When it comes to the safety of your vehicle, you can never be too careful.
In 2022, the DVLA received reports of over 61,100 stolen cars, compared to 48,493 in the previous year, which represents a 26% increase. It is frightening to see such a vast number of car thefts. Nobody wants to wake up to discover they have been robbed of their car. You never know which vehicle the thieves will target next.
Hence, we recommend investing in a Pandora car alarm to protect your vehicle from thieves and hackers.
But exactly where are Pandora car alarms made? Well, we will answer this question in this article, and explain how the Pandora car alarm will keep your vehicle safe and secure.
What is a Pandora car alarm?
The Pandora Alarm is one of the best anti-theft devices that you can buy for your car. It is more than simply a car alarm!
Pandora is renowned for being one of the most advanced and experienced car alarm manufacturers in the world. Their products use the very best technology to protect your car from threats and guarantee safety.
The Pandora Alarm is fitted with the strongest immobilization possible; it comes with a minimum of two immobilisers. These are electronic devices that keep the engine completely immobilised, preventing the car from starting without the correct key or fob.
According to Pandora engineers, it will be almost 20 years before the technology exists which can crack the encryption of this alarm. That is great news for car enthusiasts who wish to keep their prized possession out of the hands of car thieves.
What’s more, Pandora Alarms are not just about security. From your smartphone or any of your handheld devices, you can change your car’s settings, adjust sensors or view status information such as battery voltage.
No matter where you are in the world, you can use your Pandora Alarm to control your vehicle – in case you need to arm or disarm it, immobilize it or remotely start it.
How does the Pandora car alarm protect your vehicle from keyless entry?
Pandora car alarms provide fantastic protection against keyless car theft.
Keyless car theft (also known as relay theft) is a highly advanced method deployed by criminals who have access to sophisticated technology.
What happens is that criminals can steal a vehicle, without even using the owner’s car keys. All they need is a high-tech electronic device to copy the signal which is emitted from the owner’s car keys, while the car is parked outside the house.
After copying the signal from the keys, the criminals can then command the car engine into starting, because the vehicle believes that the real car keys are present. The criminals can then drive the car away, almost silently, in as little as 60 seconds.
So, what happens if a thief tries to tamper with a car that has a Pandora car alarm installed?
If a thief tries to steal your vehicle by using the wrong key or fob, the Pandora Alarm activates the immobiliser, which tells the engine not to start. Even if the Pandora Alarm is somehow removed, your vehicle will remain immobile.
As you can see, the Pandora Alarm is one of the only security systems which adequately protects against the scariest, high-tech methods employed by professional thieves.
Can thieves disable a Pandora car alarm?
Nope, there is no easy way of getting around a Pandora car alarm.
Everything in a Pandora Alarm uses 128-bit encryption. This prevents code-grabbing or relay boosting, so there is superior security all around, with no easy way around the system.
Where are Pandora car alarms made?
So, where are Pandora car alarms made?
Pandora car alarms are developed and manufactured by a privately owned electronics company in the industrial city of Kaluga in western Russia.
Founded in 2004, the company prides itself by combining traditionally reliable soviet engineering with cutting-edge technology, to draft ingenious electronic designs.
More than 700 workers are employed at the Pandora factory in Kaluga, where there is a production line and departments for microelectronics production, robotics, mass circuit manufacturing, robots for final assembly, foundries, processing, painting, and more.
