Component Details:
Immobilizer system is designed to prevent vehicle theft by electronically disabling the engine starting system. The
engine can be started only with vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key, which has an electronic identification
programmed code. Immobilizer unit is an add-on part on the ignition switch, fitted on the steering column. The
engine can be started only with the vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key. The electronic key communicates
