True but thieves don't have any bad things happened to them. I seen where a guy had his truck stolen,and had air tags . And was able to find his truck. They both had guns but the thief lost .Dirt nap was his prize.
Good video but if I was you I would take it down. You just showed the thief’s how to steal your car if someone wanted to target you. If I put a security system in my car I keep it to myself. I hate see your beautiful Mopar stolen. Please just take it down. If you want to give good security advice just tell them to be very creative when installing an alarm system. 👍
Any thief would easily find this. I’m certain he has a tracker and kill switch that is somewhere difficult to find that isn’t in the video. No matter where you put the kill switch if it’s spliced within a couple feet of the start button or the ignition relay they can just resplice the cut wires. This is just a monitor that alerts him that the car is being messed with. I’m certain there is a second gps tracker and one or two kill switches that aren’t on the video.
Ditto I bought a kill switch but it's so many vids on here I'm debating on putting it in. He's helping tho so I get it. I just wish it was another way to make these vids
@@Akron2PDX they should be made without showing the exact location. In a lot of videos you see them putting it in the same location so you have to be creative on making it very difficult for the thief’s.
@@rustyshaklferd1897 key here is having multiple security layers which adds time to the thief prevention a quick getaway. Never rely one just one system
Have you tried the ODB splitter which allows you to plug your Car Lock in plus all you would see is the in put from the splitter.And your CarLock can be hidden out of sight.
The engine start and vibration detection will eventually start back working. I hardwired my carlock and it began working correctly after a day or two. Love the videos bro.
Honestly, I was a car thief in the late 80s early 90s and if i broke into a Transam and bright lights and then a train horn started going off ,It would screw me up because i easnt expecting that and id be gone ,Alarms themselves with a 2nd person i can break in and have the horn killed quick ,but a train horn i think would make me forget this car lol
Personally just speaking from my pov my car 60k I wasn’t wasting time or cutting corners on security with car lock I just dropped da bag on 1k alarm system with all the bells an whistle’s. Just don’t won’t to depend on 50 bucks alarm vs an tried true good hard wired alarm gps tracking alarm . Just my pov stay safe brothers
Run a spliced wire from the OBD itself under the carpet and up under your driver seat. This way it remains in the cabin, hopefully still sensitive to movement and vibration.
I just got my carlock yesterday and love it so far setting things up now I also brought a anti -theft car locking device safety belt steeping wheel lock
OBDII Splitter Extension Y Cable is what I use for hardwired GPS in my works trucks. The OBDII port looks factory & the car lock will be hidden inside the dash! I run the GPS & SCT Livewire TS+ at the same time with no issues
Run the + wire to a ignition powered wire straight a 12v relay switch and then to a bus bar so you can have extra expandable terminals. This is when you gotta listen to car audio guys. You won't lose any features if you hide it a concealed location in cars cabin using velcro. Yall are welcome.
No one said this is steal proof but it can help buy time, some thief’s may just leave the car alone if it gets too difficult or the car lock will alert the owner if the car is being messed with also. I think adding layers of security will be the best bet
Having it hardwired is gonna have it pull ~12 volts all the time. It may jump up to 14-15 volts when the engine starts. I'm sure the device actually connects to the PCM/ECU while inserted in the OBD2 port. That's why you get the engine start/stop alerts. What you need to install is an ODB2 bypass cable to connect it to instead. That should maintain the functionality, except for possibly the vibration.
What if you used 2 car locks, 1 where you normally plug it in and the second one hard wired. Would that work?. And if a theft found the first one he wouldn't look for another, I think.
You should use the splitter and run it remotely. If you tuck that wire away or even shrink wrap it to the main OBD the bad guy probably wont even notice. He will just see an open plug and go on.
Z Automotive makes a similar OBD for the trunk but it adds the connectors to get CAN signals from the car. It would give back all of those notifications that you are missing. It's called the Double Bypass Harness.
I'm getting a compustar in the following weeks, I have a few questions in this video while being hard wired did you have the carlock tags as well? If so did that help with the sensitivity. Did you get the ghost lock in the Helly?
Great video I was wondering is it possible for you to splice into the obd 2 port so you can run a line somewhere that can’t be seen then all your functions work and your port is still open
But they can still find it if they're thorough enough, when they stole my Scat, they stripped the entire Dash and gutted it search for GPS and cameras, re-routing if they know their shit. This is why I recommend wireless GPS devices, Yes cheap Apple Air tags and Samgsung Smart Tags work, but aren't 100% reliable like a Real-Time GPS that constantly update. Most of these thieves steal your shit early in the AM, when most people are still sleep and Most people are on the road, so Airtags at those hours are useless, I would know. My Scat was stolen a little over a month ago, around 2am in the morning my wife hears my car start up and it take off down the street. Yep, I found my car, but only a few hours later I got a hit, luckily it was still in my city, hell if they were from out of town, by time I got the hit I could had been out of state. So yeah, I had to upgrade to a real time GPS, I still keep the smart tag as a back up.
The voltage tells the device that the engine had started. The car has a voltage regulator (resistor) attached to the battery negative that is responsible for charging the battery when it drops to a certain point. It needs to be hard wired to a constant 12v source but not directly to the battery. That wY the voltage will read the engine/alternator output instead of the battery's voltage. The OBD port hookup only provided the constant 12v power and negative just like the pigtail. Location will play a part as far a detecting vibrations in the cabin.
With the hardwire can’t you buy their vibration sensors for $20 and install them throughout the car? I thought Rubix did. Not sure about the hardwire and startup sensor not working, but then again the kill switches work.
The car lock in the obd port if fine for notification that the car is being messed with even if they unplug it it still serves that purpose. I’m sure you do, but having a secondary gps tracker and at least 2 kill switches that are hidden and not spliced in near the start button or ignition relay. There are many good places for the tracker and the kill switches. If you remove the rear seat you can wire a kill switch to the fuel pump. Once car lock alerts you they won’t have time to remove the rear seat to find it even if you leave a note telling them where the switch is spliced to the fuel pump.
And you don’t need a physical switch to the fuel pump under the rear seat. You can wire a relay under the rear seat wired in a normally open configuration and any wireless device to close the relay via a remote control to power up the fuel pump.
You could try splicing wires directly under the dash board. There are several 12V and negative cables under the dash that you can tap into. I would just add a fuse in series with the device just in case you have a surge in the system. that way your security system is inside the car under the dashboard and out of sight and I’ll also free up you’re OBD port.
Good video bro if I have go through all that just keep car being stolen when thevie see this video they no what to do just not worth my peace of mind this why I sold mine
Great video…but there’s no way in hell I’d do this myself……why not spent an extra two or three hundo’s to have a professional who has been putting alarms in since the 80’s….gotta be a shop in Charlotte.
1st take the transmission release cable unhook it and push it back up in the dash, buy a obd2 extension cut everything but power and ground, remove stock obd plug and put the extension in its spot and hide the real one with the extension plugged into up in the dash, now you cant roll it off down the street and its completely impossible to copy a key because their connected to nothing more than power, zero data connection
I was just about to comment that .having it In the trunk it will a have lack of vibration sensitivity in the front. . And if you have your spare tire on top of it to . . They should create a clone so you have 1 in each obd
when thieves cant steal them and drive them off, they will do what they did in the 70s and 80s, they will use flatbed wrecker trucks to just snatch them up and haul them off. an old school way to stop the car from driving around is run a heavy chain around the steering wheel and under a seat... unless they have big/heavy bolt cutters, or a tool box with the tools to remove the seat, they aint goin too far.. this would be something u could do when u park the car at night.. another way to easily disable the engine is remove the starter relay.. if a thief cant get it started fast, they arent going to be out there trying to figure it out. the laws need to be changed so that breaking into a car is a felony.. in most states it is a simple misdemeanor.
No you don't I hard wired mine and connected to longer wire and ran it to the inside of the car hiding the wire thru the panels and have all my features still engine start vibration etc just get longer wires connect it to the end of the car lock wires and hide it somewhere in the inside of the car

Use the ODB spliter my guy! It will route carlock to be concealed and the splitter will give you an open ODB port.
I was just gonna recommend this
Have you tried the ODB splitter which allows you to plug your Car Lock in plus all you would see is the in put from the splitter.And your CarLock can be hidden out of sight.
I dig these cars, but I have to wonder if the headache is worth it -- especially if you don't have a garage to put it in.
I hardwired mine as well and it works good with all the features....Thanks for the video👍
The engine start and vibration detection will eventually start back working. I hardwired my carlock and it began working correctly after a day or two. Love the videos bro.
How did you hardwire it? I was thinking of doing my directly to the fuse box using a fuse tab
Need to add some bright ass lights in the inside and a train horn. That way they'll be blind & confused when they set it off.
😭
Sounds like a great idea😂

Have a 22 charger scat. Car lock is hardwired from the battery and I still get all the notifications no issues.
Did you do it via a fuse box using a fuse tab?
Dome light, driver seat both have constant 12v. I would recommend hiding it in one of those places. Under the seat would be very hard to find.

Just do a all inclusive alarm my dude. Make car lock ur secondary device.

Can you run 2 devices of CarLock at the same time one OBD and the other hardwired?
I use 3 air tags and placed around my car and use a dash and rear camera
IGLA pincode system is 1000x better, car lock is a stick in a bucket compared to IGLA
Can you install them in yourself or you need a car electrician?
I noticed the same thing when I hard wired mine . Going back to the OBD with the splitter cable cuz I also have my tuner plugged into it.
1st and yes it becomes slower/less responsive
Sad but true man
You could hardwire to the battery and use the splitter off the hardwire to run into the cabin in the car.
2 questions, can you install both?, and have you called Tech Support, and ask for recommendations (if any) on getting around these issues?

Is it going to drain your battery?
Carlock would be epic if the vibration detection worked right, since it didnt for me it was basically useless.
Hey knockout. Your boy that had the full alarm system set up with 24/7 gps. Can you give me details on that?
A few moments later...His car was gone...😂😂😂
You could also just power it from an empty slot in the fuse box.
Kill switch, airtag with the speak out you're good to go. Don't waste your money on anything else!!!👍
I actually brought a splitter so it two cords that turn into one that plugs into the obd but i never installed it so it hasn’t been tested
