‼️ Increase thefts of pick-up trucks ‼️

Apr 24, 2025 | News

In the first quarter of 2025 the most popular vehicle we’ve had increased enquiries on at Autosparx which has resulted in increased enhanced security installations by our workshop & mobile installation teams has been the commercial pickup truck

Always a popular workhorse for tradesmen, the pickup truck for reasons unknown to us has suddenly also become a desirable target to the criminals too! 

Ford Ranger – Toyota Hilux – Mitsubishi L200 KGM / SsangYong Musso – Isuzu D-Max – Volkswagen Amarok – Nissan Navara – Mercedes-Benz X-Class – Fiat Fullback -INEOS Grenadier

We’ve many vehicle security enhancements to complement any existing factory security but the most popular request by vehicle owners has been a ‘tracker & immobiliser combination’ 

With multiple *tracking & immobilisation packages we’ve a solution to suit all requirements with insurance approval too where required to lower insurance premiums. 

Tracking…. 3 Popular options. 

Self-monitored ‘fleet’ tracking, Thatcham S7 entry level monitored, & Thatcham S5 monitored with additional features such as driver identification to alert the 24/7 secure operating / monitoring centre if the vehicle moves without driver authentication.

Immobilisation…. 3 Popular options.

Via an electronically coded ‘touch key’ preventing starting of the vehicle without a coded touch key being briefly placed onto the dashboard mounted receptacle. 

A ‘transponder’ system which simply requires a tag to be in proximity when a start attempt is made, no tag – no start!

Or a CANbus-based system requiring a unique combination of the vehicles existing buttons to be pushed before allowing the vehicle to start. The combination can be between 3 & 20 button pushes & each installation has its own unique combination chosen by the vehicle owner &/or installation technician.

All the above systems automatically arm each time the vehicles ignition is switched off &/or the drivers door is opened keeping the vehicle secure at all times.

Book an installation before it’s too late!
