xProtect - Introduction

Quick summary

xProtect is an innovative system that protects your vehicle against theft and unauthorised use, even if your key is stolen, was copied or the remote signal was hijacked. Only people you authorise can move your car.
xProtect is a software-only solution that requires no additional hardware.

Why xProtect?

Car theft today works very differently from the past. Thieves no longer break windows or hot-wire ignitions. Instead, they use sophisticated tools to relay or copy your car key’s signal within seconds.

This can happen while you are sleeping at home or shopping at a mall. The car is unlocked and started without triggering the alarm or leaving any traces. Installed vehicle trackers are well known to professionals and can usually be disabled and removed quickly.

Car theft is a constant race between manufacturers and criminals. Around 300,000 cars are stolen each year in the US, and about 40 cars per day in Berlin, Germany alone.
xProtect was created as a non-traditional approach to prevent unauthorised vehicle use.
