What support is available for dealers?

What are the features of the KARR Security system?

KARR Security offers two powerful options — Theft prevention, GPS, or a plan that combines both. We also offer a wireless GPS unit for quick, no-wiring installation. 

Our Security System helps prevent theft with features like an engine immobilizer, intrusion sensors, and the ability to set custom geofences for added lot control.

Our GPS System provides real-time tracking along with alerts for low or disconnected battery, intrusions, geofence violations, and more. It’s ideal for theft recovery or repo assistance.

Can I customize my security program?

Absolutely! We provide a variety of programs designed to meet your dealership’s needs, which include:

BT Security with Bluetooth connectivity
S.W.A.T. / S.W.A.T. Wireless GPS tracking and vehicle theft recovery
Elite / Fusion – Best of both – combination programs

Note: Features vary by program and may not be available on all makes and models.

How does KARR Security help with vehicle recovery?

Using advanced GPS, Bluetooth, and cellular technology, our system pinpoints the location of the stolen vehicle. Once a police report is filed, our 24/7/365 recovery team takes action– working hands-on with law enforcement to help recover the vehicle. It’s proactive protection that helps minimize loss and maximize peace of mind.

How is KARR Security installed on vehicles?

We employ 250+ in-house install technicians nationwide who work directly with dealerships to preload our systems before the vehicle is sold — so it’s ready to go when the customer drives off the lot.
