You have to get a tune. Like Cobb AP or Uprev. Then you get extra ECU maps, like valet and anti-theft.

Yeah, anti-theft. It works by modifying the rev limit. On my car, for instance, if I load the anti-theft map, revs are limited to 1000 rpm. So you can start the car, but you ain't going anywhere. For the valet map, I have the revs limited to 3000 rpm.

But, yet you can't start the car without the Fob, right?

Damn that is sweet. Do you have any detail on that posted somewhere on the forum? I'm curious how you switch between modes.

+1 :tiphat:

wouldn't the anti-theft tune be more useful with a rev limiter of 0 RPM.

or a tune that doesn't turn on the fuel pump.

With Uprev, you switch between maps using your cruise control buttons. You hold down the Coast/Set toggle switch, and tap the Cancel button the number of times corresponding to the map slot you want to load, then release the toggle switch. For example, let's say you want to load the map that's in slot 3 (there's a max of 5 slots). You hold down the toggle, tap the cancel button 3 times, then release the toggle. The green cruise control light (the one that lights up when you turn your cc on) will flash 3 times to confirm that you've loaded in map 3. That's it, you're done. You have to remember which map is in which slot, of course.

With the Cobb AP, you'd have to connect the AP device up to your OBDII port and load the desired map via the device.



I'm not 100% on this, but I seem to recall that Uprev's software doesn't allow for the rev limit to be set at zero. I watched Sharif when he did it, and he had to input a range of min and max rpm. I don't think the sw allows you to set both at zero. He also called Uprev and checked with them for the best way to do it, and they recommended just setting the rev limit at 1k. Personally, I wouldn't want it set at zero, because there are rare instances when I do want to leave the car running at idle, but need to walk away. In fact, just this morning on my way to the gym I stopped off at a bank machine. It was nice to be able to just pull up next to the machine, load the anti-theft map, and go use the bank machine real quick. It was 5am and nobody was around. But if someone jumped in and tried to drive off, they wouldn't have been able to. Or maybe if you live in a cold area and want to warm up your car in the driveway, you could load the anti-theft map and go back inside and finish your coffee without having to worry. You could and should lock your door if you do that, of course. But it's still nice to know that if some jerk saw your car sitting there idling in the driveway and smashed the window to get in and drive off. D'oh! Surprise! The motor's running but you can't go anywhere!
