Car thefts on the increase, since keyless entry?

Anyone use transport mode? I use it when going on holiday.

Sorry, I have never hear of this, what is it?

Basically it puts the car into hibernation and nothing will work. It is meant to stop the battery running down while parked up for a long time or being say transported to like America where it will spend weeks on a boat.

Transport mode is a new one on me how and where are the settings for it as I would assume a few peeps on here would be interested

I Googled Transport Mode.I think you need access to someone with VCDS (Vag-Com) to switch it on and off.
Sounds like a  pretty handy thing to have.

Yes it needs VCDS or OBDeleven, I've been using it for over 10 years.

I have the Autowatch Ghost fitted to mine and its worked flawlessly. Irrespective of whether thieves bypass the OBD or have the keys, without the code which is inputted by a series of self selected/programmed button presses, the car won't start.

Mind you, still didn't stop someone from having a crack at breaking into my house for the keys recently.

Also use a disklok following that when parked overnight or for any length of time.

Has anyone had a tracker fitted? I noticed the VW configurator allows you to include the Vodafone Protect and Connect 6. The website mentions 25% discount on insurance with this fitted, so slightly tempted as I work away some weeks. So any recommendations would be much appreciated.

The 25% discount looks as if it only applies to motor home and caravans fitted with Vodafone Protect and Connect 5 or 6 that are insured with Caravan Guard Insurance.

Oops, I must have saw the 25% and did not read the rest correctly. Still tempted as it will help give me some piece of mind when I am away with work. Need to research the options more though.

I have had a quick look at the website and a local company install the products so interested. How has it been installed in your car, the site mentions it integrates with existing components within the car cabin.
