In an interview with Legit.ng, Oluwayomi Oyatoye, the chief technical officer of MechoMedics Limited, shared how people could protect their car against theft.
He said:
"We need to understand is that vehicles that are from 2000 or even 1994, we call them OBD2 technically, come with an inbuilt anti-theft system. Anti-theft system is inbuilt in your vehicle. Pptimising it is the fast process before spending money to do more.
"What are the features of the anti-theft? The features are a chip, we call it an electromagnetic chip, which emits radio waves basically. That means a car key without a chip will not start a car; that is, the engine cannot be started. The door can be opened, but the engine cannot be started."
