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

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.

This revolutionary product is designed to address common issues faced by vehicle owners, offering a comprehensive solution for noise reduction, paint protection and rust prevention.
The License Plate Pad (#50941) is a specially engineered pad that fits seamlessly behind a metal license plate. Crafted with precision and quality materials, it effectively reduces noise and vibrations caused by the rattling of the license plate, ensuring a smoother and quieter driving experience for motorists.

Furthermore, the License Plate Pad offers an added layer of defense against rust. By covering the bare metal behind the license plate, it helps prevent moisture from penetrating the surface and causing corrosion, thereby extending the lifespan of the vehicle’s exterior.

Key features of the License Plate Pad include:

-Closed cell foam – will not absorb water/fluids
-Advanced noise reduction technology for a quieter ride
-Paint protection to safeguard against scratches and abrasions
-Rust prevention to prolong the life of the vehicle’s exterior
