How the LockCar App Guide UK
The app is your direct line to the security hardware fitted in your car. It turns a hidden device into something you can see and control.
- Arm and disarm from your phone
- Check your immobiliser is armed, or disarm it remotely on compatible models, without needing to be next to the car.
- Live GPS tracking on a map
- See where your vehicle is right now, and review where it has been, on 4G-connected systems.
- Live camera view
- On LockCar One Plus and Duo Plus 4G models, open a real-time video stream to see what is happening around your car.
- Instant theft alerts
- Get a push notification the moment the vehicle moves while armed, or if the dashcam detects an impact.
- Multiple users per vehicle
- Add family members or colleagues to the same vehicle, each with their own login, so everyone stays informed.
- No subscription
- The app is free, and your LockCAR immobiliser has no monthly fee. You pay for the hardware once.
Which LockCar app do you need?
There are three apps, and the right one depends on your LockCAR hardware and how you use your vehicle.
LockCar app (iOS and Android)
For drivers with a 4G-connected system like LockCar One Plus or Duo RH Plus. Gives you GPS tracking, live camera, remote immobilisation and all your alerts in one place.
LockCar IMMO app
For standalone immobiliser units such as the IC3262 fob kit or PIN code system. It connects directly to the device over Wi-Fi to arm, disarm and check status. It is a useful backup if you forget your tag.
LFM fleet app
For businesses running five or more vehicles. It shows every vehicle on one map, lets you review driver behaviour and journey history, and supports remote immobilisation on compatible 4G dashcam systems.

- You can act on a live alertIf you get a movement alert at night, you can open the camera stream and see what is happening immediately.
- It stops relay and key-cloning theftThe immobiliser blocks the engine start, and the app confirms it is active. No fob, ring, watch or PIN means no start.

Questions drivers ask about the LockCar app
What does the LockCar app actually do?
The LockCar app is the control centre for your vehicle security. It lets you arm and disarm your immobiliser, see your car on a live GPS map, view a live camera feed on 4G models, and receive instant alerts if the vehicle moves or is tampered with.
How many LockCar apps are there?
There are three. The main LockCar app (iOS and Android) is for drivers with a 4G-connected system. The LockCar IMMO app is for standalone immobilisers. The LFM app is for fleet managers running five or more vehicles.
Do I need a subscription to use the LockCar app?
No. LockCAR immobilisers need no subscription. You pay for the hardware once, and the app is free to download and use. For 4G features, you need a data SIM inside the unit.
Can the LockCar app stop my car from being stolen?
The app is a control and monitoring tool. The immobiliser itself stops the engine from starting without your fob, ring, watch or PIN. The app lets you check the vehicle is armed and see alerts if someone tries to move it, so you can act quickly.
Does the LockCar app work with any car?
LockCAR immobilisers work on 12 V and 24 V vehicles. Use the Vehicle CHECK on our website to confirm your specific make and model before booking a fitting.
Can more than one person use the app on the same car?
Yes. Multiple user accounts can be linked to one vehicle. The owner or fleet administrator controls who has access and can add or remove users at any time.
Is the LockCar app free?
