BT redcare is entering the vehicle-security market by launching the first system combining Bluetooth wireless technology, advanced car electronics and satellite navigation to fight vehicle theft.
BT redcare auto-txt is one of the first vehicle-security products to be awarded the new industry Category five standard, launched by Thatcham on 27 September, to combat the rise in car thefts using the owner's key.
Developed with RDM Automotive, BT redcare auto-txt uses the latest in tracking technology to enable the fast recovery of stolen vehicles.
The system monitors and tracks a vehicle in order to identify when it is moved without authorisation.
It is the first to use Bluetooth technology so that the car driver can activate the system independently of the car key.
