Which 1 is better for me?
AutoLock = Many said it good, but my kelisa auto gear can be changed from
P to D with pressing brake.
StopLock = Quite famous last time... but dunno how now..
Got any recommend ? Any locking device that works better?
Let's do it like this ..

No locks are 100% but its good to install them.
I've given my comment on autolock in other threads but I can say it is BAD.
Especially the smartshop one. This is my experience. Others will have
different views on it
1. Heavy.
2. The 'T' base tends you scratch your dashboard and stereo during
handling especially if you are the type that puts the locks at the
passenger seat. Putting the autolock below the drivers seat also problem
as the 'T' base sometimes will interfere with your paddling as this will
be dangerous.
3. One size dun fit all as car have different structures. Works great with
my benz but very loose in my Vios.
4. Frankly speaking...I know a way of defeating the autolock and you can
still drive the car...normally...Thats REALLY BAD! I cannot say how but
I've tried it on two autolocks and both failed. I thief can easily do a
mounting jig and hammer it and it will fail in less than 10 sec.
So far never heard of anyone losing a car yet using autolock.
StopLock....err...depending on the model...I can say it will take a thief
a max of 2 to 3 mins to overcome it. Cutting a steering wheel can be done
easily in 30secs. Actually I'm being over conservative here..hehe
I've heard of many cases ppl. losing car using the basic stoplock (not the
stoplock pro models).
But I think that Locktech is worth investing in.
Another product is that steering lock that covers the whole of the
steering wheel. Both will set you back abt RM400 ~ 500. But i might be
wrong.
Adding oldschool hidden switches is cool also. It will ###### down and
make it harder for him. Some ppl. will go to the extent to add a dummy
switch under the dash that will activate a hidden horn forever until the
owner comes to switch it of.
