Immobiliser

[johnny boii]

hey guys i have a autowatch alarm system but my keys went threw the wash i have taken the handset apart and something was melted anyyyhooo wondering how the hell do i get my car moving and or who can fix it and roughly how expensive is it?

[Nic_A31]

Don't have a spare?

Most immobilisers can be turned off by turning the key in timing with the flashes.

You should have a card with your immobiliser..or a tag that came with it..with a 4/5 digit number.

Say the number is 1 2 3 4 5

turn the key

wait one flash

turn the key

wait two flashes

turn they key

wait three flashes

you get the idea.

You might be able to get another one made up from anywhere that does alarm installs....no idea on the cost...probably just as cheap as getting a new one installed?

cheers man i ddnt get a spare off the owner and that means i havent got anny card butttt when i open it up it has a number in it could that be it?

[Nic_A31]

Yeah mate, try that.

If you stuff it up, turn the key back to OFF and try again.

Remember when you turn they key (after x amount of flashes corresponding to the number), HOLD they key so the light stays on solid, once it's released, let it start flashing again until you need to hold it solid again.

Anyone know the legal regulations on keyless starts?

My mothers prado for example just needs the key in the car.

If my immobiliser/alarm could also start the motor without me needing a physical key is this breaking some sort of law/legal regulation?

Reason i ask is my key is so worn that i cant cut a copy off it, i can get another key cut out of the bootlock or something, but you know keyless entry would be cooler.

[johnny boii]

ok dude but what am i buying and how much is it gonna be?

Prado? I think you mean those smart keys...just put them in and go..the car knows when that key is nearby...don't need an immobiliser (button), even to unlock the doors and shit.

They're fine..dunno how, but yeah they're legal.

As for your own, remote starting is illegal.

Didn't work?

New immobiliser + install..couple of hundred at the most, and half a day (if that).

Sure somebody on here can explain to you how to get behind the dash and cut it, so you can drive it in the meantime.

[Ehgriez]

Yeah, thats the thing i always thought it was illegal, then bam comes factory standard in a prado.

Yeah if you look behind the dash find the immobiliser and see where they spliced it in reconnect wires and presto your away.

[dan_the_man]

the boomerang alpha 2000 had the remote start feature. I'm not sure if it is still available though.

[Ehgriez]

will google it. cheers.
