The most significant change under the hood is the microcontroller. The older model used a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3. The Pandora R210 New upgrades to the ARM Cortex-M4 with FPU (Floating Point Unit).
The Pandora R210 NEW is ideal for owners of high-risk vehicles (Lexus, Toyota, Land Rover, Kia, Hyundai) that are frequently targeted by CAN-injection thefts. It is also a top choice for luxury daily drivers who want the convenience of hands-free smartphone entry without relying on the insecure factory keyless system. pandora r210 new
