Today, the vehicle's computer system, Controller Area Network (CAN), sets the computer's state in a Wake On LAN (WOL) mode. Waiting for a key fob wake signal, or a thieve's CAN bus wake signal.
Like "
LethalGarage", the simplest solution may be the wireless battery disconnect switch, along with windshield and side window stickers, "OBD DISABLED", and additional stickers stating motion sensor alarm on the dash, and a motion sensor notification system.
I'm beginning to evaluate the battery disconnect solution along with all of the computer resets. I dislike having to reprogram the windows after a battery disconnect, but this solution will provide peace of mind especially when travelling. Losing Radio / BCM presets are no concern if the car is secure.
I normally leave my car doors open, I've had people rummage through the vehicle for money, but leave the vehicle undamaged.
