How easy is it?? - Immobiliser & Track car

[20vKarlos]

Hi guys...

As I'm not doing a lot at work tonight I thought I'd ask you all a question, so that tomorrow afternoon when I wake up I may have a few suggestions/ answers.


I have a Phase 2 172 (02 reg I believe)
I've never seen it running, and I've not a lot of idea why, apart from the fast Immobiliser flashes...

How easy is it to get around the immobiliser?

What's needed? As the car is getting all the interior taken out as it's for track use only.

What would an Omex or another type management system cost and would it be an easy installation?

What have you done to resolve immobiliser faults?


I'll leave this here for some potential answers, I know I've been vague about the issues with the car, but I'll save that for my project thread.

I'm off to do some research of my own :up:

You can get around it by changing the ecu, the uch and key plip to others from the same model.
I have an omex and loom available (loom will need finishing) for £500 (includes comms lead) but tbh you wont need it its just the immobilizer you want to get round.

Speak with @cs_dave as he had an UCH, ECU & keys which should solve your issue if its not something simple like an earth strap.

As above i have a full set uch ecu 2 key fobs if needed £65 posted

Try the key fob battery first.

Happened on my mates and it solved it.
