Icon3 Yes they still want our Accords!

I just saw an article posted four hours ago about how Accords are still among the 10 most stolen cars in America and thought I'd share ...

Doesn't give a year or years of the models. Kind of misleading. I would suspect that it is the 94-97s, still new enough to be found commonly. Old enough to not have any security, and reliable enough that mileage doesn't matter.

Get an Autolock for the pedal and a club jammed between the shifter and handbrake. Along with some form of anti-start/kill switch device that cannot be easily bypassed if they rip out the ignition switch wiring. Something that requires an additional removable key or bypass rather than a random toggle buried somewhere.

If you really don't give, you can purchase from England device that hooks onto the steering wheel, like the club, but has an added feature. It is a taser, try to remove it without the key and get blasted.

I wouldn't bother with a Lo-Jack system as they never matured into the traceable system we all wanted/expected. Easier to use a system that you can track via GPS or other open source programs.

Or you could just install the MagnaVolt...

hahahaha jesus christ. I like how it just randomly secures the person whom is just sitting there. I put a nice alarm system on my 96, It has done its duties as I've witnessed on the camera watching my car. Sensitive enough to go off when big C130's glide low and loud enough to wake the dead haha. Issue I keep having is its just too easy to jimmy into the windows. They move out of the way easily and people are making master keys that work on almost any accord due to age. I also set a sequence with hondata so you have to know it to start the car. I would imagine my car would be a nightmare to move but you never know
