Hi, what lock did you choose? I recently got a Brezza ZXI+ AT and I'm in same boat as you were looking for a reliable lock.

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.

When I park at not so safe places, I carry some fuses/relays with me. Mostly it's the fuel pump and/or starter motor related.

Hi, Has anyone tried to remove ignition switch as anti theft measure in new Brezza? Is this a right method to prevent theft? There are two ignition switches one rated at 40A and other at 50A.Fuse puller given in fuse box looks smaller to pull them. Is it necessary to remove both fuses to prevent the car from starting?

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

hi Guys, just curious - wont this void the warranty ? Also, how will you get access to your own car, if that switch is turned off?

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

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.

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.

is faraday pouch mentioned in your video available in India? If any reference, pls share. I tried but could not find. Is aluminium foil a local jugad? :)

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.
