Complete Vehicle Security Guide — Connected Car, Dealership & Driving-Data Protection | Printable PDF

Your car is a computer on wheels. Protect it like one.

Today's cars remember where you've been, store your home address, sync your contacts, and connect to an app that can locate, unlock and even start them. That's convenient, until a password leaks, a previous owner still has access, or a rental car keeps your phone's data for the next driver. Then there's the dealership, where the math is built to work against you.

Sound familiar?

• You've never checked who else can use your car's app.
• Your key fob sits right by the front door every night.
• You bought a used car and never reset anything.
• Your phone is probably still paired to a rental you returned.
• The salesperson kept asking what monthly payment you wanted.
• If your car were stolen tonight, you wouldn't know what to do first.

The Complete Vehicle Security Guide covers every stage of owning a car in 4 clear pages: driving it, buying it, selling it and renting one. Each page has checklists and pro tips you can act on right away.
