Pete Attryde Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi, Have been hanging around on here for a while, but not posted much as I have not had anything to ask. However, The immobiliser on my 1996 300TDi Auto with EDC is showing early signs of imminent death, ie not always de-immobilising. I have done the usual and changed the remote batteries and also fitted a new good vehicle battery. But every now and then the car will not start (in fact all I get is the usual dash lights but not the starter turning.) if I wait between 5 and 10 minutes the damn thing starts fine. So anyway I decided after reading Bogmonsters guide to spider repair (and being an electronics engineer with no fear of soldering) to take the dash apart (was also fitting a new headunit) and repair the little black box. Here arrises the problem, Dash all out, expect to see little black box but nothing there, B****r, Ok consult the RAVE disc I have (North American but close enough) and find that the EDC equipped vehicles don't have the little black box!!!!!. So as the title says, how do I disable/remove/bypass the immobiliser and alarm from my wagon? Ideally would like to junk the whole system and install an aftermarket one at a later date. Anyone help? Thanks in advance, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Can't help you with that one I am afraid - I have ony seen one EDC vehicle and the EDC was broken not the immob.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Cheers anyway, guess I should have bought a non-edc one, would make so many jobs easier. Still will persevere with it, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
