Someone comes into my house, they will leave in a boxI like the idea of the Ghost but nothing stopping them coming in and holding you up until you put the code in.

Doesnt mean that they dont have a knife either, I do feel safer with my 4 legged mate roaming loose, I suspect he would protect us if someone did get in, but before that he would have made that much noise at least id have chance to get my trousers onThere's always someone bigger than you buddy.

We have two as well but they don’t think twice about fatally wounding dogs these days either.Doesnt mean that they dont have a knife either, I do feel safer with my 4 legged mate roaming loose, I suspect he would protect us if someone did get in, but before that he would have made that much noise at least id have chance to get my trousers on
I need the advance warning to get my motorcycle fork stanchion out of my wardrobe that I keep in there for the odd bit of weight trainingI would wager that approaching “tackle out” would likely buy you valuable seconds of confusion to outwit the intruder…
Do you also have to have a tracker as well on the car?not sure if anyone knows this, but the pandora system is decent have it on my car currently, better then the ghost in my opinion
Birmingham isn't too bad compared to Bradistan. Definitely less car theft than Manchester, Liverpool and London.hehe they are everywhere but from what I heard most in birmingham bradford
You could use a cheap £20 tracker from eBay with a prepay SIM. Most of them have an Event Log (ignition on, off, etc.) and give you a link to Google Maps or similar and can trace out route history. It won't give you video footage of what's going on but it's an indication if your mechanic is taking the pi$$ with extra long test drives.Does anyone have any recommendations on what I could use that isn’t stupidly priced for monitoring my car when parked?
I just want something that monitors my car when it’s in for a service / parked up so I can look back and see if anything untoward has happened. I don’t do many miles so a proper dash cam isn’t something I’m bothered about.
I suspect if you fit it yourself the theives will take longer to locate itGhost again and a self fitted Rewire security tracker.
Took my old one off the 8V today, forgot how deep I’d buried it

On the previous 8V, may be yes. Had mine disabled by DJalix. Not sure about 8Y. Audi have introduced, sleep technology onto the keyfob, so after a few seconds/minutes of no movement, it goes into deep sleep, thereby playing dead. Not sure if the 8Y keyfobs have them.I'm new to Audi and new to keyless entry. Will these cars still be susceptable to the signal being boosted / relayed from your key if it's nearby in a house or shop etc? I know you can use a Faraday container but that's not very handy if you're out and about. Worst case, can you disable the keyless feature an make the car only accept a button press from the remote? Thx

Will be one of the first on the task list for me, to only allow, push button on keyfob to unlock door.
Someone on the Golf R forum was complaining (they actually have a Gremlins thread whic is very busy) that his car kept turning the lights on and off when parked in his drive. Turned out he had the feature ''Turn headlights on when approaching car'' set to on and his key was just on the edge of the activation distanceThanks for the replies. It's good to know that Audi is beginning to respond to the threat. I did remember reading something about the distance checking feature too but I haven't been able to find whether that's definitely a feature of this new model. In any case I'm going to pick up a Faraday box and 2 pouches on Amazon Black Friday offer!
Garage always pull the power lead on mine when it's in for a service.I may need to be corrected here, but garages have the right to disconnect any (dash) camera in use whilst you're car is in for service/work.
Good gap cover and a steering lock and you're pretty indestructible mate. I wouldn't want it back after they've had it anyway tbh even if it was undamaged.Anyone know of any good trackers I can hide in the car? Not bothered about a ghost etc if they really want the car they can take it, got a disklok for now but would like a tracker for my own sake.
Fair enough mate! Thats what insurance is for I guessGood gap cover and a steering lock and you're pretty indestructible mate. I wouldn't want it back after they've had it anyway tbh even if it was undamaged.
I am still in 2 minds about tracker. An approved Tracker Allegedly brings the costs of the insurance by a tad, being the only benefit.Fair enough mate! Thats what insurance is for I guess
Buy a couple of those Apple AirTags and hide em in carAnyone know of any good trackers I can hide in the car? Not bothered about a ghost etc if they really want the car they can take it, got a disklok for now but would like a tracker for my own sake.

Yeah I did this but as above it alerts and the person can turn it offBuy a couple of those Apple AirTags and hide em in car
Rarely. They now have to be cat 6 iirc and the installation and subscription costs outweigh the savings. My insurer, admiral, give no discount. Only really worth it if the vehicle is rare or valuable.I am still in 2 minds about tracker. An approved Tracker Allegedly brings the costs of the insurance by a tad, being the only benefit.

trackers rely on the vehicle being recovered before its stripped and the tracker is found.
I know mention not a dashcam but I disagreem i think the best option is what i have a dashcam with battery back up - have it on both the s3 and rs3.Does anyone have any recommendations on what I could use that isn’t stupidly priced for monitoring my car when parked?

so you have to be careful then if you move your key when you go to bed@M3 Convert Audi have developed a system for the 8Y whereby that the key knows whether it has physically moved or not. After a short time of no movement, the key (fob) becomes 'dead' and is not active to radio signals.
From what I take from this is that if you come home at 5pm, and by 5:15 the key is 'dead' and hasn't moved, if at 11pm someone tries to enhances the relay signal to the car it will not work unless the key have physically been moved within a certain period of time (not sure what the time is yet). So I think when the key is dead the car can only be opened by the fob itself if you move it/pick it up.
Lol absolutely not.Do you think removing the RS3 badges on the front/rear would be enough to put them off the scent?
Autowatch are in Kent, you could ask them if there’s a installer near youI want to get a Ghost for mine. Struggling to find any reputable installers in my area (south beds/herts). Google doesn’t give very much back when i search and most installers all seem to be up north…
