About

The realities of vehicle theft and hijackings in South African have given PFK Electronics decades of experience and the ultimate testing ground to develop ‘Best in Class’ solutions in the vehicle security sector. Most people prepare for such an event by taking out insurance, but even then, reporting and replacing a stolen vehicle can come with unexpected costs and a significant time expense.

That’s why in 1985, PFK established the first of its brands, Autowatch VSS, which rapidly dominated the South African vehicle security solutions market and has since expanded to 28 countries across the globe.

The brand’s range of advanced security systems, tailored to unique market products, which include bespoke OEM dockside fitment solutions, alarms, immobilisers, park distance controllers, central locking systems, anti-hijack systems and a comprehensive range of related accessories.

All of these are:

N

Easy to install

Backed by strong after-sales support

Some of our most popular products are our flagship CANBus alarm system and our benchmark ABS Level 4 Alarm/Immobiliser, enabled with an anti-hijacking feature. We are also able to manufacture bespoke solutions, so if we don’t already have what you need, we’ll make it.
