Keyless theft defence

Stop relay attacks and key cloning

Covert immobilisation and Scorpion Track Driver ID — the layers that defeat modern keyless vehicle theft.

How keyless theft works — and how to stop it

Most modern vehicles use keyless entry and start, where the key continuously broadcasts a low-power signal. Thieves exploit this with a two-device relay attack: one amplifies the signal from your key (often through walls or pockets), and the other relays it to the car — unlocking and starting it in seconds.

Covert immobilisation defeats this by requiring an additional authorisation step beyond the key — even if thieves unlock the car, they cannot drive away without it. The TASSA Verified Autowatch Ghost-II is the benchmark: a covert PIN sequence on your factory buttons that a relayed or cloned key cannot bypass.

The Scorpion Track S5+ ADR Driver ID system adds a further layer: the vehicle raises an alert if it moves without a recognised driver tag present.

Relay attack

Two devices amplify and relay your key's signal — unlocking and starting the vehicle in seconds without touching the key.

Key cloning

Criminals clone your key's signal to program a replacement, giving them a working copy to drive away at will.

OBD port programming

Access to the diagnostics port allows a new key to be programmed in minutes.

App immobilisation

Covert app-controlled immobilisation stops the vehicle starting regardless of what key is used.
