Set-and-forget protection against modern car theft
Losing the family car is never just losing a car. It’s the school run gone, the commute gone, the week of insurance calls, the courtesy-car queue, the child seats and buggy that were in the boot — and a premium that never quite settles back down. Pandora Car Alarms believes prevention should be the default, and has priced and designed its Microbot immobiliser for exactly that: fitted once at home, protected for good.
Modern family cars are stolen quietly. Two people with relay boxes — one near the front door picking up the key’s signal through the wall, one standing by the car — can unlock and start a keyless car in under a minute, without force and without a sound. Most owners only find out when they look out of the window.
Once a Microbot is fitted, that theft simply doesn’t happen:
- The car only starts and drives with your tag present. A relayed signal, a cloned key or a swapped ECU gets a thief nowhere — the car stays exactly where you left it.
- The doors lock themselves as you pull away — and the windows lift when the car locks. Small, automatic habits that protect everyone in the car, on every trip.
- Anti-hijack is built in. If the car is ever taken with someone inside, or you’re forced out of it, it safely immobilises soon after — it can’t be driven away under duress.
- There’s nothing to remember and nothing to pay monthly. No app, no account, no subscription. And the Microbot never tracks the car — it protects your family without watching them.
Fitting is free, mobile and nationwide: a certified engineer comes to home or work — typically within 72 hours of ordering — and fits the device concealed in the vehicle loom, with no visible LED and no cut wires.
A spokesperson for Pandora Car Alarms said: “An alarm shouts. A tracker helps you chase a car that’s already gone. For a family, both are too late — the damage is done the moment the car leaves the drive. The Microbot stops the theft happening at all, and then never asks for anything again. That’s what set-and-forget should mean.”
