Real-Time Monitoring and Theft Support

The Meta Trak DEADLOCK E-TEC is connected to Meta Trak’s secure operating centre and equipped with 24/7 theft and alert monitoring. In the unfortunate event of a theft, the team will work swiftly with you and local police forces to track and recover your vehicle on your behalf, ensuring you’re not left in the dark.

Key Stand-Out Features and Benefits

• Thatcham S5 Tracking: 24/7 professional monitoring, theft support, and recovery service. Thatcham category S5 tracking enables Meta Trak’s NSI-accredited secure operating centre to link into police control rooms, commanding greater authority responses from UK police forces. The faster and more professional the response to your vehicle’s theft, the greater the chances of a successful recovery.

• Push-to-Start Immobiliser: The Meta Trak DEADLOCK E-TEC features Meta Trak’s new Push-to-Start immobilisation technology, marking the next generation of combined tracker and immobiliser vehicle security systems. The new immobiliser is Thatcham Cat 2 accredited as it utilises dual circuit immobilisation to deactivate your vehicles start/stop button. This new technology has many benefits, not least that it enables a clean way of immobilising usually difficult hybrid and electric powertrains without causing any faults. Due to the way this next-gen immobiliser works, when your vehicle is immobilised, thieves are also not able to turn the vehicles ignition on, a great benefit and one that stops thieves being able to code new keys or manipulate OEM software when attempting a theft, among other things.

• Automatic Immobilisation: Your immobiliser is armed and disarmed automatically when your Meta Trak ID tag is nearby. No input from you is needed to arm and disarm your immobiliser, the process is completely passive. Aftermarket vehicle immobilisation protects against digital theft methods that exploit OEM (original equipment manufacturer) security flaws.

• Remote Immobilisation: For additional security, you can DEADLOCK (Lockdown) your vehicle via your smartphone from anywhere. This prevents thieves from being able to start your car even if they have your Meta Trak ID tag.

• Wireless Link Architecture: Your Meta DEADLOCK E-TEC hardware components link wirelessly, significantly improving covert installation and making it impossible for thieves to trace the shared, connected communication wiring found with all other similar competing security systems. This feature is often overlooked by customers but is one of the main reasons that Meta Trak has become the market leader in vehicle immobilisation technology. Being able to wirelessly link your security systems components provides greater flexibility for covert installation such as the tracker can be placed in one area of the vehicle and the immobiliser in another area. This ensures your vehicle security system isn’t found all wired together for easy removal of the tracker such as with all other similar systems on the market.

• Live Tracking and Alerts: Monitor your vehicle’s location in real-time and receive alerts for unauthorised movement or battery issues. Encourage early warning and proactive responses to suspicious activity. Early warnings to potential theft events can significantly improve the chance of a successful recovery should a real theft occur.

• Automatic Driver Recognition: The system identifies you as the authorised driver using a small signal-transmitting ID tag; the system alerts you if your vehicle moves without the ID tag. This process enables fast, proactive alerting if an unauthorised driver drives your vehicle.

Make a wise investment in the Meta Trak DEADLOCK E-TEC tracker and immobiliser security system to ensure ultimate peace of mind.

The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC is the next generation of vehicle tracking and immobilisation system from the vehicle security experts, Meta Trak.

The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC features Meta Trak’s next-generation push-to-start immobilisation whereby vehicle immobilisation is achieved through immobilisation of the vehicle start button. Developed in-house by Meta Trak, this security system has been uniquely designed for hybrid and electric technology, although it can be used for normal ICE applications too.

The main security features of the Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC are:

1.       Thatcham category S5 insurance-approved tracking

 The system is fully monitored 24/7/365 by Meta Trak’s SOC (secure operating centre). Any alerts the system may generate are sent directly to the SOC. After receiving an alert, personnel from the SOC will contact the vehicle owner immediately to confirm whether a theft has taken place. If theft is confirmed, Meta Trak’s SOC will provide the vehicle owner with professional theft support by liaising with and directing local police forces to the vehicle using data from the installed system.

2.       Thatcham CAT2 push-to-start immobilisation

The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC features a Thatcham CAT2 immobiliser, used uniquely to achieve immobilisation of a vehicle's start button. The most significant advantage of Meta Trak’s push-to-start immobilisation is that it provides a way to immobilise new powertrain technologies without causing faults. Many Hybrid and Electric vehicles are difficult to immobilise due to the fact they can start and drive on both ICE (internal combustion engines) and also electric power. Aftermarket vehicle security installation engineers have found ways to immobilise these vehicles but normally at the cost of multiple faults on the vehicle display, clearly visible to the vehicle owner/driver. The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC eliminates these problems by providing effective vehicle immobilisation without causing any faults. Not only does this provide a solution for new hybrid and electric vehicle and powertrain technologies but it can also be used for some ICE-only powered vehicles (compatibility dependant).

The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC immobilises the vehicle start button automatically when the driver recognition ID tag is out of range of the vehicle (5-10m). To unblock the immobiliser and thus the vehicle's start button, the vehicle driver simply needs to bring the Meta Trak ID tag back into close proximity to the vehicle. This process is commonly called ‘No Tag, No Start’ as without the system's unique ID tag being present the new E-TEC immobiliser will stay blocked to prevent unauthorised starting of the vehicle.

Another added benefit to immobilising a vehicle's push-to-start button is that when it's immobilised the vehicle’s ignition cannot be switched on. This can help to prevent other modern theft methods such as OBD compromise, CAN injection, and Key cloning via the OBD port, and also stop thieves from stealing personal data stored within the vehicle On-Board Electronics modules.

3.       Wireless Link Architecture

The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC system offers a remarkable security advantage over competing systems through the implementation of Meta Trak’s cutting-edge wireless link architecture technology. This advanced technology facilitates seamless wireless communication among all elements of the system.

The wireless communication capability empowers the system’s immobiliser to establish a connection with the primary tracking device without the need for a direct, wired link. Serving as the central control unit, the tracking device receives commands over the mobile network and transmits them wirelessly to the immobiliser via Bluetooth.

This configuration delivers a substantial security benefit as it allows for the installation of the immobiliser and tracking device in separate areas of the vehicle. For instance, the tracking device could be discreetly placed in the boot while the immobiliser could be strategically positioned in the engine bay. This means that even if perpetrators manage to locate the engine immobiliser, they won't automatically discover the tracking device. A common problem with similar systems on the market is that thieves are able to locate the tracking device by tracing of the system shared hardwired connection.

The wireless communication and separate installation of the tracking device and immobiliser prevent easy tracing through a shared hardwired connection, distinguishing this system as a standout solution in the market.

Yes. The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC is a Thatcham category S5 accredited tracking system and is accepted by UK insurers that require a Thatcham S5 tracker.

This immobiliser is Thatcham CAT2E accredited.

The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC is covered by Meta Trak’s lifetime parts and labour warranty.

• For the original owner only.

• A subscription must be active to make a claim.

The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC system shares many similarities with the standard S5 DEADLOCK system, but it features a significant difference. Both systems offer identical stolen vehicle tracking capabilities, but their immobilisation methods distinguish them from one another.

The standard Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK utilises a modern conventional single-circuit immobiliser that can be utilised in various ways, such as interrupting the starter circuit, ECU ignition, or other forms of immobilisation commonly employed by vehicle security installation engineers.

Conversely, the new Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK has been purposefully designed to immobilise the vehicle's start button. It incorporates Meta Trak's innovative push-to-start immobiliser, which stands out in the industry as it has recently received Thatcham's CAT2 compliance accreditation. The CAT2 immobiliser and Push-to-Start immobilisation offer numerous advantages, with the primary benefit being that this type of immobilisation does not generate any faults on the vehicle's dashboard or displays when the immobiliser is in a blocked state and an attempt is made to start the vehicle. This addresses a common issue with other forms of immobilisation used for new electrified powertrain technologies. The Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC effectively eliminates these issues and delivers increased security performance with an entirely new approach. While developed in-house by Meta Trak to provide faultless immobilisation tailored specifically for hybrid and electric technologies, the Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC is also suitable for ICE (internal combustion engine)-only powered vehicles.

It is important to note, however, that the Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC system is a compatibility-only product. To determine if your specific vehicle is supported, please consult our ‘compatibility list’.

a subscription for your Meta Trak S5 DEADLOCK E-TEC system is necessary for the operation of the system/hardware. All telematics products (tracking systems) incur costs as they transmit data and communicate over the mobile network.

Airtime:

Think of a tracking system as like a mobile phone and its airtime plan; you pay for the handset/tracking device, as well as for the data that the handset/tracking device transmits over the mobile network to the network providers.

In our case, your subscription pays the network providers to carry your tracking system's data across their network. Your subscription is slightly more expensive than a normal airtime plan. However, a modern tracking system usually utilizes multi-roaming, so it transmits data over the network provider with the best connection in a given area. Your tracking device is not tied to a single network provider.

Theft Monitoring:

When you subscribe to a tracking system, you are paying for the 'airtime' for your hardware to use the mobile network to transmit data, as well as for 24/7/365 theft monitoring.

If your tracking system is Thatcham-approved (Insurance-approved), it will include 24/7/365 theft monitoring as standard. The subscription costs for these types of products are higher than for a device that is simply used to transmit location data, such as a fleet or self-monitored type of product.

Your subscription cost covers both the cost of 'airtime' and a professional theft support service. This theft support service is available 24 hours a day to notify you of the potential theft of your vehicle.

In the event of an alert being generated by your vehicle tracking system, it is sent to the monitoring centre. Personnel at the monitoring centre are then notified on screen of the alert, and all alerts are responded to by a telephone call to the vehicle owner/driver. If a theft is confirmed, monitoring centre personnel will use direct lines into police control rooms to coordinate the recovery of your vehicle.

Summary:

As you can see, the professional theft monitoring service included with Thatcham/Insurance-approved tracking systems commands a higher subscription price compared to ordinary tracking devices used solely for locational purposes.

A professional theft support service is mandatory for a tracking system to be accredited as a Thatcham category S7 or S5 product. Both categories are used by vehicle insurers to lower their risk concerning vehicle crime and are also known as insurance-approved vehicle tracking systems.
