Are immobilisers ment to work?

i sold my unlic VN the other day to a mate, it had an immobiliser professionaly installed a few years back, the little sensor on the imobaliser broke, we got frustrated.

neil "**** this, try removing the immobiliser all together"
me "i have zero ellectrical experience"
neil ".....so?"



so i ripped the cover of under the stearing wheel. i wont explain exactly what i did for obvious reasons. but after litteraly 1 min of fiddling around, the car was running.




was this a fluke u recon? it kinda ruins the piece of mind an immobilisor gives dnt u think? especialy considering i had very little idea on what i was doing lol.

a car thief could probly do this with his belclava covering his eyes!

- Overuse of the word literally. A minute is a minute regardless.

-Most decent systems have more than a single point of immobilisation, so it was probably a crap setup.
-A decent one would have an alarm so you've bought yourself a whole minute to scare the prick away before the car drives away. That's a minute more than you had without one.
-Certainly not a fluke, you pulled the right wires. The 'professionals' were clearly more interested in money and found someone dumb enough to ripp-off.

At least now you know how to pinch it back from your mate.

lol reply in English mate - Aussie car forum here.
I think his point is valid. Yours sounds like it was done badly. It is going to be different not only to all other models but probably most other VNs too.

yep any decent immobalizer will have black wires to confuse theifs and be secured at 3 different locations.

Immobalizers to me are designed to lower your insurance premium
