Immobiliser

[thedriver]

Does anyone know if the Stagea (S2) comes with a factory immobiliser? If so, how many points does it work on?

I need to know if I have to go a buy an immobiliser.

At least, mine didnt....but that doesnt say much

Anyone with an S2 know???

[chook]

mine doesnt, and im pretty sure none did, ive just installed a 'proximity' 2 point immobiliser, auto arm and disarm, still get to keep and use the factory keyless remote.

[mcnamg]

had a quick squizz at the spec sheets i have and cant see an immobiliser

Anyone had any experience with the Powerlock immobiliser???

Following extracted from the CarSafe website (just in case you are looking for an immobiliser):

STANDARD FEATURES

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.

Engine immobilisers fitted under the Immobilise Now! Program do not include an alarm as a standard, but some models may be integrated with an alarm and other optional features.

Most insures will require an Australian Standards approved immobiliser for Comprehensive cover.

Not sure if it is an immobiliser or not but I did some testing of the factory remote. If it is "armed" (closed with remote button) and you open the door with the key itself, as soon as you put the key in the ignition, the horn sounds and the lights flash. Must admit didn't try starting it though.

There are some other things that trigger off the horn as well when I was playing around but can't think of them just now.

Perhaps just try locking doors with remote, opening door with the key and try starting the car (whilst ignoring the horn going off is yours does that). If it starts then no immobiliser but if it doesn't then perhaps it has one.

Would be interested to know the results.

Will try that tonight. Good thinking ninety nine!

No luck. Mine did no such thing and the engine wasn't immobilised. Sounds like you have either a factory fitted alarm or an aftermarket one.

You have me curious now - must go and check whether the car start whilst the horn is sounding, etc. Must be factory or using th factory key remote as that is the only one I have.
