Steering wheel lock please?

[JJazz]

Looking for best to buy?.

[R2D3]

I have a Stoplock Pro Elite which i bought for my previous car (BMW X1) which fitted over the large steering wheel 'hub'.  Fits my Jazz well too, though I believe that the sort that completely cover the wheel provide the best security but are heavy and their size makes storage difficult.

+1 for Stoplock, why target Jazz when you can be off inside 2 mins on JLR vehicles

Disklok is the strongest option, although a more expensive option.

A recent article I read suggested that these days they are stealing just about all cars, Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage being high on the thief's list. 
JLR, particularly Range Rovers have an issue, but this is related more to pre 2022 versions, which JLR are addressing with a key software update to enable the key go into sleep mode.


Another option to improve car security is to disable the comfort access.

Stoplock pro here. Fits the wheel perfectly, easy to use. The arm rests nicely on the gear stick panel/trim.

Maybe because those JLR vehicles have a Bearlock installed?

I always have my fingers crossed that no one will want to steal my Jaguar when my Jazz is sitting next to it on the drive 

Still, my Jaguar has the Secure Tracker Pro fitted(3 year subscription) which hopefully addresses both the key issues and tracks the car since it is Thatcham S5 compliant

Thatcham Category S5 is for devices that provide post-theft vehicle tracking and Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR). ADR is a feature on premium tracking products that identifies approved drivers. These identifiers are usually small tags the driver keeps on their keys or on their person. Vehicle movement without a tag will automatically send an alert to the owner directly.

Can you take a Jazz without  having the keyfob?

[Jazzik]

Yes

But:

Can you take a Jazz without  having the keyfob?

I use the Stoplock, but I also keep the key in two Faraday bags, and they live in the microwave at the back of the house. That should stop any signal escaping to their devices. My 2nd key has the battery removed.

And all this effort and money, while it takes 3 or 4 seconds to simply turn of the reception off the key? 
Just read on the right side of page 169 of the manual:

If you do get a steering wheel locking device don't do what a friend of mine did

He got out of his Mazda and duly fitted the lock which just ratcheted shut over the steering wheel .......... then realised the key was still at home

What a bad design to not need the key to lock it


As per an above post, we know we can disable the key fobs with the 2 button trick but I didn't know till yesterday that a microwave oven is a faraday cage
Put a mobile phone inside a microwave, shut the door and try to ring it, then just open the microwave door and try again

[FMIB]

A microwave is all well and good as a faraday cage, up to the point that the wife forgets your keys are still in there and heats up a meal!

I learned this from Snwoden 

My "Faraday" cage (the older Smint boxes fit the fob quite snugly still allowing for some padding - the new ones still fit but are a bit longer, flater and wider):

Also quoted in preceding page is keyfob battery life of approx 2 years, I got a low key battery warning last week on the dash, 2 years and 1 month since new, battery change easy,
