I locked my keys in the car at autobarn (very embarrasing) So i went in and asked if they had a vl key. He replied "HA you dont need a key to get into those things!"( - Thread edited - SirGeo ) And POP the door was unloked! If ive ever been paranoid of my car being broken into, The time is now. Im going to get an alarm now! Be carefull where you leave ure car guys!!!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well done, you just told every theif that decides to look at these forums how to break into a vl...

lol. They already knew it. Yea Early commodores and falcons are easy as to break into. That would have been so embarrassing locking your keys in ur car at auto barn. Especialy if there were a heap of ppl in the car park.

true, a lot of people know already how to do that, breaking into a commo isnt rocket science. thing is you dont even need to do that, you just need any early commo key. have your locks removed totally and have remote locks installed, or maybe try solex's. -jimmy

Personally id prefer the method above wont have to get anything fixed! Where theres a will theres a way. If they wanna get in they will! Even if you do have super dooper alarm. they dont know it has one till the door is opend (after they smash your window or drill the locks)

Guy's try not to give anyone tips on how to steal our cars.

hehehe u can't stop em from getting in teh car, any 10 year old can do it. Although u can make it alot harder for em to drive the car away.

fine let them smash your windows

you'd have to be CRAZY to own an decent VL and not at least have an immobiliser fitted, or better, a complete ultrasonic detection system, and even anti-tow!!!! you were lucky!!!

sorry, what i should have said was: well done you have just told every theif who decides to look at these forums another methed for breaking into vls...

my method besides alarm imob club lock and kill switch is pop the hood and unplug a few wires just remember what ones its rather embarasiing when you forget to plug them back in and the car dont start. but take my stereo cd and any thing else and ill fix the window but please leave the car

Quote: take my stereo cd and any thing else and ill fix the window but please leave the car YES!!!!!!!.... I totally agree!!!!!.... pleeeaassee leave the car!!

How does anti-tow work?

you steala my car! i breaka ya balls! You can't stop them, just don't park anywhere!

Just sikaflex and pop-rivet the plates in. You guys know what im talking about. Thats what i did.

so when the tilt sensor system comes on, does it take its tilt reading from where the car is (stopped) so that even if you are stopped on a hill it still works? as far as I knew mercury switches have off (level with horizontal) and on (anywhere else)...?

mercury is a liquid metal (like the terminator in t2) its in a glass enclosure when the switch is tilted the liquid moves across the two terminals. so when the car is on a hill the terminals will become a circut, so alarm wont work!
