Meet the people behind LockCAR vehicle security

LockCAR is a UK vehicle security manufacturer specialising in immobilisers, GPS trackers and 4G dashcams. Our work brings together automotive electronics, security technology and connected vehicle systems to help drivers protect their cars against theft.

We develop security solutions for private motorists and businesses, with products fitted through approved installers. Whether you want to make your car harder to steal, add tracking to a vehicle or improve security across a fleet, our focus is on practical technology that fits the way you use your vehicle.

Vehicle theft methods continue to evolve, so effective protection needs to consider more than a traditional alarm. Our approach combines electronic immobilisation, vehicle tracking and connected security options to give drivers different ways to protect their vehicles.

Choosing the right equipment starts with understanding your car, your concerns and the level of protection you need. We aim to make those choices clearer by explaining how our systems work and helping customers identify suitable products and installation options.

Making modern car security easier to understand

Our mission is to provide drivers with smarter vehicle protection that goes beyond relying on the factory-fitted security alone. We develop products designed to help prevent unauthorised starting, support vehicle recovery and give owners more control over their vehicle security.

Different cars and drivers have different needs. Some owners want an immobiliser that prevents the engine from starting without authorisation. Others want additional protection against relay attacks, a way to locate their vehicle or camera footage from journeys and incidents. Businesses may also need a practical way to monitor and protect multiple vehicles.

That is why the LockCAR range includes several types of security equipment rather than relying on one solution for every situation. The aim is to help you understand the available options and choose a combination that suits your vehicle, circumstances and budget.

We also recognise that convenience matters. Security should fit into everyday driving, whether that means entering a PIN, using an authorised TAG or managing supported functions through a mobile app. The right choice depends on the product, vehicle compatibility and the features you want.

How our vehicle security technology helps protect your car

These technologies can complement one another, but they are not interchangeable. An immobiliser helps prevent unauthorised use, a tracker supports location monitoring and a dashcam records video. We encourage drivers to consider the risks they want to address before choosing their equipment.

How immobilisers help defend against relay attacks and key cloning

Keyless cars can be targeted by thieves using relay equipment to extend communication between a vehicle and its key. Depending on the vehicle and attack method, this can make the car believe its authorised key is nearby. Electronic vehicle security can add another layer of protection rather than relying solely on the original key system.

A relay immobiliser can require a separate authorisation method before the vehicle is allowed to start. Depending on the model, that might involve a PIN, an authorised TAG or another supported control method. Keeping the additional authorisation separate from the vehicle’s standard key can make an unauthorised start more difficult.

CAN bus immobilisers take a different approach by interacting with the vehicle’s electronic network. The appropriate system depends on the vehicle’s compatibility and the intended installation. No security product should be treated as a guarantee against every theft method, so choosing suitable equipment and having it fitted correctly both matter.

If you are concerned about keyless theft, start by comparing the available CAN immobiliser and anti-hijack protection options. You can then discuss your vehicle and the features you need with LockCAR or an approved installer.

What to expect when you arrange vehicle security installation

LockCAR products are fitted through approved installers. The process starts with identifying your vehicle and the security features you want, then selecting a suitable product and arranging installation.

Installation requirements vary by product and vehicle. The fitting method, time required and available appointment options should be confirmed with the installer before booking. This is particularly important when choosing an electronic immobiliser, as vehicle compatibility and the correct configuration affect how it operates.

After fitting, make sure you understand how to arm and disarm the system, what to do if an authorised TAG or control device is unavailable and how to access any supported app features. Knowing how your equipment works helps you use it confidently in everyday driving.

Vehicle security prices, fitting and UK coverage

The cost of protecting your car depends on the equipment you choose, its features and the installation required. A PIN-based CAN immobiliser, a hands-free TAG system, a GPS tracker and a connected dashcam provide different functions, so it is worth comparing what each option delivers rather than choosing on price alone.

LockCAR product prices vary by model. Check the current product listing and confirm the total cost, including any applicable fitting charges, before placing an order or arranging an appointment. Where a product includes installation, check the terms and arrangements that apply to your vehicle and location.

LockCAR supplies vehicle security products for the UK market, with fitting arranged through approved installers. Availability depends on the product and the installer serving your area. Contact us with your postcode and vehicle details to discuss the options available to you.

If you manage several vehicles, it can also help to consider whether you need immobilisation, location monitoring or camera coverage across the fleet. Discussing your requirements first can make it easier to identify the right equipment for each vehicle and understand the installation arrangements.

We do not assume that one security package suits every driver. Our aim is to help you make an informed choice based on the risks you are concerned about, the features you will use and the cost of the equipment and fitting.
