Engine Immobilisers

Research indicates that an electronic engine immobiliser is the best form of vehicle security available to deter opportunistic thieves. The majority of vehicles stolen are over 10 years old and are used for joyriding, transport, or to commit another crime. Unskilled youths target these vehicles because they generally lack effective security devices and are therefore easy theft targets

An engine immobiliser is an electronic device that interrupts the power supply to two or more systems required to start a vehicle's engine, that is the fuel pump, starter motor or ignition (see diagram). Unless the correct electronic signal is provided to the system by the ignition key, or a unique transponder or coded plug, the vehicle will not start. The system is de-activated by a constantly changing signal that is virtually impossible to 'crack'.

RACT immobilisers comply with the Australian/New Zealand Standard for Vehicle Immobilisers (AS/NZS 4601:1999, amended in 2003). This ensures that the immobiliser cannot be easily overcome by thieves and will not affect the safe operation of your vehicle. The standard also ensures that the immobiliser is automatically activated when you turn off the ignition. All you have to do is take your keys and lock your doors.

RACT sells a range of immobilisers from a basic "touch key" unit to a full remote unit that can be integrated with your existing central locking system.

Roof Racks/Travel Pods

Planning a trip in the car but wondering how you are going to fit it all in? RACT Technical Services can assist.
