Really?! That's scary to hear. I always thought hondas and acuras will always be the #1 stolen vehicles.

In the early 90's they were... especially Camry's. My friend just had all his Wheels stolen from his car the other day. Brand new Accord .. w/ stockers. And in Long Island. some crap.

there most likely is.. I've heard of tricking the ECU or pluggin in a different ecu from another evo... there's always a way to steal a car.

i have that same auto lock i put on my clutch also. i thought that thing was impossible to remove without the key. this makes me even more cautious where i park my car. are you sure no one's pulling a totally f***ed up joke on you?

/\ if you have a aftermerket alarm with a starter kill and a backup battery your chances of survival are better than most. I also have 6 sirens 3 in and 3 out.....yea its loud.

You can also get gps for the dei alarms as well.....better the be safe then sorry...no pun intended..

it's supposed to be something that the ecu recognizes the chip in your key to start the car. that and only that is the only that's supposed to be able to start you car. SUPPOSEDLY.

Flash the ECU with Tactrix and change the immobilizer code to a key you have with you?

Not sure if that would work, but seems like it might.
