It is a sealed unit and therefore, it is impossible to access the circuits. This makes it almost impossible for thieves to hear that tell-tale clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays produce.
This technology is also not vulnerable to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves, and because it is based on the CAN data network, it's undetectable to any other diagnostic tools. This makes it an ideal anti-theft solution for any modern vehicle.
