An electronic immobiliser is a device fitted to the vehicle that disables the engine of your vehicle when it is not in operation by you. Some newer vehicles have these factory fitted by the manufacturer and are normally shown within your vehicle brochure. It is also possible to have one fitted by a garage or specialist, who would supply a certificate of installation detailing the exact model of your vehicle's immobiliser. A copy of your fitment certificate may be required.
A manual immobiliser is a device which is usually placed on the steering wheel or gear lever of your vehicle.
There are two types of Thatcham graded immobiliser:
T2 = An immobiliser that has been judged to comply to the Thatcham criteria.
T1 = An alarm/immobiliser combination that has been judged to comply to the Thatcham criteria.
