What Security Do I Need For My Car ?

    There are many different kinds of electronic security available for vehicles. Broadly speaking this can be either peace of mind or insurance (Thatcham) approved. They systems can be installed into your car, van, motorcycle, lorry even caravan etc.

    Most UK specification passenger vehicles sold after 1996 were fitted at factory with a Thatcham catagory 2 insurance approved immobiliser. This system prevents the car from starting without the ignition key as it  holds the unique chip (transponder), however very few offer security by means of an alarm system.
  Touch key and transponder Thatcham catagory 2 insurance approved immobilisers can be fitted to any vehicle that doesn't have an immobiliser fitted, stopping it from being started without this additional "key".

  Alarms provide an audible and visual warning if your car is tampered with.  Again many types of makes & models  are available.  Thatcham catagory 2 to1 insurance approved alarms utilise the car's existing cat 2 immobiliser and   together meet the full Thatcham catagory 1 alarm system specification.  For vehicles with no factory security  we have protection for those too.

   Many cars manufactured in recent years come with the convenience of  remote controlled central locking and you may not want any additional remote keys on your key ring. This is no problem, we can add an alarm that will work from your existing remote key (plip).

   Tracking is becoming more popular both with insurance companies and individuals alike, these systems work using GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) and mean that vehicles can be tracked with extreme accuracy anywhere and at any time. Many companies are now tracking thier fleet with this kind of equipment saving them time and money. Most companies report money savings in as little as a few weeks.
   Utrak is an ideal covert tracking system for this application as it is econonical to buy & maintain and very easy to change from vehicle to vehicle,  you track the vehicle yourself as and when you please, this could be either on your mobile phone, pc or laptop, no need for web connection.

What Stereo Will Fit My Car ?

   Vehicles now often come with good car radio systems, as ever improvement is always possible, e.g. sometimes it would be nice to have that CD multiplay again, but the new car came with just a single slot cd player..... we can add a compact disc changer to most brands of manufacturers stereo system this can, on some vehicles, be upgraded to an MP3 changer. iPOD solutions also available for factory fitted stereo's.

   For those vehicles that have satellite navigation as standard in thier car  it is even possible to add television or a DVD player giving full multimedia functions through the cars existing system. Freeview is also available, enjoy freeview channels with a digital tv tuner.

     Speaker upgrades can  transform the sound quality of  your in-car entertainment. Bass speakers or tune-up sub woofers can be added to any system to give another dimension to sound.

    For those unusual shaped or sized manufacturers radio's, facia panel  adaptors are available to enable the car radio to be changed for any audio system. Some car radio's even have USB ports so you can play music in your car directly from a USB memory device. Some have direct iPod control too allowing you to play your downloaded music and charge your iPod.
