HSV Security/Theft

[Davecdp]

Hi all,

I'm interested to know how all the latest HSV anti theft measures are working and how many cars are getting stolen? Is it more common for the older models because they don't have the latest anti theft equipment? Are the data dots deterring theft for parts?

I know any car can be stolen if its really wanted but what’s the best way to make my 2003 Clubby harder to steal and how good is the factory alarm/immobiliser? I've always believed the crooks get the new models and learn how to steal them etc, so aftermarket additions to the alarm can be worthwhile.

According to my insurance company HSV's are still very high risk, does this prove they are easy to steal and are getting stolen?

Thanks,
Dave

Holden Assist would have helped, but I dont think it can be retro fitted.

Yeh Holden Assist seems like the best way because they nab those stolen vehicles within a few days as you see on the news. They should be able to install it after it's built, I dont see why not as they are going to get your money!

There are after market ones. There was a thread about it previously. Ill find it hang on

If you read the fine print, Holden says that they won't be involved in negotiations as far as insurance goes.

Still, you're likely to get a saving.

quik trak, while it doesnt have some of the fetures as holden assist, as anti theft goes, its great protection.
