System overview
The Autowatch 695CAN is designed for compatible new vehicles that require an alarm upgrade. It integrates with modern vehicle electronics and helps provide a cleaner, more suitable alarm solution for vehicles that use CAN Bus communication.
The system is designed to be operated using the vehicle’s original remote controls, so drivers can keep the convenience of OEM-style locking and unlocking without relying on an additional alarm fob as standard.
A practical upgrade for modern vehicles
Many owners assume their vehicle already has a full alarm because it locks remotely, but this is not always the case. The 695CAN helps fill that security gap on compatible vehicles and may also help meet insurer expectations for approved alarm protection.
What is CAN Bus?
CAN Bus stands for Controller Area Network. It is a vehicle data communications protocol used by many manufacturers to control and monitor functions across modern vehicle systems. It helps improve reliability, reduce wiring complexity, reduce weight and support improved diagnostics.
Why install a CAN Bus alarm?
As vehicle theft methods evolve, thieves do not only target the vehicle itself. Break-ins to steal navigation systems, stereos, mobile phones and other valuables remain a real risk. A properly fitted alarm adds another layer of deterrence and helps improve overall vehicle security.
The Autowatch 695CAN is insurance approved, and some insurers may require or favour Thatcham approved alarm protection.
