Hey there Guys, so I got in my Vitara the other day went to put my immobilizer in start her up and found that the immobilizer had broken off my keys and is now missing, looked every where for it and nothing!! There for I have I can not start her.....she is my only car so I am desperate to get it running. Any suggestions? I don't mind if I need to disconnect the immobilizer just want it running really....

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Trace out the immobiliser and remove it.

Don't think you will find anyone willing to explain how to potentially steal the cars we love on a public forum.

Thank you, completely understand but thought I had to try, at a loss with it all really.

I couldn't tell you what colour cables you are looking for anyway. Try download the manual for the individual immobiliser and reverse the fitting instructions.

I've sent you a p.m as I've just done it on my vit, and like Dan said not going to advertise how.

I guessed aftermarket as he said it had broken off keys and that it had to be "put in".

I have no idea what was originally factory fitted but I guess an in key transponder.

Thanks guys, its a aftermarket i believe - model is cobra 8510 or something. Hodgie812 havent received any pm from you but if you could lend us your knowledge that would be excellent. I'm sure its a key transponder but ive been told by the manufacturer that i cant get any replacement so gonna just take it out...next year i'd like to turn it into a serious off roader anyway so wont be needing the immobilizer. im gonna open it up tonight and see what i can do

Nae bother, let us know how you get on. sounds a similar model to ours. makes it much easier when we stall it now, no messing around having to reset it before starting up again.
