They have several at http://www.bavauto.com, their "ultimate cover" is $20 off. I saw they also have a lock you can get for them... They ranged in price from $80 - $190... PS, if you are being deployed as part of the military I just want to say "thank you for your service, it is appreciated..."

do they know you're going to be storing the car for a long time (essentially winterizing)?
other things i suggest; sta-bil in the fuel tank/system. pour in amount you need, fill up, drive home and park it.
do inspection II right before you leave. you want fresh oil in there to prevent bits corroding in the oil.
if it's garaged, there are light covers to keep the dust off on ebay for not a lot of money. if it's outdoors, buy a good one and really tighten it down and park it next to a wall if you can. wind shaking the cover will mess up the paint.
get plywood squares to put the tires on to prevent tire rot.
put towels over the dash to keep the vinyl from drying out too quickly.
put a few boxes of baking soda around the car.
i may think of other things. | | | | | 12-09-2004, 05:08 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |
get your radio code first, then disconnect the battery and bring it inside. | | | | | 12-09-2004, 05:37 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 153 |
Hey aceyx, is there a way to get the stereo to show you the current code? The card with the code was not in mine when I bought it. The owner thinks he has it and is going to try to find it for me, but would rather not rely on him...

afaik, no.
you can however, take it to the dealer and have them look up the code on a database. if you're on good terms with them, it'll be free. if you're not, probably about $10. | | | | |
