WiPro III safe.lock

The constant further development of the WiPro III safe.lock has already brought several software releases on to the market. Later software releases contain earlier functions. For vehicles in which the horn only works with the ignition, a siren is required.

Burglars unlock the vehicle with a copied ‘unlock’ signal from the original vehicle remote control. The vehicle cannot distinguish between this external signal and the original signal and unlocks the vehicle without leaving any signs of break-in. And because the signal is routed through the CAN bus, all CAN bus alarm systems are disarmed.
Because this break-in and theft of valuables cannot be proven (no traces left), the insurance doesn’t pay.

The following models are affected:

• Fiat Ducato (2006-2018)
• Peugeot Boxer (2006-2018)
• Citroen Jumper (2006-2018)
• Iveco Daily (2006-2018)

Since model year 2019, the original vehicle remote control key has had a rolling code. This can be recognised by the new key ring eyelet. It is made of black plastic instead of the previous chrome-plated metal.
Through the use of WiPro III safe.lock, you also have several comfort functions, e.g. control of the central locking system with the Thitronik wireless remote control 868 and unlocking of the vehicle doors via the Pro-finder or via Bluetooth with the network module, available to you.

If you haven’t used the conversion board thus far, the original central locking system will continue working normally. Nothing is changed on the vehicle in this regard. However, the WiPro III safe.lock deliberately ignores the signals from the original remote control (that come via the CAN bus) and even if the door could be unlocked mechanically, it remains secured by the alarm.

Our safe.lock Premium Partners will do this.

For the time being, you should no longer use it without a safe.lock product. The ‘unlock’ signal for the replay attacks can also be recorded outside your range of vision.
Tip: Remove the button cell from the flip key and unlock your vehicle manually; that way you won’t be in danger of forgetting and unlocking it electronically.

If you have a WiPro III safe.lock (art. no. 101050), have your WiPro III upgraded or use the safe.lock module (art. no. 101051) to control the central locking system, the conversion board (art. no. 101052) can be used for the vehicle key. It is registered like a Thitronik wireless remote control 868, e.g., on the safe.lock product.

You purchase this conversion board from your dealer, who will also convert your key. A manual is supplied for the conversion of the flip key, so the housing and key blade are reused.

Important note: To start the vehicle as usual with the flip key, you will also need a transponder for the immobiliser. Unfortunately, the one from the removed original board cannot be reused. A copy (so-called clone) of the immobiliser must be made. Your Thitronik safe.lock Premium Partner will assume this task (link to Dealer finder). Go to the safe.lock Premium Partner with your vehicle and ignition key on the scheduled date.  The transponder is not included in the scope of delivery of our products, but does not have to be organised in advance. The business with the copying device keeps the blanks. If you are interested in having a second remote control key, our safe.lock Premium Partners can offer one to you cheaply and already with secure Thitronik technology.

• Remove WiPro III central panel (or have removed)
• Complete, print out and sign this form
• Send both together to Thitronik (without further accessories or keys!)
• WiPro III receives the upgrade
• WiPro III is returned along with the invoice (to be paid by direct debit
• Central control unit is reinstalled 2 new wires for controlling the central locking system are connected
• Re-teach the existing radio accessories (input and output tests make this step necessary)
• You can now safely lock/unlock your vehicle
• The serial number is changed in the Thitronik app (1050-004 or higher)

Any WiPro III can be upgraded.

In general, to convert the key, you first need a copy of the immobiliser. Our safe.lock Premium Partners will do this. It doesn’t make sense to convert the key beforehand because it will have to be read out in its original form.

A CAN bus in a vehicle is an electronic network that connects electronic control units with information via a 2-wire communication line. For example, original door contacts and wireless remote controls are integrated into the CAN bus.

Thitronik alarm systems do not intervene in the CAN bus, but only passively read out the information. The alarm system is therefore not capable of causing interference in the CAN bus. Even especially ‘sensitive’ vehicles are not affected.

If you do not know the current serial numbers of the WiPro or Pro-finder, you can enter the following values for a nearly complete range of options:

Only the latest functions (starting from 10/2018) ‘locking/unlocking the central locking system’ and ‘teach-in mode’ (easy add 3.0) work on devices with serial numbers starting from:

If your Pro-finder or your WiPro III or WiPro III safe.lock does not support these functions, you can have the devices updated to enable all functions.

You may also hear a 9-tone sequence when you activate the ignition. This is the vent check function, which warns you of any open wireless magnetic contacts when you set off. It is basically a pre-departure check to make sure you don’t lose your roof vents (or similar) en route.

The repeated signal tone in a different pitch (a sequence of 9 short tones that sound before the single (lower) ‘armed’ signal tone) is an indication of the ventilation function.

Through it, WiPro warns you that one or more wireless magnetic contacts are open when you are locking the vehicle. The system is armed and monitors all closed contacts, but the ones that are already open are ignored or excluded from the circuit until the next locking operation. If you want to close the open windows/doors again, you don’t have to disarm/unlock. As soon as you have closed the corresponding openings, they are monitored again by the system after a 4-second delay.

The different signal tones and their meanings are given in the overview below.

You can replace the batteries (CR2032 button cells) in wireless components yourself.

To change the transmitter battery in a wireless magnetic contact:

Lever open the housing at the notch on the long housing side. Take out the printed circuit board and replace the battery with one of the same type (CR2032). Ensure correct polarity when inserting the battery.

To change the transmitter battery in a radio cable loop:

Open the housing by removing the screws on the bottom. Replace the battery with one of the same type (CR2032). Ensure correct polarity and correct alignment of the rubber seal when inserting the battery.

To change the transmitter battery in a wireless remote control:

Open the housing by removing the screws. Replace the battery with one of the same type (CR2032) and ensure correct polarity when inserting.

Please make sure you don’t leave any fingerprints on the button cells when you change the batteries (this can lead to a higher self-discharge rate). Please take button cells to a battery recycling centre or collection point. They can be recycled there.

You can expect to be able to use them for about 2 years. Factors such as the number of transmit signals do not affect the life as much as long cold periods do.

Standard CR2032 button cells are used for the wireless components. These button cells can be stored unused for up to 10 years (heed label). However, the button cells should be replaced every 2 years according to the battery warranty (manufacturer providers a 2-year no-leak guarantee from the time of first use). We recommend the use of brand-name batteries (Panasonic, Varta, Duracell etc.).

Memory aid: Replace the batteries, for example, with every vehicle inspection and/or gas inspection.

A weak battery (< 2.6 V) is indicated by an acoustic signal (5 seconds) on the central control unit triggered by the wireless component and a visual signal (the red ‘transmit LED’ only goes out after about 30 seconds) on the transmitter. If one button cell is weak, it is best to replace all of them.

The quick guide to changing the batteries is available for download in our  Support section.

If a 5-second-long signal tone is emitted by the alarm system, a taught-in accessory part requiring a battery change was actuated immediately before that. This is also indicated by a 30-second-long visual signal on wireless magnetic contacts and radio cable loops.
Occurs:

• when wireless magnetic contacts on doors/windows/hatches are opened/closed
• when remote transmitters and conversion boards are actuated (‘remote controls’)
• when the cable loop is used in the holder

If a wireless accessory sends an alert, the other button cells are probably just as old. A complete change is recommended. Please take button cells to a battery recycling centre or collection point. They can be recycled there.

The quick guide to changing the batteries is available for download in our Support section.

Professionally skilled people are quite capable of installing alarm systems themselves. However, when it comes to connecting to the CAN bus, special expertise, increased precision and the right tool are required. Only through installation at a garage can you be certain that the function will be retained over the long term and you are not endangering your environment or jeopardising the vehicle warranty. Our Premium Partners have personnel who have been additionally trained specifically in our alarm systems and safe.lock Premium Partners also have additional equipment to be able to help you even faster and more competently.

This is exactly what the WiPro III has an alarm memory for. It shows via a blink code on the status LED what the alarm was triggered by after the alarm has been disarmed.  Please also see the chapter on the alarm memory in the operating manual or quick guide.

For Pro-finder users, a plain text alarm text message indicating the cause of the alarm is sent.

Feel free to contact our support team with the noted code or alarm cause.

The WiPro III is a modular system that permits later addition of components at any time.
Thus, you can easily react to changes in the vehicle conditions or your personal safety requirements.

Version 2.0 of the easy-add function enables teach-in of wireless accessories on the central control unit either with a wireless remote control or the driver-side door (CAN):

• Disconnect the power to the WiPro III central control unit for about 10 seconds.
• Reconnect the power and either press the large button / loudspeaker button on the wireless remote control 868 5 times or open and close the driver-side door 5 times within 30 seconds.
• WiPro acknowledges this with a beep and the status LED in the dashboard lights up continuously in red – the alarm system is now ready for teach-in of a new wireless accessory. Now trigger the wireless accessory by opening/closing. From the central control unit, 2 different signal tones sound as acknowledgement.
• Disconnect the power again and reconnect. – That’s it.                                                                                                                                            

In combination with the Pro-finder (software-dependent), the teach-in operation can also be started via a text message command (easy add 3.0) without interrupting the power supply. Please use the Thitronik app for this.

In the conceptual design of all WiPro products, all motion detectors were deliberately done away with.

They are responsible for the bad reputation of alarm systems in the passenger vehicle sector and should not be used in the leisure vehicle segment.

Motion detectors of all types (ultrasound, radar and infrared) are always prone to false alarms. Especially in a motorhome, the conditions are ideal:
curtains moving due to thermal life from heating, lorries driving by, branches hitting the roof, trapped insects etc.
Also, you cannot leave children or animals of any size in the vehicle with activated alarms. Without these alarms, there is no protection; switching them off after lengthy periods is often complicated and not reproducible.

You shouldn’t have to worry about false alarms or the necessity of disconnecting these alarms. In your leisure time, freedom from worries and ease of operation should be in the foreground.
