Message us on WhatsAppTypes of car immobiliser and how to choose between them
Immobilisers come in several forms, from the chip in your key to a lock on the steering wheel. LockCAR makes CAN immobilisers in Birmingham with four ways to disarm them. This guide compares the common types so you can choose one that suits your car and your habits.
- Fob, ring, watch or PIN
- 12 V and 24 V
- Made in the UK
The main kinds of immobiliser
Most cars already have the first. The question is what to add.
- Transponder immobiliser
- The factory system. A chip in the key is read by a coil at the ignition or start button.
- Mechanical immobiliser
- A steering wheel lock, pedal lock or wheel clamp. Thieves can see it, but you have to fit it every time.
- Wired aftermarket immobiliser
- An older style that cuts a circuit, such as the starter, until it is disarmed.
- CAN bus immobiliser
- Works with the messages on the car’s data network rather than only cutting a wire. LockCAR immobilisers are CAN bus immobilisers.
- Remote immobilisation
- Blocks a vehicle on command. At LockCAR this is part of the LFM Fleet Monitoring Platform, on vehicles with a compatible LockCAR 4G dashcam system.
Factory, mechanical and wired immobilisers each do one narrow job. A CAN bus immobiliser suits modern cars built around a data network, and it can be disarmed in more ways than one: a fob, a ring, a watch or a PIN.
Four ways to disarm a LockCAR immobiliser
Same idea in every model: the engine stays blocked until you prove it’s you.
| Immobiliser | How you disarm it | Hands-free | Kit price | Fitted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fob (TAG), IC3262 | Carry the TAG | Yes | £139 | £249 |
| Smart ring | Wear the paired ring | Yes | £149 | Ask us |
| Smartwatch | Wear your smartwatch, no extra fob | Yes | £160 | Ask us |
| PIN code | Enter your sequence on the steering wheel buttons | With optional TAG | £189 | £299 |
The fitted prices shown are for the TAG and PIN code versions. For a smart ring or smartwatch fitted by an approved installer, ask us on WhatsApp.
Every model in the table works with your normal car key. You keep starting the car the way you do now, with one extra condition before the engine runs.
Which type suits you
Hands-free: TAG, ring or watch
Suits drivers who want nothing extra to do. The engine is free to start when your paired device is with you.
Nothing to carry: PIN code
Suits drivers who lose things or share the car. The code is in your head, entered on the steering wheel buttons.
If you are torn, think about the last time you lost your keys. If it was recently, the PIN code version is the safer choice. If you never leave home without your watch, the smartwatch version fits your habits.
How immobilisers have changed
The key only turned a lock
Early cars started for any blade that fitted, or for two wires joined behind the steering column.
A chip in the key
Transponder immobilisers made the engine wait for a coded chip, which made hot-wiring far harder.
Keyless entry and start
The key no longer had to leave your pocket. Handy for drivers, and it gave thieves the relay attack.
A second check after the key
Added immobilisers such as LockCAR’s ask for proof the car key cannot give, closing the gap keyless entry opened.
That history explains today’s question. It is no longer whether a car has an immobiliser, but whether the key is its only check.
Make any type work harder
- Keep the TAG off your key ringIf both are stolen together, the thief has both proofs.
- Layer mechanical and electronicA steering lock thieves can see, plus an immobiliser they cannot, means two problems instead of one.
- Pick the one you will useA PIN only protects you if you use it, and a fob only if you keep it apart from the key.
Whichever type you choose, ask the installer to walk you through it before they leave.
Questions about immobiliser types
Which type of immobiliser is most secure?
It depends on the theft you face. For keyless cars, choose a type that asks for something the car key cannot provide, such as a separate TAG or a PIN.
What is a CAN bus immobiliser?
An immobiliser that works with the car’s own data network rather than only cutting wires. Read more about LockCAR as a UK CAN immobiliser manufacturer.
Is a steering wheel lock an immobiliser?
Yes, a mechanical one. It does not stop the engine, but it makes the car hard to drive and easy to see.
Can I have a PIN and a TAG?
Yes. The PIN code immobiliser can be used with an optional TAG.
Does the smartwatch version need an extra fob?
No. You wear the smartwatch, with no extra fob to carry.
Which types does LockCAR make?
CAN bus immobilisers disarmed by fob (TAG), smart ring, smartwatch or PIN code, and dashcam systems with a built-in immobiliser.
Do mechanical immobilisers still have a place?
Yes, as a visible extra. A steering or pedal lock tells a thief the car will take time, and it works alongside an electronic immobiliser.
