Immobilizer (IMMO) Service
An immobilizer is an anti-theft mechanism that prevents an automobile’s
engine from starting unless the correct ignition key or other device is
present. This device prevents thieves from starting the car by a method
known as hot wiring. Most new vehicles have an immobilizer as standard
equipment. An important advantage of this system is that it doesn’t require
the car owner to activate it; it operates automatically. An immobilizer is
considered as providing much more effective anti-theft protection than an
audible alarm alone; many auto insurance companies offer lower rates for
vehicles that are equipped with an immobilizer.
As an anti-theft device, an immobilizer disables one of the systems needed
to start a car's engine, usually the fuel supply or the ignition. This is
accomplished by radio frequency identification between a transponder in
the ignition key and a device called a radio frequency reader in the steering
column. When the key is placed in the ignition, the transponder sends a
signal with a unique identification code to the reader, which relays it to a
receiver in the vehicle's computer control module. If the code is correct, the
computer allows the fuel supply and ignition systems to operate and start
the car. If the code is incorrect or absent, the computer disables the system,
and the car will be unable to start until the correct key is placed in the
ignition.
The IMMO service of MK808TS can disable a lost vehicle keys and program
the replacement key fob. One or more replacement key fobs can be
programmed.
