im more of a safe kind of a person. i live in an urban area, so i bought a few security systems for it. hornet security system and a lojack.
after i took advantage of best buy's free installation, the guy told me i should get a turbo timer.
i read a little about turbo timers and it says that the engine will still run to cool down even with the ignition key out.
doesnt that mean someone could easily steal the car?
cause i heard that having automatic start is an invitation for theives to take the car without a problem.
and whats a good turbo timer brand?

nope its imposibble for them to steal it. The car is gonna shut down regardless and usually you will only have the timer set for like a minute anyway. And greddy makes a good TT

Most TTs have an E-brake safety feature also. If it's wired in, as soon as you put the handle down, the car shuts off.

Ya.. That doesnt happen on mine.. I live in a small town though, where I dont have to worry about it.. You can however just put the key back in, and turn it back to the on position and turn the tt off, and your car will keep running... But you would need the key to do that... So they would be stealing it no matter what anyways
