Another reason to get black jaxx installed, read this a while back when i had the type-r. Having black jaxx installed does give you some peice of mine that even if your car is hi-jacked that you can recover it from the scene youself.

Anybody whos even a little concerned about car jackin can could do a lot worse than spend £180-£160 on this device. Contact S.I.M (sound in motiom) for more details.

The moral of the story is never ever use your rear mirror!
