Dahler anti theft device

Hi

Has anyone tried this out? How was the install and usability? My concerns are only having one tag and the fact you don’t seem to be able to select the default throttle mapping of which we already have 3!

I guess i am also concerned that the tag will work with any car so fairly easy to defeat.

Feedback welcome

It’s an easy install and it does work as described.

Thanks. I have had no response from them and was considering a home brew version with better security. 🙂

I am teaching myself xcode for developing apps. Looks to me like you need a auto grade microcontroller with dual path a/d d/a plus mapping and training then a Bt stack with a suitably secure and unique pairing process. All the UI can be on a phone.

The hard part would be connectors, cabling and casework. Oh and testing.

My concern would be failure modes as you don’t want the code to fail catastrophically … and head full throttle into a truck.

Easy …. 🙂

Easy indeed
So it pairs with a phone? Sounds like a better solution than the dahler which you have to take with you and press the button before you leave and when you come back to disable it.
Maybe rather than connecting it to the throttle you'd wire it to the start button and disable that instead?
