An easy way to steal a Tesla: how to protect your car

06.03.2024
Tesla cars are among the most attractive to car thieves. Experts have proven that it's quite easy to break into the passenger compartment and gain access to the controls due to vulnerabilities of Bluetooth and keyfob authorization.

To open the door, Tesla owners use a card or keyfob placed inside their smartphone. Regardless of a method, the keyfob can be read via special equipment and a smartphone. The car will be able to recognize it even if it is within several meters away from the card or keyfob.

The thief approaches the owner of a premium car at the distance of about 5 cm, intercepts and amplifies the NFC signal via a retransmission device or smartphone. Their accomplice receives the signal via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, staying next to the car, after which the accomplice breaks into the passenger compartment and drives away.

Protect your Tesla against theft with our flagship solution — the IGLA anti-theft system. It blocks the engine and other car systems programmatically via standard wiring — the CAN bus. To disarm the car, just enter the PIN code via standard buttons or provide a keyfob or a smartphone paired with IGLA.

The system helps you protect your car in a reliable way, even if your keys are stolen or the signal is intercepted. Breaking into the passenger compartment, the thief will not be able to start driving. Another unique advantage is the Anti-carjacking feature. In case of force or intimidation, the feature blocks the engine when the thief has driven away to a safe distance.

Just contact AUTHOR installation centers in your region to check if your car is compatible with IGLA. Our experts will tell you more about the anti-theft system and they'll ensure a high quality and discreet installation.
