Message us on WhatsAppCat 5 trackers in Birmingham: what they are and what to fit
LockCAR designs and builds vehicle security in Birmingham, and our approved installers fit across the city’s B postcodes. Drivers often ask us for a Cat 5 tracker after an insurer or a forum mentions one. This page explains what the term means, where LockCAR fits in, and how to stop relay and CAN bus thieves.

- Tracker and immobiliser
- Fitted at home or work
What does Cat 5 actually mean?
Cat 5 is shorthand for Thatcham’s former Category 5: a tracking system with automatic driver recognition. The driver carries an ID tag, and the system raises an alert if the car moves without it. Thatcham now calls this category S5. A tracker without driver recognition falls under S7.
Insurers sometimes ask for an S5 tracker on high-value or high-risk cars. If your policy says so, it is a condition of cover, not a suggestion, and the insurer decides what meets it.
The difference shows in running costs too. Thatcham-rated tracking normally relies on a monitored centre and a monthly fee, while a LockCAR immobiliser is paid for once, with no subscription.
Where LockCAR stands: LockCAR trackers are not Thatcham S5 or S7 rated, and LockCAR is not Thatcham approved. Our immobilisers are going through Thatcham Security Certification. If your insurer insists on an S5 tracker, check with them before you buy anything.
Why Birmingham drivers ask about tracking
Questions about trackers usually start with one of these worries.
- Relay theft on drivewaysA keyless car can be unlocked and started with a relayed fob signal while the key sits inside the house.
- CAN bus injectionThieves reach the car’s wiring, often behind a headlight, and send the commands that open it.
- Fast routes outWith the M6, M5 and M42 close by, a stolen car can be a long way from Birmingham very quickly.
- Recovery needs a locationA tracker gives the police a position to work with once the car has gone.
Your insurer wants a Cat 5 tracker. What now?
Do these three things before you spend money on any system.
Read the exact wording
Find the category your policy names, such as S5, S7, Category 1 or Category 2, and check whether it applies to your car’s value or postcode.
Ask about alternatives
Ask the insurer in writing whether a tracker and immobiliser without a Thatcham rating would be accepted, and keep the reply with your policy.
Then choose your system
If the answer is S5 only, fit an S5 system. If not, compare the LockCAR options below on what they actually stop.
LockCAR options for B postcodes
An immobiliser stops the car being driven. A tracker helps you find it if it is carried away. The Plus 4G systems do both.
| Option | Stops the engine starting | GPS tracking | Price fitted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fob (TAG) immobiliser | Yes | No | £249 |
| PIN code immobiliser | Yes | No | £299 |
| LockCar One Plus 4G | Yes | Yes, with a 4G dashcam | £499 |
| LockCar Duo RH Plus 4G | Yes | Yes, with a dual-camera 4G dashcam | £699 |
On a keyless car, start with the immobiliser. It deals with relay and CAN bus attacks, the quiet methods that need the engine to start. Add tracking if the car is valuable or often parked out of sight.

Cat 5 tracker questions from Birmingham drivers
What is a Cat 5 tracker?
It is the old name for a Thatcham Category 5 tracking system, which tracks the car and recognises the driver through an ID tag. Thatcham now calls this category S5.
Is a LockCAR tracker Cat 5 or S5 rated?
No. LockCAR trackers do not hold a Thatcham rating, and LockCAR is not Thatcham approved. Our immobilisers are going through Thatcham Security Certification.
My insurer asked for a Cat 5 tracker. Will a LockCAR system do?
Only your insurer can answer that. Ask them in writing whether they accept a tracker and immobiliser without a Thatcham rating, and keep the reply with your policy.
Does a tracker stop relay or CAN bus theft?
A tracker helps you find the car after it has gone. The immobiliser is what stops it starting. The LockCar One Plus 4G gives you both.
Which parts of Birmingham do you cover?
Approved installers fit across Birmingham’s B postcodes, at your home, at work or at an installation centre. Send your postcode on WhatsApp to book.
How long does fitting take?
Most fittings take 60 to 90 minutes, and the installer tests the system with you before leaving.
Should I still use a steering lock?
If it helps, yes. It is a visible deterrent that slows a thief down. It does not stop a relay or CAN bus attack from starting the car, which is why the immobiliser matters more on a keyless car.
