in under 60 seconds with no alarm triggered
Car immobiliser system built differently
Relay-based. Zero ECU contact. Hands-free proximity disarming. The Ghost alternative that protects your car without risking your warranty.
Most immobilisers on the UK market connect to your car’s ECU network — creating interference risk, PIN lockout frustration, and potential warranty voidance. LockCar systems cut a physical circuit instead. Simpler. Safer. More reliable.

Car immobiliser FAQ
All UK cars manufactured after 1998 have a factory immobiliser. It verifies your key’s chip — but relay attacks bypass this by amplifying your real key’s signal. An aftermarket relay immobiliser adds a second, independent layer the relay attack cannot replicate.
LockCar relay products have zero CAN bus contact. They interrupt an existing circuit — equivalent to an additional switch. Most manufacturers’ warranties are not affected. CAN bus products like Ghost have been confirmed by BMW to void manufacturer warranty.
Every LockCar system includes a backup disarm method and valet mode. You will never be permanently locked out of your own vehicle. Victor provides full guidance on backup procedures at installation.
For most Range Rover owners, yes — zero ECU risk, lower installed price, hands-free disarming, and full app control. For owners who also want GPS and 4G remote monitoring, the ONE Plus is a stronger choice. Full Ghost comparison →
