Bought for security but caught my 17 year old taking the car at 2am when he was supposed to be sleeping. Could see exactly where he went and when he got back. Different use than intended but works brilliant for keeping tabs on the family car. He still has no idea how we knew!
Samsung user here. Was worried about compatibility but it connected instantly to SmartThings Find. No extra apps needed, no accounts to create. Just paired like Bluetooth headphones. Can check location from phone, tablet, even computer. Works just as well as Apple products. Perfect integration.
Been 5 months and still at 60% battery. I check my car location maybe twice a week just for peace of mind. The battery life is incredible considering how small this thing is. Charges in 2 hours when you finally need to. No wiring, no professional installation, just magnetic attachment and done.
I'm not technical at all. Thought I'd need help installing this. Nope. Literally stick it under your car with the magnets and done. Took longer to unbox it than install it. My elderly parents did theirs themselves too. If they can do it, anyone can. No tools, no wiring, nothing.
Size of a matchbox is not an exaggeration. It's genuinely tiny. Hidden one in my car and another in wife's car. Even told my mechanic about it and he couldn't find it when servicing. The magnets are insanely strong too. Tested at highway speeds and through car washes. Still exactly where I put it.
Got teenage drivers in the house and this gives me peace without being helicopter parent. Can see when they arrive at school, work, friends houses safely. They have no idea it's there. Gives me peace of mind without the constant texting asking where they are. Every parent of teens needs this.
Works seamlessly with iPhone Find My app. No extra apps to download, no accounts to create, no monthly subscriptions. Just pairs like AirPods and you're done. Can check from phone, iPad, even MacBook. The integration is flawless. Already helped me find my car in a massive parking lot twice.
Brisbane car crime is absolutely insane right now. This lock is the only defense that actually works. Already prevented two attempts (both on camera). Queensland essential purchase right now. Don't wait for someone else to fix the problem. Don't wait until you're a victim. Take action now. This lock is your action.
Can't believe I need a steering wheel lock in 2024 but here we are. My car has keyless entry and push button start and basically an invitation for thieves these days. They can clone your key signal from outside your house and drive away without ever touching your actual keys. This old-school solution actually works better than all the high-tech security. Thieves want the easy targets, not the ones with visible locks that'll take time and make noise to defeat. Been using for 6 months, zero issues, car still mine! Meanwhile three other push-button cars in my apartment complex have been stolen. The irony of using 1990s technology to protect my 2023 car isn't lost on me, but it works.
My work carpark tells the whole story: every car with these locks still there after 6 months. Three cars without them stolen in the past month alone. That's all the proof you need. The pattern is so obvious that security now recommends these to everyone. Don't gamble with statistics. Protect your car.
Three months ago, our street in Whittlesea had five cars stolen in one week. FIVE. My neighbor's brand new car was gone when he woke up. The couple across the road had their car taken from their own driveway at 3am. I was checking my window every hour, every night. Couldn't sleep properly for weeks. The anxiety was killing me. Every noise outside had me jumping up, checking the driveway, making sure my car was still there. My wife was getting frustrated with me, but I couldn't help it. The fear was real. Then the local cop doing door-knocks mentioned steering wheel locks. Said they're seeing thieves literally walk away when they spot them. That same night, I ordered this Anti-Apex lock. When it arrived, first thing I noticed was how properly solid it is. This isn't some toy from the reject shop. It's heavy and well-made, the kind of thing that means business. The red color is bright as hell, you can see it from across the street. Takes me maybe 15 seconds to put on. Just loop through the wheel, click into the seatbelt, done. Key turns smooth to lock it. Been using it religiously for two months now. Here's what's changed: I sleep. Actually sleep. Not jumping at every noise outside. My marriage is better because I'm not a paranoid mess. Three more thefts on our street since I got this. Every single one was cars without visible locks. Last week, caught someone on my doorbell camera at 2am checking out my car, saw the red lock through the window, literally shook their head and walked off to check the neighbor's car instead. That footage alone made this worth every cent. My insurance company actually noted it when I sent them photos and said it shows I'm taking reasonable precautions. The peace of mind alone is worth ten times what I paid. My wife doesn't stress when she has to park at Westfield Plenty Valley anymore. We don't argue about who forgot to bring the car keys inside. We just lock it and sleep. If you're in Melbourne right now without one of these, you're gambling. Casey, Hume, Whittlesea are all getting hammered. 73% increase in thefts. This lock changed everything for us. Before this, I was considering selling the car and just using public transport because the stress was too much. Now? I park anywhere with confidence. Night shifts, dodgy areas, shopping centers, doesn't matter. The lock goes on, I walk away, car's there when I get back. Absolutely recommend. Don't wait until you're a victim.
Uni student, can't afford comprehensive insurance. They wanted $3500 a year! Are they having a laugh? This lock is my insurance. Cost me $50 once instead of $3500 every year. Already deterred one attempted theft (saw them try on the uni security cameras). Fifty bucks to protect my only way to get to uni and work? Absolute bargain. Every student should have one instead of getting ripped off by insurance companies.
Park at Westfield Parra for work daily. Carpark is notorious for thefts. Everyone knows it's bad there. This lock has kept my car safe for 8 months while others get hit weekly. Security guards actually recommend these to people now after seeing how effective they are. They've noticed the pattern too. Locked cars don't get stolen. I've become a bit of an evangelist for these locks. Told all my coworkers, most have bought them now. Our section of the carpark is like a red lock convention. And guess what? None of our cars have been touched. Meanwhile, other sections are getting hit constantly. Westfield should honestly sell them at customer service! Would save so much heartache.
Bought this after my comprehensive quote came back at $3200 a year. Yeah, nah. That's more than I spend on fuel! Decided to go with third party and get this lock instead. Best decision ever. Sent photos to my insurer with this lock installed during my renewal, and they actually REDUCED my premium by $180. They said it shows I'm taking active security measures. The lock paid for itself twice over just in insurance savings. Plus haven't had any attempts on my car while three others on my street weren't so lucky. One was my mate's Hilux, gone at 3am on a Tuesday. The thieves are getting bold. But they're also lazy. They see this bright red lock and move on to easier targets. Brilliant product that actually works.
18 years old, first car, worked weekends at Bunnings to buy it. Insurance quotes were more than car's worth. They wanted $4000 for a $3000 car! This lock is my insurance. Already deterred theft at TAFE carpark (security showed me the footage). Every young driver should get one, protect your freedom and independence for fifty bucks. My mates all getting them now after seeing how well it works.
My car has $30k in disability modifications. Wheelchair hoist, hand controls, special seating. Insurance only covers base vehicle value, not the modifications. If my car gets stolen, I'm out tens of thousands. This lock protects what insurance won't. Easy to use even with limited mobility, gives me independence knowing my transport is secure. Should be funded for all disability vehicles honestly. We're vulnerable enough without losing our specially modified transport.
Support worker visiting clients in rough areas at all hours. This lock keeps my car safe while I help others. Quick to use between appointments, reliable protection that never fails. Every support worker needs one. We go where we're needed, not where it's safe. This lock is our protection.
Six months daily use on construction sites. Lock still works perfectly, no rust despite leaving it in the ute tray in all weather. The coating hasn't worn off, mechanism still smooth. Stops opportunistic thieves who cruise building sites looking for tools and vehicles. Every tradie should have one. We're massive targets. Protects the ute AND the tools inside which are worth more than the vehicle half the time.
I'm a mechanic and I see stolen recovered vehicles all the time. The damage thieves do just joyriding is insane. Blown engines, destroyed clutches, trashed interiors. This simple lock prevents all that damage. Better than any alarm or immobilizer because they can SEE it before they even try. Visual deterrent is key. Recommend to all my customers now. Already saved three customers from theft. They all had these locks and attempts failed.
Commodores are getting flogged left and right. 92% increase in VF thefts according to the news. This lock is essential if you own a Holden. Fits perfectly around the wheel, takes seconds to install, and most importantly. It works. Still got my Commodore while three others in my area are gone. The Facebook Commodore groups are full of theft stories, but not from anyone using these locks. Don't become another statistic in the groups.
Drive both Uber and DiDi. Passengers actually comment they feel safer seeing security lock which shows I'm professional and careful. Some even tip better! Protects my income and improves my ratings. Every rideshare driver should have one. It's a business expense that pays for itself in customer confidence. Plus, you know, keeps the car from being stolen which would end my income instantly.
Drive Uber Black, dealing with drunk passengers and late night pickups. Passengers actually compliment the security consciousness which shows I'm professional and careful. Some even mention it in reviews! Plus protects my income source. Every rideshare driver needs this. It's a business expense that pays for itself in customer confidence and actual protection.
Toyota knows their keyless entry is vulnerable but won't fix it because class action lawsuits prove it. This lock is the security Toyota should have included. Every RAV4, Hilux, and Landcruiser owner needs this. Don't wait for Toyota to act. They won't. Protect yourself now. Already prevented one theft at my gym. Toyota should be paying for these for all their customers given their security failures.
Logan area is getting smashed with thefts right now. This lock has been perfect for the past 4 months I've been using it. Easy to use even in the rain, visible deterrent that actually works, gives me peace of mind every night. Especially good for shopping center carparks where most thefts happen. I've watched the local Facebook groups. Every day another stolen car post. But never from someone with a steering lock. The pattern is obvious. Highly recommend to anyone in Brisbane dealing with this crime wave.
Western Sydney is copping it hard with car thefts right now. This lock has been a game changer for the past 3 months. Quick to install, impossible to miss with that bright red color, and actually works unlike car alarms that everyone ignores. Neighbor without one lost their car last week and broad daylight from their own driveway. Mine's still here because thieves see the lock and keep walking. Enough said.
