Looking for something to lock up my teenagers car up for bad behavior have you used a thing like this? Is the car unable to drive?

I have the original Club and this twin hook club. The original club [which is easily defeated by sawing thru the steering wheel] I use on 1991 Ford Taurus SHO it fits fine you should turn the steering wheel far to the right and adjust it all the way down if it's an adjustable wheel, before applying the club. The twin hook club won't work on my 2005 Acura NSX or my 2008 Honda Civic Si because of the position of the steering wheel, the steering wheel itself and the relation ship of the windshield to the steering wheel. The NSX and the Civic's windshields are extremely "raked". I do think if this twin hook fits properly on your car, it should work because your kid unlike a car thief won't want to damage the car while trying to use it without permission. Also I think on you tube there was a guy who demonstrates how to pick this or the other model's lock. In conclusion if this unit fits properly and used properly and your kid doesn't want to damage the car trying to use it without permission or can pick locks it should work. Dan

reasonably so. Could be taken off if you really tried very hard and damaged the steering wheel.

Unless this thing was cut off car can't be driven. Club will not allow the driver to turn the wheel.

With the club 3000 u will not be able to drive unless they have the key to it. It will not allow the stearing wheel to turn while on.

What's your address . .and do you leave your car outside? One of us can come over and give you an up-close and personal demo . . . pretty sure it works . . ;have done a 'dry run' and think it has the power to get the job done, but, don't have a junk yard anywhere close by to 'try' it

Personally, I think it's genius. My Mom couldn't get my brother in from playtime. There were many, many avoidable "accidents." This would totally have worked.

Jeremy you are right. It needs some way to lock it closed when wrestling it into and out of your car. Mine flops open and hangs up every time. I'm going to try a cinch strap and I'm sure I will find something at the auto parts store but the manufacturer definitely dropped the ball here. Wake up NOVA!

No, you could not, which is why the child cannot remove it. In addition to my car keys I always kept a couple of popsicle sticks in the glove box. The reviews for all of the other types said the child got the guard off sooner or later.

Technically yes, the red part is like a key so you can take it out if you want and if you somewhat hide the location of the switch it would definitely be tough to steal. I have had friends try to move my car and they just thought the battery was dead until I showed them where to the switch was.

same here... you can get a locking type adapter from Lowes or Home Depot,... or tear off a small piece of plastic or tape and jam it into the damn thing... That's whaput a piece of plastic or tape over the but end of the bit and shove it in the driver...t

HI I did not use it i gave it a present to my mechanic who explaned to me that it takes extra work to mount it and he said it's not worth I ended up have him build me his special type of alarm..but this is what i got and I really like it its called Trimax TCL65 Wheel Chock Lock by Trimax. good luck!

No. You have to be prepared, say with popsicle sticks in the glove box. It's worth the trouble. This gadget keeps my autistic grandson from hurting himself or others and from distracting the driver, which was a real problem when he could unlock his seatbelt.

It can be a good tool to help monitor teen driving but sometimes it is just not all that accurate and can be easily disconnected. The answer to your question is maybe it would be helpful

You have two options, R/C (remotely controlled). While under R/C mode, kid can steer while you control gas/break. Other option is to turn off R/C mode and give full control to who's driving it, in this case the kid. While under this option, you cannot override anything with the controller. I honestly would not recommend this toy to anyone. The car is very weak, way under powered, even when fully charged. It barely moves at a slight incline. For the money paid, you would think it would be a bit more powerful.

If you happen to know the brand and model number of your current system. You might be able to find a compitable remote. In my 93 civic it had an old school alarm with 2 button remote but only 1 button operates the lock and unluck. Then found a compatible remote online that was for a newer model

I had the same problem. Used this unit as portable power during power outages, to charge phones etc., and it works fine for that. First time I tried jumping my car (with the unit fully charged) it didn't come close to turning over the engine. Jump-started the dead car from my other car with no problem, though. Yes, the power was switched on. Very disappointed that I can't keep it in the trunk and rely on it to get me out of a jam.

We bought a ( two actually) long strong cable combination lock and run it through the pair of grippers, since we have two on each side of our truck. this probably wouldn't deter a very determined thief, but we feel better having them locked up.

I bought this unit a few years ago and installed. I didn't have the range issues like other users here. Make sure you route the antenna as high up under the dash as possible. (The antenna is a thin wire, like the others.) Back to your question, however, you mentioned that your car did NOT come with remote door locks. I'm assuming it does have power locks. If so, this unit will work great. Bulldog even sells harness kits if you don't feel comfortable cutting, splicing, and soldering ignition wires under your dashboard.

Watch a YouTube video first, or Google a photo of it installed in your type of car.it worked in my car,and I have what you would describe as "side movement style"locks
