Renault Immobiliser

[mikeymikewakey]

Is it normal to have to wait approx 30 seconds till you hear the sound of a relay kicking in before you can use your key fob to disarm the renault immobiliser?

Mine seems to be very temperamental and works everytime after the relay kicking in but not before.

Is there a way I can by pass the immobiliser and remove it all together or is it not possible with it being a phase 2 and runs through the ECU?

Thanks

Mike

not sure about your problem - but i recenlty removed a coded phase 2 ecu and replaced it with a phase one fine....removed the imobaliser issues i had.

i think you can get it disabled at reno . with there computer . (xr25)

Well ive just had the most awful day ever as my immobiliser officially packed in this morning. Permanently!

I rang renault to get the emergency code as a temporary measure, so I can override the immobiliser via the central locking button on the centre console. They wanted £35 quid for that - told them to forget that and was disgusted that they wanted that much to tap a few of my details in a computer.
They cant remove the immobiliser via any computers - this is a myth according to renault.

The aerial has leaked and the ir receiver on the roof is quite badly damaged so Ive ordered a new ir receiver from renault today. £40 inc vat, wasnt as bad as i thought - so im hoping this will cure it as the corrosion was quite bad and with the rain we've had for the last week, i think its finally fooked it.

If this doesnt work im stuck for ideas, cos i dont wanna disarm the immobiliser really if i dont have to (which is what an auto-electrician would do). I also dont wanna go to renault cos they'll charge me an absolute mint for a new key etc and coding for the system.

Any ideas anyone if this doesnt work?

As northy said, phase 1 ecu, removes immobiliser.

nah mike remove the plip sensor from the roof pod.. un clip it all..then remove the circuit board. look for the 3 diodes at the front of the board...spin the board upside down and you will see 6 solder marks where the legs are held in./ you will also see that the legs have been bridged with blue/green corrosion. take a pin to destroy the bridging on each diode, remove as much corrosion as you can. the actual board is covered in a lacquer but the solder points often protrude over thedabs of solder.

it should work fine then.

i had the same problem as you.

8pm in winter on the moors...heavy snow...road thicken.. AA took 2 hours...pah.

thats good to no about immobiliser .. but wot a twat if that then wot .. reno maggots silly idea

sode does that code from reno stop the immobilisr complete then?

wot if you want to put a after market alarm on?

hope the ir works mate .. my alarm stoped working and looked into a new alarm was told the bull about immobiliser

whould not noing this myself due to had remote central locking problems at weekend due to rain (no leaks) just that ir reciver was ok when not raining was going to change batterys

i looked at that before for mine .. the mb was ok

also how many times or how long do your batterys last on your pip?

also the angle of the diodes affects it.. you will see 2 plastic mini prongs at the front of each diode...the diodes need to be angle forward ie resting on the prongs
