don't wast your money get someone to put a switch between the ignition and the battery, and only you will know where it is. that way you can shut it off, and even the best crock won't know how to start it. That simple....O do put the switch where you can get at it easily preferably inside the vehicle. No power vehicle won't run, your radio might need station resetting every time but with i pods and other stuff the dash radio is more of a piece of history on your vehicle than anything else. On new vehicles they come with anti theft systems so your radio does not need resetting.
