Need a way to temporarily disable a vehicle's trunk latch unlock mechanism to reduce theft risk when a window is smashed, without permanently damaging the cable.
No off-the-shelf product exists to quickly and reversibly disable the trunk release mechanism after a window break; owners resort to hacking the cable.

TrunkGuard CableLock
A retrofit steel cable connector that allows vehicle owners to cut the trunk latch cable and install a manual disconnect mechanism, enabling them to disable the unlock feature from the cabin. Installs in minutes with basic tools, and can be reconnected when needed. Safer and more permanent than tape or zip ties.
Key Features
- Compatible with common trunk cable sizes (1/16" to 1/8")
- Quick-disconnect lever mounts near the latch or in the cabin
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction
- Includes installation tool and step-by-step video instructions
Target Users: Vehicle owners in high-theft areas who want a simple, reversible way to prevent trunk access after a window smash
Revenue Model: $19.99 one-time purchase per kit, sold online and through auto parts retailers
