Vehicle Theft Protection by Make

Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles have a known relay-attack and code-grab vulnerability, where thieves capture or amplify your key fob's signal to unlock and start the vehicle without ever touching your keys. A Compustar starter-kill (ignition kill) defeats this specific attack because the vehicle physically cannot start without the actual remote present in the car.

Toyotas are commonly targeted, especially certain trucks and SUVs. We recommend a Viper or Compustar security system with shock and tilt sensors plus an ignition kill, so the vehicle can't be driven off even if someone gets inside.

Kia has been heavily targeted in recent years due to a well-publicized ignition vulnerability. A professionally installed aftermarket security system with starter-kill functionality adds a real layer of protection that the factory system doesn't have.

Hondas are heavily targeted due to their popularity and resale value on stolen parts. We recommend the same starter-kill and sensor approach we use across other high-risk vehicles, paired with GPS tracking for faster recovery if the worst happens.
