Pandora · Alarms & Immobilisers
A compact, hidden immobiliser. No tag, no drive.
The Pandora IMMO is a two-part immobiliser: a small control unit hidden inside the car and a Bluetooth tag you keep on your keyring. The car recognises your tag as you approach. If someone tries to drive away without it, using a cloned key or a relay-attack device, the IMMO detects the car moving and blocks the engine.
Key Features
The tag talks to the car over Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy using its own 128-bit encryption key and dialogue coding, so it can't be scanned, code-grabbed or copied.
A built-in 3-axis accelerometer senses when the car starts to move. If your tag isn't present, the hidden blocking relay stops the engine.
Nothing changes about how you lock, unlock or start the car. Keep the tag on your keyring and use your normal key or remote.
The system recognises your tag as you approach the car, so there's nothing to press on a normal day.
Leaving the car with a garage or valet? A button on the tag switches the IMMO into service mode, so you don't need to hand the tag over.
Pandora's AntiHijack protection is available as an optional extra. Ask us when you book.
How It Works
The hidden IMMO unit detects your Bluetooth tag as you get close.
The tag and the unit exchange encrypted codes. Only your paired tag gives the right answer.
If the car moves without the tag, the blocking relay stops the engine.

FAQ
Yes, that's what it's designed for. A relay device copies the signal from your factory key, but it can't reproduce the IMMO's encrypted Bluetooth tag, so the car won't drive away without it.
No. Keep the tag on your keyring and drive as normal. The tag is recognised automatically when you're near the car.
