It's not the immobilizer. Or at least it's not just the immobilizer. It is
the ignition system.

They initially thought it was the immobilizers & they have shown little
reason to then counter that as the alternative was more worrying to the
public & so why would they wish to publicize the fact that the radar
can kill electronic ignition.

However......my modplod mate was the bod who had to go & tow vehicles
to a safe distance (basically into a large dip in the road which would
shield the vehicle) & time after time....no immobilizer whatsoever.....

They have a list of the models/makes which it's affected which they keep up to date.

I have seen it but I'm not sure they'd appreciate me getting & then posting it.
