How do I reset imoblzer I swap ecu

[@Geohatz]

After 16 years of searching and spending many hours to find the solution I finally succeeded by buying the emulator by pass you told us in the description.. I wish you the best! many thanks from beautiful Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@juliusxenyo1924]

You are a life saver, thanks to you I got my Audi A4 1995 make back on the road. The immo emulator and your connection worked like magic. The interesting part is that I was able to do it myself. Thanks man! I'm grateful.

[@richardIIX]

Hi great video ;-) I could not start even when I disconnected and reconnected the minus to the battery. I ordered an immo emulator, according to your link ... maybe it will come soon and I will be able to ride again ;-) I have an Audi A4 B5 rv. 1995 92kw ;-) Thanks :-)

[@THEDIYBARN]

Happy to help! :) It took me ages to solve this immobilizer problem.. There was no good video or article to follow, so when I finally found a way I realized I have to share it with others :)

[@rkghmusic4092]

Awesome presentation. I very much enjoyed the video. I have learnt a lot. Thank you

[@remigiuszszczesniak6177]

Thanks a lot, it's working with my b5 96r 1.8. You are the best 😍

[@christianbungur7408]

What happones if you plug in vcds diagnostics later on and it enters imobilizer unit? I hve this failt 6 y now since having the car and i always turn the key 2x before starting, works 99,9% of the time the other cases i have to turn it 3x.

[@zainalabukassim8178]

Interesting! I’ve the same problem.. To solve the intermittent issue I now insert the key.. wait 5 sec then turn the key and hold firmly and when the security key clears turn the engine on.. works 100% thus far.. ;)

[@AidanEsa-y6x]

My cars starts and cuts off jus like your car did But my immobiliser light goes off str8 away and don’t flash 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@noquisiste18]

I did exactly the same, put contact and my horn doesn’t stop, any idea?

[@jockesgarage6049]

the black wire got grounded ?

[@Nitrlul]

Hi. I have car with first gen immobilizer which doesn't even show light for immobilizer. Will disconnecting battery for 10 seconds help in this case?

[@MrMoss786]

Thank you, excellent video. 👏

[@zulizzibahar8275]

Hi can this emulator compatible with Volkswagen bora model 2002?

[@frozenwitcher]

Does the OBD connection still works?

[@samuelwahyudi4390]

Hi thanks for sharing, let you share the immo box location if the audi has a right steering wheel? , thx :)

[@THEDIYBARN]

Hi, not sure about right hand drive version. But if you follow the wires from the induction ring around the ignition barrel, they will lead you to the immo box.

[@DannyZulu-z7d]

Hi, I want to buy the immobilizer emulate. Guid me

[@greenedyfrio338]

Hi I have a A4 B5 from 1995 and didnt work.:( I check and recheck everything, i fallow your video step by step. But nothing. Any advise?? Please. I even try different combinations of wires and nothing, do not start.

[@starboyl2548]

solved the issue?

[@greenedyfrio338]

No still the same after 2 years. I Just learn to live with it. In my case its not that bad, doesn't happen all the time. And its not consisten with rain, sun or temperature. There is a possability of the problem be the ignition coil chip reader. But i never tested. I belive if the problem was the immobelizer module, the "new" module solve the issue.

[@starboyl2548]

hi, is this work on 1994 audi 80? Thanks

[@TroyFujiwara-hn5pf]

I have 1998 volkswagen passat 1.8 Turbo B5 experiencing the same issue like on your car it will crank and no start.. Before I'm doing the key tricks like pressing the keyfob then turn it on position and then turn it off release the keyfob button then go start the car it works every time before. but now it doesn't work anymore the key reprogramming technique does not work anymore and i notice that your dashboard panel and the fuse location is identical to my passat B5 maybe it's because the Audi company is owned by volkswagen so it has the same platform design.. Maybe this immo emulator gadget will resolve the issue on my car.. What do you think? But i will let a professional electrician to do the soldering job

[@eXpl0de1991]

Sveikas. Pas mane kartais vedasi kartais ne. Kartais rakta prispaust reikia.. Cia bus tas box kaltas ar tiesiog zieduka reikia pakeisti?

Hi I have bought a emulator for a Mercedes Vito 112cdi wondering if u had any advise on how to fit them?

[@THEDIYBARN]

Hi, sorry I haven't done in on Mercedes Vito yet

[@muhamedhodzic1026]

Hi @Richard Hopkins Mercedes vito have the immo box behind the instrument cluster, but immo emulator you must connect on the ecu Open ecu and soldering on the board and work 100%

[@88rikdean]

Ok brilliant found a couple of guides but haven't done yet will let know when I have done and if works :)

i have the same car can please tell me where is alarm module and why doesnt works in my car

[@THEDIYBARN]

This car does not have an alarm, so I cannot answer your question, sorry.

[@lauris4887]

Bro it worked.... until i by mistake touched metal with that chip (it wastn in original box) and it sparked making my engine not work again. Do you think the chip burned or system with fuses?

[@rawz8936]

Does changing the key battery might solve the problem?

[@richardIIX]

Hi, buddy :-D The path of crystals and electronics is with the devil :-D I did it exactly according to you and nothing ... but I'm not just a stupid user, I also fixed the TV, I measured the voltage on the module and ... 12.74 .... although the flashlight is charged and almost for female fertility :-D I rather have a problem with cables, but it's already running ... I just said you go to the junkyard and it works ... You medals and a kiss from my girlfriend .. .no in china the price is approx. 3USD, but it sends really fast here ... and we're already driving .... thanks a lot :-D

[@THEDIYBARN]

It's meant to be 12+ V ;) based on what you said, I assume in your case it was just the bad connection between the wire harness and the immo box. I'm happy it works now and you with your girlfriend can enjoy driving it again :)

[@martinsosa3453]

Hi! Thanks so much for your help, I just have a question, this means that the immobilizer will no longer work? Or what does the emulator is supposed to do? Thanks in advance

[@treeoflifeglobal7463]

[@THEDIYBARN]

No, only up to 2000

[@TC-db5fm]

Hi do you know if the factory immobilizer is in the same location for rhd cars. Or is it in the place in relation to where the driver is? Thanks. Also does this method work for solderless options? And do you have any experience using solderless emulators? Thanks again

[@elliotbaggas7571]

Will it work with a 1995 audi A4 1,8t???

[@THEDIYBARN]

Same emulator works on Audi cars up to year 2000. So yes, it will work

[@TheWeberiz]

Sveikas geras video, a būtina vaira ardyti kad prieiti prie imo? aš tai turiu bėda su pulteliu nelabai nori atidarinėti ar užrakinti mašinos B5 šio metu išvis neužrakina tik atrakint eina a sunku pririšt nauja rakteli ir gal turi rekomendacija iš kur pulteli paimt?

[@THEDIYBARN]

Sveikas, kad prie immo prieiti vairo visiskai nebutina ardyti. As tiesiog norejau parodyti kaip visa immo sistema veikia, del to ardziau. O masinos atrakinimas ir uzrakinimas yra su imobilaizeriu nesusijes. Turetu realiai kazkur atskirai resyveris stoveti. Sitoj audi nebuvo nuotolinio atrakinimo, tai negaliu patarti nieko.

Does this fix work for Audi A4 1.8t 1997?

[@THEDIYBARN]

yes, immo is the same on all Audi cars until 2000

[@UrbanRave1982]

@@THEDIYBARN yes but the ECU is not the same. And from what I have seen that makes a difference.

[@THEDIYBARN]

@@UrbanRave1982 Don't worry about the ECU, you are not doing anything with it anyway. This white box that I was working with is the Immo Control Block not the ECU. If it looks the same it will work 100%. If for whatever reason your A4 doesn't have this control block, then your immo is integrated into the dashboard. You can still use the same immobilizer emulator, just that you will need to solder it to the cables going to the dashboard.

[@UrbanRave1982]

@@THEDIYBARN i think I have the same immo box. But easiest way is to buy a already fixed ECU. I saw one one eBay. They say it’s just plug and play.

[@THEDIYBARN]

@@UrbanRave1982 remapped ECU's are more expensive than an immo emulator. If you don't care about the costs, then sure, replace the ECU :)

I have an audi TT, What a piece of shit, always breaking down. German engineering so many electronic failures you have to fix constantly, my old 1987 ford pickup truck has less problems than this time bomb waiting to explode. I will never buy another German car.

[@tesodjukic4377]

Man older cars less brake

[@erickfuchs7397]

#1 TT is girls car. Not even women car. #2 Try some audi from the 80s. Those cars will survive all of us. #3 If you buy unmaintened car for years its no wonder it's always broken. #4 Make investigation before you buy car especially some for you exotic model. #5 audi had not really their best time 2008-2020. They tried VW strategy to make more money on parts than cars itself. Did not work for them. Just huge costs durring warranty period. #6 If you buy audi always try to buy either i4 1.8T/TFSI V8 4.2 any 5 zylinder like 2.2T or 2.5TFSI 2.0T never, NEVER.

The Emulator size was alot smaller that you changed to, what was the other things on the original motherboard that you don't have on your new emulator in the video? Great job btw 👏 🏆
