I’m trading in mine next year when the new Honda HRV model comes out. I’m tired of having to put a steering wheel lock every time I leave the car and the anxiety of coming out to an empty parking space in the morning. I already had the software update installed but thieves won’t know that unless they notice the tiny sticker on the window that mentions it. So you end up with a broken window anyway. The steering wheel lock is more effective primarily as a visual deterrent.
