Older cellular tech used more power, with towers fewer and farther between the signal would drop less often, but just be slow overall. You could literally power led light "stickers" that flashed when it rang with old Nokia phones. The point of 4g is more frequent but smaller antennas, so a much weaker but ultimately faster signal with multiple points of connection. It can drop when you lose signal, as the signals are much weaker
Jeremy didn't want the alarm fitted, but, due to the value of the vehicle, the insurer required Ford to install the immobilizer before he could take delivery of it. It was a finger-pointing game between the insurer, Ford, and the third-party that Ford had contracted to install the immobilizer. Just a total fuster-cluck.

Just had my 80's series floorpan rust repaired and whole interior sound deanded and reupholstered, trust me if you want a offroad vehicle get a hilux and thrash that and keep the landy garaged. I regret using my landy off road, its just my towwing rig now whenever i take the 22ft boat out or the caravan for camping and touring.
I mean it ain't any safer than a regular alarm system that will do that automatically, the cables are still there and there is a way to bypass it, if you can with normal alarms you can with the manual one. The only way I can see this being beneficial is if the ECU had it from the factory so that it couldn't by bypassed, thats how cars are done nowadays if they have a factory alarm, you just can't call them
What fascinates me about rewatching top gear is that the experience changes so much depending on when you watch it. For example a review of the latest ford focus is interesting when its brand new, not interesting at all for the next few years, but then it becomes interesting again once the car reaches a certain age. It starts off as a showcase of modern technology, then for a certain period its just not interesting at all because all cars have it, then it becomes a showcase of old 'retro' technology instead. At some point I went through a fairly long period where I would have skipped that Mitsubishi segment, but retrospective makes it more interesting than ever.

Nowadays in Canada, they steal cars at Walmart parking lot, in broad daylight, and the police won't do a thing (catch and release policy, they can't do anything anyway), and by the time you file a case with the police, your car has arrived another country and sold as second hand luxury

Well two out of three I could wrap my head around.
That police Scorpio sounds awesome. What engine is that?
Thought the same, most probably a 2.9 v6 EFI. The old cologne/essex v6's really have a characteristic sound to them.
Prob a 2.9 V6 auto, police had some very good cars then
Fantastic that the reg is still on an old Mercedes. Sad that it’s not that gorgeous BMW
And H1 MMC off the Sigma is on a 2013 ML
_"A large boxing glove comes out of the steering wheel and punches you in the face."_ Na man, that's just the airbag.. 😂
That would be a hell of an anti-theft device though, if you could activate the airbag from your phone!
"Tonight!!! I stole a car, James got he car stolen and Hammond got his car nicked!!!"
No drop in tone at the end of sentences shows his development of the craft. Quite posh too, wasn't expecting that
He didn't know he would be sitting in one of the most iconic bmws and I'm not a fan of them but this one was something else
2:38 yeah right this is what happens 😂😂
Nowadays in Canada, they steal cars at Walmart parking lot, in broad daylight, and the police won't do a thing (catch and release policy, they can't do anything anyway), and by the time you file a case with the police, your car has arrived another country and sold as second hand luxury
Who is stupid enough to live in Canada? 😁
I was just a kid when this was made but it seems like a better time in the UK.
LOL The 90s Shell Suits i had one as a kid mine was Pink ha h a
I wish the Magna's (Sigma) in Australia were made with all the mod cons you got in Japan and the EU 😭
wow how far we've come, theres now a 4WD in every brand to choose from alarms in Australia at least arent even a thing anymore.
This is so 80s it's brilliant
1991
Ironic seeing him extolling these high tech remote anti-theft devices considering the issues he had later with his GT40's aftermarket system. I bet most of these didn't work any better.
“Thermoplastic bumpers” yes tEcHNoLOgY
Just goes to show he does actually know about the technical details of cars
More sophisticated than today
Miss those sounds on computer
Man, its so funny how modern day post-TGT Jeremy looks like he could eat like 4 young Jeremy's at once.
Old gms are easy, with that big key thing in the ignition, you can turn that and take it.
12:00
“It looks the same tho” yea still the same
He swapped the stolen bmw n stole a Mk3 cavalier!😂😂 Jeremy knows, cavaliers was always stolen😂
Wow the computer told the "independent women" to call the Police . It even spelt out the number 999.😂
Consider how much they tracked you in the 90s, imagine today! Where every car comes fitted with standard 2G and 3G communication.
