What Is an Anti-Theft System?

All modern cars come with a form of anti-theft system that protects them from thieves. The part that will prevent your vehicle from starting without the proper devices is called an electronic immobilizer anti-theft system. These immobilizers have been in use since 1998 and are the standard protection for any vehicle. According to the Economic Journal, this new car aspect has helped to reduce car theft by nearly 40%.

What Triggers the Deterioration of the Anti-Theft System in a Car? 

Similar to many other car parts, as you put years and miles on your car you may notice that your car's anti-theft system is not functioning like it used to. Some common reasons for this include:

•  Memory loss of the key due to a dead battery

•  Dead remote control battery

•  Damages on the immobilizer chip

•  Damages on the car door lock
