To protect the car from illegal actions by intruders, an anti-theft device called an immobilizer is used. This device opens electrical circuits in such key systems as the starter, ignition, on-board computer, engine, fuel pump, thereby preventing illegal use of the car. With an immobilizer, every car owner can have complete peace of mind regarding the safety of their own car. And this allows you to experience stress less often and think more about important things.

Only the owner of the car can control the immobilizer, for which either manual code entry or an electronic code key is used, which directly depends on the car model. Before starting the engine, the car owner needs to unlock the immobilizer using the key.

If the immobilizer is hacked, all systems of the car will be blocked. These anti-theft devices are automatically activated after a certain time has passed, during which the car owner does not perform any actions. The presence of such a function allows you to ensure the safety of the car, even if the owner is away for a certain time. At the heart of the device is a control unit that emits signals about the need to activate the immobilizer. Autodok offers original accessories and spare parts for foreign cars , so you don’t have to worry about the quality.

Currently, many car enthusiasts use micro-immobilizers that are capable of blocking only one circuit of the system. The electrical wiring circuits are broken using an electromagnetic relay, and if at this time the immobilizer itself is blocked, it means that such actions are not carried out by the owner of the car.

The anti-theft system is capable of blocking one or all electrical circuits of the engine, however, to ensure safety, it is recommended to block at least two circuits. The electronic code key is programmed in such a way that one movement provides blocking of several circuits.

Thanks to the presence of a signal LED in immobilizers, it becomes clear to the thief that the car is under protection, and the owner of the car is informed about the status of the security system.
