Steering locks

[JC65]

Does anyone know the best steering lock for a Yaris Cross, 2022. Have tried all different the different versions of Stoplock steering locks and they don’t work! What about the Milencio steering lock? Any advice?

[CJA2002]

I have a Milenco, as the others just don't fit.*

Early days, but it's an easier one to use then the Stoplok, or the over-the-steering wheel variety

It's also "Sold secure", whichI don't believe the Stoplok is (happy to be proved wrong...)

 

* they also do a "commercial/SUV variety", which has a longer bar, if that's what you want

we have the stoplock pro elite on our yaris cross and it works perfectly.

Do you live or frequent rough areas ? Just can't see someone stealing a YC 😄

I posted this in the last thread about steering locks.

Save your money car thieves want BHP not MPG they wont be interested in the type of Yaris most of us in  this forum drive 😉

Its just a deterrent for the casual yob who might have a go at nicking it for a laugh then real thieves as they steal to order and a lock wont stop them. Personally for £30 it cost me it is a little peace of mind if I do park somewhere a little suss that if mine has one and the Yaris/other car next to mine does not, hopefully that one will get nicked first 🙂

Still, given people have cut off resonators thinking they were catalysts, there'll probably be some idiot who can't tell the difference between a RAV4 and a Yaris Cross, so no harm in adding a bit of visible deterrent!

I just park near Fiestas and BMWs

Spare wheel kit or all season tyres along with rubber mats I can understand people wanting one, but steering wheel locks, cameras, body wraps, specialist paint protections , side steps, seat covers, extra sound insulation and all relevant adds on the only real benefit of all these is a profit for those who made and supply them. Often these unnecessary items cause more damage than help and they also add extra mental burden, quite opposite to what car owners think - for peace of mind. 
The best peace of mind is not to think too much.
Just enjoy your car responsibly, maintain on time, do not add unnecessary accessories and do not try to fix something that it’s not broken.
Your car will serve you well and for longest time. 👍

No one is stealing Yaris Cross - I've seen reports of one having the front end panels stolen in Birmingham IIRC.

Just keep your keyless fobs safe or switch them off.

Steering locks also a waste of time, professional thieves will have these off in seconds no matter what Thatcham award rating it has.

Agreed, steering wheel lock are not needed for this car, such an inconvenience with it. Maybe for those cars with the Can bus vulnerability.

I purchased this Tevlaphee Steering wheel lock which fits my 2022 Yaris Cross design. It fits above the steering wheel boss not over it and easy to fit/remove, if you have the key. If not it will certainly deter a thief for quite a long time which is all you can hope to do. Amazon at £37 at the moment.    You get three keys    very good ones as far as I can see.

They may be good keys but the thieves would be quicker opening it with a drill.

I don’t tend to bother accept for a long stay when I feel having something visual is a bonus. I then parked next to cars which don’t have anything.

That's the long way to get them open!  

 

 

or even:

 

 

(Don't watch this guy's channel if you get nervous easily as it will make no lock seem safe anymore!    )

This fits perfectly -

My father always taught me that locks only keep honest people out. He said that if a dishonest person wants in, they will get in.

Maybe so, but determined thieves will always find a way past any locks etc. Best you can do is make it more difficult for the. At least if they manage to steal your vehicle, your Insurance Company can see you did try.
