Default Security?

As a brand new TT owner (as of this Saturday) I'm wondering how people like the security of their TT. Unfortunately in Vancouver the auto theft incident rate is pretty high. The areas where I live and work are pretty secure but I'd be nervous about parking it anywhere downtown.

How many of you have installed extra security features and what are they?

Loving the car...

Stefan

LoJack and I use the "Club" when parking in public areas.

Default None really needed...

Stefan,
I assume your car is equipped with the chipped key. This means that no one can start the car unless they have one of the "known" keys. They can not crack the steering column to hotwire the car. Well, they can crack the column; but the car will still not start.

The "Club" only gives a vusual clue. Most knowledgable thieves just snap the wheel. The new brake setter would be better.

LoJack would be usefull if they have stolen a key or they have towed the car.

All in all, a sticker stating that a computerized key is used would suffice.

Default Is this the "immobilizer" or something else?

What about pre-09/00 build cars that don't
have the immobilizer?

And a pre-immobilizer would benefit from the "Club" and LoJack (IMHO).
