Autowatch 695 CAN-BUS | Thatcham CAT 2-1 Alarm System

Autowatch 695 CAN – Thatcham CAT 2-1 CAN-BUS Alarm

The Autowatch 695 CAN is a CAN-BUS alarm system from PFK Electronics in South Africa.

It is Thatcham CAT 2–1 rated and is designed for vehicles with factory keyless entry and an immobiliser, integrating seamlessly into the vehicle’s CAN-BUS platform.

Because it communicates directly with the CAN-BUS system, the 695 CAN must be programmed specifically for the vehicle it is installed in. The list of compatible vehicles is regularly updated as more modern vehicles adopt CAN-BUS technology.

On some supported vehicles, the alarm can be operated via an optional Autowatch remote, which is typically a more cost-effective solution than purchasing an additional factory key from a dealer.
