D8 immobiliser

Post by Col »

guys, I followed the instructions in my handbook, but I can't seem to set my keypad / immobiliser to auto :|

i.e. once set, opening the doors with the plip deactivates the system (for 1 minute)

is this is a well known problem or easy to fix without an expensive trip to the main dealers ?

ok, no worries then :lol:

not that I'm going to do this, but did I read somewhere on this forum that if you unpluggd the keypad when the engine was started, it disabled the immobiliser ?

just curious...

Try it! I know on the 306's if you disconnect the transponder from the ECu when the engines started it unlocks the ECU so you don't need the immob!
