They're just like in your pic ime. Really there's no point in using a good lock design on a car, what with all that glass and all.

The last car to use a pin lock listed above were fords in the 90s. And even then that was the only the trunk lock.

Every lock since about 82ish has been wafer unless you're name is jaguar, or ford.

Keep in mind there are different type of wafer locks too.

>I need some knowledgeabout car locks. Im a fricking ignorant when it comes to cars so I thought you guys could lend me a hand here.

Cars have gone beyond the wafer locks of course. Many cars now use a rectangular bar into which a pattern cut on each side. This makes picking a lock harder. The big deal is that the key fob has a digital ID code that the RF transmitter sends to the car. Without that code, the computer will not start the car or give fuel to it even if you manage to hot wire the starter to crank.

In addition, some cars (like mine) knows if the key fob is there or not. So if the door lock is picked, I set a 30 second delay before the alarm starts to sound if the car hasn't been successfully started. The same with the ignition lock. If the ignition lock is picked and there is no key fob nearby, the computer beings the 30 second countdown.

Car thieves nowadays pretty much either steal the keys from the owner or use a flatbed trailer (pulled by a truck) to carry off the car.

There is no rf signal, there is a switch connected to the lock on the back that has the 4 positions and stoppers on it. That is hardwired to the bcm or ecu.

this

Seriously hide your cars, that's the only thing I could recommend

Oh and if you leave it in town you shouldn't lock it up cause you'll have to pay for a new window and anything they could steal anyways


Got my windows broken a few times, now if I have to park downtown I use secured underground parking lots.
Don't care if I have to pay, still better than to have my car broken by some jelly assholes

France, the worst country on earth to own a car

many cars need a transponder chip in the vicinity of the lock when the key is turned otherwise it won't fire up.

Hey!
Don't blame the car thieves, that's racist.

>tfw I have smuggling compartments built into my car from the factory and dickbag thieves are generally too young to remember this about my model so they won't find anything valuable
>Leave it unlocked all the time
>Have a fuel pump cutoff switch I installed myself under the carpet that's undetectable so it won't start without putting your foot in a certain spot
