Aus Immobiliser Standard

[govich]

Hi guys, i've been looking at immobilisers lately and for those of you insured with Just Car Insurance (or another company) who require an 'Australian Standard' Immobiliser, i thought you might like a few details. The standard is called the Australian/New Zealand Standard for Vehicle Immobilisers and has code AS/NZS 4601:1999.

All Australian Standards approved immobiliser systems include:

- Automatic immobilisation within 40 seconds of ignition switch-off

- Two independent points of immobilisation

- Connections enclosed in security housing

- All black security wiring

- Flashing dashboard LED when system is armed

- Secure owner PIN override.

I'm currently trying to confirm that the factory (ok there isn't one, so my) R33 immobiliser conforms to this standard. If anyone knows this for sure please tell me .

Cheers

The R33 DOES NOT come with an Australian Standard immobiliser from Factory.

Most "factory" immobilisers were a dealer fit option and they take about as long to get around as it will take you to read this post ( possibly less time).

Get yourself an alarm immobiliser that conforms to standards. There are many around. Just be mindful that it wont be the alarm/immobiliser that saves your car, it will be they way in which the alarm/immobiliser is installed that will mean the difference between your car being stolen or still being where you parked it.

Thanks for that. I bought my car recently and thought the system was factory, as it was done pretty well, but if they weren't standard i know mine's fine.

I guess others could still find the above information useful though.

So have you checked that your system conforms to the Australian Standards you listed.

And if so, when you checked, was the wiring and the immobiliser module easy to find to check?

If it was, get it ripped out and redone.

Theives target skylines and they will very quickly identify and remove your easy to find immobiliser.

I haven't checked but i do know who it was installed by and, well, there's no way it wouldn't comply (i'm being deliberately vague here - i'm paranoid ).

Thanks though.

I wouldnt ask you to tell me in this forum or any other what type of system you have, that defeats the purpose of having one.

I just wanted to check you actually knew if your system complies. Trust me, insurance companies will do anything they can to get out of paying out if the car is stolen.

The R33 factory immobiliser doesn't even come close to Australian Standards or any standards in fact.

Call Security In Motion and they can advise you on this matter.
