Immobiliser

The Immobiliser is an inbuilt anti-theft device which stops you from getting your car started without the use of a key.

When these codes are in sync, the ECU activates the fuel system and ignition circuit. If the codes do not match the car won't start when the fuel pump or ignition is not working.

While the Immobiliser will stop thieves from hot-wiring your vehicle, it's not foolproof and is easily defeated by determined criminals. This is why it's crucial to take other precautions in mind, such as keeping valuables away from view and avoiding leaving them in the vehicle when you're not in it.

A faraday bag is a further security measure. It blocks the signal between the car's electronic system and the key fob, making it difficult for thieves and criminals to copy and steal that signal. Suzuki's newest models feature another measure of security that requires the key to be placed close to the ignition whenever it is turned on.

Modern immobilisers remain vulnerable to attacks by criminals with advanced skills despite these precautions. In one study that was conducted by researcher Jaap Bokslag attempted to rob three cars of a popular brand and crack the immobiliser within a matter of minutes using known flaws in the system.
