The entry point of the AVS S-Series range, the AVS S3 immobiliser system features three immobilisers for maximum security plus, it can be upgraded later to a full alarm.

Immobiliser features:

Three automatic immobilisers

For maximum security fuel pump, ignition system and starter motor immobiliser cuts (where possible) are made so the car cannot be started unless it is disarmed via the remote. The system will immobilise 40 seconds after the ignition is turned off or when the alarm is armed. To learn more about the different types of immobilisation in car security systems have a look at the Immobiliser entry on our Jargon page.

Turbo timer functions*

The AVS S3 is designed specifically to work with turbo vehicles. It has two turbo timer options to choose from.

On-board turbo timer – no need to fit an external unit - using the on-board turbo timer is the most secure way to have a turbo timer. The alarm is armed as usual but the car will continue to run for the preset run time of 1, 2 or 4 minutes. If the alarm is triggered during this time the car will shut down and the alarm will sound. It can also be turned off prior to the preset run time via the AVS remote.

Turbo timer interface - link the alarm up with your existing external turbo timer so your car will continue to run on the external turbo timer after the alarm is armed as usual. If the alarm is triggered during this time the car will shut down and the alarm will sound.

Control the system with your vehicle’s factory key*+

The great thing with AVS is you can install this AVS car alarm and then operate it from your factory remote. This means when you lock/unlock the car with the factory remote it will arm/disarm the AVS alarm. Boot release will also work from the factory remote (and if the alarm is armed it will disarm). This feature will work with most factory remotes. To learn more about this feature have a look at the Factory Upgrade or MAP car alarms entry on our jargon page.

Ant-hijack*

The anti-hijack feature (if installed) will immobilise the engine if a covert button is not pushed within a set time frame following the car being started. It is designed as another line of defence if your remote and keys are stolen.

Courier function*

Courier function allows the engine to continue running indefinitely while the system is armed. If the alarm is triggered during this time the car will shut down and the alarm will sound.

Two rolling code waterproof remotes

(If you are not using your car’s factory key to operate the system)

Hyper blue LED warning light

Compatible with all AVS accessories and sensors

Three year warranty

Easy to upgrade to the AVS S4 or AVS S5 alarm system

Also available in a 24-volt version

Control other devices with your AVS remote*

With the addition of the AVS RXPRO receiver your AVS immobiliser system may be able to open/close your garage door or arm/disarm your house alarm. The module can control many other common remote control devices. Talk with us or your AVS installer for more information. Learn more about controlling other devices with the RXPRO receiver from our accessories page.
