Vehicle Security

SERVICE OVERVIEW

Cars manufactured after 2000 will have an insurance approved (Thatcham) category 2 immobiliser which in most cases will be equal to or better than the aftermarket equivalent. Some recent cars also have alarms fitted which are often linked to the vehicle ECU so difficult to defeat. Where an alarm is required to be fitted to a modern car it will need to be programmed  to match the onboard CANbus system. These alarm devices make use of the car remote key fob to arm and disarm the alarm thus negating the need to carry a separate fob

For older vehicles without CANbus systems, alarms are available with or without remote fobs to Thatcham category 1 status. There are also Thatcham category 2 immobilisers for cars built prior to 2000. So to conclude, there are essentially 4 types of popular security devices.

1. Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser
2. Thatcham Category 1 alarm (with immobiliser)
3. Thatcham CANbus Category 2 to Category 1 upgrade
4. GPS Tracking systems that monitor the movement of vehicles (Thatcham S7 / S5 / S5+)
