Security and steering wheel lock mk7.5
« on: 28 October 2017, 12:17 »
Hey!

Just had my new 7.5 delivered and would like to get some recommendations on security. I've been hunting around on Amazon and reading reviews on steering wheel locks, trackers etc..

There are so many mixed reviews and these days you just don't know if these are genuine or not. so I would like to some opinions here.

Cheers

No idea about steering locks but did you know that it is frowned upon here to not post photos of your car :grin:

I was mainly looking at the Stoplock pro.

Haha of course. Unfortunately it was pissing it down when I took delivery, so not the greatest of pics ;)

Ive read a fair bit recently about security and been watching the stolen cars UK group on Facebook

Disclok seems to be the only one that's takes some effort to bypass, heavy and cumbersome though (and expensive)

Ghost immobiliser is the most frequently recommended that I've seen

I hear trackers can be jammed or found and removed

Do you have kessy keyless? If so keep your keys away from the front door / wall and in a radio blocking bag / biscuit tin / fridge / microwave etc to block signal booster theft

Don't bother with any other type.

Which size would you recommend? Small for a golf?

The website suggests you check your steering wheel size before you order, and in the ‘Description’ section, at the link below it shows the correct way to measure your wheel to ensure you order the correct size.
