    you don't even need to do that. A simple wire from the battery positive to the solenoid (as it earths through its body) and she starts.

    At least the car was there.

    The previous owner of my vehicle left me with his old club lock too which I use as well.

    Need to get off my ass and get one of those GPS trackers one day though.

    That was my experience with the HSV. No security system in the world can stop a tow truck, the tracking system however was enough to recover the car and lead to a conviction. In that instance I was using a commercial tracking service which included the ability to remotely turn off the car

    The problem these days is the real pros use GPS and other signal jammers (which are relatively available now).

    I do agree with Clunk too, it's not a great idea to let any potential thief know what security measures you have in place via this forum.

    Worrying thing is if they can't steal it they smash it and trash it. Had my daily drive done a few years back. Came back from a show, all windows broken and tyres down. Cops just said it was a bad area. For Perth peeps, it was in Burswood in a well lit street.
    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder


    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.
