This electronic component appeared 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your BMW 2 Series. In fact, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) integrated in the key, and, a immobilisation control box integrated in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your BMW 2 Series will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one asked by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will let you turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this unit will work.

First technique, your key no longer permits your BMW 2 Series to start, you want to deactivate the immobiliser of your BMW 2 Series, but first of all you should try this approach to start it and take it to a garage examine that you can not accomplish a less important process to bring back the normal start of your automobile. In fact, with your automobile you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your BMW 2 Series), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it contains the start code. Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your automobile by entering it manually. To do this, turn on the ignition, use your centralized button to enter the digits, several quick presses (example: 2 for digit 2) then a stop of one and a half seconds to confirm the digit and resume, repeat the process until you have entered the whole code.

Manually remove your immobilizer

Although you may be attracted to bypass the immobilizer from your BMW 2 Series, this is not recommended at all for different reasons.
