I just saw this post. Nothing pisses me off more than when someone takes or destroys another person’s possession... I hope they nail whoever did this. Good luck

 

IIRC the immobilizer works independently to the alarm and door opening mechanism and basically disables the computer when it doesn't sense the key.

If you can record the "wavelenght" coded message and reproduce it than I'm positive it's easy to trick the car to think it's a chipped key in the ignition. Remote starters work that way when you place the wireloop close to the ignition as most require.

Man sorry to hear this... good info though...

 

Using a plain old club around your clutch or brake pedal may just slow the thief down enough for you to catch them. If it’s an amateur, they may just look for an easier target.

...sorry to hear about your loss though.

sawc a movie wher they mounted a shot gun under the seat (aimed up your a**) would that work? might stain the headliner... reall am sorry to here about your car will keep an eye open in nor cal

 

My car opens and starts with the plastic "backup" key. I doubt there is chip in that.

The more I think about this, the more I think Mr. White hit the nail on the head. They wanted a GT2 and got a wrapped TT. The car is probably dismantled or on a boat somewhere already.

Had an uninsured Rx7 Turbo II stolen in college. same story, broken glass. Alarm didn't activate because HKS turbo timer disabled it. They had stripped everything from the doors forward including (new) engine, Tranny and ridiculous sound system.

Anyone know where to get wheel locks for 15mm spacers ?

 

Sad we need to feel this way about "protecting" our cars. But you really get caught up in the senseless and helpless feeling about losing your pride and joy you earned thru hard work to someone out to make a quick buck and taking short cuts in life without a conscience. Never had my car stolen, I get livid enough just having someone ding my car.

My condolences to you...but as a few have stated, in the grand scheme of things and possibilities (losing your life or a loved one over the car), it is just an object that can be replaced. Your time and efforts unfortunately cannot be...That being said, I hope someone finds the guy and f*#!s up the bastard!!!

 

ebay. i thats where i found mine for spacers.

 

Do you know what option code your alarm was on the car? Looks like option M535 was a 315MHz anti-theft alarm. The concept of someone stealing the code by passively monitoring you is possible if that alarm did not vary it's code responses or used a predictable sequence of codes. I'd ask the dealer what encryption/modulation scheme the alarm was using.

Seems like the broken window is a sign they didn't have this level of scouting done, if it was possible. Are you sure the glass you saw was from your window and not just other glass or other automotive glass? I know that's a tough/odd question, but a smart thief would be smartest to have you thinking it was a crude job and not a sophisticated attack anyways, so worth a thought.

Most of these ignition lock systems are based on the KeeLoc cipher, which is not secure. Here's a link you may find of interest:

Thx for testing that with the valet key.

 

So is there nothing new on this? What is the insurance telling you?

 

All good questions, could be glass from this car, could be glass smacked from the inside out, could also be tapped then pulled outwards. Either way, they probably didn't have to do it. I have my codes, have to look in my papers. Pretty sure it's no 1 code only looking at some other documentation.

Went on this morning to post the following:

Pls keep looking, the police are getting closer and are greatly helped if we keep forcing the thieves to sit on the parts from the car (if we = the community block the thieves from trying to sell anything).

I can't say too much now re what has been found out so far on the police side , in case the crooks are closer than we think, but they are definitely not treating it as the average car stolen case - most likely since they see a good chance solving this one.

I'm surprised how much PD interest there is.

Thanks soo much for your continued support!! Keep looking for parts/car!

 

Progress: More than can be advertised however big chances it's an inside Porsche community job.

Insurance: Not relevant at the moment, they will never pay what I have into the car in upgrades and time and my season in RTA is getting closer and closer to screwed (and I just won last race). I don't want to think about insurance now and before they even consider saying it's "lost" and paying back it will take time. During that time, I want to find the car.

EDIT: Sorry, I really don't mean to sound negative Hopapalooza it's just that the focus is 100% on finding the car and I'm still in turmoil over the work and effort put in, and the effects on my life and racing in case it's not coming back.

 

what about other teams/people you race against? since the car is hardly a daily driver, could someone want you not to be racing? is there money in it?

 

Most of all money in the marketing. You are right in that if I kick their butts just jumping into the league it doesn't really reflect that they've been doing a great job, shops with a lot of ppl in the teams etc. It could put someone into a poor mood. All they'd have to do is hire ppl who can steal a Porsche.
