does nobody know if this can be done ?

 

I had the same problem a while ago on a 620, and did a bit of research on the whole topic and it seems there is no easy way around it for obvious reasons. As in if it was easy to turn off.. Crooks would have a field day!! Hence this may also be the reason you have not received any replies.

Depending on what car you have, there is the EKA code, I know your rover guy said he could not get it, but the whole put key in the door ..stand on one leg.. turn key so many times works on some cars and if it has one...it will be retreavable...

you might want to look here, they might be able to help you:

Quote from Sean,

I thought that that the vehicle had a EKA Code but don't want to commit myself to say it has, if it's got one the software I have will pull the EKA out of the 5AS system.

Let me know what you want to do and email me if you wish to meet up and arrange a time.

This offer is open to anyone who wants to re-programme a fob or find the EKA Code to the vehicle. As long as the person brings ID and the log book for the vehicle, to ensure I'm not helping people steal cars, I'll help them.

 

Without the code you are truly stuck with it my friend. The immobilisor is quite complex on the rover and isn't something that can just be removed. You will need to find the code and do it in the lock. Sorry i cant be of anymore help.

 

sometime in the last 2 weeks there was a thread on this sort of topic and someone said about cutting a wire in the ecu to disable it for good cant find the thread now.

 

I'll have a look for it as well, it'd be interesting to read. I really doubt that it will be that simple though. Imagine a car thief stealing a car, just pushing it onto a trailer taking it home and disabling it. Can x-part centres access individual car info? I'll have a search in a while for any info, i'm not doing much else today.

 

what i remember reading was you had to have a working fob and have the car imobilised first.

 

can no one else remember the thread i am on about, the information would be of no use to a car thief for stealing a car because i am sure you had to have a working fob to be able to do it, i am sure it was in the lastcouple of weeks or so. the thread was not started by the person that had the answer it was a reply to some one else ? could the thread have been deleted for security reasons?

If you come to birmingham I'll get the EKA Code for you - if it has one,

If you present to me the log book I'll get this code for you for nothing.

where abouts in birmingham are you i think about your offer the only problem is its about 1 1/2 hours drive for me

 

You can come to my work, Perry Barr, just off J6 M6.

Are you sure your car has a EKA Code??

Jason.

 

what makes you think it does not, i thought they all had one, i just find it a pain fumbling around having to press both buttons on the fob everytime i want to start the car, plus if something goes wrong i only have the one fob.

 

top man this you dont get offers like this very often "FREE"
