Hello, just bought a new mg5. Looking for advice please regarding its security as there have been a few car thefts on this road. How good is its factory fitted immobilizer, is the add-on tracker being offered by MG for £350 any good? I've seen a few posts about mg4 owners using steering wheel lock - Stoplock...which version might fit mg5? Any tips and helpful advice will be appreciated.

The MG4 is a bit of a different case because you can unlock and drive it using your phone. The MG5 only allows unlock.
I don't have direct experience but I can't imagine an add-on tracker being any better than the built in GPS that tells the app where the car is.

The inbuilt one can be removed by whoever is driving the car by scanning the QR code, so it's hardly secure
 
Thanks for the replies. Anyone had any positive experiences with a Stop lock for mg5? What would be great is a pin to drive feature like in other EVs. Not sure if that's available third party?
