[Car Theft Prevention] Prepare for your absence during summer vacation! A physical brake pedal lock that immobilizes the vehicle.

Nowadays, cars can be stolen even without keys. In addition to electronic measures, I'd like to return to the "basics" and add physical provisions. The pedal lock from Carmate, which secures the brake pedal and prevents takeoff, seems to be a reliable preparation to protect your beloved vehicle.

Theft that doesn't target the key is on the rise

In recent years, the methods of car theft have significantly changed. Methods such as relay attacks that exploit the signals of smart keys and CAN invaders that intercept signals from the wiring inside the car have spread, allowing vehicles to be moved without stealing the key itself.

No matter how much you strengthen electronic security, it becomes a game of cat and mouse, which is frustrating... Therefore, what is being re-evaluated is the preparation to physically immobilize the vehicle.

The Car Mate "Barricade Brake Pedal Lock 1" is precisely a security gear born from that idea.

Its role is simple: it secures the brake pedal to prevent any forward motion

by making it impossible to press the brake. By firmly securing the pedal arm with high-strength steel, even if the engine starts, the vehicle cannot move if the brake cannot be pressed. For the criminal, the wall of “not being able to drive in the first place” is likely to be much more troublesome than the hassle of unlocking it. Unlike a steering lock, it is less noticeable from the outside since it fits at the feet, which is reassuring.

It can be used on a wide range of vehicles without damaging your beloved car.

The usability that concerns you has been carefully considered. The parts that touch the pedal are edge-treated to minimize scratches on valuable interiors. The springless structure prevents the spring from bouncing back during attachment and detachment, making it safe to handle even during busy morning hours.

Weighing about 1500g, it has a solid heft when you pick it up, and that presence itself serves as a deterrent. It accommodates a wide range, covering everything from light cars to SUVs and minivans, as long as the pedal arm width is between 5 and 14mm and there’s more than 100mm from the floor surface. With three dedicated keys included, it can be shared among family members even if they share one car.

Protect your precious vehicle with assured safety.

The included dedicated keys amount to three. It's convenient for each family member to have a key even when sharing one car.

Adding one visible physical lock as an electronic countermeasure──. This dual layer of security leads to peace of mind in daily life. Its ease of use, starting from the day you think of it without the need for special construction or wiring, is also appealing. If you want to have a long relationship with your beloved car, it might be a good idea to reassess the protection at your feet.
