An additional immobiliser introduces an authorisation step into the vehicle's start or drive process. The right choice depends on the car's electronics, the system's supported functions and how you want to use the vehicle. Autosecureshop can assess available options alongside your existing security.

Choose a routine you will actually use

Some systems use a personal PIN through supported vehicle controls; others use a compatible tag or another authorisation method. These are product-specific features, not a promise that every method is available on every car. Discuss the exact model and production year before deciding.

Think about everyday use as well as theft protection. Will a partner drive the car? Will it regularly be moved by a storage facility? How should a technician handle a service visit? A useful recommendation explains these situations before installation.

Compatibility comes before a booking

A vehicle badge is not enough to confirm a fit. Model generation, production year, existing equipment and previous modifications can affect the options. We check the proposed system against your vehicle and explain any limitations before agreeing work. For classic or less common vehicles, an individual assessment is especially important.

What a clear quotation should cover

  • The exact product and the authorisation method being supplied.
  • The fitted price and what is included in the installation.
  • Warranty terms, support and any ongoing costs.
  • Additional drivers, service mode and the approved recovery procedure if a tag is lost or a PIN is forgotten.
  • Any documentation available and whether your insurer accepts the proposed system.

Pair prevention with a recovery plan

An immobiliser and a tracker perform different jobs. If you want both, discuss a compatible package rather than assuming one device covers every situation. Our tracker guide explains the monitoring and subscription questions to ask. Remote immobilisation features, where supplied, must be used only as specified by the manufacturer and never to stop a moving vehicle.

To start, send the make, model, year and fitting postcode. Do not include an existing security PIN or the location of installed devices in an enquiry.
