The RF Lockout Is Done, What's Next?

[drag racer]

^^^ 2018 and later they added the SGW module, but that was more to keep tuners out I thought - not sure if that also adds security?

I'm also wondering if these thieves pull up next to a potential target and run a scan and can tell if the RF hub is locked? The guys that got mine parked next to it for a few before re-positioning their vehicle to execute the theft.

The things I've watched show someone connecting to the OBD port and using something as simple as Alfa OBD to get the RF Hub PIN. I don't know how it's done without getting in the car.

Has there been any update on your car? The threads you had going all devolved into political debates and were locked or removed.

It was found stripped to the bones. Total loss. 😢😢

That really sucks to hear. It was far too nice a car for that to be its ultimate fate. Im sure the insurance payout was a kick in the nuts for what the car was actually worth.

I always secretly hoped he'd move on to something else, and I could buy GoManGo!

What's the replacement going to be @Speedy! ?

I think he had agreed value.

@clv22p that other forum is too much like FB so I just garner nuggets of info here and there from that place. Way too much arguing for my taste and I'm glad those threads got deleted honestly. I didn't even start them just people that heard what happened.

There's a thread here in the "Anything Goes" forum that I'm keeping updated.

I've been keeping my eyes open for something to replace it, but with Redeyes going for way too much money I'm gonna have to be patient if I want another of those. Porche 911 Turbo is another option but my friends are already giving me crap about that asking if I'm gonna drink my beer with my pinky out and grow a man bun lol.

It really sucks since I'd sorta massaged that car in to what was really the perfect street strip car, at least for me. When I put on the 2.7L supercharger that SDG Motorsports worked over it put it just a little over the edge for a street car, but was still manageable with some throttle input tuning. Everyone says they want 1000hp street car, well they're a handful. I could barely get a decent data log after the 2.7 blower due to the tires just lighting up at 75% throttle and 80mph.

I would sell you one @Speedy! but it’s like which child do you make sleep on the floor.

I've been playing with blue tooth trackers, quite successfully, more successfully than I'd have originally guessed.

I don't do Apple, but got an Iphone 7 basically free and played with some airtags. Worked great. I'm gonna test Tile with Android next, but it's looking to be a great option if you live in an area with decent wifi coverage and other people around. Was able to follow my wife's car all over town Monday.

Another option I've looked at is an inexpensive GPS tracker. I found one that's just barely bigger than the keyfob, connects to the car battery for power, and has a backup 5 hour battery for around $40. To get GPS service you buy a cheap SIM card for it with a monthly plan, found one for $5/mo then integrate it with the GPS app. So that would be a great option as well. I believe you can even set geofence alerts and it'll text you etc.

Yep. This is what happens when you're bored and waiting for someone.

Has anyone here had a Compustar alarm installed? I'm curious how expensive it is and any downsides people may have noted. I like the additional sensors and the Drone capability. Not sure I'll go that far yet but I'd like to know how the price compares to IGLA.

 

[Mean Cat]

I've done none of these yet that all of you have. It pretty much stays in the garage. When I do drive it, I don't park it, just out for a drive. If I do go in a store, it stays in my eye site & is protected with the 45 in my waist band.
I think I will do a GPS tracking with alert & if I was parking & leaving it for a bit somewhere. I will pull the starter relay. About the best you can do, because you will never stop the wrecker driver that hooks & books to the chop shop. With the GPS tracker you can be on that quick.

How and who do you go to to get an agreed value policy?

Your current company should be able to offer it? Classic cars, jewelry, family airloms, etc. Agreed value is a common thing (I believe).

We’re talking about a hellcat why would you get classic car insurance on it I’m talking like nationwide lol

I was using examples of agreed value items. You can get a quote on agreed value for anything if insurance company allows for it. Have to check. Hellcats are becoming classic cars very quickly.

 

[drag racer]

Hellcats and other high performance newer cars are known as "Modern Classics" - at least with Hagerty.

Most collector car insurance companies offer it.
