If you can get someone coming from abroad to get you Club Twin, Tevlaphee or Disklok, you should definitely get one of those. Else Yarich is the best i thought.

can you pls help to check if I'm doing this right?

According to the SA of Hyundai, it will, if they find the switch

Accessing the car won't be a problem, you are not locking your car shut with the switch, just the ignition won’t come on. Imagine installing another switch between your mains and your MCB in your house, till you turn it on, MCB would not get power.

Re: ARTICLE: How to protect your car from THEFT

Can any expert update this thread with links to currently available options like steering locks that are good? And also include details about Farady box, RFID shielding key pouch and their usefulness.
A section on telematics and how to use them securely and prevent hacking would also be good as most cars are coming with these. If there are posts about these elsewhere kindly point me to them. Thanks.

I just happened to have come here to this post after I saw the following video. As for me I rely on mechanical steering lock which I used for my left hand steering of my Mercedes in California more than 2 decades back. I still use the same for my Jimny now with push start button system. At least the thief would skip my car because it is so glaringly visible and nobody wants to mess around with the mechanical lock.

I am not sure if it works but many companies are selling on Amazon India. May be try at some car accessories shop and check if it works before paying money.
