Immobilizer problems!!

Hi all

Wondering if any one can help. My S1 has been standing for a while over the last few weeks and on trying to start it the immobilizer will not disarm. The alarm shuts off normally and the dash lights come on as normal but the starter motor will not turn. I have done the usual and disconnected the battery to re-set, no joy. I have also by passed the starter circuit to turn the engine over but the ignition is dead leading to my conclusion that the immobilizer has lost its memory or something. Any one had anything similar or any suggestions??.

Thanks john

Check out previous posts. I had this problem, and needed to replace the alarm, immobiliser and keys…nice

are you sure the immobilser cuts power to the starter rather than a spark to the HT leads? It could just be a dead battery.

The imobiliser is very very easy to “hotwire”. Send me a PM if you like and I will let you know what wires to breach. Its very easy!

The hardest thing about hotwiring is getting to the bloody box.
