How are thieves stealing cars without the keys?+
Modern organised groups use sophisticated electronic methods that require zero physical damage to the car:
Signal Interception (Relay Theft) - Criminals use hand-held devices to pick up and boost your key's wireless signal. This can happen while your key is on your kitchen counter, in your pocket at a supermarket, or inside a gym locker, fooling the vehicle into unlocking and starting.
Key Cloning - Thieves capture your key's digital code wirelessly or via the diagnostic port to program a blank duplicate fob.
Wiring Network Hacking - Thieves connect directly to the vehicle's internal wiring network (often by removing a headlight or clipping into wires under the bumper) to signal the computer to start the engine without a key.
Our systems are designed specifically to block these digital vulnerabilities.
Do I really need extra security if my car already has it built in?+
Yes. Factory security systems are designed around your key fob. If a thief can copy or intercept that signal, your built-in security offers very little resistance. This affects everyday cars and work vans just as much as premium models. Standard vehicles are frequently targeted for quick resale, parts, or use in other crimes. Our upgrades add extra layers of protection that work completely independently of your factory key.
How effective are these upgrades against professional thieves?+
Our systems are built to disrupt the exact shortcuts modern thieves rely on:
PIN-coded immobilisers stop keyless theft and electronic hacking instantly.
Driver ID tags mean the car will not start even if someone has a cloned or physically stolen key.
Live tracking ensures a swift recovery response if a vehicle is towed away mechanically.
No system can claim absolute immunity, but a properly layered setup makes your vehicle an incredibly difficult, time-consuming target, which is usually enough to make a thief walk away.
What is a Ghost Immobiliser?+
The Ghost Immobiliser is a next-generation security device that prevents your vehicle from starting unless a unique, personalised code sequence is entered via the vehicle's existing buttons. It is undetectable by thieves using diagnostic equipment.
Do I need both a tracker and an immobiliser?+
They form the ideal foundation for vehicle security, but they do completely different jobs.
Immobiliser focuses on prevention- it stops the engine from being started or driven away in the first place.
Tracker focuses on recovery and monitoring- it allows you to see the vehicle's location if it is towed, and is highly useful for businesses or rental companies to monitor a fleet.
While these two layers create an excellent baseline, we can always add further physical or digital security layers depending on your specific risk level.
What does a complete security package look like?+
Real protection comes from layers, not a single device. A typical package combines a PIN-protected immobiliser to stop the car being driven, a tracker for live location and recovery if it is ever taken, and tamper or movement alerts so you are warned the moment something is wrong. Layering these means a thief has to defeat several independent systems instead of one, which is exactly what makes them move on. We will always recommend the right combination for your vehicle, risk level and budget, rather than selling you more than you need.
What happens if my car is stolen?+
If your vehicle is fitted with a tracker, its location can be monitored so it can be traced quickly if it is ever taken. Depending on the system, alerts are raised the moment unauthorised movement is detected, and the tracking data is used to help locate and recover the vehicle and support the police. The sooner a theft is spotted, the better the chance of getting the car back before it is moved on or broken down for parts. We will talk you through exactly how your chosen system handles this at handover.
Are your immobilisers, including the Ghost, insurance approved?+
Many are, yes. We fit a range of immobilisers and trackers, several of which are insurance-approved and recognised by major UK insurers. These include the popular Ghost immobiliser, which is TASSA-verified, along with other systems such as Meta Trak. Approval depends on the specific product and its category, so once we understand your vehicle and your insurer's requirements, we will recommend an approved option and provide the relevant certificate of installation where applicable.
Will a tracker, immobiliser or dash cam drain my battery?+
Under normal use, no — provided the equipment is fitted correctly. Trackers and immobilisers draw minimal power and sit in a low-power standby state when the car is not in use. Dash cams need particular care: poorly wired installations, especially those left recording in parking mode, are a common cause of flat batteries. We fit with proper power management and voltage protection that cuts off before your battery is ever at risk, so your car starts every time. If you plan to leave your vehicle unused for a long period, we will advise on the best way to keep everything healthy.
Is the system difficult to use day to day?+
Not at all. Our security systems are designed to fit into your routine, not disrupt it. Some, like the popular Ghost immobiliser, use a simple PIN sequence entered through buttons already in your car, so there is nothing extra to carry. Others work through a smartphone app, driver ID tag or key fob for quick, effortless access, which is ideal if you start and stop frequently, as couriers often do. Whichever system suits you best, the principle is the same: we teach you exactly how it works at handover, and within a few uses it becomes second nature.
Will fitting a dash cam or camera affect my vehicle?+
No. Installations are clean and non-invasive, with wiring concealed and no impact on your factory systems. We fit dash cameras directly and can arrange reversing cameras and parking sensors — just tell us your vehicle and what you need.
What vehicles do you work with?+
We work with all vehicle types, including cars (luxury, standard, classic, and electric), vans, trucks, and HGVs, commercial fleets and rental vehicles. If your vehicle is specialised just get in touch and we will confirm what options are available for you.
Do you offer mobile installation?+
Yes, we offer a fully mobile service across Central London and within the M25. Our technicians can carry out the installation at your home, workplace, or another convenient location. Just get in touch to arrange a time slot that suits you.
What areas do you cover?+
We cover London and the surrounding areas within the M25 boundary. Head to the Service Area section of this page for a full postcode breakdown, or get in touch if you want to double-check your location.
How long does installation take?+
Most installations are completed within 1–3 hours depending on the product and vehicle. We work efficiently to keep disruption to your day to an absolute minimum and will confirm the expected duration when booking your appointment.
Can Apple CarPlay be added to any car?+
Not every vehicle, but many. Some cars can be activated through software, while others need a retrofit — it depends on your make, model and existing screen. We also fit plug-and-play systems that turn standard CarPlay into a full entertainment hub with streaming, live TV and sport. Send us your vehicle details and we will confirm exactly what yours supports.
Is vehicle coding safe, and can it be undone?+
Yes. Coding only activates features already built into your car's software, such as auto-folding mirrors or comfort and convenience settings — it does not alter your core factory systems, and changes can be reversed. We confirm what is available for your specific model before we begin.
How much do your services cost?+
It depends entirely on your vehicle and the specific equipment you choose. We always provide a clear, itemised quote following an initial assessment, with no hidden fees and no surprises.
Are there any ongoing subscription fees?+
It depends on the specifications of the hardware you choose:
Trackers: Most require a subscription for 24/7 emergency monitoring and police recovery coordination.
Dash Cams: Standard setups have no ongoing costs, but premium smart cams with live cloud streaming or remote viewing require a data subscription.
Immobilisers: A one-time installation with zero ongoing fees.
Infotainment Upgrades: A one-off installation fee. Any personal app accounts (like Spotify or Netflix) are managed by you.
Are you certified and insured?+
Yes. All of our technicians are fully trained, vetted, and insured. We only install products from approved, reputable automotive manufacturers and provide full compliance documentation with every job.
What kind of warranty do you offer?+
All of our installations come with full hardware manufacturer warranties, alongside our own dedicated technical support. The exact warranty length varies depending on the specific product and service you choose. We provide comprehensive support within the standard warranty period and also offer our own separate extended warranty packages for long-term peace of mind.
Will installation affect my vehicle's main manufacturer warranty?+
No. Our installations are non-invasive and do not alter your vehicle's core factory systems or wiring networks. This ensures your manufacturer warranty remains fully intact.
What if I sell my vehicle in the future?+
You have two straightforward options:
1. Keep the upgrades with the car: This can increase the vehicle's resale value. If you choose this option, please put us in touch with the new owner so we can update our records, transfer the technical support logs, and help them manage any active subscriptions.
2. Move the system: We can professionally remove the equipment and refit it to your next vehicle, provided it is compatible.
Standard removal and refitting fees apply.
