Welcome! There have been some really good posts about this on the forum search but the bottom line is either, keep it in a garage or buy one of these:

Check the previous post on this subject, the hybrid has two and there is one that is readily accessible to a thief.

Does this one fit the one that is more accessible? Read that there are 2 and one of them is very difficult to get to...

It’s basically a less expensive, knock-off of the Cat Clamp. There is no secret sauce in these countermeasures. Make it more difficult or cumbersome for a thief and hopefully, they move on…

Easy install... not too mechanical inclined so something I can install?

These things are placebo. I don't think I have seen a single source that validates spending money on one actually stops a theft. If they are already under your vehicle with a saw ready to cut it off, a couple cables aren't going to make them stop and move on.

Park in a garage, or keep highly visible cameras and lighting on them. These devices aren't doing squat.

Then consider going to your dealer and discuss options.
