Autowatch AW780

Transponder-based immobiliser that behaves like factory systems — no driver effort required. Separate coded transponders mean no key battery to fail and no fragile receptacles.

Coded transponders Pin-code override On-board immobilisation Ignition anti-hot-wire

Key benefits

  • Hands-off operation, like factory-fit transponders.
  • Coded transponders with no batteries to maintain.
  • Pin-code override for emergency access.
  • On-board immobilisation with ignition anti-hot-wire.
  • Backward compatible with older 171 transponders.
  • Great for light plant, older or imported vehicles.

How it works

A coded transponder is recognised by the system when the driver approaches or turns the ignition. Once authenticated, the immobiliser disarms. If a valid transponder is not detected, the vehicle remains immobilised. A secure pin-code override provides a backup authorisation method.

Technical notes

  • Coded, battery-free transponders supplied separately to the vehicle key.
  • On-board immobilisation with anti-hot-wire strategy on the ignition circuit.
  • Designed for discreet, professional installation.
