I will working part time ( a few weeks) at shopping mall... The place is kinda open car park !

So, I m thinking to buy Steerling lock or Pedal lock ? Or its not necessary ?

should I also put " unbreakable" wear on the steering ? look ugly...

pick your choice or get both...

most ppl would agree to get brake pedal lock as it is more secure... but you need to remember to open the lock before driving... if you have extra budget, got the type that tap to your ignition so that you can't start until you open the lock...

or, the steering lock will work as well... though no extra features...

anyway, thief usually dont bother to touch the car when they see the car got extra security like steering lock or brake pedal lock... unless they're really determined...

RM100 is not a bad investment for pedal lock. But the word unbreakable is wrong. For RM100, I doubt you can get something lock mechanism that is unbreakable. You can use it long term and it does give you car one more layer of protection. So go ahead and get it.

STEERING not STEERLING

Ya... Corrected !

put both also.. if the pencuri want to steal ur car.. tow away the car.. easy

but i still use steering lock haha

any good recommendation for steering lock... ?

pedal lock only , steering waste of money .
why they could just saw a bit of your steering wheel to loose the lock.
unless you change ur steering wheel to steel of coz.
but its mighty dangerous if u had an accident later!!!

i want to revive back this topic. what is the best lock for car? how much does it cost if pedal lock is better?

I myself got a pedal lock for my car around 300 including installation.Since then,i ditched off my steering lock which i have been using before i bought the p.lock.
Quite convenient than s.lock as you just need to slot in the key and unlock it where as you have to unlock and take out and put somewhere bla bla for the s.lock.
Personally i would say pedal lock does a better job,but both wil be a good combo if you have a eye catchy civic or something.

Just buy a car that not popular, especially a car that can create hate to others, like Proton.

I have witnessed a myvi installed with a brake pedal lock almost bang the car parked in front of the Myvi when the owner forgot to release the lock.
Apparently, the brake pedal lock still allow a small free play on the brake pedal thus allowing the owner to shift the gear to D while the brake remain locked.

I'm using this for 3 years already.

I've been using this for almost 10 years dy

It can be abit inconvenient since need to take out and place somewhere else, and some cars can't fit it (ie, my old Waja can't use it)

Inconvenience very true. But because of that the thief without keys.... i dunno how is he going to manage. I got mine cheap with Jusco voucher that time. Less than RM100.

The thief can try to pick the lock......mine uses dimple key which supposedly takes longer to pick, so I think it's deterrent enough.

Mine is a cross key dunno how effective.

Indeed it is inconvenient but due to its portability, it can be double up as a defense weaponry in the even of road bully.

Why waste money with all these locks? If they eye car, confirm gone.

2 same cars park side by side. One has lock, the other does not. Guess which one the thief will steal?


Most car thefts are theft of opportunity, not planned beforehand.
