Thatcham immobiliser with two transponder key fobs allows engine to start without the use of touchkeys or alterations to the dashboard and the Toad Powerkey can be upgraded anytime to a Thatcham category 1 alarm and immobiliser by fitting Toad C4T Thatcham alarm.

Thatcham category 2 status

There are two popular types of Thatcham category 2 immobilisers available;

• Touchkey immobiliser requires an electronically coded key fob to be inserted into a receptable on the dash before starting the engine.
• Transponder immobiliser uses a key fob that transmits a wireless coded signal to the engine that allows it to start.

A Touchkey immobiliser is cheaper but requires a modification to be made on the dashboard and requires the driver to insert the touchkey key fob every time they start the engine. The Transponder immobiliser is very easy to use and you do not even notice that it has been fitted because you start the engine as before without the need to insert a touchkey.
