Can this lock be used while attached to vehicle, or is it only for storage purposes?

This is for use while unhitched and parked. There are few locks that are more than a deterrent to those who would like to make a fast 'get away' because most can be overcome in one way or another (good sledge hammer, pry bar, etc.) if one is determined to get them off! This one does a descent job, but I had to add a piece of steel plate cut in a 'U' and attach on the flat surface of the lock around the 'ball' piece. This tightened up the loose fit this had on my coupler and made the lock bar over the top very tight. Less wiggle and give to get a pry bar under.

Yes. You can vary the arms and secure it inside the vehicle. I just leave it outside. It has security lock for both the rack and the bike. VERY NEATLY DESIGNED.

Not really, as long as you lock it. you can latch it closed and then there is a switch to actually lock it.

If you want to lock up the front when you will definitely need another cable. I've been able to lock both my frame and rear wheel together with this lock.

No. The only purpose for the lock is to keep the door from being opened (either accidentally or anti-theft).

Yes it can lock. You also have the option of removing the internal locking mechanism.

No. Get one that locks. I had mine almost stolen. Good thing we parked close to wherey kids were playing and one of them saw somone trying to take the cargo carrier off my jeep.

I use my cable lock and thread it through the top handle and rear strap of the Trunk Bag and then under my seat to keep my bag and seat from being removed. The bag itself fits fairly snuggly on the rack, so it isn't something that a thief can remove quickly in any event.

No, it is not capable of doing that. It must be used just as shown when detached from a hitch. If you are wanting to lock it as you described, you will need a cleavis latch lock to do that or a padlock will work too. I prefer a dog bone style lock that does not have an exposed shackle. You may also consider securing your hitch to your receiver. There are locks for that as well. I hope this helps.

This item can be stored flat or upright. It is important to have the lock in place for security.

No, there are no locks. You would have to use your own bike lock to keep it from "wandering off" while you were away from your vehicle.

Yes,if you're using Bungee cords or possibly a mini-chain lock.Personally,i would suggest the former like which i've done.

Mine is now in the boat in storage so I can't look at it, but I doubt it. You would need three locks and they would be easily broken off, I suspect.

This cover does not lock. You pull it out like a window shade and slides into slots on both sides. There is about a 2 inch gap between the back seats and where the cover starts - apparently some back seats recline requiring this space so there is limited visibility in that 2 inch space unless you cover the front edge of your cargo or modify the cover. My mechanic said most are designed like that due to the reclining seats. This is a deterrent, not secure if someone gains entry to the vehicle.

You can only lock it from the outside with the key, but that defeats the purpose of the digital lock doesn't it. You have to turn the lock before you go out, or open the door and turn it. I can only guess that there is alarm system involved here.

I do not think this lock would be enough. I would also install a secondary lock. This is a nice unit, but not secure enough for your intended use.

Correction on my previous comment: It is not intended for mounting in a vehicle.
