i know old civics 96 and under get jacked alot and 95 and under integras. have you guys heard of newer models of the 2000+ civic, integras being jacked? i think the 2000 integras have chipped keys.

it's alot more work considering the ECU will shut down the fuel pump and a few other things if the Immob system doesn't get the right code from the key. You could change out the ECU though to something that doesn't have a code just for the sake of driving the car away.

Some one broke into my neightbors type r. Pushed his car down the drive way and tried to hot wire the sucker. THey ended up tearing his ignition switch out and messing up his steering column...Too bad a couple months later my dumb neighbor let someone test drive his car and they never came back with it.

It is one of the best ideas from the factory's that i have seen for anti theft. To steal it you have to jump the wire from one end of the "reciever" to the other.....Bitch and a half, so it does work well but not impossible to steal.

To put that system in an older car is alot of rigging and changing, be easier and cheaper to buy newer with it already. Nothing is Impossible just either harder or more expensive jacking equipment is needed.

"


do a search on "boomerang 2" it's a passive starter kill that comes with a transponder on a key chain. when you start the car... The starter kill module needs to see the transponder chip from the key chain in oder to bypass the SK.
You mount a pick up coil some near the ign. switch, so the key chain thing is close enough to trip it...


Instead of using the starter wire in the car ( the wire that gets cut and "killed"), you could use one of the wires off your ecu...
