Today, we will see how to disable the car immobiliser. The immobiliser prevents the vehicle from starting the engine in case of theft; it works like a smart alarm.

Starting the vehicle is only possible with the use of the key, which contains a small chip that sends a special signal to the car's computer. In case of loss or failure to program the key, the vehicle will not be able to start, and the engine will just crank.

If the vehicle fails to start, the cause may be due to the malfunction of the microchip inside the remote or due to a quality issue. But how to bypass the vehicle immobiliser? There is a legal bypass used by dealers to start the vehicle in honest situations.

By providing the registration number, vehicle identification number, VIN, and a valid identity document, the bypass will be installed inside the vehicle. Open the front bonnet and mount the bypass above the starter motor, connecting the connector to the central connector.

Connect the vehicle to the diagnostic computer and the OBD port to make changes to the ECU. Connect the electrical wires and ensure the bypass is set up. Start the vehicle and continue to use it normally.
