No, i just use a Faraday pouch for the fob when not in use. These days is rare to get a vehicle stolen without the key or a tow truck. However, there are ways to clone your key if they capture the fob rf with an antenna so the Faraday pouches (like 10 bucks on Amazon) prevent that.

I have a switch on my tj from Off road only that is really cool, but the tj had no chip in the key and was super simple to steal im sure compared.

The jl is so complex (electronics wise) id hate to add in much more to its overly sensitive system. I did add an after market remote start, but that's it. Tazer jl has a pin code with steering wheel buttons you can set before your can start your jeep, but i think i heard all the thief has to do is unplug it if they realize you have the tazer. Still if you already own one, why not use it.

Looks very interesting. And you can use any toggle switch, located (hidden)anywhere. I might try one In combination with hood locks.

I'm pretty sure they no longer need your key.

I use a faraday box at home but I was thinking this might also help and be useful when parked at stores and what not.

Mine’s behind a gate and in a garage, my house is steel frame so it’s a big faraday cage. Since my 392 is likely in demand, I’m concerned when I go out or leave it at a trail head to hike. This product looks like it could slow them down a little.

They need to get the code from your key, not the key itself. They can do this by just getting close. I've seen surveillance video where they stretch out a large loop type antenna at somebody's front door, then start the car in the drive.

There isn't really any "hot wiring" of newer cars... unless you have a Kia (which was actually easier than that).

A lot of jeeps have really great theft deterrent systems built in- manual transmissions, aux batteries, and then there is death wobble. Try getting past those!

Seriously though, if somebody truly wants to steal your jeep, they will. Hard to stop a tow truck. Id invest in a tracker over a kill switch. A cheap apple airtag, speaker removed, hidden in the vehicle will buy some time if it does get taken.

Nothing wrong with an extra deterrent. Apple Air Tag is a nice cheap investment too.

Looks like it would be one layer of protection.
I have 5 layers of protection so they must get past all 5.
I just installed the Drone Mobile x1max-lte (hard wired). It can track via GPS location, motion, glass breakage and tilt/towing and has its own battery back up. Alarms are sent to my phone telling me what type of alarm has been triggered.

Thieves can program a new 'Key' and drive away!! Mine was stolen just before Xmas from a hotel, they didn't use a tow, video showed them pick the lock, get in then shortly after drive away.

I'm pretty sure they no longer need your key.

Check out this video, go to the 6:50 mark to skip the chatter and watch how quickly the guy is in and programs the new 'Key'.

This is why I have 5 layers of protection.
Looks like I need to remove the door key locks also.

 

[Mrjimmystewart]

Maybe it’s time to resurrect my old club steering wheel lock

Ya it is crazy, I would hope all of your layers would be enough to get thieves to give up.

Haha it takes about the same time to put that on as it does for the thieves to take them off apparently!

 

[Mrjimmystewart]

Maybe since no one uses the club anymore, the thieves no longer carry the removal tools.
