pain in the ass in order to disuade them from steeling yours.
