How do I disable Immobiliser?
Step 3: Use Your Car Door Key Hold the key in place for around 30 seconds to let the immobilizer unit know that you have the right key. You can try turning the key on both sides, lock, and unlock. The action will aid you in bypassing the system and deactivate the immobilizer if it recognizes the key.
Can an immobiliser be bypassed?
You can bypass the immobilizer by placing the key in keyhole hence deactivating the car’s immobilizer to remote start. The added security with Mobokey allows the security to be activated as soon as the phone moves away from the car, so you don’t have to worry about car security.
Do you have a transponder immobiliser in your car?
All European cars made after 1998 come with a transponder immobiliser as standard, but most of the cars here are Japanese imports. Even some of the 2011 models still don’t have them! I highly recommend checking the compliance PDF on the Thatcham website to see what is listed for your make and model of car. Do you have a plain metal key?

When buying or programming a new key, you must use a key that corresponds to the same immobilizer generation and keyless entry type and sync it to the immobilizer. If you need a new key, read the summary below and refer to the detailed instructions at 1000q: mk4 key programmingor 1000q: mk5 key/remote FAQ .
When does the Immobilizer go out on a VW?
If your VW is 1999 or earlier and sold in North America, it shouldn’t have an immobilizer. If your car has the yellow car/key symbol on the instrument cluster (shown activated below) it has an immobilizer. This light comes on for a second but quickly goes out when turning the car on and all is normal.
Where is the transponder located on a car?
A small transponder chip is usually located inside the plastic handle of the car key. When it is in the proximity of the ignition barrel (usually about 5 – 10 cm) it allows the vehicle to start. The transponder chip has a unique code frequency that is recognised by the cars immobiliser system.
