Right, if you read this comment buy a Disklok. Google them, you will never have a car go missing unless they can literally lift it. It stops these opportunistic types in their tracks, they don’t even bother breaking in to try. It’s prevented three of my cars from going missing now and unless they have the ability to literally tow it out of your driveway with something that can lift the wheels they aren’t going anywhere but put your car on full lock and use the Disklok. Honestly, if you value your car, get one! It’s literally impossible for them to drive it away.

When you say the key start VF’s are not being stolen as much, how are they getting stolen? My dad’s car is a VF SV6 key start and your comments are now worrying me.

Just make me el Presidente. I'll fix this within a week.

MASSIVE MONEY GRAB THATS ALL!!!!

Bollards inside the garage bro. I swear by them. The core hole ones that get grouted in, not the ones that get bolted to the slab . For a couple hundred bucks it’s a no brainer

Another tip, get rid of the Labor government who apart from ruining our country also let car thieves out on bail to steal more cars.

Take the fuel pump fuse or relay out

Your a good man mate, sick of these scum

Thank you for the heads up. We need to protect our assets, by any means necessary.

Great advice Matt👌

VF models at the moment , it will be VE and other models once these scum bags thin out the VF range.

Is it just vf hsv or sv6 too

Electrified doors . 30 Amps is enough to drop an elephant

Be brave. Stand firm. Don't let evil prevail. Scrub the crims !! Thank you for this video. Passing it along with the rest. God bless you brother !!

Garage, Igla and OBDSync BCM/ECM locking....cannot create keys!

There are other old school anti theft methods that can be adapted to this situation-kill switch, it can’t be added to the coil anymore but can be added to other circuits like the fuel pump or low current wire to the starter relay. 4:02 Also do a horn wiring bypass and route the wires further away from the wheel arch so that the crooks can’t stop the alarm. Install a second horn on the passenger side of the car, so that even if they cut the wires and the bypass wires the outer one will still go.

Question is how the hell did they learn this and why did holden make it this ezy to nick em

Everyone watching make sure you let anyone you know with a Commodore (Friends, family, work colleges etc) to take extra security measures, including getting them to watch this video.

Not just holdens every push button start car. Golfs mainly the R are also targeted too

Its only an online assessment. some how another form of tax comes to mind

Time to reroute the horn wiring/add extra ones. Steering wheel locks would help too.

I still use a Club Lock to this day 👌🏼

great vid Matt

Paul Maric's channel Car Expert has an excellent vid on this matter. Ross Reviews also has one showing a VF being stolen from a Browns Plains (QLD) carpark in broad daylight, just hooked by a flatbed with no plates on it. These scum are everywhere.

Nothing will stop PRO thief,i had a VK stolen in the late 90s ,it had 2 very hidden kill switches and the old club lock,(one switch was under my foot /underneath the carpet) and they still stole it,but it was found 12mths later too late as i had already been paid my insurance.

Go the extra step and spend 1 weekend doing something to make it much harder for someone to thieve your car. Ie; relocate the cable for your bonnet release to a concealed location of your choice and effect a physical alteration to the bits n pieces that make it start/run. Can be as simple as installing a switch to open/close the circuitry to the starter motor, or simply removing the relay for it. (I would leave it in place as a visual misguide but duplicate some of the wiring ((so original one still receives signal from switchgear and still clicks)) and divert it to another location out of sight thats easy to access and mount another relay there. Or you could go to the hassle of either relocating the OBSD socket and/or making it inaccessible without first getting past a device that is in the way. There's a lot og options oht there so think outside the box for what works for your situation. RFID or NFC technology is widely accessible to the general public now and the componentry is dirt cheap to buy. A better but significantly more expensive option is to install hard barricading like bollards that physically prohibit the vehicle from moving beyond that point. Another consideration that not enough people give due thought too is the inherent security weakness that the garage door poses. Both structurally and electronically. Most older types can be forced off thier tracks without too much trouble and the RF technology widely and openly available to the general public makes the RF signal between the remote and the receiver attached to the motor, about as vulnerable to intercept and hijacking as it could possibly be. And the older doors with the keyd lock in them are are waste of time in safeguarding the garage contents to all but the most juvenile and opportunistic thieves, some extra locking devices holding the door to the ground and/or additional brackets to retain the door rollers in, or near, the runners arw paramount if you still have the older, non-panel type door. And a problem with the newer panel foors is they often have decent spaces between the door components and the house structure, making it relatively easy to find out what is behind the door.... Don't just rely on the common and popular OTS measures that everyone else employs. Use them, but take the extra step and do something unique that make nicking your vehicle as difficult and/or improbable as it could practically be.

Well done mate, spread the word, Bit too late for my Redline but you might prevent the next bloke.

Speaking of thieving... Nice job at stealing some of Paul Marics VF Warning theft video ( Some parts almost word 4 word ) 😂

No, I DON'T agree, nor I am in the middle, this is clearly another government encroachment on peoples lives, and rights, just look what they have just tried to do federally, introduce mis/dis information, and block you from looking at content on the internet, COME ON AUSTRALIA, wake the fuck up, 1984 George Orwell, totalitarian state control, and people need to tell them to jack this crap up their arse, because the more the public let governments get away with this shit, the worse its going to get, and if you haven't read that book I mentioned above, do yourself a favor and go get a copy, YOU'LL see whats going on, slowly but surly, bit by bit, inch by inch, so NO IT'S COMPLETE BS, what's next a licence for a fucking push bike, wake up people, the she'll be right Aussie mentality ISN'T going to cut it anymore !!!

Sounds more like insurance jobs not legit thefts 😂 no one wanting to pay for v8 fuel costs anymore

Simple fix, old school fuel pump cutout !!

i'm so glad i have a 2022 skoda fabia monte carlo

Careful, the government might take you to court for making it harder for their precious babies to steal. Thank fuck for Trump, change starts at the top, and the ‘top’ sureAF ain’t our government. We’re a global joke on everything.

Apple Air Tags and their Samsung equivalent might not be a good idea. From what I have read... these tags work by peer to peer sharing.... the tag relays to the nearest compatible phone/s and they relay the location to your phone etc. What I recall about this idea is if the thief uses those apps... they will see the air tags. I was looking at the wiring diagrams in a Haynes Manual for a VF V8 (Chapter 12-100 Diagram 10). Perhaps a switch at the start of the injector circuit.... and another one or two switches on the fuel pump circuit might make a car difficult to steal without a tilt tray or tow truck. That said, a keypad immobiliser looks the best solution. I have never been a big fan of the push start button..... perhaps it might be possible to shift the wiring to a more suitable location and use a keyed ignition.

Absolute scums of the earth doing this. Fit 2 kill switches in different locations as well as a GPS tracker and a steering wheel lock (and of course connect the alarm to another louder horn they can't reach.

When you said “do it for me, because I want to see you drive your vf commodores” I winked at my phone, I’m 19 and I occasionally drive my mums daily drive black vf ss station wagon LS2 with factory fitted extractors, we are the second owners and have had it from low km, it’s too cool for school and I feel privileged when I get to slowly drive it, these Aussie car are and icon and I thank you for showing me how to try and prevent the theft of my beloved commodore

You can call them pieces of shit....It's OK...

Forget buying a obd port lock. Remove data wires from the obd port

Laugh out loud - apparently it’s just as easily done with Nissan 4x4’s too “apparently”! Straight outta the driveway, and straight outta the state too, “apparently”!

They,ve literally been doing this for over 20 years. This is nothing new.

Throttle controllers are the cheapest and most effective option as they disable the throttle. However, like this video says put in an alarm relay so that even if they cut the wire it doesn't disable the alarm. Thieving Baster**

Any electrician can wire in a discreet full kill switch for $200ish, anything else like alarm systems are a waste of time, Also, get a bollard if you can.. I have been through this before.

This is similar to scum knocking off Dodge Hellcats in the states.

If they can’t take it they will trash it you are fighting a endless battle

I bet the police are all over this.. 😒

To all the thieves out there You are taking your life in your own hands every time you do this I catch you, you disappear

Thanks for the video these devices should not be on eBay i only drive my vf on weekends and don't park at shopping centres. Etc totally scrum bags for sure

spamming of parts probably serves as a method for finding victims :/

Also don’t use your garage as a storage shed or a home gym, use it to garage your car overnight. Insure your car for agreed value. I don’t have a Holden these days but I do have a pricey new car. I have 4 seperate custom made security precautions in place. They would have to winch it up onto a flatbed to steal it. If they want it that bad they can have it, I will get my agreed value payout and buy a new one 🚙

dang.... back in the day it was a pain to plug into anything... always under a thousand layers of carpet and had to pull the seat out
