ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition)
- Discreet pocket-sized card carried with you when in your vehicle. Whenever you leave your vehicle the system will automatically arm itself.
- If the vehicle is moved without the driver fob present, Vodafone Automotive’s Secure Operating Centre is alerted immediately. This means that even if a thief takes your vehicle using your own keys, the theft is still detected with immediate action taken.
- Supplied with two unique driver cards.
- The system automatically arms itself 70 seconds after the vehicle ignition has been switched off and the driver card is out of range (approximately 3 metres).
- The system automatically disarms when the driver card is brought back in range of the vehicle.
- If your vehicle is driven and the driver card has not been detected, a silent alert will be transmitted to the Vodafone Automotive 24 hour Secure Operating Centre.
- They will then contact you to check that vehicle theft has not taken place.
- For added security, if the driver card is not present the system will generate an alert when your vehicle is lifted or towed away without the keys. An alert is also triggered when your vehicle battery is disconnected or discharged
