Thats what i was thinkin, that they could bring a spare lol would need some kind of cover to go over it that needs a key to get to it, that way they would need the right key, a steering wheel and meqns of getting it started!

thought theres 2 sections to the snap of boss kit one would be attached in the car and the other on the steering wheel once removed . Not sur eif im right becuase i haven't got one myself just looked on the internet though!

ive seen instances of where they bring a spare ecu with coded keys and simply switch the old ecu to the new 1, might be a bit time comsuming but would bypass quite alot of things. Incase i get blasted for that its readily available on youtube already

My mate had his car broken into 4 times with people trying to nick it. As soon as he got a snap off wheel it's not been touched since. One thing though..... If they want your car and your wheel is under your pilliw - in they come!

i had one didnt like it from a driving point of view brings the wheel closer and didnt seem to give the same conected feel that bolts give, if you that bothered about you can getting nicked you can put, all sorts switches in so that the car will not move without your secret switch being flicked on, example fuel pump switch

Just as easy to get a disclock for £60.00 imho to cover your steering wheel.I have had one on every car i have owned in the last 10 years and never had a car broken into ,let alone stolen. You can get them off ,but they take forever.
