I know I know it may seem over blown but if you own a Hellcat you may want more than ever before protect her. I believe on this forum in the last 6
Months 3 Hellcats have been stolen. And sadly my most recent Charger Hellcat I just traded in has been stolen. And believe at least one other owner of a Charger Hellcat here in the forum has his stolen as well. Can’t remember the other one but thought someone else’s was stolen as well. So summing it up you have a vehicle as you already know is sought after to steal. I would not leave your Hellcat exposed to an easy steal which yeh that’s not so easily to protect everywhere but I would be more cognizant than ever before. Hope the best for all
and not being paranoid but damn seems the stealing is growing and is known Dodges are easy to steal.

Turn off passive entry and a lot of danger goes away. Still wont stop smash and grab but thats very audible.

Throw the fob into a faraday cage when you’re not using it.

Read much?

After the 2020 and 2021 models are handled, Dodge will roll out the same software for 2015 through 2019 model years, with a new year being added every six weeks.

Damn thats great info but if the thieves know what’s going on than damn your truly at a high risk for the moment. And sure all models as the year progresses will be updated but in the meantime I would go Beyond the extra mile to protect my HC.

We came up with a few clever solutions in a PM together. Any long time member that needs some ideas let me know. Think about it, keep it simple stupid and without one or two fundamental items, these cars don’t go anywhere except with a flatbed help. They are so complicated, they are easy to make helpless quickly also.

A wounded duck with like with mud faps on a golpher's ass. I am having Ahi tuna flown in from Alaska and a bottle of red blend cab from Cali called Dreaming Tree. Small bottle will set you back a huge $15.00. Great stuff at 1:30 am.

Please PM me some info. In the meantime I have a steering wheel lock on the way. Of course, I do have the M6 deterrent stock, lol.

Please PM me your thoughts on added security. I’ve purchased the “signal blocker” pouches in anticipation of taking the Redeye on a several day trip. I did the same trip two years ago and never felt threatened but after reading up on it now I feel additional measures are needed.
