Car immobiliser Tamworth: choose how your car recognises you
LockCAR is a Birmingham company that designs and makes CAN bus immobilisers in the UK, and our approved installers fit them across Tamworth and the B77, B78 and B79 postcodes. This page helps you pick the right way to start your car, by TAG, PIN code, smart ring or smartwatch, and shows what each one costs. Fitting takes place at your home, at your work or at an installation centre.
- B77, B78 and B79 covered
- TAG £249 or PIN £299 fitted
- No subscription
Which immobiliser suits the way you drive
Every LockCAR immobiliser does the same job: no proof, no start. The difference is how you give that proof, so start with your routine rather than the product.
- You want nothing about your day to change
- Choose the TAG (IC3262). It lives on your key ring or in a pocket, and the car starts as normal when it is near. Kit £139, or £249 fitted.
- Two or three people share the car
- Choose the PIN code immobiliser. Everyone who drives it learns the same short sequence on the steering wheel buttons, so there are no extra fobs to hand round. Kit £189, or £299 fitted.
- You never take your watch off
- Choose the smartwatch version. The watch you already wear becomes the proof, with no extra fob at all. Kit £160.
- You would rather wear it than carry it
- Choose the smart ring. It stays on your finger at the gym, on a run or at the pool, and the car knows it is you. Kit £149.
- You drive a van for work
- Any of the four will do. LockCAR immobilisers work on 12 V and 24 V vehicles, and a PIN suits vans with more than one driver.
Still unsure? Tell us who drives the car and how you use it, and we will suggest one. The car immobiliser with fob page explains the TAG in more detail.
What changes once it is fitted, and what stays the same
Drivers often worry that an extra immobiliser will make the car awkward to live with. It is fitted alongside your factory system, so very little changes for you.
What it does
- Blocks the engine until your TAG, PIN, ring or watch is recognised
- Stops a car opened with a relayed keyless signal from being driven away
- Stops a newly programmed key from starting the engine
- Works the same at home, at work or in a car park
- Keeps working with no subscription to pay
What it does not change
- How you lock and unlock the car
- Your factory immobiliser, alarm or original keys
- Your dashboard: there is no new keypad to see
- Where the car is: it does not track location on its own
If you also want to see where the car is, the LockCar One Plus 4G combines a dashcam, a GPS tracker and an immobiliser for £499 fitted. For most Tamworth drivers, though, stopping the engine from starting is the part that matters most.
Why Tamworth drivers add a second lock
- Fast roads out of townTamworth sits beside the A5 and the M42, so a car taken in the early hours can be a long way off before anyone notices.
- Keyless cars are quiet to stealA relay box can open and start many keyless cars without a sound. An independent immobiliser adds a check the relay box cannot pass.
- Parked away from homeAt a retail park, the station or a work car park, the immobiliser protects the car exactly as it does on your drive.
- One payment, then nothingYou pay for the immobiliser once. There is nothing monthly to remember or cancel.

Questions from drivers in Tamworth
Do you cover Fazeley and the villages around Tamworth?
Yes. We arrange approved installers across B77, B78 and B79, including Fazeley and the villages nearby. Send your postcode on WhatsApp and we will confirm.
Does it suit vans and pickups?
Yes. LockCAR immobilisers work on 12 V and 24 V vehicles. Send us the make and model, or run the Vehicle CHECK, and we will confirm the right module.
Will keyless entry still work?
Yes. You unlock with your keyless fob as normal. The immobiliser only steps in when someone tries to start the engine without your TAG, PIN, ring or watch.
Should I buy the kit or have it fitted?
Kits start at £139, but fitting means working on the car’s wiring. Most drivers choose an approved installer: £249 for the TAG or £299 for the PIN code.
Is there an ongoing fee?
No. You pay once. LockCAR immobilisers need no subscription.
Is the immobiliser Thatcham approved?
Not yet. LockCAR immobilisers are going through Thatcham Security Certification. Tell your insurer about any security you add to the car.
