A system and method are used for immobilizing a vehicle to prevent vehicle theft. The system includes an immobilizer that can be retrofitted to the selected vehicle or integrated into the vehicle during the manufacturing process. The immobilizer includes a communication module that enables the immobilizer to be remotely controlled using a wireless signal. The wireless signal can be transmitted using different secure protocols including, but not limited to, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth encrypted signals. In addition, the wireless signal can be relayed over different secure networks. Further, the immobilizer may include one or more connectors and the corresponding wiring harnesses that enable the hardwire connection of the immobilizer to the appropriate vehicle component. Additionally, different methods such as disabling one or more data lines or disabling one or more engine sensors of the corresponding vehicle may be employed for immobilizing the vehicle.
