I think in South Africa you can get some awesome anti-carjack measures/devices. In the US and Europe, you can opt for BMW Assist (standalone or part of the ZPP package). Its basically a telemetry device with support similar to Mercedes-Benz's Teleaid and GM's OnStar. In the event your car is jacked, the BMW Assist center can track your car via GPS and assist the cops in recovery. Btw, trivia tidbit: BMW moved the central lock button to the center dash vent location, to make it more highly visible. In the event of a car jacking, the perps would be able to see that you're only attempting to open the doors and not pull out a weapon (or otherwise), defusing a potentially deadly episode. This is input from the South African market were car jacking is rampant. I think you can install an aftermarket tracking device in Malaysia similar to Lojack. But keep in mind, even this is not 100% effective. This device is only as good as the police support/cooperation. Nowawadays determined thieves go as far as loading the car into aluminum/tin foli lined containers that help block out the tracker signal. At the end of the day, that's what insurance is for. If someone jacked your car, would you want it back?</blockquote>
