I installed it on a 2013 Dodge dart with cable locks. The screws that come with the clamps are not long enough to hold the cable. I got some others screws and the kit works great!

These locks work fine just wasn't strong enough for my '08 jeep wrangler.. I ended up buying the install essentials 524 kit.

Oops... I did the same thing. This is a dumb device - with a mechanical memory - only knowing 1 combination. I ended up cutting the cable. - Good news, it's a good lock - it was difficult to cut. I replaced with a number lock - I can remember -better. Sorry, Jim

All I had to do for my 2008 Mustang was to insert the key and turn it on (but just before it starts the engine) and off 8 times fast. On the 8th turn the door locks will lock and you then use the FOB to open the locks. If you tried this already, did your passenger doors unlock, even though you could not get your rear hatch to open? All the locks should be connected.

The cable might be loose inside the panels. Remove licence plate and cover. Need a special tool to remove latch. Hard to find. Made one myself. Its a ?shape with top pointing straight insted of down. Hope this helps

I have a 2013 Dual Cab Long Bed Tacoma and it installed easily with plenty of length cable to spare. I routed it to the passenger side locks instead of the drivers side locks as suggested in the instructions.

Yes buy the hitch lock and cable form Hollywood. Reasonable price and if bought together same key

Personally I wouldn't be concerned with someone wanting to steal a bike rack because they wouldn't assume it fit their car unless it was the exact same car as yours. But yes, I feel that the lock is secure, it only locks one set of the cables, I suppose someone could cut the cables but then the rack would be completely useless. If you wanted to store it inside your car it would fit in the back seat of a sedan without any problems. The dimensions might make it difficult to put it inside some trunks. We've taken week long trips across several states, staying at hotels and never worried about the security of the rack but would take the bikes inside overnight.

I tried both of these locks. They don't fit. Anyone have recommendations that work? Love the case, by the way.

Sabrina, while you didn't say what year your Mazda was, I have to assume the Mazda 2.0 is the same as the ZTEC Fords, and the service set comes with instructions. If you've got the valve cover off, check for a groove at the back end of the camshafts as this is where the bar part of the set inserts to lock the cams in position - I'd say that would be a dead giveaway. OTCs website is really difficult to get info from, but I think this tool is what you're after.

The size "12X1.5mm" fits the Mazda3. I do not know what size fits your car. You should look up the size of your stock lug nuts for your specific car and then shop to see if McGard makes that size.

I do not have the lock mentioned, but the cable looks to be rather small in diameter, I would think it would fit through the lock hole.

The guys at my motorcycle shop told me to wait and they put the locks on for me. I have since bought more lock and ride stuff with no problem putting them on. Like two gas can holders and a cooler holder for the top of my cargo trunk. Put the locks together stick them threw the holes and lock them down. I hope this helps

If there is no chip and your car needs a chip, the key won't work. You might consult a Mazda dealer. I bought a key with a chip on Amazon, but I had to go to the dealer to get the key programed to work in my car.

I googled it for my 2006 Mazda 3i and a video came up of some guy installing it step by step through his dash. It looked fairly simple. He was in another country I think but explained it perfectly. I just haven't had the time to install mine yet lol. Hope this helps you!

I personally contacted a lock smith, it was cheaper than the dealer. Hope that helped.

no, it didn't; mazda dealer warned me it might not and it didn't; wasted time and money having them try to program it; not sure if the Dealer was on the level, or why this key couldn't be programmed, but it didn't work out for me
