    Pause to consider the situation. You have someone inside your car and that someone is clearly not afraid of committing a crime. Is it wise to fry their electronics? Unless you combine that with a loud audible alarm, you likely going to end up with a trashed interior in retaliation.

    Additionally, if you ever take the car for warranty work, budget for buying dealer a replacement tool, as you could forget to disarm it and will be at fault for damage.

    My buddy leaves one of these on the seat of his truck in bad neighborhoods everyday. He had one truck stolen, started using this and ironically nobody wants to seem to mess with it. I guess it’s easier to find another vehicle.


    As the old slogan goes “take a bite out of crime” still applies

    Interior would be trashed but would still have a 4runner vs having none. An alarm is a good idea! Yeah would haveto remember to keep legitimate ppl safe, including me lol.

    It's a jurisdictional issue between port police and regular police. Seems that they are now collaberating to steem the flood.

    Not sure on that. Mine arrived from Lithuania on time and as described even though I was a bit leary due to country of origin. Ordered off ebay and all good. Just can't speak for USA ordering but the site is legit. I'm Canadian and it was a good transaction and it worked as described. My dummy OBD plug is dead bus wise but my relocated OBD port works just fine for all computer access.

    That is messed up. Very unfortunate they let jurisdiction issues prevent taking action this long.
