SDRA5 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky111 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 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/ Cheers M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanky111 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 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).
