Two trypes of anti-hijack as far as I know. One is where the alarm auto locks the doors when the ignition is on.

Think the type Rick is on about tho is a system that cuts the ignition if you don't perform a particular function on the car at a particular time. Not sure on the ins and outs, but it brakes the car until it comes to a standstill then cuts the ignition..or something like that...lol

Info I just borrowed from a 'Split 88' system. Never heard of them, but here's their quote on anti hi-jack:

Split includes two different kinds of anti hi jack functions.

The first allows the vehicle to operate via two digit PIN code that the owner must program into the alarm every time he/she gets into the car or if a door is opened while the engine is still running. If the code is not entered the hijack feature will operate and the car will eventually come to a stop. This will also stop a thief from starting your car with stolen keys.

The second is completely automatic and does not need any action by the owner. Providing the owner has the PST transponder (a small black plastic unit similar in size to an After Eight Mint (optional)) on his or her person (this can be hidden in your pocket, handbag, wallet etc) the anti hijack will not operate. With the owner in the vehicle, there is a continuous invisible electronic connection between the PST transponder and the SPLIT 88 for the hijack status not to function. If the owner moves away from the vehicle while the engine is still running the anti hijack will operate and eventually stop the engine from functioning. This will also stop a thief from starting your car with stolen keys providing the owner has kept the PST transponder key separate, should the owner lose or forget the PST key just enter the unique two digit PIN code into the alarm.


So basically: if a thief opens your door and you get out, by not entering the 2 digit pin, the car will stop down the road.
Or if you have the transponder and get out, thief drives off, same result.

i have an autowatch antihijack fitted, i kicks in everytime the drivers door is opened, they cost about Ł120.00 fitted. unless they know were the switch is they will only get about 30 secs down the road, i dont think insurance companies recognise them yet but for that money its worth it

No probs..just thought I was going mad as I had missing posts until Stu pointed out the post was in a different forum! Lol.

Car jacking does appear to be getting worse..or is it just that it's getting reported more/ people like us are posting it on the net: just making the information more available than before.

Still bad tho and they deserve everything they get in return !!
