Newest revision of product with improved firmware and updated user instructions
The IMM0001 device is designed for the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio 2016-2025 models all trim, engine, market and gerbox versions.
It significantly enhances car security with independent immobilizer and alarm features.
Giulia and Stelvio models are recently seeing more and more cases of theft. Thieves use several well-known methods to steal these cars: using a radar (key fob cloning), “relay theft” (communicating with a remote original key fob via a so-called radio bridge / a signal repeater – for example when you're waiting in line at a store), by stealing your keys or taking your car by force using a tow truck.
All of these methods are fast: for some of them, it takes less than one minute to steal a car.
Existing security systems usually do not counteract all of those theft methods, or require specialized installation that includes cutting and tapping into the car wiring harness, and are therefore not only more expensive, but also void the vehicle warranty.
The immobilizer poses a major obstacle for a potential thief. Even if a thief is familiar with it, having to remove it will require a significant amount of time.
The device provides effective protection against all the theft methods mentioned above, keeping the car immobilized and tilt&shake alarms active. Also, it is simple enough to install, taking only about 20-40 minutes with no cable cutting or soldering needed, as it taps into the car's electrical harness using compatible connectors.
Main features of the device
• Immobilizer: the START button will not work until the user's PIN code is entered (this can be done using the radio controls on the right button panel of the steering wheel)
• Automatic arming 20 seconds after the ignition is turned off
• Alarms: tilt alarm (slower but very restrictive) and shock alarm (immediate but less sensitive) that automatically arm 30 seconds after the immobilizer arms. They react to the car being lifted or towed, wheel theft attempts or a parked car fender bender as well as tamper attempts with the harness/panel to remove the immobilizer. Car's horn is used for alarms.
• Car's digital bus unexpected communication with steering wheel alarm, configurable for cars with and without Remote Start feature (we do not block Remote Start, but we do alarm if not allowed via setting)
• Attempts of putting wrong PIN triggers horn
• Garage mode (for servicing car in workshop) – to deactivate the immobilizer and alarms in order to leave the car in a garage/workshop and do not hassle technicians there with PINs and false alarms when car gets lifted etc.
• Programmable user PIN (sequence of 3 to 10 button presses)
• Independent activation and deactivation of tilt and shock alarms
• Setting changes are PIN-protected and stored in non-volatile memory so they are not lost when the car battery is disconnected
• Quick and easy one-time deactivation of tilt and shock alarms (useful during wheel change and transport by a ferry or a tow track)
• Green/red LED to indicate device statuses
• USB-C connector for uploading newer firmware or diagnostics
• Low power consumption: during car operation typ. 20 mA and automatic reduced power consumption mode in armed state typ. 7.5 mA
Included are:
• Immobilizer
• Installation and User Manual, plus a Mini Guide
• Textile tape to secure the harness and the device
• USB-A to USB-C 1m cable to ease in casr firmware update if such ever required
Tools required for installation
• Torx TX20 screwdriver
• A plastic upholstery lever or similar thin plastic tool

Delivery information
In order to help making deliveries easier and faster, we decided to offer by deault airways courier Fedex International Priority services. However, for orders containing goods with bigger dimensions, we reserve right to choose instead Fedex Connect Plus or Fedex International Economy services. This applies to lighweight but biger in size boxes where especially extra cushion is required for protection - like Flappy Paddles or Radio Headunits. Fedex International Priority service should be 1-3 working days for deliveries within EU, and 2-6 days in other destinations, other services may add a few extra days on top..
Please provide accurate and full shipping address (including accurate post code), fail to do this may raise difficulties in delivery, as well as generate addtional shipping charges you may need to cover (e.g. redirection of shippment).
Asian
customers, please provide address using latin characters - we can't
order courier otherwise and will need to cancel order if proper format
address is not provided.
Please order to location where delivery is possible, fail of 2 delivery attempts puts parcel on storage for a few days in courier depot (still chance of arranging collection by contacting Fedex Customer Support by receiver - we can't help here unfortunatelly), but later the parcel is automatically returned. Return related to fail of delivery will generate additonal shipping charges for us (return and reshipping + customs documentaton), which will need to be covered to us before another shippment attempt.
Please do not redirect parcells to different adderss as this will add addtional fees we will ask you to cover later (order of 10 EUR usually).
In case of parcel damage
At
delivery please inspect if parcel condition looks good, in case of any
doubt, please fill in complain form with courier, if possible you may
inspect goods inside. Parcels are insured, however only signed complaint
of receiver passed to Fedex is the way for us to receive cost
compensation, so allow us to send you replacment units. In such case
(unlikely) please pass us information on complain number, once we get
things confirmed/discussed with Fedex, we can proceed with shipping
replacements.
No VAT invoice for EU VAT companies (VAT to be paid in country of destination as intra community delivery of goods)
If you are an active EU VAT payer company, please provide us with your EU VAT number during checkout (comment field). In such case you can pay either by Paypal/iMoje paywalls full amount (we do not automatically strip VAT at checkout for this case), and we will charge you without VAT price after we successfully verify your company as active EU VAT payer, or you can pay via bank transfer total divided by 1.23 to strip 23% Polish VAT from the price.

Hardware and firmware release history
Note, not all cosmetic improvements are listed below, only mentioned are ones which can be noticed by user as change.
In case you own older version, we highly recomend to contact us for obtaining self-update instructions, and update to the latest firmware, especially users of A01 to A04 and B01 to B03 revisions.
5.5.2025
r201 (factory release for B05, B01-B03 critical update, B04 optional update) and r202 (A01-A04 critical update):
Fix for BCM DTC error code B1173 occurrence - such no longer happens
Improvements/bulletproofing of LIN bus interface
Debug parameters write to EEPROM only at going to sleep
Improvements/bulletproofing USB terminal
Improvements for case of OBD diagnostics in action
Additional debug information available for factory
10.4.2025
r175 (factory release for B04, B01-B03 critical update) and r176 (A01-A04 critical update):
Critical fix for firmware bug which in very rare cases could lead to immobilizer self-arming during driving, and so in consequence alarms kick in.
Critical fix on going to sleep/low power mode now prevented by more event s(was incomplete)
Improvements in synchronization with bus protocol so it is immediate (was on next transmission)
Added non-volatile error counters exposed for USB debug and new logs
12.3.2025
r149 (factory release for B03; B01-B02 update) and r150(A01-A04 update):
Long button press better support - earlier revisions of firmware were very strict for quality of press, and could not recognize sometimes long press and so cause difficulties in accessing immobilizer settings menu
New debug logs added to terminal
Arming time I lowered to 20s (was 30s) - I think it is more than enough but safer
Garage mode disable disarms immobilizer instead of arming it - that will be for improving user experience - in previous way, if user started from ignition on, then would end and up with ignition on but locked START, and so would need to disarm first to disable ignition (no reason - to disable garage mode you need PIN anyway, so must be genuine owner so why hassle with another PIN disarm). Also in such a case previously, if the bus presence alarm was set to immediate, then before the user would disarm with PIN, one could get scared with alarms tripping (ignition on so bus present) - now it won't happen.
Minor improvements to disable horning/alarm sequences on unlock or garage mode
5.12.2024
r139(factory release for B02; B01 update) r140(A01-A04 update):
Fix for 10 button PIN support - previously attempt to program 10 button long PIN would lock device and would require defaulting (possible factory assist)
Updated terminal NAME command to differ A0x from B0x firmwares
21.11.2024
r136(factory release for B01) r135(A01-A04 update):
Case of short START - wrong PIN -(before 15s timeout passed) long START - good PIN - START was entering settings menu - I prefer treat it as standard daily unlock what is typical use; earlier immobilizer was going into menu
13.11.2024
r134(factory release for A03&A04; A01-A02 update; note A04 vs. A03 products do not have redundant connector and such is kept going forward in newer hardware revision)
Two new terminal functions added BOOTLOADER PINxxx..x and NVM DEFAULT PINxxx..x to allow easier upgrades and default in case of on-field customer updates without need of MASTERCODE/USERCODE.
Fix for issue of A02 revision firmware, where dimmed backlight of steering wheel button could get to maximum brightness from time to time - improvements of algorithm of synchronization between immobilizer and steering wheel left buttons digital bus
27.09.2024
r122 (factory A02 release; A01 update)
Redesign in synchronization algorithm with steering wheel button digital buses
Added more calculations on acceleration and angles of vectors - improvement for detection of tilt and shake alarms
Generated horn duration changed to 0.5s (was 0.4s)
10.05.2024
r101 (A01 - official first product release)
First ever released firmware to customers
