Theft Deterrent

So if anyone is looking for a solution to some security concerns about vehicle theft due to remote fob signal boosting here you go. It's a NEW LARGE RFID blocker case that now fits the Cadillac Fobs. I have several of these for my vehicles now and not only do they look sharp, but they work amazingly! The fob doesn't emit a signal (even when standing next to it) until you crack open the case. Follow the link below and use PROMO code VAULT-10 at checkout to save 10%.

Cadillac fobs need the LARGE case.

The GoDark® Vault - Key Fob Faraday Cage

Precision milled from a solid block of aluminum, the GoDark Vault Key Fob Faraday Cage offers the ultimate in key fob protection. Simply place your fob in the GoDark Vault and sleep better at night knowing your car will still be there in the morning.

I bought a less aesthetically pleasing but much cheaper option over a year ago for our fobs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MDF5TX9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just keep those hanging on the key hooks and they stay there when we take keys out for a car. I keep all the spare fobs for our cars in a simple faraday box: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W94QLKM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Both work well.

I also keep my fobs in pouches like above. Cheap and effective.

Well, after spending over $100k on a Cadillac, I'm not too worried about going "Cheap". GoDark Vaults are machined from aluminum and are very high quality.

I thought that was what a manual transmission was for?

Looks comfortable. The design is very human.

That's exactly what I expected after reading the subject......

Purchased these ones & like 'em. A little more pocket/purse friendly with the softer material for when you're out & fits the everything on my keychain w/out being too large.

I was a little nervous when I first read this but then I remembered that only the 5BW 6MT cars are worth stealing anyway so I’m safe.

In a related post, @Tall Steve is only selling the 4 because he over cleaned the dash and now it's sticky.

She is not gone yet, because if I don't get a "fair" amount on trade I will keep her and do a 24 month loan on the XT4....

Not true, that was your dash and the others guys fault, lol....

Things are pretty abysmal these days on trade-ins. I got an email last week from Carvana for my Mercedes, that I traded in 11 months ago, and the offer was $15K less than the offer from 11 months ago. I got lucky when I traded it since it was right before the used market began to slide. If for some reason I didn’t get a MY22 Blackwing and had to wait for a MY23 that could have cost me another $25K factoring in the new car price increase.

Is this and the OBD lock really necessary with the MT? Probably a dumb question.

A MT car got stolen from the garage at my wife’s work (hospital in Oakland), and the thief only got a block before abandoning hope… it completely ruined the transmission though.

I use the Soler Performance Throttle Controller as a theft deterrent -- Device(s) to Help Prevent Cadillac From Being Stolen?

 

[piranha971]

Plenty of manual atsvs and camaros have gotten stolen. MT is not a deterrent

I think that is more or less an old joke on all car forums. They just disconnect the battery and winch the car up on a flatbed. AT left in park, MT left in gear.
