What's LoJack? I need that. I still need to fix my knock sensors and I need brakes and rotors witch are holding me back from fixing all my broken door lock actuators. Iv met people who are masters at car theft and its as easy as a huge magnet over the battery to disable an alarm would lo jack be disabled by that? Is it a device installed in the car? I don't live in the best part of town

that looks like a aftermarket Ti exhaust for ISF?

lo jack is a hidden gps device hidden in your car, and is connected directly to police gps,\
this system can olny be installed at dealers of places certified by police!!
as soon as you report the car stolen the transmitter on your car sends gps signals to the police of the exact location.
as soon as they get the report police already know where it is

it happened in SoCal
they had already put the car into a closed garage removed the battery and had it covered.
the sheriff said they confiscated a (Lazer/Key Cutter that with just typing the vin they can cut a key in seconds and with a scanner bypass any alarm factory or not,

he said that this equipment is being made in japan....
that now high end car are target because with this new technology
stealin luxury cars is as easy as a honda with a viper alarm....lol

holy ****ttt that sounds insane, I always imagined a dealer can do that since all they really need is the VIN number and they can make you a new key. That makes it SO easy to steal new cars, type a VIN make yourself a key and simply drive the helll off. Kind of scary how easy it is now and days.
