is the front panel/faceplate removable as a theft deterrent?

looks like it should, and says it's removable on another sight but, I haven't figured out how to get it off if it is

Yes, but I didn't use them. I opted for the high security screws instead to help deter theft of registration plate and frame. My opinion, it's worth the extra investment.

Someone else commented that it takes alot to remove this and I agree. Anyone trying to take this will be spending a bit of time trying to remove it. As suggested, tamper proof nuts would seem like a good way to go. A long shank padlock would probably fit over the crossbars and rack and lock it on too.

If it CAN be removed (which I doubt, as it seems pretty solidly a part of the unit), then the company would have to do it, I think. But why would you want to remove it? It juts out only an inch-and-a-half from the back and looks decent, too. It turned out to be useful for installing the PSU in the case, and afterwards it can be good for keeping track of those not-so-often-used-but-easily-lost USB cables, like for a camera.

It is designed to be removable from it's wall mount so it can be emptied. So, I would think it could probably be easily stolen.

I don't know what the first question means. The rack mount is part of the face plate, so no, it can't be removed.

The case is on very secure but I have not had the opportunity to take mine off. However, I have heard from other forums that you can use an old credit card or one of those savings keyring fobs and place it between the case and the computer and gently pry it off.

If the face is detachable it only becomes a security feature when it is removed from the unit because theinitnitself is useless without the face. But this unit does not have a detachable face

The TYT9000D does not have a removable face plate. Something I would like to add is if your car is sitting in the sun to long and gets to hot there is a safety feature that trips and prevents the radio from turning on and being damaged. Just unplug the radio and count to 30 and it resets, and your back in business. I love this radio.

The "Detachable Face Plate" referred to in the manual found on the mfg website is not the whole screen that's removable. It's only the thin plastic bezel around the screen/unit that is removable and not the whole LCD panel itself.

No theft proof screws on this item but i don't think you have anything to worry about this bumpshox when it comes to theft.

This unit has a button that releases the entire front display so you can take it with you. It's an anti-theft feature. When you return to your car, just pop it back into place and off you go!

Yes. The front glass panel is a hinge door that keeps itself shut with some magnets.

The rack comes with allen bolts thus making it a somewhat slow process to take down. So it would look rather odd if someone tries to steal it at a public spot. Having said that, I do not know of any security system for it.

Hi Omar, if you are pertaining if the face plate (front panel) is detachable to the main unit, then yes it can be detached. -Ely
