Default It's easy. Some guy had his stolen so he posted the secret for all to read:

Default awesome

i know a few kids that are up at rutgers. i'm from md but go to ga tech.

there really hasn't been mcuh talk of b6 a4's being stolen, i've been on here since summer '02 and can only think of a small handful of ppl getting their car stolen. also its usually by someone getting ahold of the keys, towing the car, or doing something crazy. the immobilizer III is pretty awesome, but nothing is perfect and if someone wants your car bad enough, they'll get it.
on the b5 s4 you could drill into the door and then basically the car is yours.

good luck.

I think because it is against the law to steal them.

Default Stolen

My B8 S4 was recently stolen with no signs of forced entry. Had two other people in my neighborhood have the same happen. Thinking is that it is a key spoof model the thieves are using where they pickup the RFID signal at your house and then amplify it to the car. Was told I should put my keys in the freezer....


Quick Reply: i'm told our a4's can't be stolen without the actual key...if this is true why are some a4's stolen.
