Installing A Remote Start? How To Tell If The Vehicle Is Equipped With A Anti-Theft Transponder Based Immobilizer System.


 If you are installing a remote start system into your vehicle or having someone install it for you, you should first find out if you will need a immobilizer bypass module. Here is a quick way you can find out if your vehicle is equipped with a anti-theft transponder based immobilizer system.  

Get a piece of tin foil about 2sf and fold it in half about 4 times
Take your key off any key chains
Place it on the corner of the tin foil
Fold the tin foil over the top of the key
Tightly rap the key in tin foil making sure the top of the key is completely covered. Them stick it in the vehicles ignition switch and try to turn it over. If the key will not turn in the ignition switch or the vehicle will turn over but will not start or starts briefly and then dies, then your vehicle is equipped with a anti-theft transponder based immobilizer system. You will need to purchase a immobilizer bypass module to temporarily disable the anti-theft system, in order to remote start your vehicle without the key in the ignition switch. You can get these bypass modules from various manufactures, and sometimes you will need several keys to program them correctly, in some cases you will even have to give up one of your keys permanently. I usually use Flashlogic modules, they normally go for about $99 and if you can't figure out how to flash it or install it, your local car audio shop should be able to help you out :) Let me know if anyone has any questions...  http://www.flashlogic.com/
