bandit600 · 15-06-2007, 21:24

hello

some time ago (think it was in this section) threads where issued re the bypass of the rover Immobiliser.

can anyone help on this??? its not to nick cars

i am fitting an engine from a 220 sdi into a freelander will be using the sdi ecu but cant use the alarm control unit as freelanders alarm control is in the main control unit.

anyway i will need to bypass the Immobiliser to make sure it starts ok and to get it to a garage for them to reprog it to work the Immobiliser.

can anyone help or point me in the direction of the threads i am talking about

many thanks

dean

You will need to get a new keyfob matched to that ECU. There is a place you can send it away.

Im in the same boat, but Ive jus tlost my keys so been reading alot.

Hi guys,
Im new to all these forums and was wandering if it would be possible for someone to help me with the above problem, I have nearly finished slotting a T series engine into my TF and am now having problems with the immobiliser.
I bought the engine with its ecu without realising i need the alarm stuff to go with it.
can anyone help?
cheers in advance

hattjosh · 01-12-2008, 12:33

Which version of the T series do you have? What is the ECU code number.

There are two options.
The first option is if the ECU isn't coded to the alarm unit, i.e. you won't need the alarm ECU to make the engine run
The second option is if the ECU is coded to the alarm. If so you either need to reprogram the ECU to accept a new code unit from the alarm (perhaps even the existing alarm on the TF), or you can have the immobiliser bypassed by companies such as best of british I believe can do it but there are probably others.

There aren't a lot of T series people hanging around in this (diesel) section:
