In Kenya, car theft and vehicle misuse are real and increasing problems. You can’t always control what happens to your vehicle—but what if you could turn off your car’s engine from your phone during a theft or when your driver goes rogue?
That’s exactly what a car tracking system with remote engine shut down allows you to do.
At Reimons Car Tracking & Alarm Systems, we install powerful tracking systems that give you total control over your car, wherever you are in Kenya.
What is Remote Engine Shut Down?
Remote engine shut down is a feature that allows you to disable your vehicle’s engine remotely, using your phone, app, or computer.
If your car is stolen or being misused, you can cut the fuel or ignition—forcing the car to stop when it slows down or parks. Once you locate the vehicle, you can recover it safely.
This feature is ideal for:
- Car theft recovery
- Loaned vehicles with misbehaving drivers
- Matatus, school vans, or taxis with route violations
- Motorbikes doing unauthorized trips
How It Works
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Tracker Installed | We fit your car or motorbike with a GPS tracking system and engine relay. |
| 2. Live Monitoring | You track the vehicle on your phone using the Reimons GPS app. |
| 3. Cut Command Sent | If needed, you tap “Engine Off” on the app. |
| 4. Engine Disabled | The tracker interrupts the ignition or fuel supply—stopping the engine. |
| 5. Engine Re-Enabled | Once recovered, you restart the engine remotely with one tap. |
Note: For safety, the engine cut-off only activates when the vehicle slows or stops.
