Okay guy my car alarm broke a while back and while I know it really does not matter alarm or not I have some security. Do you think it is a good idea to take my ecu out of the car when I go somewhere I think the car could be stolen? The car will not run on an untuned ecu and I dont think car theifs carry ecu's around with them??? Good or bad idea?

 

One of the best anti-theft methods is taking your ECU with you, the only option that leaves a thief is towing it.

 

Swap it with bogus ECU ( empty/broken) as a decoy.
Make them work harder and longer for a dead end effort

Tell that to the theif that got caught in my car and the cops left a spare p28 and a 99 si unit. That the theif had. And they left the vise grips. Most smart crooks come prepared.

 

Guess I may have to step it up a little more-
