Hi Matt
There should be no invalidation of any warranty on your vehicle as we do not hard-wire or write/interfere with CAN. Protector has also been installed next to a number of other alarm, tracking and tuning systems with no adverse impact.
You should of course check with your Dealer for peace...
Hi Biker
Sorry to hear about your experience. We're still running the Portector promotion for members and yes has been fully tested against professional and opportunist attacks. Stops all known bypass/program methods through the obd port. let me know if you need anything from us.
We are currently undertaking a big education drive with insurers in order to reward owners who choice a professional and tested solution to protect their vehicles.
I know Adrian Flux have added to their approved list of security products now which should create a premium reduction to their...
Hi Burgo, We've had an initial conversation with AF and are waiting for information back from their under writers as to whether they will support the system and offer any recognition for installed vehicles...
As Thatcham is predominantly owned by and established to service the insurance...
No problem, yeah unfortunately we had nearly 12 month delay in launching as we had to wait for Thatcham to create the new criteria to test against. but is done no so all good :)
I appreciate the mention on the other forum, utilising our range of bespoke looms Portector can be installed to just...
Just finished speaking with the approval person at VW Group for aftermarket accessories.
Their stance is that if they do not sell the system, they will not support it. Offered to open discussions about them stocking for Dealer promotion as we are already an approved supplier to VW and no...
Yes once the system is disarmed full access is granted through the port. Anything you can do on standard vehicle, you can do when Portector is disarmed :)
This is a standard Dealer approach to something they are unwilling to address or understand - after all who gets the sales when you cars stolen.
Would be interesting to see if they are stating that for example an insurance black box (plug in obd) voids the warranty too? As this in effect is...
Apologies ..
We have a reasonable amount of exposure around the forum (home page main banner plus sub banners around) and running a special members discount promotion..
Portector is the first and only fully tested and Thatcham certified dedicated electronic obd port security device. System...
Fully appreciate anything visual is a deterrent and yes as with any security product the aim is to push them to another vehicle. Whilst effective the issue I can see is that this only works if the product is utilised everytime the car is parked/left... with reports that VAG can be circumvented...
Sorry for the hijack people.. Not a sales pitch, but feedback would be great if you can?
Thoughts on this type of security?
Impractical?
Outdated?
Cost effectiveness?
Correct in high end vehicles?
Appearance?
Why this over professional fitted modern security?
The report came out around 6 months ago and when reviewed it was more around how thieves are actually managing to gain entry (watch some of the videos on YouTube and a thief literally walks up to a car, indicators flash and they jump straight in).
Once inside this allows them access to the obd...
Haha cheers, you'll need to work faster next time ;)
We've invested a significant amount of time and money perfecting Portector. Whilst some manufacturers have stated they've sold this issue going forward (only time will tell), unfortunately this doesn't help everyone else and the millions of...
Good advice will Ask Dealer if anything available. I'd like to give it a little more power, it's pretty quick for what it is and obviously not a hot hatch but I think around 320-330 would be better and most other brands are offering this on a similar engine. I'd love an SQ7 when it's out @435bhp...
Hi hollow
Portector was originally based on a cat 2 immobiliser circuit, however in order to make it dedicated for obd and because we do not hard wire, we had to rewrite the circuit board and make a number of changes to ensure it did not cause any issues when fitted to a vehicle (cat 2 is...
Hi, Portector will fit most vehicles including cars and lcv' in the market, only Volvo i think we are struggling on at present due to their bespoke obd plug (the rest we already have in place and that loom is being developed as we speak).
System using a bespoke loom depending on vehicle...
No problem Simon,
I'm happy that I can put your mind at ease and appreciate there's always a little apprehension when a new solution comes into the market.
The system is secure and the booking window is in fact a portal from The ISR (appears on our site but is from their database).
If you...
Sorry didn't address the professional their point..
True anything fitted to a vehicle no matter what can be removed given the tools, time and opportunity to do.. Unfortunately that's just the nature of the game. However this has been tested against currently known profession methods and exceeds...
