Lost Keys / Immobilizer, ....How to get a new one? Options

[j3rk]

The story goes that i lost my keys + immobilizer on the weekend (dammit.)... Sadly my spare immobilizer had also gotten a flat battery and thus when i replaced it, it has lost the right frequency (presumably.) and will not disarm the alarm...

To the point I have heard of people who will come out and workout the frequency and was wondering if anyone knew the details?

On a side note the back of the immobilizer there is a stickered number which was on both of the immobilizer ... I'm hoping this will be for replacements / reprogramming but am not sure...

Any help is appreciated cheers,
Paul.

best way to get a key made is take out your boot lock and take to a lock smith cost me $14

is it a cheap imob?
if yes get a new one hundred bucks fitted ( remember some one now has your keys and imob )
if you want the fix the old one i have neva heard of a remote losing its frequency , i would take it into a shop and get em to test it

did u put the right batt in it ?

what car is it?? find out if its transponder key type, and if so see if transponder & key have to match the ecu? if not just buy a lock set (ignition, 2 doors and boot lock), and if required grab the transponder with the locks, its a black plastic surround that clips around igniotion barrel.......

i.e the very latest toyota key/transponder system thats "flawless" and fitted to latest supercharged aurion TRD's, corolla/camry sportivo's etc............can be bypassed by anyone who has a key and transponder ......simply unplug the transponder from main wiring harness of car , plug in your "replacement transponder to the 4 pin plug....start car with the "replacement"key

meaning........if a thief wants your new toyota etc...(supposed to be secure) the he simply has to use a key etc from another one.......( i worked this out while playing a trick on my mrs hehehe) holdens however need the body control module to match the transponder....(only 1 minute longer to swap)...

in the long run....get a new lock set from ebay/wreckers etc or swap with a mate if u think key finder may know your address..........
