In truth all products can be hacked, the only thing you look for is how inconvenient is it to remove or find
Back when real cars were actually steel cars, I had an old VH Holden Bommadore with a 202 inline 6. Never used the (supposed $600) steering wheel lock that came with the old bomb. Steering wheel locks or clamps are useless and they certainly can be torn clean off the steering wheel. My landlord told me I should remove the rotor arm from under the distributor cap and stick it in my pocket each night when I lock the car make it harder to steal.
Just remember what position to put the rotor arm back.

What about quick release?
what about the disklock? u havent broke into it…worth it?
That why I go with the best Anti-Theft device, MagnaVolt it gets them every time
Back again after having 2 cars stolen in the last 4 months. No matter what you do to protect your car. Unless it’s garaged. A determined thief can steal anything.
My anti theft device is the manual transmission the young thug doesn't know how to operate.
9:55 Buuuuuulshit meter goes wayy up
Most thieves will not waste their time trying to cut or drill through the club or any other device like it. They'd rather just use a hacksaw and cut a section out of the steering wheel. Lol
Best anti-theft device, 9mm
don’t believe the convenience of the car having someone try to steal the actual car to convenient and that could be milked for so much content if it was real it would have been several minutes of the video
If you live in the city, get a car with a clutch. People today can't drive one, or an old 3 on the tree.
The club with lock facing dash
This is amateur hour, they have EVERY tool at their disposal and no concern for noise.
The potato was not meant to FILL the holes, it was meant to bridge across the connections. You need to smash it in there and hold the potato "cap" in place. So current is carried from one hole out through the potato, and back into another hole. so not a good test, although it doesn't seem that likely to work…
I'm hoping a club is good enough for my Charger
I'm worried if I put a steering lock on my car, it would scream i don't have an immobiliser & is more a target then deterrent
I THINK IT COULD BE MORE BETTER IF YOU PUT SOMETHING UNCOFORTABLE AND DIFICULT TO REMOVE AT THE DRIVER SEAT
Hey if an American people treat everybody with respect and love with her supposed to we wouldn't need locks in our cars and their houses or nothing like that if America was back the way it was back in the day where people used to be able to sleep with the front door open the screen door closing you don't have to worry about nobody walking in why can't we go back to them days why do we have to sleep with me and you would have gone next to us or whatever and why do we have to have an alarm security and all that crap when back in the day you can see what the door open leave your car unlocked you don't have to worry about nothing nowadays you got to sleep with a gun next to you what's going on with America lol
Locks keep normal people out because normal people don't steal only the thieves get past the locks yeah basically deluxe only for normal people they're not good against thieves
Unless you have your car or your motorcycle whatever it is valuable to you next to your bed in your bedroom somebody's going to try to steal I guarantee you do not leave it outside your garage or outside your house cuz somebody will steal no matter what it is it doesn't have to be tied down don't take it they don't care to crack heads or meth heads
I meant to say locks keep innocent people out but they don't keep the criminals out lobster made only for innocent people that aren't going to break them unfortunately in America we got too many tools and too much technology to actually keep anything safe anymore so no matter what kind of like you have unless you got a welded to the floor it's going to be taken if somebody wants a bad enough
Hey gentlemen how you doing I appreciate you guys showing us what we should know anyway listen locks keep innocent people out
Try playdoe on the one you tried the potato!!!
HOW ABOUT TO INSTALL A KILL SWITCH FOR THE GEAR OR TRANSMISSION SHIFT ??????????
