How the Immobilizer Works

[paintballgundown8]

my car will brick itself if you try to start it with a wrong key. Then you have to tow it to the dealer to get it reprogrammed. Im not positive on this but i have read the same story a few times

[dcram08]

@OJ88 mine won't start at all

[dcram08]

@oj88 hey my car does the same thing but won't start with any keys any ideas

[jsidekick]

Hondas are garbage

@jsidekick What a useful comment! What exactly is the relevance to this video?

Hey mate my car got stolen and it was a 1999 ford falcon with a immobiliser and everything.Do you have a clue as what are the possibilities to start it as the forensic locksmiths couldn't find anything either even after the investigation shit.

Is thee any way anyone can steal that car without the correct key??

@karandeep2009

Most professional thieves know how to defeat the immobilizer it's RFID based so it's not really that secure.

Some even prefer to cars with key less ignition as they don't have to deal with the mechanical lock as well.

[ericspda]

@karandeep2009 Yes. The immobilizer just makes it much harder to start the engine. You still can tow the car away, or bypass the immobilizer. Different manufactures use different systems, and some are much easier to bypass than others. If you know the vehicle well, you can steal it with ease.

i can prove u wrong uni remote been there done it . next bullshit

[oj88]

@deeznutsdld

Not saying that it ain't foolproof. It's just a little explanation about how it works is all

[deeznutsdld]

yeah who cares i took a moter from 04 type r and put in my 91 civic . bunch of useless shit ik u ask me

[MrExtrao95]

Be aware, 2006 Honda Civics have a defect in the Immobilizer system. If the car's battery becomes discharged and left that way for a little as a few hours, the immobilizer loses its programming, and you will NOT BE ABLE to start your car, and it will have to be towed to a Honda dealer so they can reprogram your car keys. The Honda service bulletin about this is apparently #09012005, but good luck finding out what it actually says anywhere online.

[tiririca52]

so you 're saying that the 06+ civics cames from factory w/ that system ....... ???????

so........... no one can steal an 06+ civics by breaking into the ignition and turn right ?????????

[lockguy34]

yeah allmost every vehicle in the past 10 years has some type of anti theft system in place

[UKrapper67]

so if the stops or interferres with the immoberlizer signal from key (saying its a bad key) so whats says it carnt be reversed to send a signal to the immobiliser saying its the correct key ?

[Jackcc5]

there are some cars like the cryselers that will allow you to start the car but then it will keep cuting out abut 4 seconds or so

[thecarexpert18]

good thing i have a honda!

[Agent92]

Yeah, well, you can thank the Germans for inventing the idea in the 1990s. BMW has had this feature on their cars since then and numerous others have followed.

[castn209]

hey where can i buy this "Immobilizer"?

[oj88]

It's built into the car from the factory.

[Jackcc5]

you can get aftermarket imobilsers in after market alarms systems they can build them in to any car pretty much

[belizetj]

Will an old credit card work?

[oj88]

It could if it has an RFID embedded inside. But if it's just the typical kind with a magnetic strip, no.
