01 · Overview
Security hidden in plain sight.
CAN-bus immobilisers specified for your exact vehicle, professionally installed without advertising where the protection lives.
Most modern car thefts don't involve a broken window. Thieves relay the signal from a keyless fob, program a new key through the diagnostic port, or inject messages into the car's wiring. A CAN-bus immobiliser stops the car starting whichever route they take, by adding a check they can't pass.
We fit three systems, each authorised a different way: the Pandora Microbot (tag, PIN or phone, and Thatcham Category 2e certified), the CAN-Phantom CP24 (a PIN on the car's own buttons, or your phone) and the Scorpion X-Series (a PIN, or the tag of a paired ScorpionTrack S5 tracker).
Every system is matched to your exact make, model and year before we quote, and fitted out of sight, with no visible sign of where it is.
02 · What's covered
What we do.
01
CAN-Phantom immobilisers
A British-made CAN-bus immobiliser: the engine won't start until a PIN is entered on the car's own buttons, so a cloned or relayed key alone can't drive it away.
02
Scorpion X-Series immobilisers
Scorpion's X-Series CAN-bus immobiliser, disarmed by a PIN on the car's own buttons or the tag of a paired Scorpion S5 tracker.
03
Pandora Microbot
A compact immobiliser that blocks the engine start until the driver is authorised by the Pandora app, a PIN on the car's own buttons, or a tag.

Common theft methods
How cars are stolen now, and how we stop it.
Most modern thefts don't involve a broken window. They exploit the car's own electronics. These are the methods we protect against.
01
Relay attack
Two devices relay the signal from a keyless fob inside your house, so the car thinks the key is standing next to it.
How we stop it: A CAN immobiliser adds a second step, a PIN on the car's own buttons or a tag or phone, so the relayed signal alone won't start the engine.
02
Key programming via the OBD port
With access to the diagnostic port, a blank key can be programmed to the car in minutes.
How we stop it: An aftermarket immobiliser works independently of the car's key system, so a newly programmed key still can't drive it away.
03
CAN injection
Thieves reach the vehicle's wiring, often behind a headlight or wheel arch, and send fake messages that unlock and start the car.
How we stop it: The immobiliser keeps the engine disabled until its own authorisation is given, which injected messages don't provide.
04
Lost or stolen keys
A key that has gone missing can still open and start the car, which matters if it went missing with your address.
How we stop it: New keys are programmed and lost ones are removed from the car's memory, so they stop working.
If the worst happens, a Thatcham-certified S5 or S7 tracker helps get the vehicle back, and is often what insurers ask for. Get a fixed quote for a tracker.

Before you enquire
Questions, answered.
01Will it work on my vehicle?
Compatibility depends on the make, model and year, and on anything already fitted. That's checked before we quote. If a job can't be done properly on your car, we'll tell you straight away.
02How does mobile fitting work?
We come to wherever the vehicle is: your driveway, workplace or a safe roadside spot. All the equipment travels in the van. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, and you'll get a time estimate with your quote.
03How much will it cost?
Every job is priced against the exact vehicle and the work needed, so there's no one-size price list. Send the make, model and year and you'll get a fixed quote before anything is booked.
04What warranty do I get?
Every system we fit comes with its manufacturer's warranty. The manufacturer sets the terms, which vary by product, so we'll tell you what applies to your system when we quote. The fitting work itself is fully insured.
