PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 15y 10m 5d Gender: Male Posted 30/04/10 11:06 PM Share Posted 30/04/10 11:06 PM Hi Guys,How good are the standard anti theft systems in the FG XR6T? I know - if they want it they will get it. The anti theft system is unlikely to stop car jacking and theft of the car with the key. Where do we store the spare keys for our cars? Bunnings sells small safes for around $40.Has anybody had an FG that did not involve any of the above theft methods? Is there a need for aftermarket security?PAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one in my old car which was great and saved it from theft when a holiday unit was broken into while we slept. Along with everything else my keys taken, however couldn't start the car as they didn't know the code. I still have it as I removed it before selling but it doesn't work with the CANBUS electrical system in fords. The one in the link will work with CANBUS system.coded immobiliser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 30/04/10 11:53 PM Share Posted 30/04/10 11:53 PM It can be a nightmare loosing your keys. I lost my Calais keys and the car was useless. I could get around needing th key to start it. But I could only get it to run for about 20 min before the ecu security cut in and stopped it. Lesson learnt is to not be in such a rush to get in the surf. Most key places will get your code off your keys now while they are in order working for nothing. It really is worth doing. Then you can have the code on your phone, laptop a few places and loosing your keys is just 100 buck problem not a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 15y 10m 5d Gender: Male Posted 01/05/10 10:05 AM Author Share Posted 01/05/10 10:05 AM Thanks Guys,I started to panic a tad after I read about the guy who lost his ute. I thought my FG had deadlocking. That's not the case if you can break the window and release the locking mechanism using the inside door handle. I'd prefer the Late model camira locking systems thanks very much Mr Ford.The code pad sounds like a good idea. Either that or sleep with the key in your jocks when you're in a motel room.

Yeah I used to love the deadlock on the commo, great for locking the kids in the car when you go to play the pokies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would've helped. I said how the holiday unit was broken into... after 20 seconds with no code put in the alarm went off - which was loud! So at 3am 2 different people in the hotel rang management complaining about my alarm going off in the basement, do you think anyone went to look why it was going off? Of course not. So it wasn't until 8am when we got up that we realised that all our sh*t (laptops, phones, cash) was gone. My car keys an my mums were gone too. My car was still there, my mums brand new peugeot wasn't, found my keys ditched in a garden. Coded immobiliser is the only way to go as far as I'm concerned. Man haven't seen Planes trains and Automobiles in ages - will have to watch it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
