It pains me to read this post.

I love my ZLE and I can tell you I drove an extra 45 minutes to get out of Daytona area this past week to an area in Florida where NO ONE DIALS 911!! As the Sheriff there also states to "Empty the Magazine Before We Arrive"!!

I too use a club, as an amateur deterrent but also have multiple system failures if a key is sensed by the system or someone tries to hack the system. Thanks Goodness for the Banks iDash Pro as I have to reset the failed voltage code and fuel error every time I start the car, but this is far less frustrating as it would be to load a tune.

I also have been testing a new stand-alone GPS tracking system that can be hidden anywhere in the car with its own data pinging system every 10-seconds. Everyone knows how many times I have taken my car apart... so this setup will take a lift, 30 minutes to access it and by then the cops will have arrived as it has already sent me calls, texts and emails every minute until I awaken or respond. I'm still not sure if I would call the cops until after I tracked the car to where it was to be later recovered by the Police.

Fun Fact... 99% of all the thieves are using tablets & Android phones to program the car, using a bridge that plugs into the diagnostic port. Guess what happens to that tablet or phone when it meets pure 18-volts without a charging block regulator to drop it to 5v-2amp draw!?? It gets SMOKED INSTANTLY!! Ya see... 12v is close enough the 5v phone or tablet can shut down it's power delivery but at a raw, unregulated 18V, its TOAST!

Guess they better find the switch from goes from the car battery to the Milwaukee M18 HD12.0 RedLithium before pluggin-in! LOL!!! Testing was fun to see an Android Phone blow the lid off a metal trash can from six feet away!! Who would have thought a powertool battery could save your car from a thief? Also makes a great starting backup if the car battery gets low.
