De-Handle The Warning!!!

[alainax]

If there is anyone whos is planning to getthere car De-Handled please read the following before you decide.
(i have a de-hanlded car so i am not scaremongering, i love it, but want to make sure everyone is well aware of the facts?

1. you must at all time have a spare fob.

2. never have the two fobs in the car at one time

3. if traveling it can be advised to keep the spare on you some where, ie not in a bag or jacket as these can be left in car but on your person.

4. if the fob is locked inside get the spare.

5. some people advise having a popper button somewhere on the vehicle for safety however this can leave the vehicle in danger of being easily broken into as thieves are aware of areas where buttons can be put no matter how ingenious you think your idea is.

6. never leave the car running or the keys in the ignition, as if the door gets closed by accident the spare fob will be unable to open it.

7. always go for the more expensive option of having both doors on poppers because if one fails you always have back up.

9. never leave both fobs with another driver if you are letting someone borrow your car or is in a garage etc as they will not be aware of the severity of closing the door.

8.be prepared that one day you may have to break your window

sorry of this has put anyone off just thought id pass on the message as i had to learn the above for my self.
make sure when its complete you are very aware of the fobs at all times and know where they both are.

well I remember postimg my solution to this
placing the manual release inside a lock box in say the engine bay. this can be locked via a key so is as secure as a normal locked door but easily accessed with a shock horror key

make it just accesable from underneath the car.you need to get down and dirty
seriously you want it so you can just get it with the key.

im just pointing out that if ya remeber the above, elaborate mechanism of gettin into the car are not needed ( and wont work in all cases)
dehandling can set a car off nicely.

Any hints on getting the car there the same colour as you set off? Its a kinda mucky grey at the moment but should be white again before I set off.

Nice advice

Have got mine in bits at the moment, but can't disconnect the battery. It's still got door handles, but no key holes anywhere. Bloody thing

1. you must at all time have a spare fob.

3. if traveling it can be advised to keep the spare on you some where, ie not in a bag or jacket as these can be left in car but on your person.

4. if the fob is locked inside get the spare.

Instead of carrying two Fobs, what I do instead is attach the PagerFob to my person I.E Belt Buckle. You should do this with any KeyFob with a car that has Auto Locking. Why?

Because you can never accidentally leave yourself in the car but you could leave your keys in the car.

I've never had the keys lock themselves in the car but have locked them in BUT because the keyfob was on my belt buckle it didn't make an onces of difference.

If ever the car does lock itself with the keys in it won't matter because you will have the KeyFob on you at ALL times.

This is safer then carrying two Fobs as you might lock your Hand Bag in the boot or lock your keys in and lose your other fob in a club/bar etc. then you are really screwed, I'd recommend leaving the other fob at home. if your car does lock itself its not like its getting stolen easily, just go home and get hte other fob.

6. never leave the car running or the keys in the ignition, as if the door gets closed by accident the spare fob will be unable to open it.

This is Alarm dependant as I lock my car with the keys in the ignition and engine running all the time so it can continue warming if I stop off and go to a shop etc.


Thanks for the Tips though, good advice overall.

I think you need to get an overall better alarm system in this case, if you already have a good one then you should attach the spare unused buttons to door popping or something as on my alarm I can have boot pop or autowindow closure or anything I decided to assign it to.

then you wouldn't have had that problem.

 

[alainax]

tis a top of the range toad cat 1, 4 buttons, pop pas, pop drive, alarm, de alarm, appently she popped becuase the passenger door would and we were tryin the drivers
as i sed make sure u know the set up of exactly how yours is running.

thats what i meant about keep a fob on ya, ie belt. ( or thong)


tis a gd point about leaving one at home ( i usually do) but as i sed when traveling ie when i went to buxton had to have both coz couldnt go home n get the other.

i got a question about popers, what happens if you dont close the door properly, you know like it closes on 2 clicks kinda thing... what do you do? does the popper open it again? or do you have to try closing it like that?
