Default Theft Prevention
I recently had my 2000 S4 stolen, luckily the clutch blew before they got too far.

In any case, does anyone have any recomendations/suggestions regarding installing a cut-off switch. I am always skeptical about allowing some hack to fiddle with my wiring. I've heard some horror stories.

No offense, but with only one post don't expect a lot of security secrets.

2nd. This is discussed offline, typically after attending several meets and getting to know people.

Default Re: Theft Prevention
that some quick feedback.
so how does one "prove" himself on this site?

By the way, the APR system that BlackS4TT mentioned sounds good. I just spoke to APR and I'm going down to Englishtown next weekend to get the ECU flashed.
