I just ordered it off the net. Along with my alarm system, it should help quite a bit to deture wannabe criminals from ripping off my car.

What do you guys think? I know not everything is 100%, but its better than nothing right? Does anybody here have one? What do you think of it?

Thanks guys!

 

i got one not too long ago...the thing is heavy as hell...i gotta say its better than a club...

 

hey teken, can you still repo the car if it has the autolock? or just slow you down? what do you think of them?

 

it'll probaby deter an amateur theif.. i think if a pro theif wants your car its theirs no matter what you have... i might buy one just for another layer of security (along w/ my alarm, club, kill switch, batt back up and hood lock) if i can find anotha friend to buy one w/ me.. its sumthin like 1st one is $60 and the 2nd one is $30.. so split the cost.. it'd be $45 each... for me and my friend lolz..

 

I still think that this place http://www.arcotrac.com/ offers the best form of security. The only thing the other stuff does is slow a thief down, Could you imagine the look on the thiefs face when the cops show up at the location where the car is being stripped. I would love to see it.

 

this is a good idea... i like the autolock, it gives me the added security that i need other than my alarm.

 

nah!

 

Just out of curiousity, how in theory do you go around the autolock? Do you actually take off the unit or are you leaving it there and electronically bypassing the clutch to start the car? On the commercial they made it look like its indestructable LoL. I guess not. I'm just wondering because THat is the only security i have on my car. I guess i should get more layers of security now

today i saw a car in the parking lot of a mall with ONLY the autolock's steering wheel cover! lol...

 

PLEASE, don't anyone answer that question here!...

I can't believe it was even asked...

 

Do they sell these at walmart,target,kmart type stores? Or internet only, I would like to go pick one up today. Thanks.

 

nm i figured it out

 

i could have sworn i saw it at Autozone (auto parts store) the other day.. but im not sure if they sell it at the stores you mention (walmart, kmart, target)..

 

i got it for christmas and i use it all the time esp. when im in the city...heavy as hell, good weapon im sure...

 

Do you know where they got it from? I'm looking to buy one but don't know how much they are or where to go about looking for one?

 

i don't know where they got it for me at, but i've seen it at pep boys or an auto zone and i saw them for sale at Bj's wholesale club....hope that helps

target has them for $49.95. you can always check ebay

 

If you buy it off ebay, you do not qualify for the reimbursement if you car was stolen unless it was purchase in a retail store plus you have a receipt for it. You MUST also send in the registration card by 10 days or else you get the picture.... no $$$ if you car get stolen. Also, I have seen a post about a guys car being stolen with the autolock on it. When he contacted autolock about his reimbursement since he had the autolock install. Autolock refused his claim because they "NEVER RECIEVED" his registration of the autolock. So he was out of luck

So a rule of thumb, when you send it the registration card, make sure you send it in REGISTERED MAIL. So you know they would have recieved it.

 

check your sunday ads.. i could have sworn i saw it on sale at Kragen for $39 one time.. maybe it was autozone.. i forget..

 

teken, i have a question posted on HANDS OFF, i would greatly appreciate it if u were to give me some advise. tanks, studentdriver

 

damn maybe ill buy another one since i didnt do the registration. sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

 

Hey I have a autolock what an alarm. I even put it on when I park it in my garage. I just try to make it a habbit to put it on every time I get out of the car. You have to think of it this way. Is that 10 secons it takes to put it on every time worth it? I would say so considering how all you have to cut the alarm to get a car. Backup sirens are a plus as well with a aditional pwr source.

I wonder why they cant make an alarm that dissengages the hood when its going off. Or do they?

 

cant you set your alarm so it automatically locks the electric hood lock when your alarm is armed?

 

I'm not sure they do. they would have to put a mechanism in that disengages the cable so that when they try to pop your hood it wont. I'm sure they can do this tho.
