Advice - Immobilizer

[Parvin]

Looking to get some advice on an Immobilizer.

Car is equipped with one but i was wondering if it would be advisable to take it off as I am going to put in a new alarm soon. Maybe one of those 2 way pager systems.

Reason I'm asking about removing the immobilizer was because I thought about if the key (immobilizer key that is) got lost or broke, I don't have a replacement so i don't want to end up in that situation.

Any advice ?

I'd get the Mul-t-lock....it works and is a good visual deterrent...thieves normally not prepared for it

if the vehicle has an automatic transmission,it easy to disconnect the cable and put the vehicle in drive from the front.....no need to use the shifter for that!

^how long does that take....and how easy is it?

Let me enlighten u bro....when u go to buy an engine for a conversion,u buy the first engine u see in a shop or look around first before u purchase?

When 'shopin' for cars,u literally take one apart and know every pro and con of said vehicle.if u have to mark it for years until u get the right opportunity so be it!

to answer ur question,it does not take long and it is not hard.as long as the hand brake is functioning properly it's a one man job.for fwd vehicles,plastics,if any comes out easy,one bolt holds the shifter cable in place...i don't have to read and spell for u!

NO,I'M NOT A CAR THIEF NOR DO I BE IN ILLEGAL PRACTICES......U HAVE TO WORK SMARTER AND NOT HARDER!!!!

I built my car from an empty shell and could take it apart and put it back together in no time,so i know all pros and cons about it.get one and put ur multi lock,i'll guarantee u by the time u take to park and go to buy a soft drink in ur favorite parlor............it's gone!!!!!!!!!

i have seen problems where the immobilizer malfunctions an the car initially car start at all...its up to u tho...either way all of these things can be bypassed.... thieves usually look for easy pickings so...the more deterrents the better.

i am not doubting that it can be done....believe me, i know there is a workaround for almost everything

the point is statistically, how many car thieves wud bring such knowledge?
i've recommended Mul-T-locks to a lot of ppl b4, and they still have their cars (even b14s parking in trincity)

it is a visual deterrent, and the positions that u have to get ur body into to do what u are talkin abt might attract attention

i'm not sayin the mul-t-lock is the be it and end it all....
its just a good start for protecting the avg car

vice grip is joke....man walking with they own steering wheel to!

removing the club lock is easy to eh....as long as u know what ur doing.you can even remove the complete steering with the club lock on as well!

as said above bro....deterrent always better, than nothing!

I better start doing that then, I have no visual deterrants except for a blue flashing led. chances are that they will bust my glass & try to steal the car but end up leaving it & moving to an easier target.

but the imobiliser aint no kinda deterrant or security device, there is a thread in the ICE forum where riadb was asking bout removing one, the guy that did it for him took less than 5 minutes to remove it.
