Security

[SDRA5]

Dear all,

 

I took possession of my new A5 yesterday and I love it. I had an A4 before this without any issues. I was just wondering if anyone uses any extra security e.g. starring locks. There is lots of hoohah in the press at the minute about cars being stolen. I know it is going back decades to put one of these on but obviously I don't want my new toy pinched.

Thanks 

Steve

Hi Steve, I use a faraday pouch to keep the keys in - so they cannot be hacked - as seen in the press. - like - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=me%3DA2D1OHRQ64PKHM&field-keywords=car+key+signal+blocker+pouch&gclid=CjwKCAjwmufZBRBJEiwAPJ3Lpqs9Xkq_SpXM_CBmSHzURHvWlPS-PffEktbgo_Wnoz2G8vThGIyb4hoCNuYQAvD_BwE

Also had a tracker fitted, had on my old BMW so as soon as I got my Audi the tracker was ordered and fitted, https://www.trackershop-uk.com/product-category/car-trackers/

Can I ask you how you use the Faraday pouch in your daily use?

[Lanky111]

Have one for my and the spare key and they sit in them when in doors - like putting them in a tin. This way the key cannot be cloned from outside the house, as been publicised in the press.
Also when I go out the pouch comes to and when leaving the car and locking it put key back in pouch so again no-one can open the car if you are in range (I know the range on the audi wireless is not too far, about 5-6 ft or so, but I am a bit paranoid after loosing cars in the past).

Brilliant, thank you
