Introducing the next level in vehicle protection
The CANblu device is a digital immobilizer operating on the website for the CAN bus and the information on it. The immobilizer secures the vehicle by digitally blocking the departure by sending appropriate commands to the car’s ECU and/or BCM computers. This device very effectively protects your car against popular keyless theft.
CANblu immobilizer possibilities
Disarm using ID transmitter or smartphone
SEO CANblu is automatically disarmed when the ID transmitter or a smartphone is within the immobilizer range. If you forget the ID transmitter, you can unlock the immobilizer with a PIN code.
Use with GPS/GSM system
Connecting the device to an external system, e.g. a GPS/GSM locator, enables priority, remote car lock.
Additional security
You can additionally cut a selected circuit (e.g. a starter) in analog way using the existing 1A output.
Very small size
Thanks to its small dimensions, SEO CANblu is easy to hide in the car.
Service mode
Taking your car to be serviced? Switch on the service mode so your mechanic’s doesn’t know your PIN code.
Compatibility
SEO CANblu immobilizer supports over 700 vehicles, including passenger cars, delivery vans, electric cars and motorcycles.
Additional use of a siren
You can use the built-in 1A output to activate the siren when someone tries to start your car without unlocking the immobilizer.
Undetectable by wave analyzers
The device does not emit electromagnetic waves when it’s not connected to a phone, so it cannot be found with an electromagnetic wave scanner.
Description
The SEO CANblu is a digital immobilizer that protects a vehicle through disabling its mobility by sending the appropriate commands to the cars ECU and/or BCM controllers. The code blocking can be done by two CAN BUSes and two other 1-wire digital buses (see the appropriate installation diagrams). It’s also possible to break an electric circuit using an analog cut with a solid-state control output (1A load). As with the basic immobilizer, the SEO CANi, the CANblu is disarmed by entering a previously set code using the existing buttons in the car (PIN code). In addition to this the SEO CANblu also includes a transceiver channel, the immobilizer is disarmed when the ID transmitter or smartphone stays within its range.
The CANblu immobilizer can be connected to an external car alarm system as an additional layer of security. It can also provide extra security in cars with keyless entry and effectively protects the car from theft on a suitcase (where the thief copies the car original remote). If the device is connected to an external system, such as a GPS/GSM tracker, remote immobilization from this device will take priority over the PIN code immobilization from the CANblu. Unlike other car security systems the CANblu can be installed on electric cars, and can be used in car sharing.
So, what is Canblu you ask?
CanBus
These days, all modern vehicles, from conventional combustion-powered cars to the latest EVs, feature a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. It’s the electronic communications system that allows different parts of the vehicle to talk to each other, including the engine, the transmission and the brakes.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances and building personal area networks. In the most widely used mode, transmission power is limited to 2.5 milliwatts, giving it a very short range of up to 10 metres.
CANblu
Combines these two technologies and creates a vehicle immobilizer making the vehicle almost impossible to steal. By installing the CANBLU device into a vehicle we get to decide who may and may not drive the vehicle , this small device measuring just 53mm x 21mm x 7 mm has the ability to immobilize the vehicle.The CANBLU can also be disarmed via a key ring FOB should you wish not to use a mobile phone or in the event you lend your vehicle to someone.
So, we can prevent the vehicle form being started and driven way, what about hijack situation?
Should the vehicle be Hi-jacked the first thing they do is turn off your mobile phone , thus would intern not allow the vehicle to be started again as the Bluetooth connection between the phone and the CANBLU won’t connect.
But where is my vehicle ?
Conventional immobilizer vs CANBLU
Conventional
- Measuring 10 x a CANBLU
- Conventional 3 wire cut circuit
- Easy to find as they always under the dash
- Easy to bypass the circuits and disable
- Dead giveaway from the remote
- Can be jammed
- 20 + wires to be connected
CANblu
- Tiny in size
- Digital blocking of engine signals so no cuts
- Able to hide in many locations in the vehicle
- Can’t be jammed
- Can’t be relay attached using the keyless entry system
- Has the ability to link into the Star Trac systems
- Remote immobilization from our call centre(option)
- 4-5 wires connection
Approvals
CANBLU is approved in Europe by the following manufactures, and we are in talks locally to get those approvals carried over to South Africa.
With the European manufactures approving the products it gives huge scope for fitment here in South Africa opening the door to some of the most popular models in terms of sales and theft.
