IMOBILIZER IS NEXT TO THE FRONT PASSENGERS LEFT LEG IN THE WALL BEHIND SOME PLASTIC . BUT IT PROB WONT HELP IF YOU HAVE AN AUTO ELECTRICIAN TO OVER RIDE THAT LET US KNOW
hi im having trouble with my deawoo matiz when im driving abit the imobiliser goes off and turns all electric off in car is there away i can disable the mobiliser
all BMW 3series come with a factory fitted imobiliser, it can be bypassed under the dash near steering wheel, (usually purple wires) but i advise you seek an auto electrician to do it for you as any mistake can blow the ECU (brain for the car) rendering it useless without replacing the ECU and they are not cheap (but also generally not too expensive either)
When contacting the AUTO ELECTRICIAN, tell them that the imobiliser has gave up the goat (most auto electricians should be familliar with the bmw's imobiliser problem, as its a common fault) tell them that you want it bypassing, or removed completely (they will charge for this service) it also maybe an idea to have your log book handy and some form of I.D as most electricians will not disable an imobiliser without proof of ownership or proof of person (i dont need to state why, as this is obvious)
if this doesnt solve your problem, there is a fault with the chip inside the key, or it maybe that the ECU isnt reading the chip!
463A definitely not VAG codes they are from one of the cheap code readers. Audi A4 Quattro - fault code 463a: engine control unit disabled. This could be a dirty sensor or bad connection somewhere. The immobilizer light flashes when you insert the key? Imobiliser pick up loop in the steering column sounds dodgy, take the cowling off & check its connected ok. Just clipped it back in.
if you have an imobiliser fitted check it is working,some of them allow engine to turn but disable ignition circuit.
next step is to get someone to try to start it in the dark while you watch-often can be a short on the top of the coil to one of the LT terminals.
hope this helps
