My insurance carrier is requiring my car has a "passive" engine immobilizer (in other words, no button needs to be pressed for the immobilizer to work). So, using that definition, is this a passive immobilizer? null

I’m sorry you’re having this issue but don’t buy any car alarms from Best Buy. They say free installation but they do not have a car alarm installer. We bought this alarm with free installation after purchase and we’ve been put off for a month to only find out after three reschedules that they cannot install it.

Yes I believe it does. If the alarm comes on and sounds , the ignition is killed and car will not be able to turn on until the alarm is deactivated by pressing the remote  switch.
