What makes the ScorpionTrack S5 PLUS the best GPS car tracker and immobiliser currently available? 

Modern keyless entry vehicles are effectively 'computers on wheels’. 

Unfortunately this, therefore, means that, like a computer, your car can be hacked if the right technique and equipment are used.

Car thieves know this and have quickly evolved from the ‘smash and grab’ approaches of the past, to a much more sophisticated (but unfortunately very fast and very effective) covert hacking technique, to drive your car away within mere seconds.  

Relay attack, key cloning, and key theft have become the fastest-growing methods of theft amongst organised car theft gangs. The ScorpionTrack S5 PLUS counteracts all of these methods of theft as well as any other known technique.

This is a huge contributing reason as to why so many more insurance providers will not insure your vehicle if a Thatcham-approved vehicle tracker has not been installed. 

The S5 tracking system is the highest level of Thatcham category trackers, and with the additional immobilisation feature, this makes it the most comprehensive vehicle security product currently available.

RELAY ATTACK

Relay Attack is one of the fastest-growing car theft techniques in the UK and involves thieves working in teams of at least 2 using small portable RF devices, typically under the cloak of nighttime. 

One thief will stand by your car on your driveway with a transmitter and another stands by your front door with a relay device.

What they are doing is remotely hijacking your car key fob signal from inside your house, transmitting it to the thief stood by your car.

This makes your vehicle think that the key is in close proximity, and will therefore unlock the door.

The thief can then enter your vehicle without damaging it or causing a disruption. This takes seconds!

Many motorists may not know what key cloning is, as it is a relatively new technique that has been growing in popularity amongst car theft gangs. 

Once a thief has entered the vehicle they can plug a device into your OBD port, allowing them to program and download a new key.

This may sound far-fetched, but it is actually very quick, very covert, and therefore, very effective.

What’s more, it allows them to drive the vehicle away without any damage or drawing any attention to themselves.

Another simple method of theft is opportunistic theft of car key fobs from bags, pockets, gym/sports club locker rooms, a coffee shop/ restaurant tables.

You will not believe the audacity of these thieves AND how good they are at this particular technique. They exist under the radar, meaning your keys and your vehicle will be gone within minutes; and maybe hours before you even notice.

Considering this, it is advisable to keep your Immobiliser fob unattached to your car key.

Knowing this, you can understand why insurance providers are insisting on extra security to be added to vehicles before they offer coverage against theft.
