Sorry, didn't see a notification. Also happy to have a look. Both VCDS and ODBEleven.

190 TDI. Knowing sods law, as soon as I start driving the superb, I will get a call from the police to tell me they found my car.

So I will be moving over to the Superb forum. Picking up a 67 plate L&K Hatch on Saturday. No news on my Octavia.

It was just a Three fixed data sim from Amazon that I bought years ago and I just threw the piece of paper away, or at least I can't find it. Nothing on the Amazon invoice gives any details of the card.

Still nothing. Going to be really lucky to hear anything now I think.

It would ultimately depend on her condition, but the answer would most likely be yes. She has been made mine over the years.

Fortunately because I drive a lot for my job, I have a man shed (an old BMW) that takes the brunt of the miles (it will cross 225,000 miles today). It also means I don't have to rush and get a car right now, I can take a little time to find the car I want. The claim has been approved, we just have a difference of opinion on the value.

There are third party alarm systems where you need to enter a code otherwise the car will be turned off. Look at the Clifford BlackJax system. But then you have the hassle of entering the code everytime to drive the car.

Unfortunately, No news at the moment. Take it this depends on where it is a device that constantly reports it location, to one that only reports its location when asked.

Annoyingly, I upgraded to a MIB 2.5 unit, but you can't subscribe to the online services, because as far as Skoda are concerned the car cannot be connected. Also the data sim I bought, I just put into the car and didn't take the number. Also the VCDS map I have of the unit, doesn't include its EMEI number.

Talking to the officer who took my statement, he has an idea of the gang who may have taken it, and they are well aware where the anpr cameras are. He reckons that they may have left it somewhere to see if a tracker is installed. Then it will most likely get a set of false plates on it, and used for other criminal purposes.

A semi recent picture.

Car was taken from Crookes. Driven round the area for a bit, before last been seen by ANPR on Brook Street, near the university roundabout.

Yep. The keys were stolen from the house. My expectation is that I won't see her again, or if I do it will be wrapped round something as it was involved in a car chance. And there is a pic as the header of my profile. I will find a pic to post on the thread itself when I get back from work.

Yesterday morning my race blue vrs was stolen. It was taken around 2.30 in the morning and was last spotted on Brook Street, Sheffield, around 4.30 in the morning. It is possible that the car now has new plates, or could be just parked up somewhere, now the thieves have their fun. I know it is a small chance of anybody spotting her, but would much rather have her back, than think about a new car.
