  • Immobilizer - prevent anyone from starting the vehicle without scanning an iButton first.
  • Authorized driving - keep track of who is driving your vehicle according to the iButton ID they use to authenticate themselves.
  • AutoGeofencing – gives ability to know when car leaves customized areas without iButton authorization.

Device configuration

The reader works as soon as it is connected, but the iButton isn't used anywhere other than displayed in the iButton I/O element. In order to use it for the Immobilizer scenario, the device must have the scenario enabled. Then, iButton check can be enabled to only accept iButtons specified in the iButton list under the 1-Wire tab.
