- VT SS 5.0L Manual
Hey guys, so i moved into a new house recently and I have discovered I don't trust the area. So I'm chasing an after market security system for my SS as it lives under a carport and wouldn't be all that hard to steal.
Now I have done some research and looked at a number of different systems on the market. All of the systems i have seen either have a remote or transponder that you attach to your keys to disable the immobiliser/alarm. This is not what I want because thieves these days will break into the house to steal the keys and then steal the car.
What i want is a security system that even if you have the keys/remote etc can not be started unless you do something within the car and can be done fairly discreetly from the drivers seat. Ah a kill switch i hear you say?
Well i really don't want a kill "switch" because most thieves know they exist and will be looking for one, and within close reach of the driver they will find it pretty quickly.
I saw a system a while ago where you had to touch 2 certain metal parts in the car which were part of the trim and you use your body to complete the circuit which would bring the car to life allowing you to start it. This is exactly what im looking for. I know these systems are available for a VT because the system I have seen/used was on an SV99.
I spoke to an auto electrician who said he has seen the systems, however, not for a long time and isn't sure if they are still available.
My questions to you are.
1. Do you know the system I looking for?
2. Do you know where I can get it?
3. Do you have any alternative ideas or suggestions regarding my issue?
Thanks for all input
