Went to 2 WalMarts today and both said that they had to pull them off the shelves because of a recall, possibly because of copyright issues. They said that PepBoys carries it, but I dont want to buy one if the recall was because of a defect. If it had something to do with a patent, then fine, as long as it works correctly, but if there is something wrong with the product itself, then I'm going to hold off.

Anyone know anything about this?

 

dang! i was about to go buy one too

 

i already have two from before so it they do recall because of an issue, I guess I'll hear about it soon...

-aoib0t, who corntinues the layered security route

 

****, are you guys for real? I bought a Autolock pro not to long ago and never sent it the registration card. I think I may have thrown that out the with trash a long time ago...dam...

 

i havent heard about i... but i would love to hear the details... any links to an official recall notice?

 

Mine works great! BTW, they have some at the shop next to my house George
*edit* IM me, if you want me to pick you up one

Thanks Greg. I'm looking for an excuse to drive my R , so I'm going to stop by PepBoys now and see if they have any.

BTW, can anyone tell me the difference between the standard Autolock and the Autolock Pro?

 

while your there, pick up some altezza's for the new ARRRR

 

Not sure, but you can find some info here
http://autolock.com/

 

Packaging and the position of the actual locking mechanism. I bought the pro for piece of mind, probably would kick my self later down the line knowing that I could have got the "PRO" instead of regular.

Also, it comes with a $5000 gaurantee instead of a $1000.. hah!

My friends and I debated over this at the store when we were buying ours.

 

The "Pro" version uses a circular style key (like a vending machine) instead of a flat one... And the lock cyclinder points upwards towards the top instead of sideways, so it's easier to insert/remove the key.

 

So what's up with the recall? Anyone here know?

 

Check local laws, the guarantee may not be valid in your state.

 

No wonder there were two different keys.

 

Well I went ahead and bought the AutoLock Pro from PepBoys. It seems as if the copyright issue only existed with WalMart.

 

I heard CA doesn't honor the $1000, or $5000 thing if your car gets jacked.

 

How much is the autolock PRO

 

Has this thing been defeated yet? Chances are it would have before but i'm yet to read a story about one that has been.

I'd like to buy one.. but they're not making them available outside the US

 

if anybody wants one, the kmart and target by my pad has like 100 each and i am willing to buy ti for you all if you need it. just let me know.

 

That damn thing needs to be recalled, hell it isn't totally thief proof!

 

$100? I got mine for $69

 

The AutoLock Pro at PepBoys was $59.99, which is cheaper than the internet sites I was checking out. The standard AutoLock was 39.99, but I felt it was worth the extra $20. If you read the package on the standard autolock it will say "resists freon, resists picking, resists cutting.....etc". On the Pro it says pick-proof, freon-proof, cut-proof....etc.

To me the $5000 (covers up to 5k from your deductable) is not the reason why I bought it. I simply bought it to add another obstacle between my car and thieves, thats all.

PS
I'm not totally sure how that 5k and 1k thing works because I havnt had the chance to read it yet, but they used the word "comprehensive" when explaining what it was for and they also mentioned that they only cover your deductable....at least thats what I thought I read.

 

Does the Autolock fit on the Brake peddal in the Integras, or will it only fit on the clutch peddal?

 

Fits on either the brake or the clutch

 

i didnt mean $100, i meant that each store has 100 autolocks. if someone paid $100 for this, they should be taken out back and beaten.
