UK theft attempt

[EOD Guy]

Mine was targeted today — they cut through and rolled it out onto the street, but couldn’t get it started thanks to a third-party security device. Just wondering how best to get it sorted — anyone recommended in the Surrey area?.

Man that sucks! Glad they didn't succeed.

If they want it bad enough they are going to take it. Doesnt matter what you do. Here they would grab it with a roll back and be gone.

Nice bit of positive thinking - thanks

It’s been to the dealer, and the estimate for the tailgate and electrics comes to £2,470.43 plus VAT. Just waiting on the quote for the bumper now, as they clipped another car on the street while rolling it off my drive, causing damage. Toyota also offered to fit a CAN bus system for £329.

What Canbus system?

 

[btbuk]

CAN bus blocker – functions like a third-party immobiliser, preventing the engine from starting by blocking key signals on the CAN network.
A CAN blocker will intercept or disable specific signals (like those from door modules or key fob emulators), making it harder for thieves to simulate valid commands, like unlocking the doors or starting the engine.

What brand of third party security device do you use

Do you have a part number for the CAN BUS blocker? Thanks

Try Ampire WPS400 pro or similar

It’s what saved mine

Your quote for the repair a lot less than mine - mine was over £5k and it’s just a tailgate replacement paint and fitting with glass swap etc

"This isn't for looks, it's become a security feature for the vulnerable module in the tailgate!" ... You think Toyota will install, at no extra cost with my excuse?

 

[flyingtrotter]

Got it back - 15 days at dealer - no work done in that time as the tail gate was on back order - why they told me all parts in stock and able to carry out the repair 2 weeks ago when in fact it’s still 2 weeks from delivery is beyond me

Rather destroys the image of Toyota mail dealers being more competent than the industry average

Shambles

 

[btbuk]

That is bad. Mine is going in on Monday for the same. Will see how it goes.

 

[flyingtrotter]

Hope it goes well - panel gaps and quality of Paint is my main concern
