Have to park my car outside for a month what should I do?

[JMH1099]

Hi guys, I have to leave my car outside for a month since I will go to another state and hope leave the car at my current place. I have few question willing to ask you guy!
1. Do I have to disconnect the battery?
2. Is better to have car cover or just leave it ( just did paint correction and applied wax on the car)?
3. My car is about to get an oil change, is this matter if I do it after I go back or before I leave?
Thanks for all the help guys!

You don't have to disconnect the battery

I'd clean the car, then put a high quality cover on it like Covercraft's Noah. I don't want the sun baking the carbon roof for a solid month

The oil change part doesn't matter either

If you're not taking your car key with you, put it in the furthest corner of the house. Will lessen the likelihood someone could use a signal extender to steal your car. If you don't have comfort access then disregard.

Interesting. So if you don't have comfort access, the signal extender can't be used to get in the car otherwise?? I have two cars, one with comfort access and one without. One car is usually outside, while the other is in the garage along with my wife's car. I always keep the keys for whichever car is left out in a RFID blocker pouch. But it sounds like I don't need to worry about that for my car that doesn't have comfort access???

I could be wrong about entry w/o comfort access, maybe someone else can chime in?

Correct cars with c/a are prone to suitcase method. But I've never heard of a car stateside getting jacked like that although I'm sure it has happened.

I'd probably make sure your tires are on the higher pressure side too. Put 38psi in them before you leave.

A G30 was reportedly stolen with the signal extender device around my area. I think it was 10 months ago or so. I'm in Hawai'i, if someone down here has one, they're definitely up stateside as well

I'd get a monthly parking pass somewhere and park it in a covered parking where it can be monitored by CCTV.

i've parked my car in the driveway for a month before. nothing happened.

Wow guys, thanks about the advices! My car have no options so I think it don't have comfort access is this still matters?

Ain't nobody trying to focks with dat hoopti' tho... cut up hood n shit missing half the innards!!

Ufvits on the street, I'd get front and rear bumper stops. DO NOT cover the car. That's telling everyone it's not being driven and Jack it. Disconnect the battery and that will stop the c/a bill. Inflate tires slightly

Maybe rent a storage unit? Can’t be that much for 1 month.

[6ixSpd]

A month is nothing lol.

[wyatth]

Battery and oil, nothing needed and don’t overthink it.
I’d put a cover on it, or at minimum gummipflege the rubber, put a sealant on your CF roof, and throw a sunshade in the windshield. UV kills everything.

Wow such a risk taker!

[serranot]

Park it and don't worry about it.

Well if your worried about your car being stolen from a signal extender, just disconnect your battery as it will save your battery and car from being stolen. You can use the manual key to lock the car.

If it was the winter months, you may want to keep a full load of fuel as well.

[Richneerd]

Disconnect battery, lock the car manually, use a car cover, have your neighbors check up on it weekly.

come back and enjoy!

Be sure to fold down your rear seats if you disconnect battery!
