Car theft protection

Today thieves steal cars even without your key. We put the protection together for your car: 2 different measures, because no single one stops every way of stealing.

Send the make, model and year. We will tell you which measures suit your car.

We work in several cities in Serbia. Tell us your city.

How to protect your car from theft: what do you have?

You have an ordinary key

The thief gets into the car, plugs a device into the OBD port under the steering wheel and makes a new key in a few minutes. He does not need your key.

Take

Does the car stand in front of the house? Add an alarm with a siren, because you hear it from the house.

You have a keyless key

You have keyless if the car unlocks when you take the handle while the key is in your pocket. One thief picks up your key signal at your house, the other relays it to the car. The car unlocks and starts without any break-in.

Take

Also keep the key in a pouch that blocks the signal. The pouch protects only while the key is in it.

You drive a Toyota or a Lexus

The thief removes part of the bumper by the headlight and connects to the wiring. Through it he unlocks and starts the car. He does not need the OBD port.

Take

Take a moved bumper or a loose headlight without an accident seriously.

Someone tried to steal the car

A broken window or marks of forcing on the door lock can be a sign of attempted theft. Report it to the police on 192. If the OBD port is not protected, protect it as soon as you can.

An expensive car, or a car that stands outside at night? With OBD protection and an immobiliser, add GPS tracking. GPS alerts you as soon as someone moves the parked car and shows where it is, even when it is taken on a tow truck.

Not sure what key you have?

Send the make, model and year. We will tell you what suits your car.

How thieves steal cars today

Most often they drive off a car with the key left inside. Without your key they also steal in these ways:

  1. 1

    A new key through OBD

    The thief gets into the car, plugs a device into the port under the steering wheel and makes a new key in a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Keyless theft

    One thief picks up your key signal at your house, the other relays it to the car.

  3. 3

    Headlight attack

    The thief removes part of the bumper by the headlight and connects to the wiring. Through it he unlocks and starts the car.

Only the first way goes through the OBD port. That is why it is best to have 2 different measures.

What each protection stops

  • The factory OBD port under the dashboard, near the floor

    OBD port relocation

    100 € for any model

    • Stops a new key through OBD: without your adapter the port does not work.

    The factory port stays intact. A visit to your address in Belgrade is included.

    More about OBD port relocation

  • The factory OBD port under the steering wheel, close up

    Electronic OBD blocker

    • Stops a new key through OBD: the port stays in place, but does not work for the thief.

    It does not protect against keyless theft or the headlight attack.

    More about the OBD blocker

  • Car dashboard: rev counter needle at zero, immobiliser light on, engine not starting

    Immobiliser

    • The engine will not start without your fob, code or phone.
    • It protects against a new key, keyless theft and the headlight attack.

    It does not stop the thief making a new key and it makes no noise. That is why OBD protection goes with it.

    More about the immobiliser

  • Car alarm parts: control unit, siren, fobs and cables

    Alarm

    • A siren when someone opens a door, hits or moves the car.
    • More expensive alarms also alert your phone, and the engine will not start without your fob.

    An alarm that only sounds does not stop a new key through OBD or keyless theft.

    More about alarm installation

  • A small GPS device with an OBD plug and an antenna on a cable

    GPS tracking

    • On your phone you see where the car is and where it has been.
    • A message as soon as someone moves the parked car, even on a tow truck.

    It does not prevent theft, it helps find a stolen car. The device needs a SIM card or a subscription, depending on the device.

    More about GPS tracking

  • A key pouch stops keyless theft while the key is in it. A steering wheel lock slows the thief down, but does not stop him. More about the key pouch · More about the steering wheel lock

What you will hear, and what is true

  • “This protection gives 99% security.”

    Nobody has measured that. Each measure closes its own ways of stealing and costs the thief time. 2 different measures are worth more than one “perfect” one.

  • “The car has a factory alarm and immobiliser, that is enough.”

    A factory alarm is switched off with the key. A thief who makes a new key or relays your key signal unlocks and starts the car like the owner.

  • “OBD protection also protects against keyless theft.”

    It does not. Keyless theft goes through your key signal, not through the port. A key pouch and an immobiliser help against it.

  • “They mostly steal through OBD.”

    There are no public figures on that. The police say the most common case is a key left in the car.

OBD port relocation is 100 € for any model.

Questions

What is the best car theft protection?
There is no single best one. 2 different measures work best: one against making a key through OBD, relocation or a blocker, and one that stops the engine starting, an immobiliser. For a keyless key, add a pouch. More about the best theft protection
Does a factory alarm protect against OBD theft?
Mostly not. With a new key the thief unlocks the car like the owner. That is why the OBD port is protected separately.
Do I need everything at once?
Not necessarily. First fit protection against the way of stealing that threatens your car, and keep to the habits against theft. Add the rest according to the value of the car and where you leave it.
Does the protection get in the way of servicing and the technical inspection?
It does not. With OBD port relocation you take the adapter to the service and the inspection. You switch the OBD blocker off for the service yourself. You put the immobiliser in service mode, so the garage drives the car and you give the mechanic neither the fob nor the code.
Does extra protection work with the factory key and alarm?
It does. The immobiliser we fit works with the factory one and with the alarm you already have. You unlock the car with your key, and the engine also asks for your fob or code.
Can protection go on an older car?
It can. For an older car there are devices that connect differently than on a newer one.
Does protection lower the price of comprehensive insurance?
Some insurers give a discount if the car has an additional anti-theft device. Ask your insurer whether your protection counts for the discount. More about the kasko discount
What do I do if my car is stolen?
Call the police on 192 straight away and report the theft, then tell your insurer. Have all the keys and the registration certificate ready. More about what to do when your car is stolen
