What is an immobilizer?
Immobilizers are the only true method of THEFT PREVENTION as they stop unauthorized vehicle or equipment movement while other security devices focus on TRACKING AND RECOVERY after a vehicle or equipment are stolen.
An Immobilizer is an electronic device that arms automatically when the vehicle is switched off and prevents unauthorized moving or starting of the vehicle, accomplished through disengagement of engine operating circuits or vital engine control units

When it's in the hands of a thief, a stolen vehicle is like a loaded gun. Vehicle thieves have absolutely no regard for public safety or the rules of the road and don’t care about your vehicle or equipment, often causing serious damage that may not be apparent upon recovery. Simply getting your property back (if you are lucky) doesn’t insure that it is still as reliable as it used to be. Many victims report that their vehicle is never the same once it’s been stolen. The only assurance is preventing the vehicle from being driven away in the first place.
JUST AS IMPORTANT, and perhaps less recognized, is the emotional upset, hours of wasted time, loss of irreplaceable belongings, and disruption to lifestyles that occur when a vehicle is stolen. As well, other crimes are often committed using stolen vehicles. People who have experienced a theft often report feeling personally violated by the experience and feel that their community is less safe.
Organizations like the National Insurance Crime Bureau and the Insurance Bureau of Canada include immobilizers as one of their top tips to protect your vehicle against theft.
