How to Protect your Mopar! These suggestions could save your car! Must watch.. 

I'd use a kill switch over Carlock any day of the week. Get the RF Lockout. It's free at Dodge. Locks your car to YOUR two key fobs only. For those that don't know, your car comes with 4 key slots. 2 of them are assigned to your fobs, the other 2 are left "blank" in case you lose your fobs. Problem is, thieves can program a new key with those 2 open slots. It's quick and easy for them to do. Don't let them, get those two slots locked out. Now that your car is locked to your ONLY your fobs, keep them in a faraday pouch at all times (except while driving of course). Don't let your signal get hijacked like Racer said. Get that steel box that covers the neutral strap and mount it with security screws. Get a newer model club, not the old one that only requires one cut to remove. The newer ones require four cuts to take off. Top it off with a brake pedal lock. Have good insurance and if you're still paying it off, get gap insurance as well. It's only a vehicle and not worth your life.

Great anti theft device for carjackers made by Glock, Smith & Wesson, Ruger. You can even get different sizes 9mm, 40 cal, 45 cal, .357 Magnum .38 special etc. works pretty good for home defense to 😁

I live in Satellite Beach Florida. I have a 2012 Challenger V6. I literally caught a guy who was able unlock my door lock, but due to the door handles being a little messed up where when you go to open either door, you need to pull on the handle multiple times. The thief was trying to figure out how to open the door when I walked up to him. I conceal carry. So needless to say the thief got real polite real quick.

I don’t leave my scat anywhere unattended. Hope the situation never arises but I always conceal carry. -Peace out.

I was looking at at 6.4 SRT8 Challenger before I got my 2018 Mustang GT and this is why I decided against the Challenger. The fact that you have to jump through so many hoops to secure it and have to have eyes on the back of your head just to avoid getting it jacked, is exactly why I stayed with the Mustang. I still carry a handgun anyway, but I haven't had a single issue yet and luckily haven't had to use that gun. Unfortunately for carjackers, I'm not only a good driver, but an even better marksman. So... FAFO....

My car was stolen 3 days ago Tuesday morning 2:50am in the morning. That morning 7 Mopars were stolen along with mine, luckily I tracked mine with a $30 Samsung tracker. You can buy multiple and hide them all over the car.

I think the perfect set up is a killswitch for the fuel pump, a pin code security system, a GPS tracker and the neutral tab cover

Lol. Nobody is going to say it, but I will. I am a Black man that owns a 2021 Charger Scat. I have ALWAYS owned muscle cars for the last 20-25 years. Mustang, Chargers, Trans Am etc. I once had a 2007 SRT8 Charger. Nobody was stealing the previous model chargers and challenges. These cars became popular for thieves when all of these rappers started putting them in their videos. Look at the timeline if you don't believe me. The Mopar is the new Thugs Ferrari/Lamborghini. It became a trend. Once these rappers started having them all over and in their videos, you tube, Instagram etc. Thugs also discovered that the parts are $$$. People in VA have been pulled over in Mopars that also have had removed VINS or changed plates. Everyone else wanted one or they would take yours. Sad but true.

But the real problem is after thousands of dollars in damages and multiple inconvenient problems for the owners, when caught the scum bags get little if any punishment

I only have a v6, but most of these methods apply to all mopars I've found. I have the neutral pull cover from Destroyer1320, a steering wheel lock which is universal for all cars (highly suggest getting one), and a key fob protector in the event that I'm hanging around my car and not paying attention. I also turned off passive entry so you have to unlock the car via the fob. Those are basically all the anti-theft mods I have and they've served me well.

Thanks for posting. My 2015 SRT392 is a 6-speed. On one hand, not everyone can drive a manual. On the other hand, putting it in "neutral" is as easy as depressing the clutch pedal.

Just got my SPWB Challenger back from window tint and someone at the shop took my garage door opener! Of course they said nobody took it. Had to change the code on all my openers. I’m sure they’re coming to get my car some day, so cameras (and other things) are going up!

I already have the Destroyer 1320 neutral lock out plate for my scat, it's not even been scheduled to be built yet 👍

They either try to clone your fob via an app or they just jump in it and drive off/onto a trailer. Friend of mine's Camaro got stolen during the lock-down covid times. Basically, he just walked to the end of his road (about 1/4 mile) and there it was doors opened in the bushes. They found out the limit on distance without a key fob lol Tech tip: Drive a car with a kill-switch (DONT SHOW/TELL ANYONE!!) with Carburetor, manual transmission, preferably 3 on the tree. Or just keep your doors and garage shut/locked and your 12-gauge loaded?

Great video X. I have car lock on my scat, I love it. Also the neutral switch cover and a cover over the o b d port. Only thing missing is a Doberman. Thanks for the video. Car lock is worth the time and money.

I think enhanced security mode was released and already recalled (not stable) last year. it was basically backpacking on the valet mode...essentially enhanced/dead valet mode. I'm looking at the tazer for pin and carjack mode features in addition to all the others you mentioned. Sad we have to take these precautions and forecast the environments we'll be driving and parking in.

3 real kill switches and a few. Fake ones. Someone (I apologize I forgot his username) had a great idea with a relay to ground on the fuel pump. It’s accessible by removing the rear seat. The wiring in a stun gun to bare wire in the driver seat is a good one too. Takes too long to figure out and 1 million volts to the nuts is also a great deterrent.

Got to kill the fuel pump, find the fuse or run a hidden switch somewhere inside, but that's your best bet, if it doesn't start it isn't going anywhere..

I’m from the treasure coast of FL and have a local performance shop that installed the Igla system and it’s amazing. It is something that’s soldered into your harness but prevents the car from turning on or even to be put in drive (with remote start) unless you enter the steering wheel passcode. That accompanied with a brake release cover really gave me peace of mind. Also debadged my hellcat too so any little bit helps. Ccw for anything event outside of the house too

Ok here is what I have on my 2016 Dodge Challenger Shaker. 2 kill switches, one is done manually and the other one is done by two step process when I go out somewhere. Alarm that tracks my car and a train horn that when it goes off you can hear it from good long distance. Apple tag, destroyer 1320 plate with bolts that can only be removed by a specific tool. Trying to get a removable steering wheel which I have not had any luck. Maybe it can’t be done. It’s cheaper to keep her then buying another one. Oh yeah will put other deterrent mods very soon.

Excellent content as always keep up the great videos … minus the Buckeyes shirt!

I use a CYCLOPS anti theft system on my vehicles, it’s a starter or fuel pump relay that replaces the original relay and uses a key fab to activate it, I’ve had it for over a year now and works great, about $150.00 , it may not stop them but will definitely slow them down

Always invest in security for your investments! If you can afford an exhaust, fancy intakes and whatnot, you can invest in security. All those upgrades mean nothing if you wake up to the car being gone. Great video, very appreciated. I wish more people would take heed to information like this. For something like a Hellcat, security should be day 1. Day 2 should be extra tires.😎

Aside from the neutral block off plate I'm also using a Ravelco System. I'm kind of surprised you didn't me nation that one. Regarding the Dodge factory system, Its not good. A technician at the dealership I use for servicing my car said he did all that stuff you mention as it was available to Mopar employees first. You guessed it, his car was stolen anyway!

IGLA system is the best antifheft system. It connects into your main computer and harness. They cannot bypass it even if they hack your key fob code. I installed it in my Ram TRX and sleep much better at night

A good old fashioned "kill switch"

On my 2014 I have the key auto open set to off, and use an rfid blocker pouch.

My Scat Pack was stolen out of my driveway the day after Christmas.

Yes Get a CCW.... It's a great deterrent believe me...... Great video that's all great advice man it's getting tough out there.

Maybe they could make something where you pull up on that little neutral bar and it locks the doors and sends poison gas inside the car🤔

I am putting a club one of the newer ones that goes over the horn so if they try to remove it is going to make noise and it’s going to take them time to remove it and I am putting the ring car cam so I’ll be notified that this motion or someone’s in the car or around it, and they better hope they’re faster than me because I’ll be coming running with my gun.

Maybe if we would stop playing nice all around everyone and get back to cutting hands off to convicted thieves we might teach them to think twice before stealing something? Just saying...

Excellent video Bro. Thanks for doing it. One thing I do is I put the Club on my Mustang GT every night when I'm done for the day. I also pull a couple of choice fuses from under the hood, like for the fuses for Fuel Relay and Starter when I plan on leaving town for a few days. It also helps that my Mustang is a manual. My theory is that the Mopars are being targeted is because they are going away. If someone has a better theory, I would love to know what it is. I mean, the Camaro SS and Mustang GT are both also American Muscle and are just as fast and, in some cases, faster than the Scat Packs and they don't seem to be as targeted. I don't hear about Corvettes being excessively targeted either. If someone can explain why without being a condescending jerk about it, I would like to know.

Just got a scat pack and have been looking for something thank you

Keep your Mopar from being stolen, paint it pink

Add a hood lock and a remote kill switch. Relocate your odb port and replace it with a fake wired all hot to your battery no fuse. Hopefully it blows their device. You can also lock your brakes so they will need a tow truck. Move or add an additional horn for the alarm, hopefully aftermarket alarm . The best way to defeat tech is with old school tricks. Nobody has been able to take mine.

Wouldn't an Igla pin code system be better to prevent a car from being driven away? While Car Lock is mainly for notifications & recovery after theft?

You can wrap your key FOB in aluminum foil.

Seen a few videos now showing quite a few ways to protect them. After Market alarm systems along with other hacks like the starter switches, plates to block the neutral pull switch etc.

NAH! Dodge need to just fix their system from the factory we SHOULDNT have to buy aftermarket gadgets like come tf on. I just got my stolen and recovered it but it’s totaled.

My 2018 Scat Pack was stolen a few months ago in Houston from the Cypress park-and-ride garage. The thief broke the driver's side window and then apparently programmed a duplicate key. These key programmers are available on Amazon for less than $100. I did get it back - because I had tossed an Apple air tag into the trunk I was able to direct the cops to it. There was a high speed chase and they apparently eventually stopped it with a spike strip (I assume so as all four tires were ruined). One $500 deductible and $8000 covered by Liberty Mutual and my car is good as new. Dodge can turn off the key-programming feature and I had them do so, Northwest Dodge charged me $179 to do this; I thought they should have done it for free. I also started using The Club so hopefully they won't break the glass before finding out they can't program themselves a key. Of course The Club can be defeated but I think all that's important is to make your car less convenient to steal than the next guy's. Thanks for the video Racer X!

Sorry but that car lock gonna get annoying and your gonna end up turning it off The best thing you can do is get full coverage insurance then put your car in the garage and get a club or make a kill switch

Wow I’ve seen car lock EVERYWHERE… ADVERTISED CONTINUOUSLY.. lol I already bought mine 2 days ago..Mustang gt 🔥😂

How do I know I have the latest update on my challenger?

I have a challenger a charger and a Jeep all Mopar I take all my remotes and put them in the microwave at night I learn that from That other awesome Mopar guy OC motivator

No one thought about just blocking your car in with another car

Could you also cut off the red neutral release cord and add a hose clamp or heavy duty zip ties to the neutral release in addition to the neutral release cover to add extra obstacles for the auto thieves? What about adding the IGLA PIN code system, Compustar alarm and Drone cellphone notifications? Adding hidden AirTags with the AirTag speaker removed modification would be back up tracking. There’s the modification to the AirTag to remove the speaker so the criminals can’t use the AirTag sound to locate the AirTags. Use a few AirTags, not just one AirTag. How about an alarm system powered by independent batteries that makes the sound level inside the car so loud that only a deaf person could tolerate being in the car?

I was not aware of this initially but the Durango also has the Neutral pull but no plates have been released yet to cover it.

I bought a 15’ Challenger R/T back in August but I low key live in the ghetto in an apartment so no garage so I do worry all the time

Those of us who own or will own the TRX or Rebels, thieves are hooking the horn wire, disconnecting it, thereby eliminating the noise. There are “old school” techniques like RAVELCO. New technology like IGLA or COMPUSTAR. These can even be layered for added protection. In addition, relocating the horn wiring is another great idea. Now that Ram has closed the order books for the remainder of the 2023MY, I am sure this doesn’t bode well for Ram truck owners.😢

My cars getting a kill switch for sure

I pull the Fuel Pump fuse and take it with me.

Hello, I discovered the other day that valet mode I believe is useless. I set in went into the store forgot and was driving down the road when I realized the display looked weird. Then I remembered valet mode was on. It's not very helpful if I can drive down the road 40 mph with 3 horsepower??? Oh boy so they can drive away at 40 instead of 80? Very disappointed.

I seen a video where they cut the wheel to get the club off.

Very informative video. Thanks again.

Go Buckeyes!

I’ve been using a faraday pouch for months and now it seems like it only works half the time. The other day I walked up to my car forgetting to take my fob out of the pouch and I was able to straight up open it and start it even though it was in the pouch. It has started to fail. Maybe I need to get a new one every few months??

Where can I get the neutral pull cover?????

Awesome content buddy 👍💪

It could be because the hemi V-8 engine is being discontinued- we had our track hawk stolen 😡 a few months ago

Thank you sir good content

Thanks for the info

I dont think he is going to have any problem in that neighborhood.

Unless you’re holding your own 9 mil! 😂 = 1 less car jacker to worry about!

Is CarLock only available on Amazon ?🤦🏽‍♂️🙏🏽

I take it the manual cars not as prone to theft?

HAHA I built a v6 awd Charger!!! NO Thief will want my ride! 😂

the notebook gets me everytime lol

The Carlock alarm seems redundant if you already have a good car alarm. Why would anyone design a security device that plugs into the OBD2 port anyway? It is the very place where thieves plug in their tablet to get the data to clone a new key. People get so many different notifications on their apps throughout the day, it's very likely they will miss it.

Forgot the kill switch best old school deturent

Thanks!

Love the shirt👍🏾🌰

Add that kill switch

They are cutting the steering wheel to get around those type of locks. Kill switch are the best anti theft deterrent

Where did you get that neutral plate blocker ?

How far back does the update go I have a Phantom Black 2015 manual Hellcat?

So are these anti-theft features on the 2023 models by default - or not?

I just pull the Fuel Pump relay 54 Cost Zero.

I suggest keeping a Chihuahua in the car at all times.

Multiple kill switches

I don’t think anyone will steal that Hello Kitty Hellcat.😂

That Ohio State shirt is beautiful

Your OPD port is for analyzing problems with your car. Having something installed in that port all the time I would think could cause you serious issues.

I have removed the steering wheel lock very easily with a simple hammer and pulling it into position when I worked at a dealership.

What do you think of LoJack?

🏆Racer X 🏆You're the man 🍀got R done 😎✌️

Hey @racerx why not recommend full alarm system with drone mobile instead of Carlock? My problem with carlock is no sirens or alarm to deter.

Pincode system, kill switch and gps tracking you should be fine

Is a manual transmission a deterrent for car thieves?

What’s everyone thoughts on the SWAT KARR that they got you to buy at the dealership? I’m not so sure if I want to renew the subscription or not, after reading reviews.

Smart thieves like them because they can move the parts & the stupid thieves like them because its cool to drive around in & they have a good chance of getting away from the cops!

Your car doesn’t go to 3hp when in Valet mode with the update.

Do you no longer own your scat pack and hell cat?

Obd2 gps sucks bad idea a hardwire gps is much better

454mag so I have 454 reason why the Cemetery will be real busy

I’ve found a battery kill switch on Amazon that comes with a fob. Also a 60 dollar neutral plate cover that you have to drill. What other accessories are out there to help prevent theft ? Might make a video soon

Paint it PINK

Why would you paint a car the same color as pepto Bismal...really ugly

Can’t they just unscrew the first one for the neutral pull?

Hello Mr.Racer X. Does this car lock work with the 2018 Scatpack which has the port under the steering wheel locked or do I have to get the bypass for the trunk in order to run the car lock?
