    Put a fake kill switch under the steering column and hook up the fake kill switch to honk the horn and turn interior light on unless the real kill switch is on. Bonus points for making a transistor circuit that keeps the horn and lights on even when the switch is off. Also the real kill switch would be a 3 way that can disable it :)

      The car windows are made of glass, So not a good idea. Instead have a dash cam (preferably hidden) that silently records any movement inside & outside the car. Then let the social justice take care of the rest. Just in case the dirt-bag decides to take the cam, the footage should be discretely stored (in real-time) at a separate not easy to find/reach place.

    I learned about these techniques years ago when I had cars and motorcycle stolen from me. Last night, I heard a loud repetitive banging noise at 11 PM. I went to investigate as I knew exactly what that noise was (most likely) and noticed a getaway car just idling at a stoplight while someone else was in a parked vehicle in a driveway. I called the police and was able to thwart a vehicle theft because I had the exact same thing done to me.

    Very cool explanations.

      The thing with the kill switch is you need to use your imagination.
      I've owned multiple cars with kill switches. Every Killswitch was in a different place. Every Killswitch was of a different style. They're suppose to be hidden.
      Basically find a place in your car to hide a switch. A place that you will be able to reach and find easily but no one else will. And then just like you said you wire it in to your ignition. Blamo done.
      An install video would show him cut one wire strip the ends, wire in a switch and then tell you to hide the switch.

      David Stacy did one on that. You can also do a simple fuse install which will kill power to the starter when fuse is removed. Installing fuse in an inconspicuous spot will guarantee no theft unless tow truck is used. In which case you shouldn't be driving your sic ride in the hood to begin with.

    Back in the 1980s I put kill switches on both my old VWs. They got broken into but never stolen. Chipped keys are the best to thwart thieves, better yet a chipped key with a manual transmission. Also with the keyless entry: thieves can sit in parking lots with scanners and pick up the signal from a nearby car when the driver parks and leaves to go into the building. That makes the scanner the 'keyless entry' device and the thief simply walks up, unlocks the car, and drives away.

      Put a "two pin turn signal flasher" in the power supply cable to the fuel pump and fit a switch that bypasses it. Of course you drive with the switch in bypass but a the thieve... well, they will start the car... but then it will stall. Then they will start it again.... and it will stall. This draws attention to them. People come and ask if they need a hand. Or if the car is parked outside your house at night... it may wake someone.

  • @NotEvenDeathCanSaveU
    @NotEvenDeathCanSaveU Před 5 lety +76

    The best way to protect your car overally cheaply based on my fathers recommendation who works in a company developing and rating car security systems:
    1. A cheap kills switch installment
    2. Independent alarm installment
    3. Cheap GPS installment
    Everything explained below:
    1. The most important: a kill switch.. Super cheap installment of a standard electrical switch with cables, the switch will cut power to either ignition or battery power or the best option imo a power that goes to a fuel pump, however its very important to perfectly hide this switch where it cant be easily seen, only reached with finger/s.. This is a must have especially for keyless entry cars but works perfectly on any other car as thieves will either have to find the switch what you should make impossible by hiding it perfectly or by disassembling the floor looking for the additional connections, yeah... neither one of these is going to happen, thieves are usually in a hurry, they dont want to get caught..
    2. A independent car alarm.. A bit more pricey like few hundred of dollars max but worth it.. The type of alarm that when silently triggered upong car entry you have 10/20 seconds to disarm it by for example an RFID chip that you normally carry on your keyring or w/e, and if you fail to disarm it within the time, the alarm goes off honking or even powering up a siren if you additionally buy one.. The best thing is going to be the independence, as thieves might think they got inside the car the legit way, the independent car alarm wont actually give a f*ck thus making a lot of noise bringing attention to thieves what will make them run for sure..
    3. Cheap GPS module that use GPS and GSM to communicate, perfectly hidden inside the car, (make it as hard to get to as possible, powering it on 12V in your car).. These normally communicate withing SMS about more than just their GPS location, some can even send info like when the car was started.. More expensive ones can even communicate thru the internet data so you can check where your car is any time with your smartphone.. Its recommended to have more of these cheap ones as when thieves would find one, they might think theres no more, however we should assume they wont find any as you should make it as hard to get to as possible, they wont have time to strip the whole car looking for these devices..
    To best protect from any regular car thief there is out there, just install all of these 3 things mentioned above and their chances of stealing your car will drop almost to zero.. Just note that none of these might help against professional car thieves..If they cant find the switch or start the car they might just return later towing your car away, if they notice independent car alarm they might just pop the hood and kill your honkers and siren in like 10 seconds.. If they think that there are GPS modules in your car they might use GSM blocking devices or devices that point out the GSM traffic thus easily finding these modules... You wont have a chance if professional car thieves target your car, however chances that they will are insanely low as this kind of people usually target the most expensive super cars for example..
    Well thats it.. I hope this helps someone.. Have a nice day and please upvote so more people can effectively protect their cars

      @@Curiousnessify It doesnt but high quality alarm system with gps is just as effective as cheap alarm + gps which you can install yourself..Common people with slight paranoia usually go for cheap gps and killswitch at the very least, that means if you hide the switch very well, they ll have to both tow the car while actively block the gsm signals to succesfuly steal it meaning just the common thieves like for example relay thieves wont have a chance

Theres just a driveway, actual fences at property are less common than in the europe, I dont really live there, I was there a couple of times, esp in CA as on vacation but yeah, restricted.... I have no idea what you mean, Another thing with refueling, no one says the thieves will travel that far to target someones keyless car, they ll go just far enough where 20% of tank will be enough to get it into place and dismantle it to the last bolt.. All you need is a basic woodshack into which you hide the car, then they usually leave the GSM blocking device on and on charger just to be sure if there was some GPS installed in the car.. If you do some research on these car thieves, all this stuff I am mentioning here will sound pretty familiar to you, its pretty basic stuff imo

    I bought a car at an auction (Copart) and it did not come with a key. They (the dealer) said that standard procedure is for the owner of the car (with the title and registration in his name) to come and ask for a key, but since I had a receipt from Copart saying that I bought it, they went ahead and made the key for me. It makes me wonder, what if I had of printed out a counterfeit auction receipt and went to the dealer with that? The receipt wasn't any sort of fancy paper, it was ordinary 8.5 X 11 paper that you get from Wal-mart. I didn't think of that until this video.

    Marc Smith's guaranteed ways of preventing car theft:
    1. Drive a car at least 20 years old.
    2. Get VIN etching on all the glass.
    3. Customize it. Some really fancy pinstriping is good.

    Leave the key tumbler out and dangle some wires so it looks like somebody already tried to steal it. Then install a remote starter or on/off switch. Maybe a pair of cut off handcuffs and empty 9mm casings on the floor? Wire your low gas light so it's always on?

      Better idea, Pipe with a spring in it and a metal spike with a latch/trigger mechanism under the seat. "cock" the metal spring/spike and have the trigger spring connected to a servo or something thats wired to ignition fuse. Make sure to have a on/off switch wired inline. But if its on and someone tries to take the car they get a nice metal spike right up through the seat into their ass!. Seat=cheaper than new car

    One piece of advice that I have given to many other CZcamsrs is that if somebody gets to your channel and is viewing your videos for the very first time you should really give them a chance to actually watch your video and see what your content is about before they subscribe to your Channel or like the video that's like buying something before you even know what it is it doesn't work that way

    You can also just turn the fob off if you have keyless ignition/entry. Usually you just hold the lock button down on the fob and press the unlock button on the fob twice. This turns the fob off so it is no longer transmitting.
    All you have to do to use the fob again is just to press any button and that turns it back on again.

  • @LostBoy1026

    Great video brother. I knew the way to secure the older vehicles with the switch but I had no idea about how thieves were stealing newer vehicles. I grew up in projects housing in south Florida and people would steal or try and steal our rides all the time in the 80's and early 90's that didn't have the chip in the key. So we always had alarms on our rides not just to keep car thieves from stealing our ride but so crackheads would most of the time be scared off from breaking in and ripping our stereo systems. By the way I appreciate all your other videos. I've been rebuilding old rides my whole life and finally went to school and got a degree in automotive engineering, rebuild, transmission rebuild, electrical and automotive fundamentals. For me electrical class for newer cars was not my best subject in all the classes so when I have an electrical issue I can't figure out you're the first channel on CZcams I go to. Thanks again for all the help and the videos! When you do read this I do have an electrical issue I'm having with my 92 isuzu pickup 2.3l 5 speed. No one has been about to figure it out and I'd like to know if I let you know the issue could you possibly give me your best opinion or advice or things to test other than all the things I've tested already. I'll just let you know now it's an electrical charging system issue. If you have the time at some point if you read this could you either respond on here that you can try to help with some advice or possibly email me and I'll email you the issue and what I've tested already. It has me and a lot of people confused on what it could be. Thank you. And if you don't have time I'll understand. But if you can help and think it's a good subject to do a video on after I let you know the issue and can help figure it out that would be great. I'm hoping it's something simple lol. Ok thanks again. I'm not sure if my email is on here or not or if I'm allowed to post it on here or not? Sorry for the long post. Hope you get around to reading it. Have a great weekend.

    Excellent presentation my man. With the keyless entry and start, the trick is to keep that fob in a wallet or pouch that has that is lined with metal foil or mesh in order to block he RFID signal. This is known as a Faraday Cage. They are readily available on Amazon. Personally I would never want a vehicle with a push button start.

    Good info. I had a car stolen exactly as described in method 1, they used a big screwdriver to punch out the door lock, then same again to smash the steering lock and ignition. I saw the thieves later in town but could not prove it was them. I then got one of those through the steering wheel bars, a pain to put on but better than having another car smashed up.
    That method 3 looks like poo, a fob always emitting RF!? stoopid.

    6 best ways to prevent theft. 1: install a quick release steering wheel. 2 & 3: install a fuel pump and ignition kill switch and hide them in 2 separate locations. 4: install a 2 way alarm system with a hood and trunk pin switch to activate when opened as well as a glass shatter sensor. 5 install locking hood latches for cars as well as locking tonneau covers for trucks. And finally 6 this would be optional but anti penetrating window tint like the one viper makes, will prevent people from drilling and or shattering the windows to gain access.
