What is a car immobilizer?

Answer by  drewgoldfinger (86)

Car immobilizers are new types of car theft devices that are designed to stop burglars from stealing the cars. The immobilizer immobilizes the car's engine, transmission, fuel supply, or some other critical moving part. This keeps a feature from being able to move or start the car. Car immobilizers range in sophistication and can cost around $500.00

A car immobilizer is an anti theft device that stops the car while after it's been stolen by a signal that's sent to it. Some cars have it built in and others can get it after market. You can get one installed by auto mechanics, often times the same ones that will do stereo installs.
