oem vs fortin as alarm

Question

whats the benefits of fortin evo one as my alarm vs the factory using oem on my 23 tundra ??? which would give me better security

Answer 1

OEM alarms are ok but are prone to things like relay attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_attack

Aftermarket alarms, using their own code hoping remotes, are not prone to replay attacks.

You are also free to add a telematics like the EVO-START-LTE for tracking of the vehicle and being notified of any intrusions. https://www.evo-start.ca/en/products/evo-start-lte

if i activate do i need a scan tool to disable factory alarm?? also how does using fortins remotes work to prevent replay attacks if u still need factory key fob to start car??

No scan tool needed, the oem alarm stays active.

Fortin remotes cannot be prone to relay attacks.

I understand that about fortin nit being prone but can fortin remotes be used instead of factory key fob or do u need factory key fob in order to start the ignition??? If i still need the key factory key fob to be active  how does the fortin remote prevent attacks as the factory key has to be used.

You still need your factory key to start the the vehicle.

I am under the assumption that a proper starter-kill will also be installed with the evo-one and that the only to disarm it would be with the Fortin remote and not the oem remote.
