Thacham Categories
Hi,
I'm in the UK and have changed my car insurance company and the new
insurer is insisting I have a Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser on my
car.
I have a 2003 A4 - can anyone advise what Thatcham category the
standard immobiliser is on the A4? I think it is at least a category
2 but need to be sure.
Thanks,
Steve

I suggest checking with your local dealer, but think that it'll
probably be a category 1. You might find it helpful to check the
Thatcham web site
(http://www.thatcham.org/security/index.jsp?page=75), which includes
categorised lists of security devices in pdf. The category 1 list
appears to support my thinking.

It doesn't matter, but that sounds odd to me: it means no alarm, just
an immobiliser.
http://www.thatcham.org/security/pdf...gerCarCAT1.pdf
says A4, all models, from March 01on have a Category 1 system. Do you
really only have an Audi Immobiliser (category 2) rather than Audi
Security System I (category 1)? (Category 1 is better than category 2,
so you meet your insurer's requirements either way.)
As a matter of curiosity, which insurer is it? I'm a bit surprised
that they didn't require category 1. Last time I used an insurer that
needed me to check the category, they required me to have a category 1
system. (I did - that was on a '98 BMW 3 Series.) When I bought my A4
and switched to my present insurer, they didn't ask, presumably
because they already knew what I had as standard and were satisfied
with it.
