Am I okay to install an immobiliser in a car I have on finance, or is that considered a modification?
I'm awaiting delivery of a new Audi S3 and, following a number of car thefts in my street, I'm looking at buying the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser. Given that this has to be wired into the car, does it matter that the car has been bought on a PCP finance deal? Am I okay to make modifications like this?

I think (but can't be sure) that installing the OBD Portector system is completely reversible, so shouldn't invalidate any warranty or cause to much trouble: www.obdportector.com/installation/
I'd always check with the finance company before doing anything serious though. If they give you the go ahead, it might be worth asking about the Ghost as well because it protects against key cloning too.

I can't get my head around PCPs. Are they a brilliant consumer deal or will they destroy secondhand car sales in the future? Is the used car market doomed to collapse at some point due to all the PCP offers?
