Autolock pro brake

[Lnchmny]

Hi all.
Just had a question about the autolock pro brake. I will be getting my 300c SRT8 this Thur or Fri, and I wanted to know if it's worth it to have a autolock pro brake. Do they really work, or are they a waste of money?
Also the car will be equipped with a Lojack.
And do anyone know how many 300c SRT8 Chrysler is planning on building?

Uh, a waste of money. We have a chip key and the car won't start without it. For the illusion of "security" you can throw an unlocked Club on the wheel, no point in locking it, a pro will simply cut the wheel. With any of these contraptions, an SRT8 will likely be hoisted on a truck and carted off. I use a Club when I travel just to give the juviniles pause since most don't have wheel cutters, not for any real theft deterrence from even a semi pro. The chip key should stop all comers except the hoisters. As I understand it, Lojack is superb.

I use one in my 94 Vert (no chip in the key or anything else) - peace of mind with the top down. The autolock can't be seen and that's why I like it.
Nothing like a POS club scratching up your wheel saying COME STEAL ME, my owner thinks I'm worth a club! The only cars I see with the Club anymore and cars no one would steal if you left the door open and the keys in it.


If a pro wanted it, it wouldn't matter what you do - Lojack can at least track it.

BTW II kings, where do you get a chip key?

The chip key is factory, we all have this at least on the C. I had a spare made up to unlock the door in case I lose my key on a trip and I keep my factory spare key in the trunk. The spare copy starts the car and it runs for about 2 seconds and shuts off, it then will not restart with the copied key.
