Can this really be done


Divine

Recommended Posts

Ok I had this idea at work today, there was someone here who managed to recover there car with gps technology and a immobilizer set to activate the horn continuously. If such can be done, would it be possible to remote activate some air jacks?

I was thinking if you noticed your vehicle was moving on your pc or txt alert or whatever; and you activated your remote immobilizer, if it deployed your air jacks (with some form of base to slide to a quick stop and not just lock into the ground) and locked in, preventing the car from moving and possibly stranding it in the middle of the road, and maybe set the horn off for good measure.

Thoughts?

I'm no engineer but I would think activating Air jacks while moving would damage airjacks and mounts? Possibly doing massive damage to the structure of the car depending how Jacks are mounted?

Or did you mean doing it when the car is stationary?

That would be a great idea, just set it up to deploy when car comes to a stop ;) I guess anything is possible ;D

I was just about to post this! If it's been stolen, just message the car to shut off, then when the GPS reports it's stopped moving, BAM go the airjacks.

And those rims are SEXY

Maybe, but your car is probably being thrashed anyway as it would have been stolen

Agreed but not much point if jacks either snap or bend.

If you could make it work you could wire it to a speed sensor. But surely its cost prohibitive not to mention the weight and cost of an airjack system. You could buy an awesome GPS system for that money.

Man im a killjoy :-[

rig it to hand brake switch like a "video player"

would take em/me bout 5 secs to find the airtank and kill it thou

Not if you have the ones that you need to jack up even further to take them off the safety like axel stand mechanism :D

But all opinions are appreciated

Skis would probably work, the best way would probably be belt jacks, that are activated by not pressing a button on your car when it starts, like that button on the steering column shroud, rewire it to deactivate the jacks lowering and are powered by the driveshaft and then reach a certain point and then stop, and puzzlenuts people, they save your mags, make each nut a puzzlenut on each mag, and keep the puzzlers in a secret compartment that's. Behind the stereo or whatever, if y

ou're putting jacks in, a secret compartment for the puzzlers wouldn't hurt.

And ikf the buttons not pressed, it activates the jacks, they get to a point and then disengage, so you need to manually re-activate it.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
