01 · Overview
What it is.
Storm cuts at least two circuits the car needs to run, and stays armed until you authorise it with the Bluetooth tag, a secret code on the dashboard or steering-wheel buttons, or the Pandora Connect app.
Pandora builds it to be upgraded later: alarm sensors, tracking and remote start can be added to the same system.

Before you enquire
Pandora Storm, answered.
01Is the Storm Thatcham approved?
Yes. It holds a Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser certificate (TSC522). If you choose to disarm it by code, the tag must be chosen as well to keep that rating.
02How do I disarm it?
With the Bluetooth tag in your pocket, a secret code entered on the car's own dashboard and steering-wheel buttons, or the Pandora Connect app. Disarming by code is only available on some vehicles, so we check that for your make and model.
03Does it track the car?
No. Storm is an immobiliser only, with no subscription. If you want tracking and alerts on your phone, Storm Plus adds them to the same immobiliser.
04Can I add to it later?
Yes. Pandora builds Storm to be upgraded: alarm sensors, tracking and remote start can be added to the same system.
