FAQ

E-Joylock is an anti-theft protection for cars equipped with an electronic transmission, called by manufacturers “joystick” or “shift-by-wire”. E-Joylock is a gearbox lock that prevents the gear lever from changing position from “P” to “D”, “N” or “R”, thus protecting your car from theft and unauthorized use. Unlocking take place by connecting the lock to an application on a smartphone or a bluetooth chip.

When it comes to a situation in which a thief or other unwanted person who does not have your phone with the configured application or your unique bluetooth keychain gets into your car and turns on the ignition, then the use of the E-Joylock lock prevents it from changing the position of the gear lever from the position ” P ”, so he won’t be able to drive away with your car.

E-Joylock activates when you turn the ignition off and lock your car with the key. From this moment the joystick is locked and it is not possible to change the position from “P” to “D”, “N” or “R”. There are two ways to control the lock and deactivate it:

To deactivate the lock it is required to install a dedicated app, protected by an 8-digit PIN, with which the lock connects via bluetooth and unlocks the possibility of changing gears. You only need to run and configure the app once, and then enable it to run in the background so that E-Joylock connects to the application and deactivates automatically each time you start the car.

There are two bluetooth key rings included with the E-Joylock controlled by bluetooth chips. E-Joylock is deactivated when it detects the signal emitted by the key ring. All you need is a bluetooth chip with you when you get into the car and the lock automatically deactivates and the car is ready to drive.

No. You should choose one way to control the E-Joylock – by smartphone app or bluetooth key rings.

• W przypadku blokady E-JOYLOCK sterowanej aplikacją, przechwycenia sygnału bluetooth nie umożliwi dezaktywowania blokady. Sygnał bluetooth to jedynie forma transmisji i połączenia, jednak aby deaktywować blokadę E-JOYLOCK wymagana jest autoryzacja aplikacji, która jest chroniona 8 cyfrowym kodem PIN.
• W przypadku blokady E-JOYLOCK sterowanej brelokami bluetooth, przechwycenie sygnału jest mało prawdopodobne, gdyż breloki bluetooth wyposażone są w akcelerometr który powoduje, że po zostawieniu breloka bluetooth w bezruchu przez około 2 minuty, przechodzi ona w tryb uśpienia i nie emituje sygnału bluetooth. Dodatkowo sygnał w breloku bluetooth jest skonfigurowany na niski zasięg, co oznacza, że nie można przechwycić sygnału z odległości większej niż 3 metry na otwartej przestrzeni.

If you are a buyer of a car in which the E-Joylock was already installed by the previous owner, and you want to be sure that no one except you will know the PIN code for the application or will not have the configured bluetooth key rings – you can visti an authorized representative of E-Joylock which for an additional fee will reset the E-Joylock settings controlled by the application or will equip the E-Joylock controlled by bluetooth key rings with two new, uniquely configured key rings.

To effectively protect your car against theft, the PIN code must be unique and complicated – so that an unauthorized person is not able to guess the PIN code of your device. Therefore, in order to maximally increase security, each E-Joylock automatically and randomly generates an 8-digit unique PIN code, which is sent to the application during the first connection of the lock with the application.

No. The E-Joylock controlled by the application is deactivated automatically every time you get into the car, provided that the application “works in the background” and the bluetooth function is enabled on your phone.
