The benefits of an anti-theft CanLock on an Audi vehicle

Model: Audi Q5 MK 2, 80A - Years 2017-2025
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let's see how the CanLock anti-theft system works on an Audi Q5: unlike traditional anti-theft systems, CanLock does not rely on radio signals, but acts directly on the vehicle's electronic system, exploiting the CAN bus network: it intervenes on the digital signal that allows the car to start, locking the engine and making it impossible to start the vehicle. It is resistant to the most common theft methods such as "relay attack", "code grabber", key duplication, and the use of OBD readers. We see that the youtuber, who tries to enter the vehicle, tries to start the vehicle without succeeding; the gears do not engage, everything is locked. To unlock it, it is necessary to have the specific key fob, which disarms the anti-theft system, allowing us to start the vehicle.
