There's been a rash of auto thefts here in Toronto in recent time. And while Porsche brand cars don't seem to be as targeted as the Lexus 350, the Honda CRV, the Ford F150s....I'm still concerned.
Has anybody tried any of the OBD solutions?
I found this one that seems to be good:

Faraday boxes for keys, immobilizers, the CLUB...wondering what other methods people have to ensure our cars don't get stolen?

Try this:

 

These cars use a rolling encryption between the key fob and the ECM that changes at every start. You are not going to be able to get the car running without one of the key fobs or Porsche being satisfied that you are the car’s owner if you need new fobs. So stealing it will require a flatbed or strong armed robbery where you give up the keys. These other gadgets may make you feel good, but they don’t really accomplish much more than that.

 

Right, so that doesn't preclude them from starting your car by hijacking the signal from the keyfob in your house and amplifying it to open and start the car (relay theft) , does it?

yes, it does. the signal hijack stuff works on some specific earlier fob systems. it doesn’t work on newer cars, or on your porsche.

 

FWIW - contrary to the internet rumors, these fobs do not randomly broadcast the encryption data so other devices can intercept it. The car knows where in its proximity the fob is and the fob knows this to. This precludes any easy spoofing when the key is not very near or in the car.

 

You could get a sprint booster. There’s an option to have a code attached to the program that completely disengages the electronic throttle. You also get the benefit of being able to custom tailor your throttle response, too.

 

I am a big fan of the Trunk Monkey:

Trunk Monkey Theft Retrieval System - Bing video

 

lmao haven't seen this in years. also, "bing video"? lol. i don't think i've ever used that - didn't know it existed. do you "bing" for search also?

 

I absolutely need... No must have this anti-theft device :-)

 

I used my work laptop which, unfortunately, does use Bing search.

 

I am less worried about someone cloning my key fob than I am with someone sticking an Apple Airtag and following me to my mistress' condo.

 

Pull a fuse, y'know, one that'll preclude the car from starting

 

No one is going to steal your 992.

If it were to be stolen, it will be via flatbed to a container that will be shipped out of the country. If they wanted it that badly, there was nothing that you could have done to prevent it.

Stop living in fear. Enjoy life. Drive your car.

 

This is pretty much where i land, and is also the reason i rarely care about locking doors on the house and whatnot. Your average residential door lock does nearly nothing to keep a motivated thief from getting in.
