Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Alarm sounding.

« on: 13 December 2007, 18:06:27 »

bonnet sensor?

This happened to my 2000 facelift, instead of disconnecting the battery every night what I did was open the rear door drivers side and lock the driver door, this locked the car but didn't arm the alarm.
As will said it is probably one of the sensors.
hope this helps
The only problem with not arming the alarm though is insurance,so only use this as a short term thing 'til you can sort it.

The immobiliser ECU is inside the steering wheel cowl and around the ignition switch....it cant be bypassed or removed without TechII and the car security pass.

For those that dont know.
the box that is hidden behind the cowling is actually an antenna.
this powers up the small chip located in the key.
transmitter - responder.
made from  these two words  = transponder

the antenna powers up the chip in the key and the chip sends
its code back to the antenna.
this sends the code to the immobiliser or ecu
and if its genuine allows the car to start.

you can actually get around this by......... the ..........
.
have to stop there but i will tell you if you want to know.
please email me.
i have done it several times and it works everytime.
you cant do this on several high end vehicles.
they have a system that prevents this.
 thats called
a software lock in the trade.
the listing of cars that can be bypassed is available free on the web.

one of my hobbies is a locksmith
and most locks can be opened in seconds with a blank key
so this immobiliser bypass is  hardly a big problem compared to lock security .

I've IM you with my e-mail address
hope to hear from you soon

I  got a non starter
key opens door and disarms alarm
ignition works and dash lights up as it should, but the ECU light is flashing constantly and evenly.
I presume its the immobilizer(<- is that spelled correctly?)
what I need is the location of the unit and can it be bypassed or removed.

sorry if its a repeat thread but can only find info concerning older models  :-/

post a link to another thread if this is easier  

any help appreciated.

Try your spare key, in case the transponder has fallen out or has failed and see what happens.

I would do only, I only got the one key as another would double the value of the car.lol

I read in another forum that the rolling code sequence is lost if the battery in the key is removed or car battery is removed for a long period , this might be a stupid question but as my battery in the car was totally dead if i remove the key battery what are the chances of it resetting the sequence to the start.
