Very interesting. I wonder what the extra security measures were if they had the fob . They had to climb out of the window so obviously couldn’t open the door. Very strange. Lucky owner. Hopefully they tell their slimy friends and they won’t try another Vette.Security footage captures attempted carjackers at Grimsby home fail to steal vehicles
Niagara police say extra security measures on the vehicles prevented thieves from stealing them despite breaking into a Grimsby home and stealing the keys.
Maybe some of you have seen this? In Grimsby.
I’m thinking the guy had a ghost system installed or something similar. Parked outside so he added a kill system for sure. You can see the guy try to start the car a few times.
You can open the door for sure. Safety feature in case the battery dies after you fall asleep going through the car wash…
A remote controlled battery disconnect relay should get the job done. A friend of mine installed one and it works a treat . It’s on my to do list. So probably next season , lol . Here’s a short link to that type of product…..
Ya . There is a huge selection. As often the case, too many choices. I would go for one with a high current rating . Not easy to quickly bypass if the scum bags even clued in that it was installed. They are all very reasonably priced it seems . You just want to make sure that the one you get has CSA or UI or similar certification.
I'd prefer one not so obvious also.
I haven’t taken a close look yet to see if it would fit but I think it would be under the snap on cover over the battery compartment wouldn’t it ?
That’s a valid point. There had been some discussion about this previously but nobody seemed to know how long it takes for the system to “ reboot “ after power is restored and the system connects to the servers. Do you happen to know ? Ignition interruption would be preferable but a lot easier to install a battery disconnect for the average Joe/Jane/They .
No idea but imagine having to setup your custom settings and seats and all that over and over. It’s like paying for extras you can’t use.
Sure but you likely won’t get that done for $75.00 . You would think that every GM car obviously has a unique ID , so the server should easily be able to restore your settings automatically when you reconnect to the system. I just re- installed Amazon Music on a new PC the other day and bingo in less than a minute all of my saved songs, podcasts and playlists popped right up. Surely GM should be capable of doing the same but to be honest I have no idea. Worth looking into. Would not be that difficult to find out yourself by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to see what happens.
There's a cover? LOL
Just dug this up . A few different options.

Absolutely. It’s just a relay after all. They aren’t that large and you have the convenience of the remote control. More than one way to skin a dog..
Should be plenty of room if you chose that option.
