    In today's video I spend the money from the BMW M2 competition and Golf Gti and buy a stolen Audi RS4 Carbon Black, but how much will it cost to get running?

    The cut 'wire' is nothing, it's a bit of string used for QC at the factory when they check for water ingress. It's found all over the interior used behind trims. But you're right about the tracker, thats where they're installed, that's why the carpets cut. As for the gateway, that's got an embedded sim, which receives your data from the Audi back end server such as web services, remote unlocking from the myaud app, last location etc which is why the theives removed it, hence why your MMI isn't working and the dash is showing component protection.

    This is if not already fast becoming my favourite channel on RUclips. You need ya own show , you showing some major bollocks doing what you do . My only complaint is and I'm sure I speak for all ...Not enough videos . I find myself wanting to watch one after the other just to see how things turn out , literally can't wait. Congratulations on everything.

    they cut the carpet looking for a tracker as the starter cut is in that fuse box and feeds are quite often taken from that fuse box. the lose wire is a airel for the keyless entry and start.
    the module will also be for the telematics and removing it will stop the factory tracker working.
    Nice car for the channel

    • @FINDITFIXITRESTOREITBUILDIT
      @FINDITFIXITRESTOREITBUILDIT 7 месяцев назад +4

      with the signal booster being used all the car sees is the key so it has no idea the signal is being boosted.
      I don't think there's a way to detect the signal booster. keep your keys in a Faraday box and get a imobliser fitted to your car.

    • @OH2023-cj9if
      @OH2023-cj9if 5 месяцев назад

      They simply use a lock pick or make their own key. Once inside they take a module out and replace it so it matches their own key, or they simply code a new key to the car and drive off as they do with BMW and Land Rovers.
      It takes less than 45s to get in and drive away.
      All the fancy alarms do nothing. You need a basis immobiliser and hidden switch on the fuel pump. Also move the OBD2 or change the type of socket and make an adaptor to give to your garage.
      Simple cheap effective ways to protect your car.
      All those expensive immobilisers and alarms run from the existing circuits, so if they are tampered with, they are of no use.
      Don't be scammed by alarm companies.

    Great work dean. Big risk at that money. The Only problem i find with stolen recovered cars is they are never worth hpi clear money as it’s so easy to find it’s been stolen with sites like total car check for £4. Then it instantly puts people off wanting to buy for the same price as a non stolen one and it will always have that stigma. Get it raffled off.

    Great video Dean, interesting car and nice colour too. I know you've explained a bit but perhaps you could tell us what checks you do on stolen cars like this one, my dad always used to say cars in the 90s (from police experience)could be "sabotaged" with needles and other nasty stuff. Do you carefully check physically or do Copart do that and guarantee it? I'm also fascinated by the how and why the car was stolen. My thoughts would be they didn't realise the rarity of the colour? Could have been an error, and do you think you'll get to the bottom of what they were looking for and indeed have you located a tracker? Finally as an "armchair" mechanic, are you going to look at the "running history" of the car , especially when stolen and perhaps share what the thieves did , ie how fast ? How long? In a pursuit? Soz for being an anorak! I like the car, but the only RS for me in your premises is a Rallye Sport one!!! Best wishes, Ben 🇬🇧🇺🇦🚌🚐
