IVA Immobiliser/Alarm
FrankP - 9/3/10 at 05:32 PM

Hi - Just reading the IVA doc part 13A it needs either a mechanical or electronic immobiliser -

What are people doing for this - any good suggestions?

The alarm noted in part 13b is optional I assume?

Thanks

if this is the same as SVA, then Sierra Steering lock and ignition key seemed to be adequate for me.

^ as above,

or transponder based immobiliser (or any other kind, but transponder would be my choice) and key would do if you've not got the steering lock

If you use the alarm as the form of security I think you will need it fitted and certificated by an installer.

I think the sierra ignition still looks like being ok.

Well thats how I read it. Ive also fitted an Immobilizer but havnt got the certificate so wont use it for iva.

I beleive the IVA manual was ammended to state that for amateur built cars it doesnt need a certificate.

The steering lock and ignition key was enough for IVA on my car.
