i just bought a Pioneer DEH-P8400MP deck for my Celi and a friend suggested I use screws with irregular shaped heads to prevent it from being stolen. But all the websites I've found deal directly with companies that buy these things in gross, and I need like 4. Also I haven't come across any security screws esp. made for car decks. Anyone know of a website, manufacurer, or even store that has these? thanx!

Honestly I dont think it will make much of a difference. Basically all theyll do is rip it out anyways. Safest way of preventing it from being stolen is taking the face off.

if they want it bad enough they will get it. they will just rip your dash up to get it out.

Actually, I just thought of this, you should get some torx screws for security. Torx screws are kind of like allen head hex screws, but instead of a hex, the hole is shaped like a star. They should work pretty good, what kind of a stereo theif is going to have a torx driver with him when they are looking for a stereo to steal?

crap if they've already gotten into your car.. they're gonna take the stereo no matter what.. they can just rip out your dash and chop stuff up like when my civic got stolen..

Sometimes it'll make it worse...if they can't get it out quickly the old fashioned way...most of them will just screw up your car just to make you pissed off.

A guy tried to steal the kenwood (one of the first auto flip down fold back ones) in our Corolla, couldn't get it out, and ended up trashing the console with a screwdriver just because.

Hell..he wasn't too smart..I had a $20 in the change box, and 2 12's in the trunk, plus a whole stash of CDs in the backseat.

Dumbass didn't get anything but our faceplate.

Personally, I think it's better that you just let them steal it and get a brand new one. They'll get it either by unscrewing it or RIPPING it outta the dash.

I'd rather have them unscrew it or something.

Jeez, they practically RIPPED off my gauge and LCD off the dash in March. They don't give a damn. :(
