I doubt it.

You can register it, post code it, etc.etc. But if they want it, nothing will stop them breaking in and stealing it.

Until the LAW is changed, and the thieves are made to pay for replacements and damage caused, ( if and when caught ), take it out of the car.

Even if they do come up with some idea to lock/block it, there's always someone who can "hack/crack it"

Even 'Microsoft' can't stop pirates. Look at their games consuls, they said it couldn't be done, but some clever techno nerd found a way.

I agree, there is always a way round things but does that mean we just give up 8O , most cars have car alarms, does that stop car theives? No, but it reduces the chance of your car being stolen. If TomTom were to provide some sort of security, it might just help reduce the amount of TomTom's stolen.

Look at mobile phones, they get stolen, then the company blocks the phone. Technonerd changes security code, phone works again.

Same with these 'security coded car radio's', they where suppose to be theft proof, but they still get stolen.

Best security is don't leave in car. " Unless it's bolted, screwed,clamped, to cars framework"
