Cody Landis, Code Zero Customs owner, related “Being on site up front with a 20 x 40 booth at the Starbird Show is always a real branding opportunity for our company. Attendees are serious automotive aftermarket enthusiasts and it’s a great way to showcase our brand, products and work to the right audience. JL Audio, Memphis Audio and Wavtech were brands we spotlighted. Our Code Zero Customs apparel also grabbed attention.”

Code Zero Customs had a show special spotlighted in the booth with other products and their custom speaker enclosure builds.

“At the Starbird shows our goal is to put our brand in front of the right crowd. Attendees ask if we are local so they can come to the store to talk about projects on their vehicle.

New Secure Push-to-Start Technology for Preventing Car Theft from Relay Attacks

Posted on February 22, 2024 by 12VoltNews in Industry.

SEATTLE, WA (02.23.24) – Firstech, the makers of Compustar and DroneMobile, is excited to announce the release of the SPTS-U, a universal security accessory for preventing car theft from relay attacks.

With the rising popularity of push-to-start ignitions, car thieves across North America are exploiting a vulnerability with these vehicles through “relay attacks”. These attacks involve amplifying the factory key’s signal to the vehicle to unlock the doors and drive the vehicle away. Security experts estimate that 96% of vehicles with push-to-start ignitions are vulnerable to these attacks.

Firstech’s new SPTS-U accessory, also known as “Secure Push-to-Start”, directly blocks relay attacks by deactivating the push-to-start button until the driver is authenticated. Authentication can only be performed by disarming the alarm with an aftermarket remote (such as Compustar) or DroneMobile App.
This universal accessory, compatible with all Firstech alarms, can be installed on any vehicle with a push-to-start ignition system. It includes a compact module with integrated relays, eliminating the need for relay hardwiring to the ignition system.

“We are proud to offer a simple but effective solution to a modern problem,” shares Firstech’s Technical Support Manager, Wade Beebe. “This small accessory presents a big upsell opportunity for all of our dealers in markets dealing with car theft.”

The SPTS-U (part #: FTI-SPTS-U-5PK) is available in a 5-pack on myFirstech.com and authorized Firstech distributors. The MSRP per item is $49.99.
