Security lock, very important for motorhomes

The worst nightmare for drivers: the central locking system has been hacked ...

For all car and motorhome owners it is quite normal these days to click the remote control to lock or unlock all doors.

However, nowadays anyone with some computer skills can open a vehicle without too much hassle; for this they use adapted hardware and software that can be easily downloaded from the Internet. What can become a nightmare for motorhomes and drivers in general. Among others, the main vehicles affected are the 2006 models of the Fiat Ducato, Citroën Jumper, Peugeot Boxer and Iveco Daily, among others.

A digital theft leaves no trace. Thieves have been concentrating on these models for several years. Since the theft leaves no clues, it is difficult to prove that it has happened at all, which complicates life - if you want to file a claim part to insurance. Basically anyone can capture data. It is very easy to get into a vehicle if there is no proper code for the wireless signal from your vehicle's remote control system.

Many manufacturers even dispense with the so-called rolling code or jump code system to offer greater protection by changing the code at any given time according to a predetermined algorithm.

Is your vehicle affected? Only special adaptation systems can remedy the situation and eliminate this security hole. Specialists, including Thitronik, who intervene with their VIPro-III-Alarm systems in the CAN-Bus of base vehicles, have used their knowledge to find their own solution.

With the module called safe.lock, the security hole resulting from an unencoded vehicle key is closed. Once the module is connected to the central locking system, the security hole in the vehicle that would be caused by an uncoded key will close. The original non-secure vehicle key electronics will be replaced by the supplied circuit board, this will protect the vehicle with around 4 million constantly changing codes used when locking and unlocking it.

This key service can only be delivered through an authorized Thitronik specialist with the appropriate programming infrastructure. More information at www.thitronik.de (page in German and English.
