I think I must have missed the part where you told us how to get the correct code for our car and avoid up to the 273 hours and 23 minutes it would take to enter the 6,561possible combinations for a 4 digit code. Of course, that’s figuring 2.5 minutes per code entry and starting attempt and does not factor in the delays due to the 3.2 probable suicide attempts.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Obviously 0000 to 9999 = 10,000 combinations. Entering 6,561 combinations gets you almost 2/3rds of the way there, so please don't give up yet, keep trying!

What you think all makes and models work this way? What's the year and model of your car?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi, this video was originally intended for the few Rover 800 owners I thought might need it, with only a few dozen views ever expected, my car being a Rover 800 Coupe from the late nineteen nineties. Back then and until very recently I had pretty much stayed with Rover 800's, so have little to no knowledge of any other cars systems. It turns out that that it does also works out on some other vehicles too, including a couple of MG, some Jags, Land Rovers, Hondas, a couple of Kias, and a few more makes/models, even on a couple of Nissans (although most Nissans of that age used Nissan's own NATS system)(...which I no nowt about). Other makes and models often used there own systems too, or were still using none. I would have been perfectly happy just to know, that making this had helped even just one Rover 800 owner to enter there code, as the instructions to do this in the Rover 800 handbook were a little tricky to understand and as in my case too it was always difficult to do correctly so as an owner you would still be stuck with an immobilised car. To have also helped a few other owners on this/their journey has been a godsend for some, but to get a million+ hits, I truely never expected that! Thanks for comment and watching.

[@Be-kind_to_Animals2024]

I have one question if someone can help me please. If for example the key code is 4528 so i will turn the key to the right and lift these many times. What if the second digit is zero? Or if any of the digits or zero. What do i do then? Thanks for the help

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Use 10 for zero. So 4528 would indeed be entered as 4 5 2 8, but if it was 4028 then the code you would enter would be 4 10 2 8 and for 4508, the code you would enter would be 4 5 10 8. Hope this helps, thanks.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi your Hummer will most likely use a transponder key/remote with a chip inside that communicates with a receiver around the ignition switch. Most vehicles after 2005 use transponder chips and I would Guess most GMs did too, these usually require someone with equipment to program them to the car, like the dealer or an autolocksmith although I can't be sure what your vehicle does indeed require. Great vehicles rarely see any these days. Only Hummers I have been in was a Military Humvee in USA (20odd years ago), and a Hummer H1 in the UK (15-20 years ago). The H1 owner took us for a short drive in it, said there were only 6 of the in the UK back then. Got loads of attention. There was an owners club for them back then, not sure if it's still running.

Hi, they came with the cars when new, usually on a card within the handbook wallet, but would often get lost over the years and owners since.There is no default code, if there was the immobilisers would be pretty useless. (I know phones and TV sets etc can be reset to defaults, their manufacturers are stupid, as it does little to prevent their theft!). The codes used to be on lists from the manufacturers, which you now need a dealer or auto-electrician to obtain as they are only supplied to the trade only, a few years back you could find a lost code for a couple of quid on ebay, but all that was stopped.

I am not sure how the Ford PATS system works and if it uses any code like this. Check out any Ford forums, but most replies might come back mentioning the usually electrical gremlins on the cars. It seems the wiring looms get a bit cooked on them (above the engine?), and also the connections under one of the fuse boxes (passenger side?) get a little corroded. The connectors (about 10 of them) can be removed 1 by 1 and spray cleaned with electrical cleaner as that often helps, push each back on back gently and securely. but elsewhere check wires for signs of ageing.

Where do I find this code? When I bought my ‘04 Honda Pilot, it only had 1 key and no fob. Now the darned thing won’t start!!

[@ifitsgotwheels]

The code came with the car handbooks although could also be got from the dealers. The last MGs and Rovers that used this system were around 2003, I do not know when Honda last used it and by 2003 many Honda models could have switched over to transponder keys instead where the key or fob had a chip inside instead. It usually costs a bit to get spare keys or fobs that are coded to a car and on these older vehicles it can be better to try and find a specialist that can code a key rather than going to the dealers. One alternative is to check the forums for those with similar make and model to see what electronics can be changed if any, as a second hand set of electronics and keys can sometimes prove worthwhile if you can locate a cheap set from the scrap dealers or eBay or clubs or forums, sometimes they can be easy to find other times not so.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Mine left me stranded at the shops too, then I bought my EKA code online and once I got the hang of using it, then I made this vid to help others. The EKA codes were supposed to be on a card with the handbooks, but rarely does an owner have them! There were a few online sites selling owners their codes cheap (some even sold them on ebay) but these all appear to have been shut down/gone out of business now, apart from a site called Hickleys. The trouble is Hickleys will not sell the codes to the public only to the motor trade, so it means getting the dealer or an auto electrician now just to get a code. In the past the original dealer for the car would often still have a record with the code and supply it for free to those with proof of ownership and i.d. Most modern cars are on a different system now using transponder keys (keys or fobs with a small chip in them), again these need a dealer or autoelectrian to program them into the car. If your car was built after 1997ish then most vehicles should have an OBD2 / OBD II conection to which anyone can hook up a fault code reader. A fault code can often help diagnose what/where the problem is. Anyone you may know into cars, might have one they can connect up for you. Sometimes a remote needs resyncing with a car, the method to do this can vary for make and model, sometimes you have to press button a few times or two together, or even have ignition on or off, or even press or enter a code via the brake pedal. My car was simply press lock or unlock button (I can't remember which) 5 times quickly in a row. For other makes and models you would have to ask on relevant forums. Sorry I can't help more as I have not owned many cars just a few old Rovers and now a couple of Vauxhalls. Vauxhall charged me £111 for a key to be programed in on an Astra.

[@jeannepriest758]

We put a new ignition into our Jetta but getting the immobilizer warning which turns the car off as soon as it starts. Is there a way to fix this?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Sometimes the key may need resyncing to the immobilizer. I am not sure how this is done on your VW but there are a couple of things worth trying. One is to press lock or unlock buttons several times in a row , try each one separately and try with ignition on and ignition off. Check your vehicle's handbook as often it will have the way the remote should be resynced in there. For our 2012 Polo to synchronise a key. Fold out the flip key. Whilst close to the vehicle press the unlock button on the remote, then within 60 seconds unlock the vehicle using the key bit. After this the remote should work again. It does mention in our Polo manual that the Cover of the drivers door handle may need removing! Sometimes a battery reset for half hour works wonders too but only disconnect your battery if you have radio and other codes you may need. Other than that hit the VW forums before getting in an auto locksmith to sort. If you switch the old ignition back in and it works with that then maybe the ignition forms part or the immobiliser coded parts, this may mean the dealer needs to progam it in. Best of luck.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi it sounds to me that you are entering the code in the correct way as the car has acknowledged this with the beep. Using this method I only managed to switch the immobiliser off on about half the Rovers I had! Although the cars were supposed to come with the codes on a card in the handbook, many get lost over the years. I know that when you could buy the codes off guys on ebay and the forums years back (I don't know anyone supplying them now) many of the codes in the lists they had were incorrect, so if you purchased the code somewhere it might not be correct! In many cases there was a simple fix to this and you just had to add one to the 2nd and 4th digits of the code, so if you have 4268 then also try 4369 (adding 1 to the 2nd and 4th digits). If you have any zeros, or a nine as the 2nd or forth digit for which you would replace with a zero, do 10 turns for these. so for 4269 also try 4, 3, 6, 10! Even the +1 method may not work though as some cars when they went in for work on them got new codes, and therefore would not match either the original card or list of numbers! Also some MGs seem to require 10 minutes between attempts according to some old forum uses, but I think this was for 2003 onwards cars so should not effect yours. On Land Rovers instead of just locking the door at the start you would keep the key turned to the lock position for 5+ seconds to get the car into the code entry phase, I don't think your MG is like this (as yours does beep at the end) but anything is worth a try. Best of luck, I hope you can get your code to work if not try thr MG clubs and forums as somebody there may well be able to help. Thanks for watching.

Our Jeep has an immobiliser, the VTSS may just be an alarm rather than alarm & immobiliser we are not too sure. We do have a bypass switch on the clutch pedal, which prevents the vehicle from being started without a foot on the clutch, but your car is most likely an auto anyway.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

After searching on the internet it seems the supplying dealers keep a copy of the codes for cars that they sell. I managed to find out which Vauxall dealer supplied the car new. I gave them a phone call and they supplied me with the Key code and Immobiliser code. This saved having to pay my local dealer to around £25 to get them. The original dealer will usually like to see a copy of receipt or V5, but as they were so far away, they said send them doc by email and a few minutes later I had the codes. He said they do not have the wheel locking nut codes, but thankfully I had that one in with the locking nut key. My local dealer used the codes I obtained to order a fob with the key blank ready cut for the car. I then took it the car to the dealer once this had arrived. I gave them the key I had so they could put both the old key and new one into the car, which would 'take around 45 minutes'. ...only 45 minutes later, they realised the key they had cut did not fit/turn ignition! So they re-ordered again, this time taking the codes I gave them correctly, and a few days later got one ordered in and then after taking car to them once more, '45 minutes' later, it worked. I think if they had got things right the first time they would have charged me more for it!

Easy wasy to test though, lock, unlock, lock, unlock, lock, unlock and if it beeps then that will indicate a code can be entered but that the code you just tried (1111) is wrong.

Whether getting the code will end your immobilser problem though is another matter. try asking on various Vauxhall forums for help from anyone local.

I am not sure what codes if any Volvo uses though as the locksmith trade supplier only lists Key Codes and not immobiliser ones. Although it's possible Volvo did use them on the older cars. I doubt any code would turn off an active alarm though. If an alarm is sounding when battery is connected the remote should switch it and immobiliser off. If it does not then only disconnecting the battery for a longer time, normally 30 mins for most makes, will reset the system allowing for the ECU to drain of power. It might be that the remote needs resyncing but again I don't think any resyncing is possible while the alarm is sounding. Hopefully pot luck will overide it all for you soon!

[@johnrichardson1138]

Can you plz tell me whats the code for a 93 lexus ls400 or how do i find out

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi with Rovers they came on a card in the handbooks. I didn't have mine but found someone selling codes on eBay back then. There were also websites selling them. Nowadays though only the trade can get them from sites like Hickleys. So only the dealers and auto locksmiths registered with them can buy them now. Not sure how Lexus models are secured, but most cars now you have to get the old codes off the dealership, worth asking on any Lexus forums for anyone supplying them as sometimes old workers have access to old lists that's if you car even uses any codes, but again those forum guys are usually the best in the know.

I was just wondering if you could PLEASE help me out with my 2006 VZ Commodore, it has problems starting. When I brought it the owner said it had previous problems starting, she didn't know what was wrong with it sometimes it would start straight away & other days it woul h save problems starting. My partner reckons it's the immobilizer, but I don't know. Do you think that this is what could be wrong with my car? & if so where do I find the key code?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi I am not sure what it can be. Cars are a pain when not working and anything from a relay and wiring to coils & ignition or immobiliser/key could be causing problems. Best thing to do on any modern car (1997 onwards) is to get it checked on OBD2 to see if there are any fault codes present that could give an indication of the cause. If the Commodore uses any codes I would not know, but I think the key will probably be a transponder type with a chip inside it due to the car age. So most likely entering the code a simple way like this would not be possible and more likely a trip to a dealers or visit by an autolocksmith would be required, so check out any Commodore forums to see what probs any other owners have experienced first. The only Vauxhall we have here is a 2014 Astra one which we had to pay the Main Dealer 111GBP to sort 3 years ago for them to program a new key to it. Sorry I can't be of any more help, I have not owned many vehicles.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi if you can't find a code, try turning the key a couple of times each way in the drivers door lock and see if the horn beeps. If it doesn't beep at all then your car won't use this method. It mostly only works on cars 10 years older. Your car probably has a chip of some sort inside the remote key. how you bypass it though I do not know. I've mostly only had old Rovers from the nineties.

Hi I cant find any solution online for my 2005 Mazda Tribute 2WD V6 (ford engine) I got stuck in the middle of nowhere. Already tried replacing the ignition switch and nothing. Is there a key code for my car?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Most cars from early 2000s onwards have a small (transponder) chip in the ignition key that a reacts with the receiver coil at/around the ignition switch. These usually require specialist equipment to reprogram. I do not know Mazda, but some fords had a different system with some sort of red or master key that the car must have. Auto locksmiths will normally be cheaper than dealers but look for an online service too as there are sometimes guys that you can send ECUs off too that can fix these issues. Best of luck.

[@donnyten2041]

does this work on a 2007 chrysler 300 touring? a recent friend of mind had mechanics throw parts at it but when I checked the codes in the computer one was a P0513 ( immobilizer key code) which is the reason the car isn't starting. Mind you her key is damaged and duct taped to death but it still works in the ignition and what not

[@ifitsgotwheels]

no sorry, the 300C will have a much more complicated alarm/immobiliser after news the earlier cars were so easy to pinch, they are supposed to buzz when you insert the key, and should not be attempted to start if they don't as after 6 attempts to start the car it will not start and will need towing to the dealers! Worth trying a local locksmith to see if they can code it / a new key in.

[@rehua777]

where do you find the emergency code for the immobiliser?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

In with the cards handbooks, failing that it seems they can only be got through dealers and auto electricians now.

[@peterward2357]

All very well but WHERE do you find the code?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi it should be WHERE you or the previous owner(s) PUT IT! The cars that require these sorts of codes are just like those Ford cars that you should never buy without a Red Key! Any car that requires any sort of code should be avoided unless the seller sorts it out first or you only pay for the vehicle accordingly. The codes usually came with the handbooks often on a card with the radio and or key lock codes too. If lost, then usually you will only get them from the dealers or autolocksmiths now as most manufacturers are now only supplying the motor trade. A few years ago they were available on ebay for £2, but all the ebay sellers were shut down, so now you have to pay up, unless you can find the original supplying dealer of the vehicle, these will often supply the code for free with proof of ownership and/or i.d. if they still have their list! Sometimes lists have been sold/passed on to owners clubs or forums, so it's always worth checking with them too when stuck.

[@SkySprice]

I have a 2005 PT Cruiser... does this method work and if so how do I find that code?

How do you get the code if you don't have it? I have a 2005 MPV Mazda

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Without the small card that came with cars (that used such codes) or the cheap websites & eBay listings that provided codes which have all long since gone, getting codes now usually means off the dealership or from an auto locksmith. Both usually charge as they usually buy the code either from Hickleys website or the original main dealership for the car. Often main dealerships will supply the code for free direct to owners with proof of ownership and i.d. Lots of cars from the naughties might be on newer systems using a transponder key though rather than a code, again these type of keys will often require a dealer to program. I don't know of Mazda security so worth asking on a relevant forum. Last Mazda I drove was a Mazda 121 around 30 years ago!

[@HutchyHutchable]

@ifitsgotwheels, would I have an EKA code for my 2012 Hyundai Sonata GLS?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Most cars after 2005 won't use this system. around that time most makes had changed over to transponders with a chip in the remote control or key. Normally these require programming into the car brain by an auto locksmith or car dealers. These can not normally be bypassed but try any Hyundai owners club or forum to see if there is a bypass or removal option.

[@San1typlays]

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi, I know nothing about Renault immobilisers so I am not sure which Kangoo models this works on but you could try this method, With the ignition off:- Hold down the internal central locking button down for 5 seconds the main red light will go to solid red. Then press the internal central locking button twice Then holding the key fob button insert into ignition (still holding the button) and turn to the pre ignition position where the glow plugs light lights up. The immobiliser light should illuminate then go out! You should then be able to start the engine! for some models 98-03 It seems the key / keyfob may have a code a 8-digit long number inside it begining with the letter E. To see it though you may need an UltraViolet light. & perhaps these numbers can also be got from your Renault Dealer if you take a long your V5 document. The 8-digit code alows you to get a simple device to bypass the immobiliser, the 4-digit code might be for entering in the lock with the key. for more details of a bypass device see; www.remotekey.co.uk/renault/renault-kangoo-immobiliser-bypass/ thanks.

The key did not look or feel dirty at first glance, however, some of its crevices did have a small amount of accumulated dirt/fluff. I cannot guarantee it was not a fluke, but it did work and the immobiliser got disenganged normally, every time (around 8-9 times all together).

[@ifitsgotwheels]

I am not sure what is causing your problems, but if you have only just got the car recently, then depending on how long the car/battery has been unused for it can sometimes just be the battery that is causing the problems. Make sure the battery is fully charged, if the car still has the problem check the leads are on tight and that all the earth leads appear to have good clean connections. If it still not starting disconnected the car battery for an hour and reconnect it as sometimes just clearing the memories will work. (although you may need to re enter a code into your radio afterwards (so check you have one first!)). If it is the immobiliser causing this and you don't have the fobs/keys for it. You may have to send your cars brains away to get new ones or have the system bypassed both ways can cost a small fortune. If you don't have any codes for your vehicle then if you can contact the original car dealer for the car, they may supply them to you for free if you provide proof of ownership to them (I got some codes from a Vauxhall dealer in the UK a few weeks ago for free, & took them to the local Vauxhall dealer so they could do work on the car, (the local dealer wanted to charge a fee for getting the codes for me.)) A good alternative is to buy a set of the ecu/ccu/other boxes needed with matched/keys off a scrap car, these can often be found on ebay, and is what I will fit in the car shown in the video above, when I can get the one. Best of Luck.

[@gearldwinston5251]

I don't have a security light lit up. Any ideas

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Most vehicles built after 1997 will record fault codes to help reveal the source of any past or present errors. In 90%+ of those vehicles the fault codes can be read with an OBD II (OBD 2) reader. If you don't have one find someone with one or buy a cheap one off eBay. Some mechanics might even tell you you fault codes for free (and perhaps quote for any remidial work). Not everything will though up a fault code though, a something like a broken wire or bad earth can cause havoc and prove tricky to find. Make sure you have a good battery with good earth connections to engine and body. Check any electrical connectors to ECU or alarm boxes are fully clipped in. Anything else, could be a bit of a bigger to find!

Mine not working when u turn it do you take it all the way back to the lock position or just before the lock position? For example if the number is 1813 would u do 1 then to lock position then when u do 8 u take it all the way to the lock position 8 times? And how many times can you try this b4 it it's off? Can it b tried unlimited amount of times till you get it right?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

hi after locking the car, yes you would unlock once, then lock 8 times, then to unlock 1, then to lock 3 times. Each time you turn the key to lock or unlock return to the central position. Take your time as there is no rush to enter the code. on the car above you can make three attempts after which it's a half hour wait before you can try again. You could try every code, but allowing for the waiting time, it would take about a year to do so, if you make no mistakes and allowing for sleep each night! On the Rover above, the codes were not right for all the cars, some people have found that adding 1 to the second and forth digits corrects this. So if 1813 does not work then 1914 can also be tried. I am not sure what happens when you have a zero in the code as I have not had a car with one, maybe it is simply 10 times for a zero. If all else fails there are intenet services that will supply new fobs, but to do this you usually have to send away the brains/units from the car. Some of these also offer a bypass service so you never need to enter the code again. That sound useful, but unless you then fit an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser, it makes your vehicle much easier to steal. Time for another go.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Depending on your vehicle your keys are most likely ones that need transponders in the key, this is a small chip that communicates with the alarm/immobiliser to let the car know it is the right key that is trying to start the vehicle, having a key cut will indeed turn the key in the barrel and ignition on, but if the key has not been programmed into the cars alarm system then it will not allow you to turn over the engine itself. Most cars less than 15 years old, need keys to be programmed in by the locksmith or dealer as far as I know.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

It's possible that using your spare key has ran the car battery down low enough, that the correct key is now failing to provide enough power for the starter motor to provide enough of a kick to start the engine. The car should start with the key, and should even start with the spare key, when your original is held up beside it so the chip inside it is close enough to the ignition. Try charging the car battery or get someone to give you a start with jump leads. If it starts with jumper cables, then it is just your car battery that wants a charge. Best of luck.

Other cars had different systems, some even entered codes via the brake pedal, others were with PC hook up only.

That age Dodge seems to suffer somewhat from corrosion according to this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGGqaJqvf9CbpNE so that would be one place to check.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi ask at your local dealers if you do not have any in your info pack, although I am not sure if a Honda that new uses this system. Maybe you have transponder keys or red keys instead. First place I would look on your car when it won't start is not the immoboliser anyway, I would check/replace the earth lead from the car battery negative to the car body. Normally they turn green inside & at best you get about 10 years from them, so it could be yours is due a replacement and they don't cost much so usually work out as a very cheap fix. I actually hope this is what is causing your problems. To test stick a jumper cable on the negative terminal and other end to engine block (you do not even have to remove existing cable) and see it it will start.

[@ifitsgotwheels]

If your Honda has transponder keys and uses a Immobiliser eka/brake code. Get the "Immobilizer Brake Code" from the Honda dealer; you would have to go to the dealer and show them proof of ownership of the vehicle, thus to very strict policy they will not give any information over the phone. The "Immobilizer Brake Code" is a five digit number. Each car has a different "Immobilizer Brake Code" since they are V.I.N(Vehicle Identification Number) specific. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II). Have the BRAKE CODE in front of you. To enter the first number of the BRAKE CODE, press and release the brake the same number of times as the first number in the BRAKE CODE. For example if the first number in the BRAKE CODE is a 2, press and release the brake 2 times. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. Within 30 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the ON position (II). For example if the 2nd number in the BRAKE CODE is a 3, press and release the brake 3 times. Continue entering the BRAKE CODE as described above for the rest 3rd, 4th and 5th digits. After entering the 5th number, the immobilizer indicator light on the dash should flash 5 times and then shut off. The car should now start. This procedure must be repeated each time you turn off the car for more than 10 minutes. The Immobilizer System indicator will remain on while the engine is running. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you find your keys or drive home to get them, they cannot be use until the vehicle has been turned off for more than 10 minutes.

It will work on earlier Land Rovers, but not sure what years it went too. Probably 99-02 at the latest though as with other Rovers. Land Rovers usually had to start the sequence by turning the key to the Lock position for 5 seconds before entering the code. Try locking position for 5 seconds, then unlock lock unlock lock unlock, if you get a beep then it would seem you can enter a code this way as you have just entered a wrong one. ...unless your code is 1111!

Normally the immobiliser when doing it's job correctly would stop you completely from allowing the engine to crank (although on some vehicles it might just try for a second then stop) so if the car will crank none-stop then although it could still be the immobiliser it could ba anything else too. Best thing to do is to check to see if there are any fault codes on your vehicle as they can often reveal the location of the problem. Almost all vehicles built since 1997 are fitted with on board diagnosis systems which can be read by connecting an OBD II (OBD 2) reader too. You may have to buy an OBDII reader, but these can be found on the internet for just a couple of pounds upwards. Although dragging the car to the dealers would be one option buying a fault code reader may help resolve your problems without having the expense or hassle of that. Any fault codes generated will just be letters and numbers, but the meaning of all of them are standardised for all makes and models, so you can seach easily for fault codes on google to find their meanings. Of course you can always try asking in a Mercedes Forum for similar problems with other owners as this can often be the quickest way to resolve unkown and hard to find, but turn out to be common problems that others already have the answers too. Sorry i have no experience of Mercs, Best of luck with your car.

@@ifitsgotwheels hi thanks for the reply. Well as a matter of fact my mate came over with his multi make computer which unfortunately read the fault as being the immobilizer with no digits, just immobilizer fault. His computer is a Delphi (we are in France). I understand what you mean about the immobilizer immobilizing everything! In my case the engine cranks nonstop when I turn the key. But there is no power getting to fuel pump in the tank and therefore, no fuel getting to the injection system. Weird problem this seems! Regards Alex

[@sibusisodlamini7290]

I have a Landmark Mitsubishi from Jeep. the car keys seem to have 0000 code but start with "3600220-000" so I believe the code is 0000. How do I deactivate the mobilizer?

Is there any chance this could work on my rover 25. Same sequence?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi. I never had one only the MK1 200's and then MK1 400's. The guys over on mg-rover forums should know, if it's still going.

[@mitchellbirkhead9214]

ifitsgotwheels yeah I’ve been looking around. Having a fuckin mare with it all tho.

[@superchimp29]

Will this work for a 05 plate vauxhall astra?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi I'm not sure, the only astra we have is from 2014 and that cost me £111 from the Vauxhall dealer to have a key coded a couple of years ago.

hi I have a 2001 325xi bmw my key allows me to get into the car but won't start will this work also on my car

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi I think yours will have the BMW EWS system and each key including any valet key will have a chip inside. The car can be reprogrammed to accept new ones or have old ones deleted from the system if they any are lost, but car normally has 2 + 1 valet when new and in total only 10 can ever be entered into the system, once car has had 10 different keys EWS module has to be replaced to change any after that. I have no idea what is causing your immobiliser fault though, and before spending any money on any keys you will need to get somebody to rule out the starter first.

[@Donstep1000]

I starter checked this week in a shop is good and they told me I may have to replace my ews system

[@AllStarRealEstateSteveHula]

where do I find the emergency code for my 2003 Jaguar x-type?

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi I have never owned a Jag so don't know if they even use a code. Normally they are on a card with the owners handbooks. The Jag may not have an immobiliser code like this as the Hickleys website only mentions Key Code only, sorry!

[@AllStarRealEstateSteveHula]

ok thanks. Not sure if I should install a bypass or replace the Immobiliser?

[@Schumikonen]

How do I find my code? I have this problem right now, my car is a Mazda 3 2008

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Your car will most likely be far too new to use this old system. Most cars from this century have been fitted with coded/transponder keys/fobs.

[@latarsiapearsey667]

Where do you go to get your code? I have a 2012 Kia Sportage

[@ifitsgotwheels]

Hi I have no idea when it comes to Kias, I know back in the nineties when my car was made Kia were also using the same engine, but I think since then Kia went it's seperate way. With your vehicle only being 5 years old chances are that it has a transponder chip inside the key which these days usually requires a trip to the dealers as the car and the car require programming together. Although in many cases local locksmiths can often cut & code them for much less. I've trust tried Googling your model and it seems you can get new remotes £42 (not sure how they program in though, so you would have to check) or Immobiliser Transponder Recoding and Replacement Car Key Service but this is a 3-day send away and costs £108. take a look here; www.autotronics.co.uk/car-part-repair/kia/sportage/je-2004/remote-key-fob/ and here; www.autotronics.co.uk/kia-sportage-immobiliser-transponder-recoding-and-replacement-car-key-service.html although that was just from the first result on Google there will be many more companies, unless you can find an easier way on youtube to recode yours....
