Oh yeah, the Club lol! Those were big in the 90's. I had one in my Cavalier Z24 and than later I used it in my Corolla. Clubs and removable stereo faceplates were the thing!

Blast from the past! I remember taking my Pioneer faceplate out of my car every time I went out. Had to carry it in a long black box that didn't fit in any of my pockets lol.

I had a Club for my Celebrity and my 91 Accord. Didn't need it for my 99 Accord and any cars after that because immobilizers became more common.

Oh yeah! I grew up in LA where stereo theft (and car theft in general) was rampanet. I would put it in my backpack or sometimes just hide the it under my seat. Never had my car broken into again or another Stereo stolen. They later went to stereos that would scramble and needed to be reset by the dealer if you pulled them out, making these moot

Haha.

Once my stereo was stolen, I got a slide-out (not a removable faceplate). And then they just stole the whole car, with the Club on it.....

Ha ha. I had a small backpack to put my plastic black box holder thing.

I think my Club is in my garage somewhere. I also had the pie plate that covered the whole steering wheel and worked with the Club. Those were the days...lol

Hyundai's rust very badly if you live anywhere in the salt belt stay away. We're talking 3-4 year old cars with rust issues. Mechanics around here hate them.

lots of issues with manufacturing with way too many defects.

The tow hitches that catch fire is just unbelievable. Or rear parking sensors

This company just can't build a high quality product. There is no defending it: their cars are cheaply made and have issues galore.
