A Category 2 Immobiliser, often abbreviated as Cat 2 Immobiliser, is a vital component of vehicle security systems. It functions by immobilising the engine, thereby thwarting any attempts of unauthorised use or theft.
Category 2 Immobilisers function by disrupting essential circuits within the vehicle, such as starter circuits. This disruption renders it impossible for thieves to start the engine without the corresponding identification, such as a touch key or another option.
Installing a Category 2 Immobiliser significantly reduces the risk of vehicle theft. Many insurance companies offer discounts for vehicles equipped with immobilisers, recognising their effectiveness as deterrents against theft.
While most vehicles are compatible with Category 2 Immobilisers, it's prudent to consult with a Vehicle Tracking Technology (VTT) expert to ensure compatibility. Different vehicles may necessitate specific immobiliser models due to compatibility concerns.
Category 2 Immobilisers typically require minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks by a qualified technician are advisable to ensure optimal functionality. Additionally, maintaining the vehicle's electrical system enhances the immobiliser's effectiveness.
Certainly, a variety of Category 2 Immobilisers are available, ranging from conventional key-based systems to advanced authentication methods like touch keys, transponders, and ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition). The selection depends on factors such as vehicle type, budget, and security preferences.
A professional will install your immobiliser. Professional installation ensures proper placement and wiring, maximizing the effectiveness of the immobiliser.
Generally, installing a Category 2 Immobiliser does not invalidate the vehicle warranty. However, it's advisable to verify compatibility and warranty implications with the vehicle manufacturer or dealer before installation.
Many modern vehicles come equipped with factory-installed immobilisers. If uncertain, consult the vehicle's documentation or contact the manufacturer. For vehicles lacking immobilisers, investing in an aftermarket Category 2 Immobiliser enhances security.
