Just chatting to a mate at lunch and he was telling me how one of his mates came back to his car after work a few days ago to find that some a-holes had actually jacked up his car, unbolted his exhaust and made away with the cat converter!! Confusedhock:

This got me thinking....is it possible to integrate some kind of tilt/motion sensor onto our cars to prevent thieves from towing/jacking our cars?

So aftermarket is the only way to go? Would be really cool if a box of tricks could be conjured up to trigger the stock alarm system.

Bummer. I would think it's gotta be possible? I mean. I'm no electronics whiz but it shouldn't be more than a tilt sensor like one used in another alarm system and then some other bits to trigger an alarm event (like bonnet lift)?

I'm prolly oversimplifying it tho.

I have no idea what you mean Wink

You could fit a mercury switch and wire it in series with one of the door open switches. That'd do it. It might turn on the interior lights every time you went over a bump though, and you'd struggle arming the alarm on a hill :lol:

SHAHZ lol at your thread titles :laugh:

I thought the same thing, is it the thread titles or a reflection on our minds? :whistling:

Got to admit I was surprised when I first found out the IS doesn't have a sensor to prevent it getting towed, as most high end cars generally do.
