Hello from Europe brother, thanks for this video! This fix worked for me, Couple of things tho: 1. You dont need the constant power source, only the 2 other wires are needed. But i agree a kill switch is a good idea considering the car doesnt have an immo anymore. 2. This will work with an OBD2 ECU if you combine this bypass with the bypass inside the ECU (open the OBD2 ECU, locate the small board named "immo ao" and just remove it) 3. If you want to keep your plug intact, you can use a paper clip to bridge the connector. Ps. for european brothers, the wire colors in our cars will be different than in this video, but they are plugged the same, follow the wire location on the plug, not the wire color!! Thanks bro, couldnt have done this without you!!!

The immobilizer sends a signal to the ECU allowing it to start or not start depending on if the ring reads the correct chip. The Chip in the key the immobilizer and ECU are all linked together. They are all a set, you can't just swap one without all 3. This may or maynot work but I have personally installed an OBD1 adaptor and P28/Hondata and it started just fine with no other modifications.

This works 100% with an s300.I have rewired my prelude completely and can confirm.If you're doing the same thing with a stock k24 ecu you need it chipped or k-tuned bypass module.But yeah essentially it just cuts the power n earths like he said.After that it matches the key signal to ecu and if they dont match it doesn't throw plug spark and other stuff.So there's 2 parts to ecu immobilizer(except obd1).So even if you bypass it without a chip.immobilizer bypass it will cry again.

I call bullshit on saying a chipped obd1 ecu won’t bypass an immobilizer. I’ve ran with an obd1 p28 for 7 years and lost my keys a ton of times and CAN still start my car without the key or triggering the immobilizer. Still a good and informative video.
@_Juls Жыл бұрын
The issue was the Immobilizer control unit itself in his car ended up with a problem that would kill power going to the ecu. In a vast majority of swap situations, it’d be like you said: OBD1 swap, Immobilizer Starter bypass to use any key if you choose, and start/run with no issues. However, the control unit is still in-line with the circuit. Since it is present and is still being powered in some capacity with relations to the ecu, a risk of problems in the future will be possible. Give current 5th gen owners who are stepped down to OBD1 another decade or two. Eventually, the Immobilizer control unit circuit boards will begin to show age and problems like he described will arise.

Then explain why my fix worked you saw it clear as day the car used to work just find then the immobilizer failed and heres the result it could vary year by year it could not this is what worked for me because i tried just having the immobilizer unplugged and then nothing worked at all.

So I’m having an issue with my 98 prelude I just bought it off a guy he said it’s salvage due to theft . Everything in car is completely stock ! Guy stated that only thing they took was the ecu . Car used to not crank over . I repaired few power wires I changed spark plugs and wires that got car to crank over and turn on for about 3 seconds then car shuts off I got fuel coming in . Got spark , fuel and air . I checked distributor everything was fine timing was correct ECU is getting signal and ignition switch is fine . I’m beginning to think it’s the immobilized due to theft issue and having to put another ecu in it . . Would this possibly repair the car by passing immobilizer ? This my last solution

There should be no reason to feed power from A1 (always hot) to A4 (hot in run). The A4 is only there to give the immobox RUN power. It doesn't reverse it to power things externally. If you had to do this then it means you where having an issue with your RUN power feed. May want to look into that cause right now your powering it all from the immo's original always hot fuse.
