  • Thatcham Cat 5 Tracking System Fitted in Sheffield

    Protecting Your Vehicle

    If you own an expensive vehicle you will probably require a Thatcham Cat 5 tracking system fitted in Sheffield.

    Without the keys, modern cars in Sheffield are much harder to steal and beyond the capabilities of all but the most sophisticated thief.  The criminal response has been to focus on stealing the keys in order to steal the car.  To tackle this trend of key theft Thatcham have been working with the manufacturers to develop new product. These products are state of the art with the ability for remote immobilisation, hence Cat 5.

    Features

    The main features of a Cat 5 tracking system are: Battery Back Up, 2 way communication, Street Level Mapping, Police or Licensed Security Agreement, Positional Data Store, Illegal Motion Detection, Driver Identification, Approved Secure Operating Centre, Engine Crank Inhibition and Level 1 Police Response.

    In a nutshell, the major difference between a Cat 5 and a Cat 6 tracking system is the Police Response.  Once notified that a vehicle theft has taken place, the Police can send a signal to immobilise a stolen vehicle.  This is usually done when the vehicle is stationary with the ignition off.  Once the ignition is off the vehicle will not start and the Police will already be on their way to recover the stolen vehicle.

  • Sheffield Car Audio Company Evolve Closes It’s Doors

    Where have all the Audio Specialists gone?

    Sheffield car audio company Evolve closes it's doors

    Another Sheffield car audio company Evolve closes it’s doors in Hillsborough. This highlights the costs involved in being a car audio/security specialist in Sheffield.  The major concern of most customers is whether or not the company they are paying good money to work on their pride and joy have any Public Liability Insurance to cover any mishaps or accidents.  Unfortunately most back street, mobile or one man band companies can’t afford this expense. This is putting your vehicle at risk. They don’t have any insurance cover to be working on it in the first place.  This insurance is even more essential in this day and age.  More and more vehicle manufacturers are using ‘Can Bus’ and ‘Fibre Optics’ when building their new models.

    Having come across many companies in Sheffield who profess to be professional when it comes to quoting on jobs, but when the job is done it looks and feels less than professional.  There is only one company left in Sheffield that can fulfil the needs of the customer which is Source Sounds.  They are insured to work on any vehicle and have the all important insurance in place if the need should ever arise.
