【Car Theft Prevention】Completely disable engine start!? Protect your beloved car with the savior of digital theft

The next-generation theft prevention device "Globe-Guard" can fully counter the increasing digital theft. Not only does it block signals, but it can completely disable engine start, preventing any unauthorized driving even if someone manages to enter the vehicle. There are no running costs, making it incredibly cost-effective!

Car theft is frequently covered in the news and other media. Techniques are becoming more sophisticated, involving electronic devices, with key emulators, relay attacks, code grabbers, and CAN invaders being notable methods.

"Globe-Guard" is effective against these techniques. Currently, it is compatible only with certain models of Toyota and Lexus, and will gradually expand to more models. The process to implement it involves downloading a dedicated app and registering an account on your smartphone in advance, and then having the device installed in your car at an authorized dealer before use begins. The app is currently available only on iOS, with the Android version under development.

Your smartphone serves as an authentication tool, eliminating the need to carry a dedicated remote. The security can be toggled on or off in synchronization with the door lock, making it easy to use without cumbersome operations. It's amazing that this alone can combat digital theft!

Even with security activated, you can use Toyota's T-Connect and Lexus's G-Link. However, due to software updates on the vehicle or changes in service specifications, there may be instances where it cannot be used, so it's good to keep that in mind.

You cannot log in to the app simultaneously with more than one smartphone, but it is possible to log in with the same user ID on a different device. Therefore, if multiple people are using one car, driving can continue as usual. However, if the user ID is leaked externally, the risk of unauthorized access increases, so caution is needed when sharing.

Car theft is concentrated among specific models like the Land Cruiser and Prius

According to the "26th Survey on Automobile Theft Incidents" by the General Insurance Association of Japan, certain models are being targeted, with the Toyota "Land Cruiser (including Prado)" ranking first in theft over the past few years. Additionally, while there have been fluctuations in rankings, the "Prius," "Alphard," and "Lexus LX" have consistently ranked in the top 2 to 4 positions in recent years. Users of these cars should be particularly vigilant.

Currently, a fundamental solution to digital theft has not been reached. We hope that "Globe-Guard" can change that situation.
