Lets you shift car into neutral without having to put key in ignition :/

Doesn't this just help people steal your car.. I figure the parkshift lock is some protection against someone screwdriving ignitiion; Or does that unlock shiftlock

I believe that it allows you to shift the car out of park when the battery is dead or removed. I believe you still need to have the key in the ignition like normal.

I think it lets you allow to shift the gears when the car is not started.

It allows you to shift to any gear without the car in on or the key in the ignition. Basically it helps people to steal your car and tow it.
