Have you spent sleepless nights worried about the safety of your vehicle? Well, now you can be at ease. G Sankar Narayana, a technician in the Indian army and currently attached to the Queen Mary's Technical Institute (QMTI) at Khadki, has developed a security solution to prevent vehicle thefts.
The kit, developed by Narayana, has the facility to unlock and start the vehicle by entering a password which can prevent vehicle theft. The kit priced at Rs 270 has been developed using parts available in the local market. According to the police, on an average 3,000 cases of vehicle thefts are registered every year in Pune, which has a vehicle population of 20 lakh.
This kit is named as "security code engine starter".
If a thief tries to dismantle the kit or cut the wires to steal the vehicle, he will not be able to start the vehicle. But when the owner returns he can start the vehicle even if the kit is dismantled, with the help of the backup kit. It is a very low cost solution to prevent vehicle theft. If produced on a larger scale it can be even cheaper.
The kit could prove helpful in rural as well as urban areas. An option to change the password is available with the owner, making it more secure

This comes in news about 2 years ago but still the kit is not launched by its name "security code engine starter kit". There are various anti theft system available in market like steering-wheel lock, kill switch, alarms, hood locks, tire locks, gear locks, iCATs etc. Various vehicle tracking system thru GPS also available. In Aug'12 Tata DoCoMo has launched Smart Car Security Solution that sends alert messages to the user in form of SMS. Features consist of an ignition alert key, Geo-Locking of the Car, Over Speeding Alerts and Stoppage Alerts.
