How a LockCAR immobiliser protects your BMW
Your BMW’s factory keyless system unlocks and starts the car when it sees the key fob. A relay amplifier copies that signal, so the car thinks the key is present. LockCAR adds a second check the amplifier cannot copy.
- Secondary encrypted authentication
- The engine stays blocked until you disarm the LockCAR immobiliser with your TAG, smart ring, smartwatch or PIN code. A relay device cannot supply that second signal.
- Hardwired into the CAN bus
- The immobiliser interrupts the engine start circuit at the CAN bus, so it works with your BMW’s existing electronics rather than fighting them.
- No monthly subscription
- You pay once for the kit and the fitting. There is no plan to renew and nothing to chase.
- Works on 12 V and 24 V vehicles
- Our immobilisers suit BMW cars and light commercial vehicles. Check your car with the Vehicle CHECK before you book.
- Keeps working when the key is copied
- Even if thieves capture your key fob signal, the engine will not start without the second authentication.
- Fitted by approved installers
- LockCAR approved installers fit at your home, at work or at an installation centre across Brownhills and the wider West Midlands.

Yes. Our mobile installers cover the whole WS8 postcode area, plus Aldridge (WS9), Lichfield (WS13-WS14) and Burntwood (WS7). We fit at your home, at work or at an installation centre.
Which BMW models are most at risk from relay theft?
Any BMW with factory keyless entry can be targeted, but the 3 Series, 5 Series, X3 and X5 are the models we see most often. The factory system unlocks and starts the car when a relay amplifier copies the key fob signal, so a secondary immobiliser is the answer.
How does a LockCAR immobiliser stop a relay attack?
It adds a second, encrypted check in the engine circuit. Even if thieves unlock your BMW with a relay device, the engine stays blocked until you disarm the LockCAR immobiliser with your TAG, smart ring, smartwatch or PIN code.
Will fitting an immobiliser affect my BMW warranty?
Our immobilisers are non-invasive and connect to the CAN bus. We recommend telling your BMW dealer that a LockCAR immobiliser is fitted so they are aware when servicing the car.
Do I need a subscription for a LockCAR immobiliser?
No. You pay once for the kit and the fitting. There is no monthly plan to renew.
