The Mobilistics looks interesting. For me the downside is I would not be able to use the Chevy app to remote start the car. I have the Soler Throttle Controller which has the throttle lock feature. Yes the car can be started. But at the same time they would be starting a very loud car which would attract attention. Unless I was parked in a remote place which I never do.
I do use one of those heavy duty clubs. Yes I know it can be removed, but it does add time to someone looking to ****** and grab the car.

Have you considered that the thieves already know about this device and they carry replacement parts that take all of 30 seconds to replace?

Thanks to forums like this they know everything you do.

Not bashing Corvette Forums, just pointing out the obvious.

These devices will help slow down the neighborhood kids thats out for a joy ride, kind of like wheel locks which are all easily removed.

If they really want it, their going to get it. May take a second attempt but if your car checks all the boxes for their 'order' they will win in the end. Unless you want to sleep in your garage with a shotgun every night!

Thanks for everyone's feedback,
