inside the passenger side door. To access it, the door had to be
opened.
On exiting the car, I placed the key in the lock and turned it 90

to open the doors (including the tailgate) with the alarm
button/central
locking. The key was essential. Even if a thief smashed a window, it
was
impossible to open the doors. A very difficult car to steal. And that
was back in 1992!

Sounds good for it's intended purpose, but also potentially dangerous
if something goes wrong and a person is trapped in the car.


**I can't see a problem, unless someone is dumb enough to deadlock the

happen to have been cut). The keys were about $10.00 each for that
model, as the remote control was a separate thing. I liked it a lot,
because I frequently carried valuable equipment in the car and never
once in the 10 years of ownership was the car broken into. Something
which cannot be said for any of my other cars I've owned. I suspect the
car thieves are well aware of just how difficult they are to steal.

Doubt it, getting a car broken into is just bad luck and if you have had
it happen more than once I very much doubt that it has anything to do
with the type of car you own.
BTW its very very easy to break into a deadlocked Commodore, you just
smash a window.

**Correct. Trouble is, everything then has to be removed via that
window, because it is still impossible to open the doors.

It's
also the only car I've owned that I didn't lock the keys inside of
because I was always in the habit of deadlocking the doors and that can
only be done with the key from the outside. Brilliant, simple system.

You don't paint a very good picture of yourself

**Howso? Have you never locked the keys inside any of your cars? I've
never done with a car that uses remote central locking, but manual
locking is a whole nuther thing.

Not easy to do if you are in a public place and don't want to draw
attention to yourself or you don't want to damage the door but very easy
with a battery angle grinder, no such thing as a totally secure car.

Maybe once in 45yrs.

She's blonde, right? ;-)

Lol

She has blonde tips in her hair, so I'm sure that accounts for something
