those hu with the codes are a waste of money becaues the person steeling your hu doesent know it wont work without the code and he"ll just resale it to someone who doesent know any better or trow it away your still out of a hu save your money. is there any indash cd/dvd player that has a detachable face if not i wont buy

Originally posted by picklekx i think companies should have an code so if some one steals it they need a code to get it wokrking again.

GM uses that same principle on their factory H/U's.....Theftlock

You can disable the code on a kenwood. You need to know the specific button combination on the remote to press to reset it back to factory. Kenwood authorized reps charge about 40-60 dollars to reset it plus shipping.

there are also a couple of headunits ive seen out there where you swipe like a credit card that comes with the deck to engage a theft lock u dont have to swipe it every time you turn it on, i think you swipe it when u want to activate it and have to swipe it again to deactivate.

I drive a jeep wrangler so i know a lil about theft deterence, what i do to keep my HU from being stolen is first take my faceplate everywhere, second there is a steel braided cable hooked to the back of my HU and bolted to my firewall, 3rd always leave your glove compartment unlocked, because if the face is missing and they want the HU the first place they look is the glove compartment and if its locked it takes about 3 seconds for them to fix that with a prybar and cause u 300 dollars easily in factory replacement dash parts, even more expensive for cars with airbags

yeah...the headunits with the key cards are the higher end Blaupunkt's. It don't matter anymore for me though. Some ******* rear ended me and just about destroyed my entire install. No equip damage though. Hey...anybody out there got a CRX for sale?

Theftlock....who the fuk steals a factory head unit.....man i can get atleast 25.00 bucks for this!

 

[DaveVT 10+ year member]

actually taylor, you can get quite a bit for newer factory CD players. Hell, the one for my friends jeep sells on ebay used for over 200.00. I hard They actually make alarms out there where they install a small metal plate unser the door handle so if someone trys to open your door they get a hell of a shock.

 

[Slowboarder 10+ year member]

yea they make alarms that shock people, they also make a club like thing that goes on your steering wheel, when the person tries to remove the club they get a shock equal to that of a taser gun. hehehehe

key cards same thing the person steeling your stuff doesent know it wont work without it THERE IS NO SUBSITUTE FOR TAKEING OFF THE FACE and where can i find out about those type of shock alarms

 

[DaveVT 10+ year member]

You can also position it in front of your stereo so a thief cant even get his hands on it without a hell of a shock.

I like this shocking idea. The link posted takes me somewhere else.

Any other link for this shocking thing?

I think its a good idea cause they can't sue if their not "damaged"
