A Car Theft Crisis in Melbourne
Jon was educated in Melbourne and holds qualifications in Business - Accounting and Engineering Electronics - Military systems.
Jon’s passion for Motorsport led him to working with race teams here and overseas and it’s been these experiences, and his love of cars that saw him establishing Auto-Fidelity in 1991 and then Automotive Integration (AIS) in 2010, the latter adopting a more targeted approach to the premium motoring marques. AIS today specialises in automotive electronics system solutions and product development, first and foremost cutting-edge vehicle and marine security and bespoke hi end audio systems.
The digital age has brought major advances, but it has also allowed thieves to use technology like key cloning electronics more effectively with more than 32,000 thefts in Victoria in 2025. Melbourne has seen an 83.9% rise in auto theft since 2022, with insurance payouts reaching $234 million last year. The days where a steering wheel locks or simpler “plug & play” immobilisers being effective deterrents are long gone.
As a result, insurers are urging owners to improve vehicle security. AIS has been instrumental in Australia in developing specific, effective technology to outsmart those who might want to help themselves to your daily drive or that special collectible car.
Join us for a fascinating open discussion over lunch with Jon where he will give us a true and accurate picture of the current situation here in Victoria around car security and form a better understanding of the now essential technology available to protect your automotive assets.
Lunch and welcome drink $45 ($50 on the day)
