Abstract - Nowadays, vehicle theft is becoming more common, especially because many vehicles still use simple key based ignition systems. These keys can be easily lost orduplicated, which makes them unsafe. To solve this problem,  we designed a secure ignition system that uses two levels of authentication along with GPS tracking. In our system, the user must first verify their fingerprint and then enter a passwordusing a keypad. Only when both are correct, the vehicle will start. Arduino UNO is used to control all the components. A GPS module is used to track the vehicle location, and NodeMCU ESP8266 sends this data to the cloud so that the user can monitor it. This system increases security and helps in tracking the vehicle easily. Key Words: Vehicle Security, Fingerprint, Password, GPS,Arduino UNO, ESP8266, IoT
