Viper 106V Touch Key Immobiliser | Thatcham Category 2

Viper 106V Touch Key Immobiliser | Thatcham Category 2 Vehicle Security

Protect your vehicle with the Viper 106V Touch Key Immobiliser, a Thatcham Category 2 evaluated aftermarket immobiliser designed to prevent the vehicle from being started without an authorised coded touch key.

Unlike systems that rely on a wireless remote signal, the Viper 106V uses a coded physical touch key that is presented to the vehicle-mounted touch-key receptacle before the vehicle can be started. The system automatically arms when the vehicle is switched off, providing an additional layer of protection against vehicle theft.

The Viper 106V features three independent immobilisation circuits, automatic arming, a four-digit PIN emergency override and two Viper touch keys supplied as standard.

Advanced Touch Key Vehicle Security

The Viper 106V is designed to add an additional immobilisation layer to a vehicle's existing security system.

Once the vehicle is switched off, the immobiliser automatically arms. To start the vehicle again, the authorised touch key is presented to the discreetly installed receptacle, allowing the immobiliser to be disarmed.

This means that simply having the vehicle's original key does not provide the complete authorisation required to start the vehicle.

Thatcham Category 2 Evaluated Immobiliser

The Viper 106V is a Thatcham Category 2 evaluated touch-key immobiliser from Directed. It is listed as a Category 2 aftermarket electronic immobiliser.

Category 2 immobilisers are designed to provide additional electronic immobilisation protection for vehicles, making the Viper 106V a popular choice for owners looking to strengthen their vehicle security.

Important: Insurance requirements vary between providers. Always check with your insurer whether a Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser meets your individual policy requirements.

Three Independent Immobilisation Circuits

The Viper 106V uses three independent immobilisation circuits, providing multiple points of immobilisation within the vehicle's starting system. The manufacturer's documentation describes automatic immobilisation of the ignition and starter motor, with the fuel pump circuit also supported where configured.

This multi-circuit approach provides a stronger layer of protection than relying on a single immobilisation point.

Coded Viper Touch Keys

Two coded Viper touch keys are supplied with the system.

The touch key is presented to the vehicle's installed receptacle to disarm the immobiliser and allow the vehicle to start. The system can support up to three programmed touch keys, providing the option of an additional key where required.

The touch-key system is straightforward to use while adding an extra security requirement beyond the vehicle's original key.

Automatic Arming

The Viper 106V is designed to automatically arm after the vehicle has been switched off.

This means you don't have to remember to manually activate the immobiliser every time you leave the vehicle. The system's automatic arming function helps make enhanced vehicle security part of your normal routine.

Four-Digit PIN Emergency Override

As an additional safeguard, the Viper 106V includes a four-digit PIN emergency override.

This provides an alternative method of disarming the immobiliser if the authorised touch key cannot be used.

Discreet Touch-Key Receptacle & LED

The system uses a one-piece touch-key receptacle with an integrated LED status indicator.

During professional installation, the receptacle can be positioned discreetly inside the vehicle while remaining convenient for authorised use. The LED also provides a visual indication of the immobiliser's status.

Designed for Professional Installation

The Viper 106V is designed to be installed by an authorised dealer/qualified installer rather than as a DIY product. The manufacturer's documentation states that the system must be installed according to its supplied installation instructions.

Professional installation helps ensure the immobiliser circuits, touch-key receptacle and control module are correctly integrated with the vehicle.

Viper 106V vs Standard Vehicle Security

Your vehicle's factory security system is designed to provide its own level of protection, but an aftermarket immobiliser can add another security layer.

The Viper 106V introduces an additional coded touch-key requirement before the vehicle can be started. This makes it particularly suitable for vehicle owners who want to add a dedicated aftermarket immobiliser to their existing security setup.

Why choose the Viper 106V?

Thatcham Category 2 evaluated
A recognised aftermarket electronic immobiliser category.

Three immobilisation circuits
Multiple vehicle circuits can be immobilised for an additional layer of protection.

Simple touch-key operation
Present the coded touch key to the installed receptacle before driving.

Automatic arming
The system automatically arms after the vehicle is switched off.

PIN emergency override
A four-digit PIN provides an alternative emergency disarming method.

No routine manual arming required
Automatic arming means the system is designed to protect the vehicle without requiring you to remember to activate it.

Who Is the Viper 106V Suitable For?

The Viper 106V is ideal for vehicle owners looking for:

• A Thatcham Category 2 evaluated immobiliser
• Additional protection alongside factory vehicle security
• A straightforward touch-key system

• Professionally installed aftermarket vehicle security

It can be particularly useful where an insurer or vehicle owner requires an additional aftermarket immobiliser, subject to the individual insurer's requirements.

Viper 106V Installation

The Viper 106V should be professionally installed in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements.

The installation involves integrating the immobiliser with the vehicle's relevant circuits and fitting the touch-key receptacle in a suitable location inside the vehicle.

For insurance purposes, always retain the installation documentation supplied by your installer and check that the system and installation meet your insurer's requirements.
