For auto electricians & installers

Join a small but growing network.

StarterStopper has authorized installers in Cairns and Wodonga. We're looking for more across Australia: auto electricians, mobile installers and workshops who want to offer a hidden immobilizer with no app, GPS and no subscription.

The product

See StarterStopper One in 30 seconds

StarterStopper One is our flagship electronic immobiliser, designed for professional installation into a wide range of vehicles. Unlike a reseller importing somebody else's security product, we develop both the hardware and firmware behind the system — so installers deal directly with the people who understand and build it.

Under the hood

The facts your customers
will ask you about.

No marketing adjectives. Every card is something you can measure with a multimeter, check in the manual or test on the bench before you recommend it.

17 µA
Standby current
A typical CAN-bus immobiliser sits around 4 mA, several hundred times more. Weeks in the airport car park change nothing.
Fail-safe by design
Cannot cut fuel mid-drive
Two relays hold the fuel circuit closed once the engine runs. A supply dip, a reset or a firmware fault cannot open it. Verified on our hardware bench with 59 automated tests per release.
12 V / 24 V
Cars, utes, trucks
One unit for the whole fleet, including 24 V commercial vehicles.
We own it
Hardware and firmware in-house
Your logo on the unit, a changed timer, a fleet-specific feature: we can actually do it, because nobody upstream has to agree.
One part number
Any vehicle with an electric fuel pump
No model-specific CAN integration. A 1998 HiLux, a 2024 Ranger and a Hino truck take the same unit. No per-model stock, no "not supported yet".
Immobiliser + alarm
In one unit
Ignition without the code starts a countdown, then drives the siren output. CAN-based systems immobilise silently and give a thief all the time in the world.
Battery pull
Resets nothing
Lock state and a triggered alarm are stored in the unit. Disconnecting the battery, the classic thief's reset, brings it back exactly where it was.
No code, no start
No app, no fob, no OBD bypass
The only way in is the hidden button. Recovery is a printed master code the owner holds, not a call centre.
Potted
Epoxy-sealed, 60 × 35 × 20 mm, 100 g
Tucks behind the dash, no enclosure to fail. Brown-out detection, hardware watchdog and duplicate config memory on an ATmega4808.

Figures for StarterStopper One at 12 V. Key and push-to-start, petrol and diesel, stop-start systems supported. Not for EVs or vehicles with factory remote start. Every firmware release runs 59 automated hardware-in-the-loop tests on a real unit before it ships.

Why installers

Built around
professional installation.

StarterStopper began by selling directly to vehicle owners. But vehicle security isn't an ideal DIY product. Customers often want the confidence of having an experienced automotive professional install the system correctly — and many would rather buy a complete supplied-and-installed solution than work out the installation themselves.

That's why we're building a network of professional installation partners across Australia. We're looking for businesses that already understand automotive electrical systems and want to offer StarterStopper as an additional high-value product to customers and vehicles already passing through their workshop.

How it works

Four steps. No lock-in.

1. Join

Become an approved StarterStopper installation partner. No franchise agreement, minimum order or inventory commitment.

2. Evaluate

Qualified partners can evaluate StarterStopper One themselves before deciding whether to offer it to customers — with installation information and direct technical support from StarterStopper.

3. Sell & install

Offer StarterStopper One to suitable customers at the recommended supplied-and-installed price of $899 AUD. Of that, $480 stays with your workshop: the installation labour plus your margin on the unit.

4. Grow

Continue ordering StarterStopper One as required. As our installer network develops, customers looking for professional installation can also be directed towards participating local installers.

Why StarterStopper

Direct access to the people who build it.

Hardware + firmware developed in-house

We develop the electronics and embedded firmware behind StarterStopper ourselves. You're not dealing with a retailer who has to contact a distributor who then has to contact the manufacturer.

Direct technical support

Built for automotive installation

StarterStopper One is designed as an aftermarket automotive security product and is intended to be professionally integrated into the vehicle.

We can actually change the product

Because we control the hardware and firmware, unusual installation requirements don't automatically end with "the product doesn't support that". Where there is a genuine technical and commercial requirement, we can investigate vehicle-specific integration or functionality.

Who we're looking for

Is StarterStopper a fit
for your business?

Ideal partners are comfortable working with vehicle electrical systems and already install aftermarket automotive products:

  • Auto electricians
  • Vehicle security specialists
  • Car alarm and immobiliser installers
  • Automotive electronics specialists
  • 4WD and ute accessory installers
  • Car audio installers with automotive electrical capability
  • Performance workshops with electrical installation capability

No previous StarterStopper experience is required.

Low-risk evaluation

Don't take our word for it.
Install one.

We don't expect a professional installer to recommend a security product simply because they've seen a website or spoken to us on the phone.

Qualified installation partners can evaluate StarterStopper One themselves. Install it. See how the system works. See how long the installation actually takes. Talk directly to us if you have technical questions.

Then decide whether it's something you'd be comfortable recommending to your customers.

Installer FAQ

Answers,
workshop to workshop.

If your question isn't covered here, call or email us — you'll be talking to the people who build the product.

Do I need to keep StarterStopper products in stock?

No. There is no inventory commitment. You can order StarterStopper One as required.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No.

How much does an installer make?

The recommended supplied-and-installed price for StarterStopper One is $899 AUD. On a typical installation sold at that price, $480 stays with the workshop. Partner units are supplied at $419 each, postage included, with no minimum order.

How long does installation take?

For an experienced automotive electrical installer, a typical StarterStopper One installation should take no more than approximately two hours. Actual installation time may vary depending on vehicle and installation requirements.

Do you provide installation documentation?

Yes. Installation partners receive the information required to install StarterStopper One and can contact StarterStopper directly for technical support.

What if I haven't installed StarterStopper before?

That's expected. Qualified partners can evaluate the product before deciding whether they want to offer it commercially.

Do I have to exclusively sell StarterStopper?

No. We're happy to work with professional installers who already install other vehicle security products.

Can StarterStopper support unusual vehicles or requirements?

Because we develop both the hardware and firmware ourselves, we can investigate unusual vehicle or integration requirements. This does not mean every customisation is possible or included free of charge.

Will StarterStopper send customers to my workshop?

As the installer network develops, we intend to direct customers seeking professional installation towards suitable participating installers.

What happens with warranty or technical issues?

Technical product issues are handled directly with StarterStopper. Detailed warranty and installer terms are provided during onboarding.
