Even for keyless entry where they just extend the range of the key so the doors pop open?Just disabling the port or moving it will work almost as well as an expensive autowatch option and should be the minimum people do to thier cars.
OBD ports are a liability.

Fair enough, ghost would have still stopped them though or the obd port thing of course.It'd be some amplifier as I was over a mile away
Cossington Road Rav,yeah am not happyabsolutely gutted for you Jason!!!! where was it taken from??
Hi, I'm no techy or clued up on thievery, but in having an AWG would this not be an alternative way of nicking a car, as all the thief would need to do is pinch the phone? They may not realise it has any device on it until they walk past the car and find as they do the car unlocks itself (if the Bluetooth App is on ) and happy days they're off!No help now but get AWG fitted on the next one.

No mate you are mistaken..
The auto watch ghost makes you press a few buttons in the car itself, in certain order, before you can start the car.
For example, heated rear window, volume up, fog light or whatever, in any combination of your choice..
Something like that anyway.
No apps or third party add ons, just a sequence of buttons need to be entered before the engine will fire
Newest version (AWG2) is app enabled, so it only has to detect your phone with the app running. You don’t need to push any in car buttons.
Is that so?
I didn't know that..
I would prefer the original mark 1 version if that's the case
I don't use the phone app and don't know anyone that does. Wouldn't recommend using it either for the reason you mention.Hi, I'm no techy or clued up on thievery, but in having an AWG would this not be an alternative way of nicking a car, as all the thief would need to do is pinch the phone?

I put it into the perspective Karl that the police are so short staffed that they cannot keep teenagers safe from knives so my car will be classed as non urgent,also my insurance company seem to be rather quiet but renewal time they seemed so eager to contact me lol.So sorry to read this, to much of this going on and the police seem to be unable to do anything. Even when they catch the people little seems to happen with them.
I had my car attempted last year and feel gutted for you, however if you do get it back check for a hidden magnetic tracker....
Glad your insurance settled Jase. Good that you don’t have to rush on your next purchase. What you going to get as your next purchase? xMy insurance has settled with a reasonable figure for the car and also gave me some money towards the cargo I had in there (sparco boot tidy, helmets,vagcom with laptop,fitness tracker etc)
I look forward to searching for a new car but having an 03 R32 as a loaner from my mate means I have time on my hands.
