But now you are going to try out the Immobilizer (if that's the "trade name") regardless. Am I understanding this correctly to mean that, by choosing to do this, you expect that you will prevent any relay attacks, but you grant that a well-schooled OBD-based thief *could* bypass the immobilizer?

What I should have written was that thieves will bypass factory immobilizer via obdii hack. They wont bypass the relay kill.
The key is to have multiple layers of security.
Disable obdii port, keep fake one with 12v or reverse polarity to hopefully blow anything plugged into it.
Kill switch - best way would be the wired method, tapping off the control circuit away from fuse box where no one can see the tap and confusing a thief
Move starter and keep fake one in stock place (this would be highly irritating for me on a daily basis)
Faraday bags on the fobs
Car alarm.
More and more, I feel the IGLA in place of a kill switch would be the most secure, along with the rest of items.
