17 Jan 2025 0 comments
Nemesis 2 CAN Immobiliser vs. Track Manager S5+: Choosing the Right Vehicle Security - I Track Direct

Protecting Your Vehicle: Nemesis 2 CAN Immobiliser vs. Track Manager S5+

With vehicle theft rates on the rise, choosing the right security for your vehicle is more critical than ever. Two standout systems in the market are the Nemesis 2 CAN Immobiliser and the Track Manager S5+. While both offer robust protection, they each cater to different priorities and are suited to different types of owners. Here’s a thorough comparison to help you decide which option is the best fit for your needs.

Nemesis 2 CAN Immobiliser: The Invisible Shield

The Nemesis 2 CAN Immobiliser is specifically designed to combat modern vehicle theft, particularly targeting methods like key cloning and relay attacks. This high-tech immobiliser integrates with your vehicle's CAN bus system and prevents the engine from starting without a unique PIN. This PIN is entered using buttons already in your vehicle, creating an invisible and seamless layer of security.

Key Features:

  • PIN-Based Security: Your vehicle cannot start without the correct PIN, even if the thief has your keys.
  • Covert Installation: The device is hidden inside the car’s wiring, making it incredibly difficult for thieves to locate or bypass.
  • Protection Against Modern Techniques: Designed to defeat methods like key cloning, relay attacks, and modern digital hacks.
  • Expandable Options: Can be combined with optional GPS tracking systems for enhanced peace of mind.

Track Manager S5+: Advanced Tracking and Recovery

The Track Manager S5+ is a Thatcham Insurance Approved GPS tracking system with a broad suite of features. It was designed for owners who want both prevention and a strong recovery system if their vehicle is ever taken. Alongside real-time location tracking, it also provides immobilisation through driver ID tags. The system monitors your vehicle and notifies owners instantly via a smartphone app if suspicious activity is detected.

Key Features:

  • Thatcham S5 Approved: Meets strict UK standards for high security. Insurance companies often recognize and reward this approval with lower premiums.
  • Real-Time GPS Tracking: Monitor your vehicle 24/7 through an app, receiving real-time updates and alerts.
  • Driver ID Tags and Immobilisation: The engine won’t start unless the authorized ID tag is present, providing an additional safeguard against theft.
  • Remote Control: In the event of theft, the system can remotely immobilise the engine to help law enforcement recover the vehicle.
  • 24/7 Monitored Support: A control center monitors the vehicle and can contact you and authorities if your car is moved or tampered with.

Choosing the Right Security System

Both systems significantly reduce the risk of theft, but cater to slightly different needs:

  • Choose Nemesis 2 CAN Immobiliser if you want strong, preventative protection that actively prevents thieves from ever moving your vehicle. Its secret PIN approach, invisible wiring, and ability to pair with trackers make it a superb choice for stopping theft before it ever happens.

  • Choose Track Manager S5+ if you prefer a system that not only stops unauthorized use, but also offers the ability to locate and recover your vehicle in the event of a theft. Its Thatcham S5 approval and driver ID tag make it a solid long-term investment, especially if you want added benefits like reduced insurance premiums and 24/7 peace of mind.

Special January Sale: Nemesis 2 at £399.99

For a limited time this January, the Nemesis 2 CAN Immobiliser is available for just £399.99 (down from the regular £429.99). This is an excellent opportunity to upgrade your vehicle’s security at a reduced price, and with advancements in theft methods, there’s never been a better time to invest in your protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I install these systems myself?
No. Both the Nemesis 2 CAN Immobiliser and the Track Manager S5+ require professional installation for effective integration and proper function.

2. Do these systems protect against key cloning and relay attacks?
Yes. The Nemesis 2 CAN Immobiliser is especially effective against these techniques as every start attempt requires the PIN. The Track Manager S5+ requires the presence of an authorized driver tag, making a cloned or relayed key alone useless.

3. Can I combine the Nemesis 2 with tracking?
Absolutely. The Nemesis 2 can be bundled with several GPS tracking solutions, giving you both preventative and recovery security.

4. What types of vehicles are compatible?
Both systems can be installed on a broad range of vehicles, including cars, vans, and motorcycles. Always check compatibility before ordering.

5. How do I purchase?
You can purchase either system directly through I Track Direct, with the Nemesis 2 discounted for the January sale.

6. Why is Thatcham Approval important?
Thatcham Approval means a security device has passed strict, independent testing and is recognized by insurers for its effectiveness, often making you eligible for lower insurance premiums.
