High popularity Toyota Land Cruiser Prado among car enthusiasts due to reliability, power and ease of maintenance. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is among the TOP 20 most stolen foreign cars in Russia.
Let's consider the process of the most likely method of stealing a given car.
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, he finds the wires of the diagnostic CAN bus and, using clothespins, connects a special device to deactivate the standard alarm. Car thieves often use alternative method- to gain access to the salon, they break out the glass. As a rule, professionals simultaneously use satellite system signal suppression devices.
To protect Toyota Land Cruiser Prado doors from burglary, we recommend installing door locks.

A reinforced version of the UniLock brand door lock. It differs from the standard model by the use of additional protective elements that prevent rapid deactivation of the lock under external influences after cutting through the outer metal skin of the door.
To control door locks the following are used:

electromechanical locks
hood with protection against cutting and pins from twisting (for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, two locks are desirable).
If the car does not start after this, then with a high degree of probability an additional security system with engine blocking is installed. A professional car thief has an indication device in his arsenal electromagnetic field, used to search for antennas or radio emitting modules. By using of this device determines the location of additional security modules. After disassembling the panels and other interior elements, the attacker dismantles the modules. Using the wires from the disabled security system, it finds the engine blocking circuit and bridges the relay contacts. After this, the engine is started and the car is driven into the sump.
To avoid replacement electronic unit control and key certification unit, which are located under glove box Inside the car, we recommend installing protective steel safes.
In case of visiting the service for carrying out Maintenance a non-standard security system must be switched to service mode to prevent preparations for theft.
To enhance the protection of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado We recommend installing a security and search beacon.
The device is covertly installed in a car and operates exclusively in standalone mode without connections to the car’s standard systems. The beacon is designed to detect a car in case of theft or evacuation. It is almost impossible to detect using 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.

Attempt Toyota theft Land Cruiser Prado
Toyota owner Land Cruiser Prado on the morning of April 25 had mixed feelings. On the one hand, someone was clearly tormenting his car: holes were drilled in the door and in the fender, the glass was broken, the front panel and the plastic above the gearbox were opened. On the other hand, the car remained in place!
The CCTV camera clarified the situation. The car stood quietly in the courtyard of a house in the Nevsky district of St. Petersburg. At 4:36 am, two hijackers tried to open it.
They drilled a hole for door lock, but still the door wouldn’t budge, so I had to break the window. Next, attempts began to start the engine. However, the Spring-Dynamic security complex installed back in 2015 turned all criminal attacks into “dancing with tambourines.”
The hole in the right wing - apparently, the car thieves were trying to connect to the car's Can-bus.
In an attempt to overcome the SPRING security, the criminals dismantled dashboard and part of the interior, we carried out manipulations under the hood. Useless!
The spring-pro immobilizer consists of several parts that are externally indistinguishable from standard wiring. In an attempt to bypass the security complex, the car thieves dismantled half of the car.
An impartial camera clearly recorded the time of their work: after 1 hour and 8 minutes, the fellows came to the conclusion that this car was too tough for them and left.
The car was delivered to dealership to eliminate defects, and the Spring security complex again proved its effectiveness.
Super Agent 2 UniLock v5.
No theft+
On Toyota car Land Cruser Prado 150 2016, a security system installed on the Super Agent 2 telematic alarm platform. To protect the engine compartment, electric mechanical blockers UniLock v5.
IN in this case classic layout is used security complex, a combination of immobilizer and hood locks. The idea is this: the immobilizer is located in the engine compartment, where it also blocks engine operation and controls the operation of the electromechanical hood lock. It’s not hard to guess that in order for an attacker to disable the engine lock, he needs to get into engine compartment, and this can only be done using a vandal method, with the ensuing noise effect, which negatively affects the risks of this event. Those. They will most likely not mess with such a car, but will look for a simpler option, not equipped with a security system.
The basis of the complex is the Super Agent 2 system - this is a continuation of the telematic series of security and anti-theft devices with a monitoring function using a server and mobile applications No theft+ . For successful authorization (disarming), the owner does not have to do unnecessary actions, just have the car alarm tag with him Super Agent 2, the system is automatically disarmed. If you open the car with a standard key without a tag present in the survey zone, then mobile phone the owner will receive a call from Super Agent 2.

That’s why the Prado 150 is always at the top of the list of the most stolen cars. To protect the car from the actions of criminals, it is necessary to install additional anti-theft devices. Only in this case is there a possibility that the thief will not be able to cope with such a system, and therefore, steal the car.
Most Prado 150 cars are equipped satellite alarm. Often the car owner is under the misconception that such a system will be quite enough to resist the actions of car thieves.
But in practice it turns out differently. Criminals have learned to cope well with this type of alarm. They simply jam the signal that comes from the car, so they can detect vehicle becomes impossible.
Therefore, the owner of the Prado 150 simply needs to supplement the alarm with some additional funds protection. Mechanical interlocks work well. No good anti-theft system should be without such devices.
Of course, they cannot completely protect the car from theft, but it usually takes an attacker some time to overcome such blockers. This means that the likelihood that the theft will not be completed immediately increases.
The Prado 150 is characterized by very easy access to the ECU. These are often used by criminals. They connect their control unit. This allows them to remove all locks on the vehicle.
Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation from occurring, the machine’s engine control unit should be protected. Eat different ways. It is advisable to use not one, but several to increase reliability. Usually they change the order of the wires at the diagnostic connector in such a way that connecting another ECU becomes impossible - it will simply burn out.
Mechanical protection of the control unit would also be a good addition. To do this, it is placed in a special safe. This allows you to prevent attempts to remove the standard unit.
A good addition would be to armor the glass using film. This method protects not only from theft, but also from attack. Most often, the criminal gets into the car by breaking the glass.
This usually takes him a few seconds. Glass with film cannot be broken so easily. This may take a few minutes. When you break glass, you usually have to hear an alarm blaring, which, of course, greatly attracts the attention of others.
Only a complex can protect the Prado 150 from illegal actions security devices. Such protection should be organized in stages. Alone, such systems are not capable of providing good level protection, therefore, they are used together.
But the use of anti-theft systems alone cannot give a positive result without the correct behavior of the car owner himself. Often drivers themselves provoke the theft of their car.
Therefore, full protection against theft of the Prado 150 also includes the correct behavior of the vehicle owner on the road.
Toyota Prado is one of the most popular cars in the world. secondary market. Like, indeed, many other models from Toyota Motor Corporation, including Lexus. That is why, when buying a car secondhand, you need to be especially careful so as not to purchase a stolen car. And those who purchase it in a salon must install it additional protection from theft on Prado.
Protect Prado from 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 expect a return Money, but they forget that only part of the damage will be compensated. A fairly long period of time may pass before this happens.
The demand for this car is so high that it can be classified as the most criminal SUV not only in Russia, but also in neighboring countries. Statistics show that one Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is stolen per day in the Russian Federation.
This indicates that the Prado’s protection against theft is not all right. The attackers have picked up the key to the factory security system and are successfully “breaking” additional car alarms manufactured on an assembly line.
Using an inexpensive device, you can bypass the anti-theft protection on your Prado. Most vulnerable spot is a CAN bus and a diagnostic connector. In addition, it is possible to use other hacking methods.
Of course, it is impossible to say that the protection against theft of the Cruiser 200 has remained at the same level as the previous 150 model. Some effort Japanese concern efforts have been made to improve protection. But, as statistics show, they are not effective enough.

Our specialists have been working with Japanese cars. During this time, we equipped anti-theft systems a large number of Toyotas, including Prado. Studied weak spots car, each time developing a new installation algorithm electronic locks and central control unit. Therefore the author's anti-theft complex Prado's works most effectively and is resistant to even the most skilled kidnappers.
