VEHICLE SECURITY

SHIELD YOUR KEY , PROTECT YOUR CAR

» KEYSHIELD , manufacturer of an ultra-slim intelligent security device , has joined Secured by Design ( SBD ).
British engineered and manufactured , KEYSHIELD wraps around the key battery , with no impact to functionality or external appearance . A simple , one-time setup that offers lasting protection without the daily hassle of faraday pouches & steering locks – an effective ‘ Fit &
Forget ’ solution to key cloning and relay theft .
KEYSHIELD fits all car key batteries , ensuring universal compatibility with all makes and models . Its advanced motion sensor technology disables the key ’ s battery power after 20
seconds of inactivity , preventing unnecessary signal transmission when not in use . Applying motion reactivates battery power and key signal , allowing functionality as normal .
Dan Bulman , KEYSHIELD , said : “ KEYSHIELD was
developed following our own unfortunate experiences of relay theft , and the realisation that existing products , such as faraday pouches , did not provide effective protection against signal interception .
“ Having the support of SBD reinforces KEYSHIELD as not only meeting recognised security standards , but also as a proven ability to prevent relay theft as a cause of car crime - Shield Your Key , Protect Your Car .”
