The Importance of Safeguarding Your Kia or Hyundai Vehicles with aftermarket security options: Protect Your Ride with Hawk Installations in Wisconsin
Vehicle theft has surged for Kia and Hyundai owners, particularly for models manufactured between 2011 and 2021, due to a critical security flaw: approximately 74% of these vehicles lack standard electronic immobilizers. The viral "Kia Boys" TikTok challenge exposed this vulnerability, leading to a spike in thefts, with Kia and Hyundai models accounting for up to 20% of car thefts in some cities. For residents of Wisconsin, especially in Milwaukee County and the counties north and west of Milwaukee—Ozaukee, Washington, Waukesha, Dodge, and Fond du Lac—securing your vehicle is essential. Hawk Installations, a trusted authorized Compustar dealer in Wisconsin, provides professional installation of advanced security systems to keep your Kia or Hyundai safe.
Why Vehicle Security Is Vital for Kia and Hyundai Owners
The absence of electronic immobilizers in many Kia and Hyundai models makes them easy targets for thieves, who can bypass ignition systems using simple tools like USB cables. This vulnerability has caused financial losses, emotional distress, and safety concerns for owners. While Hyundai offers anti-theft software updates and Kia provides free steering wheel locks, these measures may not fully protect against determined thieves. Aftermarket security systems from Compustar offer comprehensive protection with features tailored to these vehicles’ weaknesses:
Starter-Kill: Prevents the engine from starting unless the Compustar remote disarms the system, thwarting theft attempts.
2-Way Alerts: Sends instant notifications to your remote or smartphone for impact, tilt, glass breakage, or unauthorized ignition attempts.
DroneMobile Integration: Includes a free trial with premium systems, enabling you to track your vehicle’s location and control security features via smartphone.
Advanced Sensors: The 4-in-1 DAS-II sensor detects impact, tilt, forward motion, and glass breakage, triggering a loud siren to deter thieves.
These features are crucial for Kia and Hyundai owners in Milwaukee County, where urban environments heighten theft risks, as well as in Ozaukee, Washington, Waukesha, Dodge, and Fond du Lac counties, where rural and suburban settings may also expose vehicles to theft, including catalytic converter theft and key hack attacks.
The Value of Professional Installation
Vehicle security systems are complex, requiring precise integration with your car’s electronics. DIY installations can lead to malfunctions, voided warranties, or vehicle damage. Professional installation ensures that alarms, sensors, and starter-kill relays are configured for optimal performance.

As part of a network of over 2,000 Compustar dealers across North America, Hawk Installations offers:

Hawk Installations enhances this protection by expertly installing Compustar systems, integrating them with your vehicle’s CAN bus to monitor doors, hood, and trunk status.
