I just bought something similar. Seems ok. Was having a play around with it earlier. Simple to wire in, and will count as another anti-theft
device.

OK...
I've read the SVA manual, and I'm still none the wiser...
What is meant by 2 forms of immobilisation..? The manual states'in addition to the ignition switch...' but what happens if you dispense
with the switch..?
Would a keyless immobiliser plus a normal switch for ignition, then a start button, pass the criteria..?
Cheers
Pete

You can have an fia key as one and an ignition switch as the other or a mechanical form of security like a steering lock.
On mine I have an fia switch with toad immobiliser plus a seperate start switch.
The fia switch is one and the immobiliser is the other on mine.
My steering wheel is also removeable but this did not matter.

Mine will be an ignition switch with the immobiliser as the second. I have removed the ignition barrel and switch from the column.

Well a steering lock is only dangerous if it fails and locks while you are driving. Losing steering is arguably the worst mechanical failure that can
happen, worse even than complete brake loss.
Guess it's a risk of failure vs. consequences of failure decision you have to make for yourself.
