YOUR CAR
CAN BE STOLEN
in under 60 seconds with no alarm triggered
Why every keyless car needs a CAN bus immobiliser, not just the ones on the theft league tables
It is easy to assume this problem belongs to owners of the most stolen models. It does not. Any car with keyless entry shares the same underlying weakness. LockCar CAN-IMMO closes it, no PIN, no start, regardless of how common or rare your car is.
The misconception that keeps owners exposed
A common assumption goes something like this: theft league tables show Ford Fiestas and BMW 3 Series near the top, so a less common car, or a less flashy one, is somehow safer. That logic mixes up two different things: how often a model is stolen, and how vulnerable it is.
A car appears often in theft statistics partly because there are a lot of them on the road, or because parts demand is high. A car being rare does not mean its keyless entry system is any harder to attack. The underlying weakness, a factory system that starts the engine once it hears a signal it trusts, is close to universal across keyless vehicles.
Why the theft league table is not the full risk picture
A model at the bottom of a theft ranking, or one that does not appear at all, has not necessarily been protected by better technology. It may simply be less common, less profitable to strip for parts, or less in demand right now. That can change. The underlying vulnerability does not change with market demand.
The right question is whether your car uses keyless entry at all. If it does, it shares the same fundamental weakness as every model on the list, whether or not thieves have gotten around to yours yet. LockCar CAN-IMMO adds a second, independent immobiliser that does not rely on that same signal, no PIN, no start, regardless of make or model.

Frequently asked questions
My car is not on any most stolen list, do I still need this?
If your car has keyless entry, it shares the same underlying weakness as the models that are on those lists. Not appearing on a list today does not mean the vulnerability is not there.
What does CAN-IMMO actually mean?
CAN-IMMO is LockCar’s advanced CAN bus vehicle immobiliser. It immobilises the engine independently of the factory keyless system, across CAN bus, LIN bus and ADC bus vehicles, and is controlled from a Bluetooth smartphone app.
Is a CAN bus immobiliser the same as an alarm?
No. An alarm reacts to a break-in with noise. LockCar CAN-IMMO prevents the engine from starting at all, no PIN, no start, until your app or proximity TAG authorises it.
Close the weakness your car shares with every keyless model
LockCar CAN-IMMO is fitted UK-wide by professional installers, vehicle-specific programming included.
