Having this stolen can come be very inconvenient as well as a large expense in repairs and a replacement system. Implementing some small crime prevention measures can help reduce the chances of you becoming a victim yourself.

Park your car is a secure garage where possible. Parking your car in a place that is viewable from your property with good lighting is advised. CCTV coverage is also advised as this can deter as well as help catch offenders and recover stolen goods. press the lock button on your car keys 2 times. once locks, twice sets the alarm depending on model.

Lock your glove box, as this is the easiest way to access the unit. pull your passenger chair as far forward as it can go and lean the seat forward when leaving your car to reduce access. This may be inconvenient at the time, but can save you a lot of money as these systems are not cheap to replace.

90% of these crime are committed on Volkswagen vehicles, primarily Golf, Tiguan and T-Roc. If you own one of these vehicles, please try put some extra measures in place to try prevent yourself becoming a victim to this crime.
