Keyless immobiliser question
Hi all,
have just finished wiring up my keyless immobiliser.... just get in the car with a transponder with you, press a button hidden under the dash for the
ignition, then another hidden button for the starter, and off you go...
Qustion is, will that pass the SVA rules - read all the stuff in the archives, but I really can't tell. Have taken the steering lock off and
there are no keyed locks...
If it won't pass, what else can I fit to make it work?
Thanks
Chris

You'll still need another form of security I think because the steering lock is missing....you could fit a battery isolator switch
somewhere....that should do the trick....Oli.

There was a report in newspaper the other day about AA or RAC man etc who went to a womans house to start her car. tried a few things then noticed a
hole in the key where the chip used to be. It was then that she said something dropped out and the dog grabbed it before she could get it back. The
recovery guy then sat the dog on passenger seat and the car started up!!!!!!!

Yup, that was here in Addlestone apparently. Really doesn't suprise me, there are some real wrong'uns around here, they'd all be sat
outside on the porch strumming a banjo if they didn't have Sky TV.
Lovely area though

After that hijack i guess i should contribute to the primary question.
i junked the sierra steering lock. Fitted ign switch on dash with seperate savage start button and a toad immobiliser. Passed no probs.
Doesnt the book say something about 2 forms that cannot be operated by the driver when car is running?? Cant remember exact wording now. I know some
have fitted a cut off switch under the bonnet.
To be honest i would have thought the transponder style immobiliser would be OK on its own. Is it home made or bought? If bought you can take the spec
with you to prove it cant arm (read cut ignition) with engine running etc. If you had a key switch as well then this would be a secondary anti theft
device, im just wondering if your hidden switch will count as well.
