New car, new risk: why day one is the right time to fit LockCar CAN-IMMO
A brand new keyless car feels like the safest car you have ever owned. In one specific way, it can be the opposite: the newest keyless systems are often the least tested by criminals yet, not the least vulnerable.
The assumption new owners make
It feels intuitive: a brand new car has the latest technology, so it should have the latest security too. For some specific manufacturer features, such as motion-sensing fobs that stop transmitting when still, that is genuinely true and helps.
But most stolen vehicles in the UK are not old bangers. They tend to be relatively recent, often only a couple of years old, precisely because that is the sweet spot of high resale value, active parts demand, and keyless entry as standard. New does not mean untouched by thieves. It often means more attractive to them.
Why newer keyless tech is not automatically safer
New Systems Are Untested at Scale
A keyless system that has only been on the road for months has not yet been through years of real-world scrutiny by criminal networks looking for weaknesses.
Newer Often Means More Desirable
Higher resale value and stronger parts demand make recently released models an attractive target the moment enough of them are on the road.
Security Features Are Not All Standard
Not every new keyless car ships with the most advanced protections. Trim level and manufacturer vary widely.
Why fitting on day one beats waiting until something happens
There is no real downside to fitting LockCar CAN-IMMO early. It does not interfere with daily use, once your Bluetooth TAG or phone is recognised the engine starts exactly as normal, and it does not require you to wait for a manufacturer software update that may never arrive for your specific model or trim. The only cost of waiting is the window of time your car spends without the extra layer.
A car does not become a target only once it appears on a theft statistics table. The exposure exists from the day it leaves the forecourt with keyless entry fitted. LockCar CAN-IMMO can be programmed to your specific vehicle at delivery or at any point afterwards, no PIN, no start, until it recognises you.

Frequently asked questions
Will fitting LockCar CAN-IMMO void my new car warranty?
Installation is professional and vehicle-specific, using a documented installation guide for your model. We recommend checking your specific manufacturer’s warranty terms, as you would for any aftermarket security device.
Can it be fitted before I even collect the car?
Get in touch with your make, model, and expected delivery date to discuss timing options with an installer.
Does a newer car with a motion-sensing fob still need this?
Motion-sensing fobs help against some signal-based attacks specifically, but do not touch the immobiliser layer at all. LockCar CAN-IMMO adds a second, independent immobiliser that does not depend on the factory fob.
Protect your new car from day one, not after something happens
