Top 5 Signs Your Vehicle Is at Risk of Theft

Think car theft is random? Think again. Thieves scout vehicles that are easy to steal, easy to resell, or rich in valuable parts. If your car meets any of the following criteria, it could be a top target:

1. Push-to-Start Ignition Systems: These systems are convenient but vulnerable. Thieves exploit them using relay devices to mimic the key fob signal and gain silent access to your car.
2. Regularly Parked in Unsecured or Dimly Lit Areas: Street parking, underground lots, or driveways without motion lighting offer thieves low-visibility opportunities.
3. High-Value or High-Demand Models: Vehicles such as trucks, SUVs, and luxury sedans are commonly targeted due to their high resale demand or valuable parts.
4. Lack of Visible Security Measures: Cars without dash cams, warning stickers, blinking lights, or audible alarms appear unprotected and are often prioritized by thieves.
5. Exposed OBD-II Ports: Once inside, many thieves plug into your vehicle’s OBD-II port to program a new key and drive away. It takes less than two minutes.

KēZ directly addresses each of these vulnerabilities by requiring active driver authentication for ignition and sending instant alerts for tampering or unauthorized access. With KēZ, your vehicle is no longer a soft target.
