A CarLock is a device that you can attach to any type of vehicle (helicopters and boats included) in order to lock it and block all inventory slots of vehicles from thieves.
You need to attach an item called CarLock in order to secure and own the car. Once an 8 digit (only numbers, not letters) password is set, you’ll be able to lock, unlock your car forever. Passwords need to be set only once. Your friend can also enter the password once to unlock the car.
Password data is stored into a client database located here, \Documents\DayZ\CarLock\CLDatabase\CarLock_X.json, where X is the last seven digits of the steamID of the player.
{
"CarLockPasswords": [
12345678,
3271109
]
}
You may find different json files in this location. These files have minimal identifiers to minimize your vehicles risk of theft.
To find a file, you need to compare the last seven digits of the desired players SteamID64 to the id number of the file.
The only way to reset a CarLock is to remove it with pliers.
The CarLock can be detached with a plier ****if you’re the owner or an admin.

A CarLockPick can be used to attempt to steal the car by removing the CarLock. According to LockPickChance (0.0 to 1.0 ~ 0% to 100%), you’ll get the CarLock and an alarm will be audible for 5 minutes, which can be heard within a 500 meter radius around the vehicle.
<aside> 💭 When buying a car at the trader, the car will be equipped with a CarLock and only a password will be required to finish the procedure. Check TraderPlusVehiclesConfig.json for more information.
