It's called Ravelco. It took about 4 hours for them to install it. Pretty much impossible to steal w/o a flatbed.

Sorry if im like asking off subject questions.... it really sucks to get your stuff stolen and i hope everything finds a way of working out for you guys.

I caught someone breaking into my truck last fall, by the time i could get my massive heavy duty flash light out to crake them over the head with it they were gone... the next guy that tries to steal from me wont be soo lucky.....

I jusy bought this car and thought that its would be hard to steal because its a high performance luxury sedan, figured audi would put some though into that!

LoJack is a passive device, in that there's no indication on the car that it has the unit installed and it doesn't make it any harder for the car to be stolen. Once it is stolen, though, it helps the cops locate it. I've heard some insurers give a discount for having it.

Thanks, I rememeber there being tests and I don't think any cars were stolen that had it. Best system I've seen besides the ones that kill people in other countries.

That's what the **** i'm talkin about! They should at least cut the hands off of the thief that gets caught; that would make someone think twice about stealing.
