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

Money seems to grow on trees for you i guess? Remind me to come to your house with Mosanto® so i can teach how life is without that tree.

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.

s.lock is easy to spot but p.lock not by theft. so i think if there are two cars, one p.lock and one s.lock, the theft will immediately turn attention to car with p.lock cause he dont see the lock.

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 thought driver cannot start an engin until driver release the p-lock. hmm.gif

The problem here is when you start the engine when gear is at P, the design fault of the pedal lock allows a small free play to enable you to step on the brake pedal and release the Shift-lock to move the gear to D.
I'm talking those hidden type pedal lock where car owner tend to forget the brake pedal was locked.

Proton no need lock. If sufficiently insured, it is better of to get indemnified for being stolen then selling at market price.

the pedal lock are connected to a socket in ur car when you installed,it is to prevent u to start ur car when ur lock still engage
as i knw for my city 2012,if u didn't start ur car even u step on the brake also u can't move the gear shift
it is troublesome sometimes but i feel like it is more secure thn normal shift lock button
