Title: Immobiliser code.
Post by: Shackeng on 13 February 2010, 15:29:39

Having spent an hour looking for my code card after changing the battery, and finding it I'm pleased to say, I wonder how the Immobiliser code is used. I don't need it, I hope, but it might be useful to know.

TIA :y

You need the immobiliser code to  programme  it or the car will not start. The key code is needed to programme the alarm.

The codes are used when the keyfob has to be re-programmed and the internal (tiny) key chip for the immobilser. A decent Tech2 machine is needed, and the knowhow to use it.
The metal blade of the key can be cut by any decent locksmith and the fob, provided it is the same type, can be re-programmed. The immobilser however  is a chip in the keys horsehoe section dedicated to the immobilser module and it cannot be disabled or bypassed.
Hope that helps
