Immobilizer interface
When possible use valet key for key wrap. If a blade key is used or if the vehicle is equipped with Keyless Entry, the battery must be
removed from OEM key (the OEM remote may differ from the models shown in the illustrations).
Make sure to test and secure the loops before reassembling the vehicle.
The OEM immobilizer
receiver is located on the
underside of the steering
column, where the ignition
switch would normally be.
- Your OEM remote may differ from the model shown in the illustrations.
- Test and secure mounted loops before reassembling the vehicle.
- Make 4-6 loops and place them around the front of the plastic body of the vehicle’s coded key as shown above.
