On this page
Birmingham is the UK’s second-largest city and a hotspot for keyless car theft. The B postcode area covers Birmingham city centre, Sutton Coldfield, Edgbaston, Harborne, Yardley, and dozens of surrounding suburbs. Mercedes-Benz vehicles are among the most frequently targeted by relay thieves due to their premium value and widespread keyless entry systems. LockCar brings professional Mercedes-specific immobiliser installation to Birmingham via a fully mobile fitting service.
Mercedes theft across Birmingham
Birmingham has seen a significant rise in keyless vehicle theft, with Mercedes C-Class, E-Class, GLC, and GLE models being prime targets. The B1–B44 postcode areas include affluent residential neighbourhoods like Edgbaston, Harborne, and Sutton Coldfield, where high-value Mercedes vehicles are commonly parked on driveways overnight.
The M6, M5, and M42 motorways provide organised theft rings with rapid access to Birmingham from across the West Midlands. Thieves can target multiple postcodes in a single night, using relay equipment to amplify key fob signals from inside homes.
West Midlands Police urge Mercedes drivers across Birmingham to use signal-blocking key pouches AND a physical relay immobiliser. The factory Mercedes immobiliser can be bypassed by relay attacks. LockCar adds a physical layer that cannot be electronically defeated.
Relay attacks on Mercedes — the specifics
Mercedes keyless-go systems are vulnerable to relay amplification. Criminals work in pairs: one stands near the house with an amplifier to capture the key fob signal, while the other stands by the car with a transmitter to replicate it. The car believes the key is present and unlocks/starts.
In Birmingham, residential relay attacks typically occur between 10pm and 4am. Properties with Mercedes parked on driveways visible from the road are at highest risk. Sutton Coldfield, Edgbaston, Solihull (B90–B94), and Harborne have reported the highest incidence of Mercedes theft.

How does LockCar differ from Mercedes factory immobiliser?
Factory Mercedes immobiliser communicates with the key fob via radio signal — defeated by relay amplification. LockCar adds a physical relay break in the start circuit requiring separate encrypted authentication. A relay amplifier cannot replicate this signal.
