If the Daewoo Matiz won't start with the key, the immobiliser may be damaged. To start a car with this issue, you need to install a specific chip.

This must be installed in the ECU: the ECU is located under the steering column, in the left front pillar. To access it, loosen the four screws that secure it. Once removed, open it and insert the chip inside, connecting it as shown in the video.

Once finished, you can reassemble the ECU and connect it, confirming that the car can now be started.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
