You left out an absolutely free option. Go to your settings app in the radio and disable the remote vehicle access. Then if you have your keys in your pocket and they clone your key they won’t be able to get into your car with their fake key

Slow the thieves down long enough for you to come out with your. 45 and put the thief in his forever box.

With an intro like that…it’s impossible not to watch!! That was amazing

Thanks for the video. I'm also a big advocate of security-layering and use multiple anti-theft measures and devices, including most of the ones you feature in the video. I use a Ravelco switch in place of a kill-switch, but the principle is the same. I too secure the steering wheel with an old-timey Club but if I may offer a suggestion: Upgrade your club to a newer version. The old clubs with traditional sawtooth keys are easy to pick, but the newer ones use laser-cut keys that makes the lock mechanism a real Rubik's Cube. An Autolock brake pedal lock prevents the brake or clutch pedal from being depressed, making the car unstartable. Don't forget to protect your wheels with a set of locking lugnuts. I use a full set of 20, but even one locking lug per wheel may discourage an unprepared thief. Above all else use common sense and awareness. Don't park anywhere where you don't feel comfortable leaving your car unattended. Don't get tempted to park in the far corners of parking lots to avoid door dingers because thieves also love that isolation, away from prying eyes. And make sure your insurance is current!

Good Information. I did not read all the comments but one of the best deterrent for thieves is to buy a shock sensor that adds onto your factory alarm and if they break the window or bang on the car, the horn will start going off thieves typically do that to see if you have one and paired with the other items you listed you have a very well protected Mopar

They should make a law, if you’re a CCL carrier, that one line of defense of protection for mopars, is too blast that axx!

Thanks for making the video bro, you got yourself a new subscriber.

Glad to see a new video!

Hello! I just came across your channel and love it. I just moved down to the dfw area with my 19’ scat widebody. I had my challenger parked at the dfw airport parking garage and some amateurs attempted to steal it. They broke the lock on drivers side, opened the hood, took out the alarm/horn fuse, went underneath steering column, as well as passenger side underneath the glove box. I was very lucky as I had only 40miles in the tank, and had it in valet mode (upon further research has proven to also be effective in theft prevention in these vehicles). Maybe they got spooked or noticed the odds against them (gas/valet mode). But, happy to still have my baby, when you spend so many hours cleaning/taking care of your car, it breaks your heart to see it tampered with… it is violating. I am looking into theft prevention and other strategies, I appreciate your video and will look into those suggestions!

Awesome video, love the intro! Appreciate the shout out, we have several new products to protect even more Mopars. Thank you!

Reetsheared Pyeddy was a helluva driver.

For the neutral strap cover, use some anti theft bolts. A thief may have time to get that plate off and anti theft bolts will stop them.

Good video, lots of good information here. For the killswitch, it's a little pricey but I found a kit with two switches and uses a factory harness so it's really plug and play. Great for added security

Great video. Thank you

A tow truck is all that’s gonna get mine. For those with these cars don’t use regular insurance. You can use Chubb insurance, you name the value. Use a remote relay instead of a manual switch for the kill. It can be placed where it cannot be accessed without a lift or behind any panel.

They just tried to steal mine 2 days ago. Broke back window and tried to use the hub under glove box to clone. Glad they didnt succeed. Make sure your software is updated w the anti fob clone update.

I'm a new scat pack charger owner thanks for this video

If you live in the Chicago area get your CCL too for them carjakers.

I would like to add a fuel cut off as well as ignition cut off and you can hide it anywhere my old car I put one in the door lock figured the thief wouldn’t lock himself in and the other was a 9volt battery I am from NY and if you have something nice people think that it should belong to them also a brake pedal lock it’s a pain but I would use that for longer periods of time

On that TDS cover, secure it with security screws instead of the OEM screws.

Hey guys, I just got a 21 Scat, any forums or chats that can help with advice on owning, maintaining and tips? Thank you in advance.

Just watched your video, but too little too late. My 2017 Challenger V8 TA was stolen 3 nights ago. Out of my driveway. 30 feet from my front door. Directly under a streetlight. With a security camera filming the whole thing. My doors were locked. Fob has always been kept in a faraday box. 3 thieves opened the sunroof remotely. No alarm. No broken glass. Climbed in. Started it, and drove it off. Whole process took less than 45 seconds. Their faces were covered and they were very quick and small statured- in other words children under 18. 6,000 vehicles were stolen in my city of less than 2 million people in 2023. Metro car theft unit is totally overwhelmed. That means little or no help. Sorry for the long story, but anybody reading this LISTEN to this guy doing the video. Don't think it won't happen to you- like I did. Do everything he says and then some. Because if it happens to you the calvary likely ain't coming. They are overwhelmed. Even if your insurance pays you the bluebook, these cars are no longer being made, plus if you're like me you've already paid thousands of your hard earned money on it that you can not recover.

That orange pull neutral switch, redirect that directly to a horn and siren mounted around the vehicle, do not use the standard wiring/relay. Once activated it wont stop, you could even mount a smaller secondary battery (motorcycle sized) in series with your main battery, so if they do disconnect your main battery the siren keeps going.

There is also a pin code system probably the best thing to have. Also I wanted to know if you ever had an interior sound coming from the center console, not sure if it’s the wheel bearing, broken axel, something caught underneath

hello I just got my second challenger 2020 scatpack wide body 50th anniversary. I have z automotive taser has a 4 PIN code. that seems to work. Also a club for steering wheel. My 2017 was stolen about a month ago.

Got the manual plus a huge bar with a huge lock on pedal

I don't even have a v8, my Challenger is a V6 and it is much older, a 2014 (anniversary edition) and I have had it for not even a week.... it has already been messed with. Do people really go after a v6? I do not have a garage to park it in unfortunately but I do have a lockbar on the steering wheel, will get the Faraday bag etc. I'm just in shock that my car has already been messed with😭💔

Subbed great video

Question: Do thefts care about V6 versions of the challenger? I.e GT or SXT

Another thing is to add an onboard diagnostic port lock so they cannot just plug into your OBD and start the car.

Don’t know if it’s me or not but I’ve noticed some just leave scratch marks with a key in a parking lot somewhere

Now you will have to take it out of the bag to get back in once you’re coming back from your parking spot but presumably by that time the concern for theft is over because you are about to get in it and drive away

Where did you get the scat pack shirt?

😂😂😂😂😂 I’m fckin sleep at the intro lol

Would the neutral cover void anything?

Wish i had a garage

I have an shaker. I wrap my key fob in aluminum foil. Whenever I go to a restaurant or grocery store. I have the cover for the neutral. And a kill switch. And a new style club. I just might start taking two of the tires off. Just to keep it. Makes no sense!

They don't need the fob to reprogram your signal. Our keys were in a faraday box and they still reprogrammed the fob and broke into my Charger.

heyyy. what’s the name of the bag you got from amazon?

👍

Is it easy to install the kill switch?

How much do you pay for inshurance

It’s to the point now I don’t even want my mopar anymore it’s an absolute hassle having to babysit my car everywhere I go!!!!

Still miss the Viper.

Why not just remove the cable itself from the neutral pull lever and hide it in the console? thats what I did . Pull the lever all you want , its not connected to anything and you'll never find it in the dark. From my perspective, the best kill switch would be one attaches to something thats required to start the car and there is no work around.

I am confused. I understand how the faraday bag blocks the signal from your fob to prevent it from being replicated. But, doesn't that also prevent you, the owner, from using the key fob to lock your car after you park? While you are parking, getting out of your car and locking the door you need the key signal to work. So, there is no protection at that moment and the signal can be stolen, correct? In which case ,the bag does absolutely no good. If this is not correct, someone please explain to me how this is supposed to work. I feel like I am missing something.

One 10 dollar trick to stop any their from stealing your car without using a tow truck…… fuel cut off switch …. Can’t steal a car you can’t start….

Mines just got stolen yesterday 😢

All they have to do to disable GPS is rip the rear view out.

Or make the clock tick a little longer so the owner can interdict.

Yeah but how you gonna lock still need to get the key out

Doing your video with the garage door wide open and giving were you sorta live.....lol

You didn’t mention a car alarm. Sirens inside snd outside the car. You could even install a fake kill switch that activates and locks on the car alarm. Another anti theft device is an IGLA PIN code device. It’s about $1,200, which is expensive, but it requires pressing a combination of buttons in the correct order to start the car. The IGLA PIN code device also blocks key fob programmers.

😭😭😭😭😭

You didn’t want to get a hellcat? I just traded in my 2015 SRT 392 B5 Blue challenger for a 2018 Black hellcat challenger… and I love it, but I do miss the 392. You seem like you got the funds, what made you choose a scatpack over the HC?

As much as I enjoy mopar…dodge should be slapped for how easy those cars are to steal.

Are regular R/T's targeted significantly less than scats & hellcats? Or targeted at all? Do you ever hear of stories of all this theft problems where R/Ts (in particular w/ a manual transmission!) are concerned? If you think about the price of the engines in scats and hellcats vs the price of your run of the mill 5.7L, it's many thousands of dollars difference. I would imagine thiefs that are in this for top dollar vs risk, won't even look at an R/T.

Jesus christ skip to 4:00 to hear the info

Faraday bag isn’t even good because once you go to unlock your car the signal can be stolen right then and there.

Buy a car boot!!!

#7 stop making videos, car thieves watch them. 😂 good video tho

Is it just me, or did Dodge design these cars to be stolen? And why not a key instead of this stupid push-button start crap. I rented one several years ago, and the damm car does not even alert you that the engine is running when you get out. Love the car, but hate the total lack of security. Even my 1976 Ford truck is more secure than these things.

Pro Advice: If someone wants your car bad enough, they WILL get it. Simple as 123... -Push the car -Tow the car -Key hack List goes on but I don't condone thievery.

It's okay we know the car won't be too far away since it'll be broken down on the side of the road

Video starts at 4:00. You’re welcome.

I have a red eye charger, I parked in the lot at Walmart, I needed to go buy some water so I did, came back to 1 guy trying to break in, I walked slowly behind him and told him in his ear that I'll send him to hell, bro tried to fight me just to get slammed on the ground, he started crying and begging, he also pissed himself 🤣, some people saw and came to his rescue but I told them he tried to steal my hellcat, they helped me out till cops came, they took him in and a stream of luck a Tesla parked next to me, and caught him on video trying to break in, he got arrested mugshots and everything, I found his mom's Facebook, and told her, she asked to meet me at the police station, and we confronted her son keshawn, and when I mean she yelled at him she yelled and I thought Hispanic mom's was bad, anyways it was hilarious I embarrassed him so bad, I made this story up tho

I don’t understand why people steal Dodge’s! They are a Dodge who the hell wants them! I wouldn’t take a Dodge for free!
