big yellow disc lock, can't miss it from the outside, make sure I use it all the time. good visual deterrent and I hear they are a bugger to get through as well.

Someone on here said that red was an unlucky colour in the criminal world. No idea myself but lets hope so hey!

Problem with trackers is they are not advertised so don't act as a deterrant

And Tracker won't tell you how many cars fitted with one DON'T get recovered only how many do - so you can't work out IF they actually improve the chance of recovery.

Waste of time and money IMHO.

I've just fitted night vision CCTV at home and an IR floodlight, that looks directly at the drive and entrance to the cul-de-sac. You can set it up to text you or email you a snap-shot on motion detection and can access it and control pan and tilt etc from any computer or iPhone etc. Bloody good for £70!!!

Good price, where did you get it from?

Live tracking with remote immobilisation. Immobilise it if i know im not going to be around to drive it.

If it uses gps and gsm then dont rely on it. It's trivial to jam (20 quid from eBay) and you need to confirm how it reacts under those circumstances.

What about a Clifford Black Jax, a friend has one on his Evo and is sounds pretty effective: http://www.clifford.co.uk/Products/Accessories.aspx

Same as above really. If I were a professional car theif I'd assume some form of tracking/immobiliser was in place. 20 quid gets you a hammer that fecks up both gps and gsm with a 5-10m area. Nick car then have a look about at leisure (most systems have at most 24hr internal battery and ironically the jamming makes them work harder and reduce charge faster). Tracker is a competitor to me on tracking but they are the only ones that have an active method of punching through jamming using many (and I mean many) different VHF frequencies making jamming alot harder.

End of the day though none of them actually stop the car being nicked.
The blackjack lojack is good - has an RFID card you keep with you and allows the car to start and drive a short while before cutting out when the car next stops
