Effective D.I.Y. Security For your Abarth 595 OR Fiat 500
Share
It is becoming common knowledge that Abarth 595 OR Fiat 500 models are among the easiest cars to steal and in record breaking quick time.
Thieves can purchase a IMMO BYPASS device quite cheaply that plugs into the OBD diagnostic port - Where A mechanic would plug in his computer to pinpoint faults with your car.
The OBD port gives access to the "brain" of the car the "ECU" where all the cars settings, and security are stored.
The IMMO BYPASS device enables Emergency Start of your car and can be bought - Unbelievably - on Amazon from as little as £20 !!
How a vehicle that seemingly should be invincible without a key to a normal adult, can be bypassed so easily and cheaply by a plug in device delivered by Amazon, is mind-blowing!
This is why as an Abarth 595 owner I decided to gather together a few quality security items to thwart thieves "plugging in" to steal your car!
Most Abarth thefts seem to be reported of this nature. Granted you will never stop someone lifting your car onto the back of a car transporter even with the most expensive alarm or immobiliser BUT investing a little bit now you are aware of the problem us owners face, could work out far less than your insurance excess - should the worst happen!
