Anyone out there forced to have an immobilizer (Gov't regulated anti theft device) installed (Hard wired) into there cars on top of the already existing VATS system?

Can the VATS system be bypassed by the unsuspecting thief?

10 years ago I had my car broken into twice in 2 nites (probably by the same guys) after the cops failed to show up for 36 hours to fingerprint it. I video taped the 2nd nite!!!!

Obviously they couldn't steal it because of the VATS system, but it looks like the government around here figures that my GTA is at a high risk for thefts by our jeuvenille delinquents and is forcing the installation of these "Immobilizer systems" or you can't register or insure your sports car.....!!!!

What do you guys think???? I'm affraid that messing with the already existing system will cause problems overtime.......

 

VATS is an immobilizer. If the key doesn't have the proper resistance then the car wont' start.

I'm not sure of the rules there, but it seems odd that they can force you to install an alarm/immobilizer. I would insist on finding your own installer, if they won't let you install it yourself. I had one on my daily driver, and it was disturbingly easy to remove. Probably 30 seconds and I had the entire alarm system disabled. I had to do that because the key fob died, and no one had a replacement.

BTW, I had a HSR an LPE211/219 cam on my last engine. really liked that combo, though I wish I had gone a little more radical, perhaps a hot-cam to match the intake. Here's what my car sounded like. you could probably expect something similar. http://media.putfile.com/tim-vs-bill. I'm in the far lane.

 

heck just get the battery with the remote kill. that will feed the clock and such but will not give enough juice to start it. Plus you will not have to wire stuff in.
