Anti-theft with no radio channel

Without the key,it’s just metal.

Pull out the key-connector and the electrical circuits open — the car is immobilised. There is no radio signal for anyone to intercept.

RAVELCOThe principle of the world-famous system — in our own, more compact and better-looking design.

The threat

Modern car theft is wireless.SocketCar isn’t.

Thieves work with radio signals and the car’s digital buses. SocketCar has no radio channel: the system can’t be controlled without physical contact, and the circuits stay physically open until the key is in the socket.

  1. Relay attack

    Extends the signal of your factory key to unlock and start the car.

    Doesn’t workThere is no signal to extend.

  2. Code grabber

    Captures the key fob code and plays it back.

    Doesn’t workThere is simply no code on the air.

  3. CAN injection

    Sends commands straight into the car’s digital bus.

    Doesn’t workThe circuits are physically open — the commands go nowhere.

  4. Key programming via OBD

    Registers a new key through the diagnostic port.

    Doesn’t workOnly your key-connector closes the circuits.

Nothing to intercept.Nothing to fake.

How it works

How it works

The parking ritual

The key-connector closes the electrical circuits, and the car runs as usual. Without it the circuits are open, and the car won’t move under its own power.

  1. SocketCar key-connector on a key ring with a carabiner

    Take the key out

    Parked? Pull out the key-connector and take it with you like an ordinary key fob.

  2. Empty SocketCar socket on the dashboard next to the ignition lock

    Circuits open. Car immobilised.

    Fuel pump, control unit, ignition, starter and other electrical equipment — all without power.

  3. SocketCar key-connector plugged into the socket on the dashboard

    Key back in — and off you go

    Push&Pull accepts the key in one position only and holds it securely while you drive.

8-pin or 16-pin socket. It’s small, so it’s hard to trace with a circuit tester. You choose where it goes — and only you know where it is.

No key, no power

  • Fuel pump
  • Control unit
  • Crankshaft sensor
  • Spark plugs with coils
  • Fuel injector
  • Ignition coil
  • Starter
  • Other electrical equipment

Advantages

Seven details for peace of mind

Close-up of the SocketCar key-connector at an angle
Key-connectorMetal key fob
  1. No radio channel

    The system can’t be controlled without contact, so a remote “hack” has nothing to connect to.

  2. Push&Pull self-⁠latching lock

    The key fits in one position only and is protected against vibration and falling out while driving.

  3. Gold-plated contacts

    Excellent electrical contact, a long service life, and resistance to corrosion and oxidation.

  4. Aircraft-grade wiring

    The same wiring ANTONOV uses in its aircraft. The small cross-section means a short-circuit attack damages the wire and makes the thief’s job even harder.

  5. A small socket

    It’s hard to trace with an electrical tester.

  6. Only you know where it is

    The car owner decides where the socket is installed.

  7. A pair nobody else has

    Every key and socket pair is unique. Only the manufacturer can restore it or make extra keys.

About us

The Ravelco principle. Our own design.

SocketCar is an analogue of the world-famous Ravelco system: the same principle, a different implementation. The Socket key and socket are much smaller and better-looking, and the manufacturer makes every key and socket pair unique.

Installation takes place at the manufacturer’s service centre, carried out by qualified technicians with years of experience.
