Auto-txt shows off its security system fitted as standard on the new Jaguar XK
The Auto-txt, Jaguar and Eurowatch partnership behind Jaguar Watch. The first Jaguar XK models fitted with a specially developed Auto-txt car tracking and security system as standard equipment have started to roll off the production line. To celebrate this important step for both Auto-txt and Jaguar, one of the first Jaguar XKs is being displayed on the Auto-txt stand at Thatcham’s Triple Focus Event on 7th June. The Auto-txt product provides the technology behind the new Jaguar Watch security and tracking system which is available both in the UK and throughout the rest of Europe. Auto-txt is a big step forward in the battle against car theft and was the first stolen vehicle protection and tracking system to have been awarded Category 5 accreditation by Thatcham, the motor industry research centre. Key features of Category 5 include a way of identifying the driver in addition to possession of car keys and the means to disable a vehicle that has been stolen, remotely from a central control centre. Jim Hammond of the Association of Chief Police Officers said, "Category 5 is now the only stolen vehicle theft standard that is both supported by the insurance industry and conforms to police policy." Chris Cole, Engineering Director of RDM Group said: "This is the first time that a leading automotive manufacturer has put its brand behind a pan-European stolen vehicle security system. It represents a sound endorsement of our product which will continue to evolve and set the standard for stolen vehicle security for years to come." Auto-txt has been developed by RDM Group, a Coventry based designer of electrical, mechanical and trim related systems for the automotive industry. Please see www.auto-txt.com for more details.
