Looks like now there is no sizes. When I got mine I asked the dealer for one for my Cali. I'll check the box this weekend.

Thanks for the reply. The sizes are in letters L, M, X and so on, the application list I found on line said C for a California and M for a Volkswagen T5 so not confident which to order.

Mi Cali is a 2015 model and looks like pedals are a little different than previous years (don't now exactly since when).

When I got mine the seller told me there were no longer sizes... he just gave me the proper one.

Mine have no sizes in the box label, but I'll check it up. It comes with two interchangeable red extremes... maybe that's because have no sice.

I'll check all this weekend for you.

Hi ArunAlec,
I see you have disagreed with my post. Thats fine. But I am a little confused. What do you disagree with? Do you have experience of these devices? or do you disagree that it might deter the opportunist thief?

Borris,

I didn't mean to disagree! Must have had finger trouble, bloody touch screen and big fingers. Now corrected! Device does look good!

No problem. I just thought that you might be able to give some feed back on these devices.
Best wishes

I've just checked my Bullock and it have no size as it use to have. Instead it comes with two adjustable adapters which you can set to your pedals.

I guess "professionals" could manage to remove it someway, but the harder the better. I think they just put vans on a trailer and then will have time enough to remove whatever.

I'm now enquiring about a Cat 5 Tracker with VHF, to be installed by a 3rd party at the dealer - prior to collection. In addition, probably going to go for Smart Water too after reading about it here on the forum. Hope neither are ever needed in anger. This thread has been a security revelation for me. Thanks all.

This is what I use on my T3, they do do a T5 one but I'm not sure how practical it would be for a daily vehicle. Its solid and would be quite hard to remove. My only negative is its very big and very heavy, but thats part of the security I guess.

Had one on my Defender. not easy if the vehicle is a Daily Driver, but with the Defender virtually any key would open it.
Having said that. The Californias mentioned in this thread were all taken from home with the keys acquired from the house. So a Daily Driver would probably be safe away from the house as the keys would be with the driver.!

Nobody confirmed my fuse question yet?

Looks like its the same fuse. Power goes via rail 50 in the fuse panel. Same as the T4 as it appens.

So, if somebody cares to verify this the it would appear this is an anti-theft aid. Pull the fuse. Better still, get a dummy that's blown and fit that in it's place.
Now, before the tea leaves read this, lets delete the thread.

I'll give it a try at the weekend
