UPDATE: July 15, 2006 -- I was bored so I took some new pictures of the Auto Taser in my STI using a Nikon D50. Click here: Auto Taser Pictures
When I first bought the AutoTaser I didn't
have a digital camera so on the weekend I finally got around to taking some video.
Here's the original write-up from my Passat page:
Auto Taser - There are a lot of car thefts in Greater Vancouver and I've had my two previous cars broken into--one car twice (nothing taken because it was empty); and in the other the stereo was stolen. I know the B5 has the rolling code security system but I wanted extra protection without having to trust some outfit to tap into the car's electrical system. Not many B5's around here and I don't want to be a guinea pig. The Auto Taser was perfect for me--no installation required. This is a security bar that locks on to your steering wheel, and...
"If the AUTO TASER’s ultra sensitive vibration detectors sense an intruder, a screeching 120 to 130 decibel alarm is sounded as a warning before aggressive countermeasures are initiated. Five seconds later, a field of electrons completely surrounds the unit. Any attempt to touch the AUTO TASER zaps the thief with an unforgettable, yet non-lethal 5,900 milliwatt (50,000 volt) electron pulse." --By Taser International, the world leader in non-lethal technology and the largest manufacturer of stun systems in the United States.
The AutoTaser has been discontinued and although in the past I've been able to find some old stock on the net, I don't know if they're still available. I contacted Taser International to see if I could get any additional window stickers, and although they were able to send me some other types, I was not able to get ones specific to the AutoTaser.
