... A good old fashion chain and padlock under the seat and then hooped around the steering wheel...

Or... 🤣

I've disabled the keyless entry on my ST (even though it has a 'sleepy' key).

It's nice to be able to see its location on FordPass too.

Keyless entry dumbest idea ever (apart from maybe start/stop). Well done...

Despite the media hype about keyless cars, most are still opened through the key barrel.  Easiest way to steal from inside.  And if they want to take the whole car they can just plug into the OBD port.  Once again, the media blow everything out of proportion to spread fear and get clicks...

  It's not something I had on my previous ST, so I won't miss it.

 

I forgot to add, that a 'padlock & chain' through the steering wheel is useless. People who do this are thinking like a responsible owner not wanting to damage their pride & joy.

A scumbag will just slice a 1 inch segment out of the steering wheel using a cordless angle grinder, and slip off the chain/padlock without even touching them.

Hence I'm such a big fan of the DiskLok.
