High popularity of Toyota Land cruiser Prado among motorists is due to reliability, power and ease of maintenance. Toyota Land Cruiser prado is in the TOP-20 of the most stolen foreign cars in Russia.
Consider the process of the most likely way to steal a given vehicle.
Weakness of the standard protection system.
First of all, the car thief will need to open the car doors. Pushing back the protection of the left front wheel, it finds the wires of the diagnostic CAN bus and, using clothespins, connects a special device to deactivate standard alarm... Very often, car thieves use an alternative method - to gain access to the salon, they break the glass. As a rule, professionals simultaneously use satellite signal suppression devices.
To protect Toyota Land Cruiser Prado doors from burglary, we recommend installing door locks.
UniLock Expert Door lock from 10500 rubles. Price with installation
Reinforced version of the UniLock brand door lock. Differs from the standard model by using additional protective elementspreventing quick deactivation of the lock under external influences after cutting through the outer metal door trim a
To control door blockers are used:
Pandora Expert RUB 39,900 Price with installation
Telematics security system with cloud service and tag authorization. Unique digital engine blocking. Integrated 2xCAN, LIN, keyless autostart - CLONE technology, built-in and remote GSM antenna
To protect glass from burglary, our specialists use armor films for installation.
In addition, to protect devices and interlocks in engine compartment should install electromechanical locks hood with protection against cutting and twisting of pins (for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, two locks are desirable).
ECU and key certification block protection.
After entering the car interior, the intruder partially disassembles the panels in order to get to the standard key certification unit. Disconnects the block connectors, takes out the board and, using clothespins, connects a special device for registering new keys.
If the car does not start after that, then with a high degree of probability an additional security system with engine blocking is installed. A professional car thief has in his arsenal an electromagnetic field indicator used to search for antennas or radio-emitting modules. With the help of this device it determines the location of additional security modules. Having disassembled panels and other interior elements, the attacker dismantles the modules. It finds the engine blocking circuit through the wires from the disabled security system and bridges the relay contacts. After that, the engine starts and the car is driven into a sump.
In order to avoid replacing the electronic control unit and the key certification unit, which are located under the glove box inside the car, we recommend installing protective steel safes.
In case of visiting a service for maintenance emergency security system should be transferred to service mode to prevent preparation for theft.
To enhance the protection of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado car we advise you to install a security and search beacon.
The device is secretly installed in the car and works exclusively in stand-alone mode without connections to the standard systems of the car. The beacon is designed to detect a car in the event of theft or evacuation. It is almost impossible to detect it with special device - field analyzer, because is in "sleep" mode and at a certain time connects to the server, transmitting service information about the location of the car to the owner's smartphone.
Toyota Prado is one of the most demanded cars on secondary market... As, however, and many other models from Toyota Motor Corporation, including Lexus. That is why, when buying a car from hand, you need to be especially careful not to buy a stolen car. And those who purchase it in the salon must definitely install additional protection from theft on the Prado.
Prado protection against theft
Some are limited to CASCO and the installation of a satellite search system, the installation of which is required when taking out insurance. The owners are counting on a refund, but they forget that only part of the damage will be compensated. It can take quite a long time for this to happen.
The demand for this car is so high that it can be classified as one of the most criminal off-road vehicles not only in Russia, but also in neighboring countries. Statistics show that one Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is stolen on the territory of the Russian Federation per day.
This indicates that not everything is in order with the protection of the Prado from theft. The intruders found the key to the factory security system and successfully “break” additional car alarms produced by conveyor belts.
By using an inexpensive device, you can bypass Prado's anti-theft protection. The most vulnerable spot is the CAN bus and the diagnostic connector. In addition, it is possible to apply other hacking methods.
Undoubtedly, it is impossible to argue that the protection against theft of the Cruiser 200 has remained at the same level as the previous 150 model. Certain efforts by the Japanese concern towards increasing protection have been made. But, as statistics show, they are not effective enough.
Reliable protection against theft
In order to be sure that the car is as protected as possible, you need to choose the right anti-theft system for the Prado. It is recommended to immediately exclude replicated factory security systems... They are not a serious obstacle to thieves. It is better to choose an exclusive option. These include the author's anti-theft systems ASPID.
Our specialists have been working with japanese cars... During this time, we have equipped a large number of Toyota, including Prado, with copyright anti-theft systems. Have studied weak spots car, each time developing a new installation algorithm electronic locks and a central control unit. Therefore, the author's anti-theft complex the Prado works most efficiently and defies even the most skilled kidnappers.
Steering shaft blocker The screen for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 2009 is a mechanical anti-theft device installed on 90% of all cars.
Blocks the rotation of the steering shaft and prevents the steering wheel from turning. When the lock is installed, the wheels do not turn and the car can only drive straight back and forth. Or sideways back and forth if the wheels are turned out before installing the blocker. It is not possible to drive a car with an installed bollard.
The bollard consists of two parts: the body is permanently fixed to the steering shaft and the bollard itself, which is inserted and fixed in the body. It is the blocker installed in the body that, when attempting to steal, will rest against the pedals or the car body and will not allow the wheels to turn. In normal times, when a car is moving or in a parking lot, the housing attached to the steering shaft does not interfere with the control in any way. Does not touch with either feet or hands. The likelihood of the steering wheel jamming when driving is completely excluded by the very design of the blocker, because the housing located on the steering shaft is specially designed to exclude the possibility of steering lock without an installed lock.
During the entire production period of the Zaslon and Interception-Universal blockers, there were no cases of jamming of the steering wheel while driving.
Also, for all the time there was not a single claim from car dealers to remove the car from the warranty due to the installation of Zaslon or Intercept-Universal blockers.
The housing is a split structure that encloses the rudder shaft. The body has a cavity for installing the bollard. In this cavity, there are screws for fastening the housing to the steering wheel shaft, access to which is blocked by a blocker installed in place. And in the absence of a key, it will be possible to open the lock only with the use of a noisy cutting tool type "grinder".
The device is locked in one motion, easily and quickly, by installing the lock with the gripping part inside the body and slightly turning it around its axis. You do not need a key to close.
The lock is easy to use, arming and disarming is carried out in one movement. With further operation, the anti-theft device is installed and removed in a few seconds, sitting in the driver's seat and leaning forward. The skill of "blind" arming / disarming is developed within 1-2 days. And in a few days it will be as easy for you as starting the car.
To check if you need a mechanical anti-theft device, you can answer the following questions:
1. Is the car parked in an unsecured parking lot at night? (A guarded parking lot is also not a panacea, but it is much better than a courtyard parking lot, even if it is equipped with a barrier. Opening the barrier is not a problem, and the presence of records of thefts from courtyards on the Internet confirms this. , well, put this video on the Internet.)
2. Periodically leave your car for several hours near work, hypermarkets, cinemas?
3. The car is at risk of theft: Lada 2114, Toyota Corolla, Ford focus, Mazda3, Lada priora (sedan), Toyota Camry, Kia rio, Hyundai solaris, Lada Granta, Lada 2110, Renault Logan, Toyota Land Cruiser 200, Toyota RAV4, Lada Priora (hatchback), Daewoo nexia, Lada 2115, Lada 4 × 4, Toyota Land Cruiser, Mazda6, Mitsubishi lancer, Renault Sandero, Nissan teana, Renault Duster, Range rover Evoque?
4. Has an auto-start alarm been installed on a car with a standard immobilizer?
5. Is there an “old” alarm or something from inexpensive, if only there was an autostart?
6. The car has a standard Webasto or an analogue and you do not see the point in an alarm, but you want additional protection against theft?
7. Have you bought a car recently and constantly wake up at night checking if it is there?
8. Have you heard many times about the history of car theft during the time the owner was going home in the elevator and now entering the house look out the window to check if the car is in place?
9. Your car is dear to you and you have no idea what you will do if it is stolen and when you can save up for another one?
The more questions you answered in the affirmative, the more a mechanical anti-theft device is recommended for installation on your car. And if you answered yes to 7, 8 or 9 questions, then the mechanical anti-theft device installed on your car, in addition to protecting it from theft, will save you nerves and return a restful sleep.
There are, of course, counter arguments against mechanical car theft protection.
1. If they want to steal, they will still steal.
- Probably this phrase has appeared since the time of the film “Beware of the car” and the confrontation between Yuri Detochkin and Maxim Podberezovikov. She is both faithful and not. Those. of course, if the prototype of Yuri Detochkin wants to fight against those living on unearned income, then he will arrive in a tow truck (which he will also hijack beforehand), or maybe even arrive by helicopter and steal a car... But in fact, such cars are abandoned. Because for half an hour no one will cut a mechanical anti-theft device on the street with a grinder, and hijacking with a tow truck is too noticeable and involves a great risk of the tow truck being confiscated. Besides, when there are a bunch of unprotected machines, why take risks and waste your time on a protected one?
2. I have a CASCO, I'm not afraid of anything.
- Periodically, there are cases when at first a person wants to purchase a mechanical anti-theft device, and after a while he reports that he has issued a CASCO and does not need a mechanical anti-theft device. The irony is that among those who purchase mechanical anti-theft devices there are people whose car was previously insured under CASCO, and after that it was stolen. Nerves and a lot of wasted time and money are not worth saving on car protection.
3. The probability of theft is too small and I will be carried over. I mean, my car won't be stolen.
- Yes, according to statistics, the probability of theft is not great. But can this really be a consolation to a person whose car was stolen? One client's acquaintances had two family cars stolen during the night. One of the clients installed a mechanical anti-theft device on the recommendation of a friend who had cars stolen three times. One client previously had a car stolen from a guarded garage at a military base with access control. The likelihood of all these cases was minimal, but they did happen. In addition, most cars are subject to rapid electronic hacking and having an unprotected car, you need to be aware that at any moment it can be stolen in a few minutes. And they steal everything and new lexus and old right-hand drive Toyota and Honda.
Therefore, for the safety of your car and nerves, we recommend that you install a mechanical anti-theft device Steering shaft blocker Barrier.
Due to the change in the design of the clutch, it is suitable for a larger number of vehicles, which previously could not be fitted with blockers: Toyota Altezza, Mitsubishi outlander 2014, Mitsubishi ASX and others. Also, due to the change in the design of the coupling, the device is fixed more reliably, and the possibility of its rotation on thin round solid shafts and round hollow shafts is excluded. (For example Toyota Camry 2006-2011, LandCruiser 200 2008-2015).
Product material: stainless steel 20X13
Working temperature range of the product: from - 40 to +50 C.
The number of secret code combinations: at least 1,000,000.
Coupling weight: 750 gr.
Blocker weight: 850 gr.
5-year warranty.
The kit includes:
-Blocker
-Housing mounted on the steering shaft
-Two keys
All keys are unique to each other. And it is impossible to open another blocker with a key from one blocker.
Also, we draw your attention to the fact that now is the best time to purchase a mechanical anti-theft device Steering shaft blocker Barrier. After all, it used to cost $ 200, but now you can purchase it for a little over $ 100. ;)
The product is certified by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and patented.
Anti-theft device Zaslon does not require maintenance during operation and special maintenance.
Car theft Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.
1. At a low cost, up to 0.3% of the cost of the car. A mechanical blocker increases the car's protection against theft by an order of magnitude.
2. Most likely, the blocker will fit all your following cars... And if you want, you can rearrange it yourself.
3. The guarantee for the blocker is 5 years. If you divide the cost of the blocker by 5 years of warranty operation, it turns out that your car receives powerful mechanical protection against theft for 4 rubles. 11 kopecks. in a day. Although there is every reason that it will easily last more than 10-20 years.
4. If, however, you want to save a little, then you can install the blocker yourself. Or choose the Intercept-Universal blocker - it costs 7000 rubles.
But first things first...
The standard immobilizer for both the previous (120) and the currently produced (150) model is located in the so-called E.B.U block ( the electronic unit management, or in common parlance "brains"). The E.B.U unit, in turn, is located in the nearest access, behind the glove box, and only in the 200th model has a connector outlet to the engine compartment
The location of the ECU block on cars with a body of 120 (for the 150th in the same place):
There are several ways in which the hijackers have adapted to "deactivate" the stock immobilizer ...
Method number 1: Physical replacement of the standard E.B.U unit with a similar one, but previously "modified", with the immobilizer disabled ...
In this version, the hijackers quickly remove the standard unit, since, as I already wrote, it is located in the nearest availability - behind the glove box (even no tool is needed), and they install their own in its place, after which the engine can be started without a standard chip key ... It is enough just to break (drill) the steering lock ... By the way, the ignition lock is deactivated by the hijackers quite simply ... In a certain place of the lock, a hole with a diameter of 5 mm is drilled (the lock case is made of silumin, which is drilled like "oil") after which the "pins" of the lock simply fall into the drilled hole and the lock can be turned even with a fingernail ...
The second option for deactivating the lock is to turn it with a powerful roll. And since the body, as I wrote, is silumin, both it and the pin that locks the steering wheel breaks.
Photo of the "drilled" Toyota Camry car lock (the locks are absolutely identical with the Prado 120, just installed in different places):
Method number 2: even easier than the first ... To disable standard immobilizer a simple scanner is used, which is connected to the diagnostic connector, after which, using the original toyota program, the standard immobilizer is entered into the service mode and does not require a transponder (the so-called BackDoor function in the system in case of losing a native chip key ...)
There are many opinions on this matter, including from various "Internet gurus" on this topic. But periodic reports from the Police say that the hijackers still use the diagnostic connector. No wonder, because this connector comes with the car's CAN bus and a single-wire communication bus with the immobilizer
In the end, in case of a failed attempt at hijacking, attackers can simply remove and carry with them an expensive ECU block, at least something in order to sell. A car "without brains" will not be able to start, and the victim of the hijackers will have to buy an expensive unit, which will most likely have to wait to order.
Increasing the burglary resistance of a standard immobilizer, method No. 1.
We propose to use a special protective casing, which is worn over the coveted block, protects the standard connectors from unauthorized disconnection and is attached to the standard body attachment points using shear bolts and nuts, which in turn do not allow removing this protection using a standard tool. It is certainly possible to drill out (cut down) the tear-off fasteners, but this process is quite noisy (100% will attract attention to itself) and requires a certain amount of time ... which the hijackers may not have ...)
Protective cover for E.B.U unit Toyota prado 120:
In the established form:
Protective cover for the E.B. unit in the TLC-200 car in the installed form:
The casing is painted with a special anti-corrosion paint. Its body is designed in such a way that it does not interfere with nearby standard units, closing the lid glove box and block cooling.
Increasing the burglary resistance of a standard immobilizer, method No. 2
To prevent the hijackers from deactivating the stock immobilizer through the diagnostic connector (in Toyota Prado and LC-200 cars, it is located above the driver's feet), we offer the following solution:
Instead of a standard connector, a connector of a different shape is installed. And for the user, in order to be able to use the diagnostic connector for its intended purpose, a special adapter is made, on one side of which there is a counterpart to the connector non-standard installed in the car, and on the other a standard diagnostic connector.
Since there are three times more "pins" on the alternative connector than there are wires suitable for the standard connector, it is possible, without adhering to a single installation scheme, to organize wiring soldering to arbitrary "pins" each time. Thus, ensuring the uniqueness of each adapter!
This is what the standard connector looks like ...
Adapter:
Modified connector:
Warning the questions of skeptics: "Why can't you ring the wires?" I answer: "You can, but you need to call, spend unplanned time on this, and the mating part of the connector with protruding" dads "is extremely inconvenient for this and from an uncomfortable position. This will take much more time than just plugging the plug into the outlet, why hijacker is initially prepared "
As a comparison, for example, with all known Technoblock systems, which impose on the owners insurance companies: deactivated in seconds with the help of side cutters, stand with installation of almost 40 thousand, then the converted diagnostic connector costs only 3500 thousand turnkey, but it can take much longer time. Accordingly, the cost-utility ratio for this operation is much higher.
In the revision of diagnostic connectors, high-quality equipment (connectors) manufactured at a defense enterprise is used.
By the way, another significant advantage of the diagnostic connector refinement is the fact that without the owner's knowledge (for example, when going through maintenance), “dishonest” servicemen will not be able to register another key into the system (without the owner's knowledge)! Accordingly, when passing MOT, if on dashboard no errors are displayed, then it is also not worth providing servicemen with an adapter for connecting to the diagnostic connector. For in the absence of errors and without your wish, no one will waste time diagnosing a serviceable car ...))
Looking ahead, I will say that Toyota dealers (in terms of maintaining the car warranty) react to this revision (and to all the others presented in this topic) absolutely sanely ... Since they understand its relevance in relation to the Toyota brand.
Increasing the burglary resistance of a standard immobilizer, method No. 3: Protection of the Toyota Prado / LC / RAV-4 key certification unit
In the arsenal of hijackers, in addition to the standard ones today, the so-called. "Jammers" of radio signals, without which, due to the spread of satellite and cellular systems for tracking the car, not a single hijacking can do, all kinds of lock picks, scanners, "radio extenders" for Keyless signals, it is still popular to replace the main standard vehicle units responsible for engine operation and anti-theft functionsinstalled at the manufacturing plant. For example, the simple replacement of the engine control unit (ECU) with an unlocked and brought with them, which has been popular with hijackers for several decades now, against which our company has long been using the protection-ECU casing. But today, due to the spread of Keyless Entry systems ( keyless access), there is one more "loophole" for the so-called. "Sewing additional keys" in the car. A stand-alone module, the so-called "Certification unit", is responsible for recognizing the "friend or foe" key-tag in Toyota family cars of the last years of production. It is installed, for example, on toyota car LandCruiser in the nearest access (behind the glove compartment), which in our case, just plays into the hands of the owner. In a few seconds, the hijackers take out the module, open it, connect to the microcircuit in which the codes of the regular keys are written and simply reflash its memory, writing another key into the car. After that, the car starts up normally, all engine locks begin to work to enable its operation, the steering wheel is unlocked, etc. That is, the machine understands that it has its own key in the antenna coverage area. And if not installed any additional systems security, the car simply leaves in an unknown direction.
To protect the owner of Toyota LC from such atrocities, SOUNDSPEED has developed a set of measures to protect standard equipment from villainous attacks, one of which is the steel protection of the key recognition module, which locks the module in a safe with shear nuts, after which access to the module becomes extremely difficult.
As mentioned above, Prado's "glove compartment" is removed in half a minute, after which the coveted certification block is exposed in all its glory, so to speak ...))
Extract the certification block from your seat even easier ...))
Here it is ...
And this is what the protection looks like, preventing quick access to the block ...
LC-200 Key Certification Unit Protection
Let us consider the situation of a potential attempt to steal such a most popular car as the Toyota Land Cruiser 200. In addition to the standard ones today, the so-called. "Jammers" of radio signals, without which, due to the spread of satellite and cellular tracking systems for the car, not a single hijacking can do, all kinds of master keys, scanners, "radio extenders" for Keyless signals, it is still popular to replace the main standard vehicle units responsible for engine operation and anti-theft functions provided by the manufacturer. For example, the simple replacement of the engine control unit (ECU) with an unlocked and brought with them, which has been popular with hijackers for several decades now, against which our company has long been using the protection-ECU casing. But today, due to the proliferation of Keyless Entry systems (keyless access), there is another "loophole" for the so-called. "Sewing additional keys" in the car. A stand-alone module, the so-called "Certification unit", is responsible for recognizing the "friend or foe" key-tag in Toyota family cars of recent years of production. It is installed, for example, on a TLC-200 car in the nearest access, which in our case just does not play into the hands of the owner. The hijackers simply take out the module in a few seconds, open it, connect to a microcircuit in which the codes of the regular keys are recorded and simply reflash the EEPROM memory, writing another key into the car. After that, the car starts up normally, all engine locks begin to work to permit its operation, the steering wheel is unlocked, etc. That is, the machine understands that it has its own key in the antenna coverage area. And if no additional security systems are installed, the car simply drives off in an unknown direction.
To protect the owner of the 200 from such atrocities, SOUNDSPEED has developed a set of measures to protect standard equipment from villainous encroachments, one of which is the steel protection of the key recognition module, which locks the module in a safe with shear nuts, after which access to the module becomes extremely difficult.
The key (tag) certification block for the LC-200 is located on the right (below) at the steering column ...
As a matter of fact, this is how the protective steel casing of the certification unit looks like and the "tear-off" fasteners of this casing ...
The protective cover is put on over the certification block and is attached to two standard threaded rods with shear nuts ...
Protective cover installed ...
The cost of a protective casing with installation - RUB 5.200
And one more development of our auto center, aimed this time at increasing the burglar resistance of the standard anti-theft system of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200.
Having analyzed from time to time the repeated attempts of the hijackers (in our case, thank God, unsuccessful) to deactivate the standard anti-theft system, we came to the conclusion that it is quite easy to disable regular protection, having reached the wiring harness located in the rear right fender ... In the same wing (or rather, a little higher, on the pillar) there is also a signal receiver unit remote control... The hijackers actually need this block, however, unlike other toyotas (for example, Camry V40 and V50), without breaking the rear right side glass (and it is pasted in by the way), it is difficult to get to it (by the way, just in case, we also transfer it to another place!)) ... But, as it has become fashionable to say, "Russia just cannot be defeated" and the hijackers found "another door "... Above the gas tank flap, with the help of a crown and a cordless screwdriver, a hole is made through which it becomes possible to reach the wiring harness, in which, among others, there is wiring going to the coveted block ...
Well, then everything is simple ... Needles are stuck into these wires, on which, on the other hand, exactly the same block is connected, which the hijackers brought with them ... It remains only to give the command to open from their mark ...
Well, a small hole, at the time of theft, you can simply glue it with a piece of film in the body color ... Unlike broken glass, this option certainly will not attract attention ... And then ... To close up and paint over such a hole locally is not difficult. ..
As a matter of fact, the development of nothing extraordinary is not of itself ... For we are talking only about a structure made of a steel corner, the shape and attachment points of which are made for the geometry of the body in such a way that, in addition to its direct purpose, it does not interfere with the skin to the OEM subwoofer ...
The wiring harness on the wing side is completely covered with a corner. It is also not possible to pull out the wiring harness from the structure, since specially provided projections will protect from this ... And the case of a regular subwoofer will seriously complicate this work ...
Modified April 26, 2014 by SoundspeedToyota Land Cruiser Prado is one of the most hijacked and most popular models among attackers in toyota line, especially if you compare the number of thefts with the number of cars sold and their price.
If you toyota owner Land Cruiser Prado or are going to become one, look at the information presented, it will not be superfluous!
Bought Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - install anti-theft systems
As soon as you have a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (new or used, it doesn't matter), you must hurry to install additional equipment and protection systems on it; alarms, GPS trackers, radio tags and much more, for which there is enough money left over from buying a car or follow the advice of the security advisor who has always been trusted, most motorists do this. If you are a savvy car enthusiast, then you will not install all the protection systems in one place, you will entrust this work to different masters and car services.
Most car owners do not even think about the fact that in any of the car services, in any workshop, at any, even the most famous master or car dealer, the first stage of preparation for theft can begin.
