Sanji is a leader in the automotive industry, specializing in Personal Pin Keypad systems, and has successfully exported these systems to overseas markets for many years. OEM Vehicles Many new vehicles come standard with keyless entry, which offers users great ease of use, but this has also opened the door to new methods of stealing vehicles with ease. • Most vehicles with Keyless Entry functionality are susceptible to a relay attack where thieves can easily start your car and drive away in seconds. • These days, thieves can easily steal many ‘keyless entry’ vehicle brands by simply learning a new remote via the OBD port. • You can start the vehicle as long as you have the deactivating device (usually the vehicle key transponder). • No protection is available against driver mugging, vehicle key theft, or even vehicle hijacking. • Thieves can easily hotwire most vehicles. Vehicle Tracking Vehicle tracking systems often suffer from weak early warning signals, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the devices. The time taken to report the stolen vehicle is relative to the recovery success rate. The quicker the stolen vehicle information and location are relayed to the control room, the better the vehicle's chance of recovery. South African thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and in many cases, can hotwire and disable many brands of vehicle tracking systems in a matter of minutes. The Solution Sanji new ZX40KPW requires the user to enter a personal four-digit code before starting the vehicle. The system is highly effective as a standalone immobilizer system or as an early warning signal for a tracking and recovery system. The keypad is manufactured to the highest quality standards and is very user-friendly and easy to use. A built-in beeper gives the driver audible feedback of commands, and the keypad is backlit for easy nighttime operation. Technology Sanji developed a new technology that enables communication between the keypad and the immobilizer module without the need for installing communication wires. The Sanji ZX40KPW utilizes the vehicle's existing wiring for communication, making the system more secure compared to similar wired systems. If the thief cannot find the immobilizer module, he cannot override it. The ZX40KPW immobilizer module is compact and ideal for discreet installation. This new technology was developed in preference to regular RF (Radio Frequency) to eliminate potential interference from outside sources, thus improving the system's reliability. The satellite immobilizer unit works up to 140 °C. It is housed in a water-resistant housing, making it suitable for installation in the engine compartment should the need arise. The unit is 100% South African design and manufactured to ISO 9001 standards in Sanji's Kyalami factory. The ZX40KPW is the first personal keypad product to be awarded VESA (Vehicle Security Association of South Africa) approval. The Sanji ZX40KPW is highly effective. • It protects vehicles with keyless entry systems against relay attack. • It protects the vehicle against OBD new key learning attack. • It protects the vehicle against engine ECU swopping. • It enhances the security of high-risk vehicles. • It is low-cost. • It improves the Tracking and Recovery systems' response time. • It reduces vehicle theft due to key theft, muggings, and vehicle hijacking.
