Toyota Adds Genuine Steering Wheel Lock to Counter LandCruiser Thefts

Overview

• Dealers are listing the accessory at about AU$200, with Toyota citing automotive‑grade steel construction, anti‑tampering design, a four‑point grip, a bright red deterrent finish, and fixed non‑replaceable keys.
• The lock is currently shown on the LandCruiser 300 Series accessories page, and Drive reports dealers describe it as a universal fit for broader use.
• Toyota says it introduced security upgrades on newer HiLux, LandCruiser 300 and Prado models in 2025, but similar retrofits are not available over the air for most existing vehicles.
• An additional immobiliser accessory remains in development, with no launch date announced.
• Police investigations last year led to seven arrests and 380 charges tied to an alleged syndicate that stole about 60 Toyotas via CAN‑bus access and exported them overseas, including to the UAE.
