How to disconnect an immobiliser // Daewoo Lanos

EyeDeeOne

Hey.
basically i have a spare key with no immobiliser chip in it.
i broke the immobiliser chip in the original key.
i dont want to spend 220e to get a new key.

Can i just disconnect the immobiliser from the ignition somehow, and use the other key to start the car?

Its been sitting outside for a month or two now, driving me mad
Any suggestions? =]

I would imagine that the immobiliser is integrated into the ECU and pretty much impossible to disconnect. Spend the €220!

was just hoping ^^

Whats wrong with your old key ?

If you just broke the blade you can just sellotape the two plastic bits together.

And you will be able to start the car that way.

This worked for me, hope it does the same for you.

If you can get a copy of your old key, €15 for a basic blank copy.

Once you have it, put it in the ignition, have the broken key touching

the new key sa you turn to start it. Got my copy of my broken

key done at Autokey.ie there in Tallaght. Sound lads. Good luck.

Tape the old key to the transponer around the ignition lock, and tie it up under the dash, you can then use ur other key to start the car. The transponer is the black plastic piece that sits on the front of the ignition lock with wires going into, remove it and tape the key to it.

Think you are right. 220 euro for a key for a Lanos? When I was on the service desk in my past I remember seeing a key for a lanos costing about 70 or 80 euro. They key was only about 30 and then the cutting and programming was the rest.

Was that 220 for a whole lock set or something? Or an immobilizer unit?

Agreed.

At best try a few other Daewoo dealers and maybe a locksmith or two - see if you get a more reasonable price.
