i personally own an autolock from smartshop..price rm 248. very good
product. carrefour also sell a different version of autolock , abt half
the price. looks the same but not the real autolock.

Add in another 200 bucks and get a 'dislock'...best mechanical lock in the
market buddy.

A lock vs a simple immobiliser. Which you prefer?

Give me latter anytime. Tq.

Gimme autolock (smartshop) and I can release it within a few minutes.
I've broke 2 of my friends one oledi...not including my own..hehe

Give it to a pro thief...it can be broken within 10secs. Most pro thief
would have prepared the necesary tools to do it.

The method of release the lock has something to do with.....errrr...I
can't tell...hehe..but the autolock got at weakness...same goes to other
locks. One hint is the handle...and why it was designed slanted.
This method was not tried in the 'Autolock' as seen on TV advent. None of
the thief tried my method out.

But I'm still using Autolock together with other 'locks' also.

If you give me a choice of safe locks....you should get the
disklock...which cover the whole steering wheel.

I also did see in a car mag...I think it was 'i'car..there is a
steeringwheel lock that claims to be 100% clean record. You should check
out the mag.

maybe the autolock is used on the wrong car (which is not suitable for
autolock)...huhu now got replies that make me think twice whether to buy
autolock pro or not...sigh..

Breaking the lock has nothing to do with what car. Just bang a critical
spot a few times and the catch release the lever after a few shakes. I
know that in the advent they showed some thief banging the Autolock. But
they did it at the wrong place...again if you read my previous reply above
I gave a few hints.

Anyway, driving a car without the footbreak is no problem for a
professional.

Ppl. will do anything to safeguard their car. My friend even better. He
modified his seat so that can padlock it! So after going out from the
seat, he liftup the seat lever (so that the seat folds forward) and
padlocks it. Although still not fool proof...I bet a thief will look for
another car when faced with something like this.
