In 1989 was the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Car theft in Europe doubled as there were not many BMW and alike vehicles in eastern Europe.

This was a good opportunity for enterprising people to steal cars to order and make a fortune.

Some of the larger insurance companies made the call to not insure vehicles without manufacturer fitted immobilisers.

This meant that only immobiliser fitted vehicles qualified for finance and sold in dealerships.

In 1995 Mercedes and BMW made a big change in their cars.

They added a factory fitted immobiliser system called EWS that used  Philips rolling code id33 chip.

This consisted of a transponder chip embedded in the plastic key head that gives the ECU (computer) a signal that would allow the car to start and run.

This reduced car theft of these vehicles dramaticaly.

By 1997 all European cars had a similar system.

1998 the Japanese car manufacturers followed.

POST 2000 90 percent of cars are manufactured with anti theft immobilisers
