OMG wow... didnt know it was that bad... And another thing, why do you think 75% of 18-30 year olds voted for kerry... Its because they are in or just out of school, so they were just educated in how our country shouldnt be ran...

I don't use anything. The more you care about that car it seems that the chances of it being stolen is higher.

Is this block in SI? If so, where? I'm interested to know, b/c my friend just move into SI. That why I won't park around the area.

LoJack my brother-in-law's car was stolen. He has a LoJack and the car was recover a couple of days later. It was park 10 blocks away from where he lives. Passenger window as broken and all his old CD's and remix was stolen. Everything stay intack.

I don't have any problem with my max where I live. I usually park where the the maxima gather. Usually see 3 max (4th and 5th gen) park on my block. I would guess there are around 10 max within 3 square block.

they should make an alarm that when you lock it, it has some sort of sensor that cuts the power to your fuel pump, so that until you unlock the car with your remote it wont start at all. that would still let your remote start work too, no need to take the fuse out.

Thats something that you will learn to deal with. Ive had 2 98's and the first one got stolen, the second got broken into a little over a week ago and then 2 guys tried to steal it in my drive way 4 days after that. If i didnt love the car i would sell it and never get another maxima again.

Cant you connect little stereo system in your car which would use your speakers to play very loud metal music so everyone in the 'hood' would wake up when some1 trying to brake in? Also, get a snake pet in your car, i heard about someone having it o.O

Clifford Wireless Immobilizer

Clifford makes a wireless immobilizer, similar to what you want to do.

"Another of the exciting security offerings from Clifford is their Wireless Immobilizer which differs from any other immobilizer on the market. Installed on either the ignition or fuel pump circuits, the Wireless Immobilizer interrupts the active engine circuit but does not have any tell-tale connection wires leading to or from it to give away its existence. The connection between the interrupt and the Clifford control module is done via multiplexed communications. The protected car will start, but will quickly be shut down if the interrupt module does not receive the proper multiplexed message. In addition, and unlike the majority of alarms that only interrupt the starter, Clifford offers dual-point immobilization for a more secure theft prevention device on all but their lowest priced model."

I have a '99 and someone tried stealing it. I didn't have a security system at the time just the immobilizer "chip-in-key" system. The thiefs tried for several minutes to break the ignition, and they did, but that car wan't going anywhere without my key(those idiots broke my passenger window). My neightbor finally heard something and chsed them away. Bottom line, my car wasn't immune to being broken into, but the car itself was like fort knox.

According to that site, Maxima is not even in the top ten list in California.

However, Toyota is the hot one out there, it was mentioned 4 times in the list.

Of course the Maxima is high on the list, it's one of the most popular cars made. Same for Accord, Civic, and Camry. There are more of them than other cars and this makes them ideal for thieves to learn the tricks to stealing them, because there will always be some. And because they are imports, they have a higher resale than cheap domestics.

The Maxima's security is easily defeated, but it's no worse than a comparable car. Pretty much all stock security systems suck.

Kinda makes you wonder what is the point of making a website of your car and putting up all of the detailed modification pictures and description. Its like an open invite to steal your vehicle or challenge its security system. That's just my .02 cent.

I'd say add a starter/ignition kill, an airhorn, and a switch for the driver and front passenger seats. If the starter kill is defeated, then the thief who sits on either of the seats will set off the air horns. I bet you that will get anyone's attention and guaranteed to wake you up at night. Then its up to you to come greet your burgler with your firearm, baseball bat, or a rottweiller.

The one for the 2000 election was more likely a hoax...this site is more plausible.

I'd ask you to prove your assertion that Bush didn't steal anything, but I don't want to get into a stupid OT debate so forget it. Suffice it to say you have no "proof" unless you've done some serious research beyond what the media's covering (not bloody much).

my remote start intercepts my ignition wires, if you disconnect my alarm, you can say bye bye to starting the car, my alarm brain is also tucked behind the gauges, takes even me about 5-10 minutes to even get to it, i also got 3 sirens, double on the outside and one on the inside. have fun trying to steal my stereo with a siren going off inside the car and out.

You shouldn't have revealed the location of the alarm's brain!!! As for siren inside the car...use ear plugs. As for not getting the neighbors and owner's attention....it'll be impossible! Seems like you got things covered. Hopefully you don't park you car too far away, like a stadium or something, where the sirens will just be ignored by passerbys.

California Still Tops in Auto Theft
Date Posted 11-18-2004
Thanks to six cities across the state with high theft rates, California can keep claiming it's the car theft capital of the U.S. (Wait, it's not on the license plates?) According to statistics from the FBI, and interpreted by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the Modesto metro area had the highest car theft rate of any American metro area in the 2003 calendar year.
The central California city was followed in the top 10, in order:
Phoenix, Ariz.
Stockton, Calif.
Las Vegas, Nev.
California's Sacramento, Fresno and Oakland
Miami, Fla.
San Diego
Detroit

The theft rates are measured per 100,000 residents in the city or metro area. In 2003, the NICB estimates that 1,260,471 vehicles were reported stolen, up slightly from 2002.

So where's NYC?

FYI: I voted for Kerry, in OHIO, but

Very true........sad to say, we take the crown for that. Still, Maxima is not in the top 10! I'll never buy a Toyota living around here in California. My next SUV is the 05 Pathfinder. Hopefully that won't place in the top ten.

There are plenty of risk-increasing factors, including living in a port/border city (or a city near one or the other). The 99 Maxima is pretty hard for the run-of-the mill thief (found in most urban areas) to steal; however, any flatbed or tow truck can take your Max away wailing and screaming (or not). Let me correct myself: without a Consult, the car is impossible to drive away. There's one large problem, though: most car thieves don't know the difference between a 99 Max and, say, a 98 or 97. Would you be able to tell?
The end result is, any max can definitely get broken into by someone who hopes to hot-wire it; some just won't be going anywheres. Of course, they can still cause several thousands of dollars in damage.

People who jack your car with a flatbed/tow truck have CASED it, probably thoroughly. In many cases, people who car-jack your 4th gen MAXIMA at knife or gun-point have CASED it. The more low-key and stock-looking your whip is the better. That said, I have a Viper 790xv in my car, and intend to add Viper GPS when I get the money.

i did my alarm myself, i work at circuit city in the roadshop, and i also got 2 way remote paging, but in the event you do try to steal my car even with getting to the brain, youll be driving the car with the siren on, and dont even bother cutting wires to shut them up, because there just that good.
