Steering locks, Faraday pouches, aftermarket immobilisers, trackers — they all do a piece of the job. Here's an honest look at where each one helps, and where IMMOSTOP goes further: two cut points, automatic phone control, and a tag that can't be cloned.
What actually matters when a modern car is targeted — stopping a keyless or relay theft, with no habit to remember and nothing a thief can copy.

A tracker is about recovery after the car is taken; IMMOSTOP is about stopping it being driven away in the first place. The two work well together — which is why tracking is coming to the IMMOSTOP app.
One simple, honest price. The immobiliser and fitting are all-in — the extras below are optional.
