If you own an Audi and your on an Audi forum, you’ve probably heard of the increase in break-ins of Aud RS vehicles over the past few months. The thief’s have now found a way to disable the factory alarm system. The main car at present under attack is the RS4. after smashing the window the roof lining is pulled down to disable the internal sensors of the oem alarm system.
They are then free to work on the car with no interruptions.
On the RS4s there main goal is to steal the bucket seats and any other RS extra such as the steering wheel and gear know all worth £ in the aftermarket upgrade world. The bucket seats are unbolted and pulled through the smash side window in no time at all. These seats are priced at anything up to £5k each by Audi dealerships. This normally leads to their insurance company writing the car off. The damaged caused by the seats being stolen and pulled through is extensive. Most of the internal panels are badly broken and scratched leaving these cars in a really bad state. We visited one garage to fit an alarm to a customers car reported 10 attacks the same way to the same vehicles over a period of a few months. Unfortunately this is what we started to see with BMW theft. First they targeted items inside the car, before long the cars were simply disappearing of the owners drive way. At first it deemed impossible for the immobiliser to be cracked. Before long owners home CCTV showed the theft simply smashing the window, plugging a key cloning device into the OBD port and simply unlocking the car and driving away all in under 30 seconds. Over the past 8 months, we at Secure My Car have been
working closely with a number of Audi RS owners who have had their cars broken into, stolen or are victum of the bucket seat theft.
There are a number of security risks with these cars. At the moment, gangs are operating mostly in and
around London, Essex, Northampton and Birmigham areas with hundreds of Audi RS seats are being targeted every month.

Audi seat stolen - security upgrade.

The problem with factory fitted alarms systems are that every car manufactured has the exact same system in the same place running the same technology. All it takes is an organised gang to get one of these cars in and work out, how to hack the cars ecu and clone a new key. Silence the siren and disable the sensors. So far over the past 18 months we have seen a huge increase certain areas of fords incising Focus RS and Fiesta zetecs, all the BMW range with thousands of cars stolen all across the country and now Audis mostly RS4 S4 basically anything with an S in it worth stealing.

Our Audi Viper Package includes a 2-way 2000 foot paging remote with an engine immobiliser and our all important specially designed OBD port immobilisation (To help combat key cloning) We have also upgraded the system with two sensors. Firstly a dual motion sensor with external warn away. This sensor beeps to warn anyone away from the car and covers the all important black spot in your Audis OEM alarms internal sensor. We can set this sensor to beep only if someone looks through the window minimizing false alarms. Secondly an impact sensor. This activates the alarm if the car is hit in anyway.

If you’ve ever set your factory Audi siren off, you would have heard the poor not so loud factory fitted siren. Its quiet and sounds like one of those vehicle reversing sounds the bin lorries make. The Viper siren is a much louder at 120db. it also features a fully adjustable 1-6 tone siren. (Which can also be fully programmed to just 1 tone) We can even program the alarm not to beep when you arm disarm the system making the install as OEM as possible. One customer asked us to attach the alarm to his horn. This is also possible on the Audi for extra noise factor!
|
| The problem with conventional car alarms are that to everyone else, they are just an annoying sound in the night. The only person that cares if a car alarm is sounding is the owner. That’s why we included a 2000 foot viper LED (Ghost light) pager key fob in our package. If your alarm system is activated, the pager remote will beep and flash lighting up like an Xmas tree, warning you your alarm has activated. The 2-way remote will also confirm your commands virtually instantly using brilliant flashing hidden GhostLight™ LEDs on the remote. Range is a rock solid up to 2,000 foot range, which can be upgraded to a mile range if needed. |
We now have 2 ways to control the new viper system. With Audi firmware installed onto the alarm, this system can be fully armed and disarmed using standard Audi key fob to arm and disarm the viper alarm system. When you lock the doors from your Audi remote, the viper alarm will also arm. We can also turn off the arm and disarm beeps so make the install look completly factory. This system is wired more for convience.
The second and more secure way is we can wire the new viper alarm to work completely independent through the viper remote. Once armed you won’t be able to turn off the viper or start the car even with your original Audi remote, as the viper independently immobilises your car. This way also arms/disarms your Oem audi alarm system giving you double protection. This makes any future audi key cloning technology which could be acquired by the theft in the future useless, as the car won’t start even with a factory remote or key.

Our Security Package |
| |
We have designed a package which we have used to secure hundreds of BMWs over the past 2 years. We have adapted our Viper upgrade package to now secure all Land Rover models to help prevent them being stolen. The system is designed to work completely independently to the factory system and most importantly immobilises the OBD and the engine independently making it almost impossible for the thief to steal your car with out keys. Add to this Vipers rolling code technology through its 2-way long range pager remotes. And extra motion sensors both inside and outside the car, makes our package one of the securist systems on offer today.
Video below of a typical Range Rover key programming device. It takes less than 20 seconds to program a blank key
We also offer a full Viper Smartstart package. This allows you to control your car from your smartphone through Vipers phone app. The app keeps you connected to your car, allows you to locate and protect your Audi at all times. |

We've been working on Audis now for over 17 years and have specially designed a system which we have perfected over the past 18 months. No other company in the UK offers this system as it has been put together and tested by us at SecureMyCar Ltd. We order in specialist canbus modules which work on your cars complex digital electrical system. This allows us to control all your cars electronics such as deadlocks, door pins etc digitally through the cars canbus network. This also means no Audi warranty issues as the system piggy backs on to your cars electrical system digitally. Even Audi dealerships themselves recommend you upgrade your cars security system with an aftermarket unit and/or extra security including a disc lock etc.
We've also designed an OBD port immobiliser with a bit of a tweak. This activates only when the viper alarm system is armed leaving the OBD port connected and mounted in the same place but completely immobilised. We have also fitted this system at a number of Ford authorised dealers premisses around the country. |

Our Audi car alarm - Upgrade Security package - £575 fully fitted
Audi car alarm - What you get for your money
Our Audi Viper Package includes a 2-way 2000 foot paging remote with engine immobiliser and our all important specially designed Audi OBD port immobilisation (To help combat key cloning). We have also upgraded the system with two sensors. Firstly a dual motion sensor with external warn away. This sensor beeps to warn anyone away from the car and covers the all important black spot in your Land Rovers OEM alarms internal sensor. We can set this sensor to beep only if someone looks through the window minimizing false alarms. Secondly an impact sensor. This activates the alarm if the car is hit in any way.
If you've ever set your factory Range Rover alarm off, you would have heard the poor sounding factory fitted siren. The Viper siren is much louder at 120db. It also features a fully adjustable 1-6 tone siren. (Which can also be fully programmed to just 1 tone). We can even program the alarm not to beep when you arm disarm the system making the install as OEM as possible.
2-way pager remote
The problem with conventional car alarms are that to everyone else, they are just an annoying sound in the night. The only person that cares if a car alarm is sounding is the owner. That's why we included a 2000 foot viper LED (Ghost light) pager key fob in our package. If your alarm system is activated, the pager remote will beep and flash lighting up like an christmas tree, warning you your alarm has been activated. The 2-way remote will also confirm your commands virtually instantly using brilliant flashing hidden GhostLight™ LEDs on the remote. It's range is rock solid up to 2,000 foot .
We now install all our Viper systems completely independent from the OEM system. Once armed you won't be able to deactivate the viper or start the car even with your original Audi key, as the viper independently immobilises your car. This makes any Audi key cloning or theft of keys useless. So, if you were to arm the viper alarm, then walk up to the car and open the door using your Audi key, the Viper would start to sound. If you were then to try to start the car, even with the Audi key present, the car still will not start. We can also turn off the arm and disarm beeps to make the install look completely factory.
Extra Security we offer in our upgrade package to keep your Audi from getting stolen.
With the latest key cloning threat we have specially designed an OBD port immobiliser which we include in all our Audiupgrade packages. When the alarm system is armed, the obd port is physically immobilised. The only way to open the port for communication is by using the super code Viper remote. This makes it almost impossible to program a key to your car when the alarm is installed.
Engine immobiliser
We wire an immobiliser which stops your Audi from starting when the new Viper is armed. Even if you have the cars OEM Audi key, you still wont be able to start the car. This takes care of any unauthorised key cloning whilst your car is left with a third party car cleaner or garage. If a key is programmed they still wont be able to start the car.
Every fitting is installed to the highest standard. We use Audi harness tape and the installation itself is second to none. All panels are removed and placed safely in your boot so they will not be scratched. Then every panel and screw is replaced at the end. The install is so factory and hidden you could be fooled into thinking your car came out of the factory with the system fitted.

| Enhance the security of any install with an optional glass break audio sensor, which detects tampering and breaking of the vehicle’s glass using a microphone and a microprocessor, which analyzes the frequency, intensity and timing of intrusion sounds to eliminate false alarms. Detects even “soft breaks” where the glass is shattered quietly, which might not trigger the shock sensor. The 506T adds an additional layer of protection. |
 |
Protect your vehicle with an invisible sensing field which detects moving high-density objects (including people) near your car using Radio Frequency (RF) field disturbance technology. Ideal for convertibles, or any application where zone-intrusion protection is desired. Violation of the outer field can provoke siren chirps (or a WarnAway™ message from an optional voice module) while intrusion into the inner zone will trigger the system’s siren - Included in all our Range Rover packages |
 |
The 507M Digital Tilt Sensor from Viper is ideal for protecting a vehicle from theft by detecting when the vehicle is being raised by a tow truck or lifted using a jack, in an attempt to remove the wheels or tow the vehicle. The Tilt sensor auto calibrates each time the alarm is armed, referencing the vehicle’s angle of inclination and ensuring the most accurate tilt sensing possible. The 507M is perfect for protecting vehicles with upgraded wheels and tyres. |

Years ago, when it came to getting the ultimate range on your keyless entry/remote start system there was only one sure-fire solution: put the remote to your chin and press the button (it does actually work) and hope that you’d successfully started or disarmed your vehicle from a few hundred feet away. Today, manufacturers are producing remote transmitters that feature advertised ranges of up to a mile; but even these transmitters face range limitations caused by signal interference and obstructions that decrease the effective range of the remote to just a few thousand feet. But why limit yourself to a few thousand feet of transmitting range when you can lock/unlock or start your vehicle from tens, hundreds, or even thousands of miles away? To test out the ultimate in "remote" vehicle control, we evaluated Directed Electronics latest in automotive convenience, the Viper SmartStart. With the Viper SmartStart system and an iPhone.Blackberry, or Android smartphone, you can control your vehicle from virtually anywhere you have cellular service via an easy to use smartphone-based app.
