Viper 106V Touch Immobiliser – Supplied and Fitted Nationwide

The Viper 106V is a Thatcham Category 2 evaluated electronic immobiliser from Directed, operated by a coded touch-key rather than a remote or fob. It interrupts up to three separate engine circuits, so the vehicle cannot be started until the correct tag is pressed into a discreetly mounted receptacle. That makes it particularly effective against relay attack, key cloning and stolen keys, because there is no signal to intercept. Safe & Sound Mobile supplies the 106V with professional installation and nationwide mobile fitting.

Is the Viper 106V Right for You?

The Viper 106V suits owners of keyless-entry vehicles who are worried about relay theft, and anyone whose insurer has asked for an aftermarket Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser. It is a common choice for models frequently targeted by signal-relay and OBD theft, where the factory immobiliser can be bypassed without the thief ever touching the original key.

It also appeals to drivers who simply want something a thief cannot defeat electronically. The touch-key is a physical, coded tag carried separately from your keys — it broadcasts nothing, so it cannot be scanned, relayed or cloned from a distance. Even if a thief takes your keys, the vehicle will not start without the tag.

The 106V is not the right product if you need to know where your vehicle is. It does not track, report or recover. If your insurer has specified an S5 or S7 tracker, you need a tracking system — although many owners fit both, using the immobiliser to prevent the theft and a tracker to deal with what happens if the vehicle is taken anyway.

Key Features of the Viper 106V

Thatcham Category 2 and Insurance Requirements

Thatcham Category 2 covers electronic immobilisers — systems that prevent the engine being started rather than sounding an alarm. A Category 2 system must disable at least one, and usually more, of the circuits an engine needs to run, and it must arm automatically so that protection does not depend on the driver remembering to switch it on.

Insurers ask for an aftermarket Category 2 immobiliser for a range of reasons: a high-value or frequently stolen model, a vehicle with no factory immobiliser, a modified vehicle, or a young or previously claimed driver. Some owners fit one voluntarily because their model is known to be vulnerable to relay attack.

The Viper 106V meets that brief by cutting the ignition, starter and fuel pump circuits and requiring a coded touch-key before the engine will run. On completion we complete a certificate of installation which you sign — one copy is yours and one is intended for your insurance broker as evidence the system was professionally fitted.

We cannot guarantee that any particular insurer will accept a given system, and no installer can. What we can do is make sure the product matches the requirement and that the paperwork is right.

How the Viper 106V Works

The control module is hidden behind the dashboard and wired into the circuits the engine depends on. When the system is armed, those circuits are open — turning the key or pressing the start button achieves nothing, because the engine has no ignition, no starter and no fuel.

To drive, you press your touch-key into the receptacle. The receptacle is mounted somewhere the driver can reach easily but a stranger would not immediately think to look. The tag carries a unique code tied to your system, the LED confirms it has been read, and the circuits close so the vehicle starts normally.

When you switch off, the system arms itself again. There is no button to press and no sequence to remember. If you have been sitting in the vehicle with the engine off for a while, you may simply need to touch the key again before setting off.

The security value lies in what the tag is not. It is not a remote, so it transmits nothing that a relay amplifier can extend from your hallway to your driveway. It is not stored in the vehicle’s electronics, so it cannot be read through the OBD port. A thief holding your original car key still cannot start the engine.

Subscription, Monitoring and App

Because immobilisers are often shopped for alongside trackers, it is worth being direct about what the Viper 106V does not include. There is no monitoring centre, no mobile app, no GPS, no journey history, no geofencing and no theft alert to your phone. Nothing about this system is connected.

The upside is that it costs nothing to run. Once the 106V is installed there is no subscription, no renewal and no account to manage. It works whether or not there is mobile signal where you park. If you want location tracking or recovery support as well, that is a separate tracker product and we are happy to quote for both together.

How Nationwide Mobile Installation Works

1. Order Your Immobiliser

2. Arrange Your Installation

We contact you to book a convenient appointment at a time and place that suits you.

3. We Come to Your Vehicle

One of our installers travels to your home or workplace anywhere in the UK. You do not need to take the vehicle anywhere.

4. Professional Installation

The control module is concealed inside the vehicle, the immobilisation circuits are wired in and the touch-key receptacle is positioned where you can reach it but a thief would not expect to find it.

5. Setup and Handover

We programme your touch-keys, test the system, show you how it operates day to day and complete your certificate of installation for signing.

Why Choose Safe & Sound Mobile for Immobiliser Installation?

An immobiliser is only as good as the install. It has to be hidden properly, wired into the right circuits, and positioned so it is convenient for you and awkward for anyone else — and none of that comes out of a box. Safe & Sound Mobile installs vehicle security full time, and we know where these systems should and should not go.

We fit nationwide from a mobile service, so the work happens at your home or workplace instead of costing you a day at a workshop. We work with several leading security brands, which means we can tell you honestly whether the Viper 106V is the right answer to your insurer’s wording or whether a different category would serve you better.

You also get the practical things that matter afterwards: a proper handover, your certificate of installation, and someone to call if you need an additional touch-key programmed or have a question about the system.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Viper 106V

What category is the Viper 106V?

The Viper 106V is a Thatcham Category 2 evaluated electronic immobiliser. Category 2 covers systems that prevent the engine from starting rather than sounding an alarm. It is not a Category 1 alarm-and-immobiliser system and it is not a tracker, so check which of these your insurer has actually specified.

Is the Viper 106V accepted by my insurer?

Requirements vary between insurers, so always confirm the exact category specified on your policy before ordering. What we can provide is a professionally installed Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser and a completed certificate of installation, including a copy intended for your insurance broker as evidence of the fitting.

Will the Viper 106V stop relay theft?

It directly targets it. Relay attacks work by extending the signal from your key so the car believes the key is nearby. The Viper 106V’s touch-key transmits nothing to relay — the coded tag has to be physically presented to the receptacle. Without it, the ignition, starter and fuel circuits stay open.

Does the Viper 106V require a subscription?

No. The 106V is entirely self-contained, with no SIM card, monitoring service or mobile app. There is no monthly cost, no annual renewal and no account to manage. Once installed, it works with no ongoing spend.

Does the Viper 106V have a mobile app?

No, and it does not track your vehicle either. There is no GPS, no location reporting and no phone notification. If you want to see where your vehicle is or have theft alerts sent to you, that requires a tracker — we can supply and fit one alongside the immobiliser.

How many touch-keys do I get?

Two coded touch-keys are supplied as standard, and the system will accept a third if you need one for another driver. Keep your touch-keys separate from your car keys — carrying both together undoes much of the protection if your keys are taken.

Will the Viper 106V fit my vehicle?

The 106V is designed for petrol and common rail diesel vehicles running a 12V battery, which covers the vast majority of UK cars and vans. Send us your make, model and year when you order and we will confirm suitability before booking your installation.

Where can Safe & Sound Mobile install the Viper 106V?

Anywhere in the UK. We are a mobile installation service, so we travel to your home or workplace and fit the system there. You only need somewhere safe and reasonably accessible for the installer to work on the vehicle.
