Car alarm and vehicle security FAQ
Can't find your answer? Talk to our team.
What is the difference between a car alarm and an immobiliser?
An alarm warns you and people nearby when the vehicle is tampered with. An immobiliser stops the engine from starting without authorisation. Many owners combine both with GPS car tracking.
Is remote engine cut-off safe?
It must be used responsibly. We configure it to suit your vehicle and explain how and when it should be used so it does not create a road safety risk.
Can a car tracker help recover a stolen vehicle?
Live location can be shared with the authorities to support recovery. Recovery itself depends on how quickly the theft is reported and acted on.
Will a security system affect my warranty?
Warranty terms vary by dealer. Please check with your dealer; our technicians explain how the system is connected.
Can I manage security for several vehicles?
Yes. Multiple vehicles are managed from one TappiTrack account.
