How your immobiliser system functions on Dacia Sandero

Before describing the different choices available to you, here is a short intro to explain the intent and operation of the immobilizer in your Dacia Sandero. This electronic component appeared 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Dacia Sandero. Actually, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) included in the key, and, a immobilisation control box included in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your Dacia Sandero will go each time you place the key in the ignition, it checks 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 allow you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this unit will work.

First procedure, your key no longer allows your Dacia Sandero to start, you want to deactivate the immobiliser of your Dacia Sandero, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a garage check that you can not perform a less significant operation to reestablish the normal start of your vehicle. Actually, with your vehicle you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Dacia Sandero), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it includes the start code. Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your vehicle 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 validate the digit and resume, duplicate the operation until you have entered the whole code. This should let you start your Dacia Sandero without having to remove the immobiliser.

Fix your key at a key specialist or your car dealership

If despite a battery change, different tries to enter the immobiliser code on your Dacia Sandero still doesn’t work, it’s almost certainly your key that’s at issue. We can understand that you still want to bypass the immobiliser device from your Dacia Sandero. Actually, your transponder must have been affected or must have fallen off your key. To correct this trouble, only solution, go to a key specialist (also available on the internet) or, at your car dealership who can repair your Dacia Sandero key. Depending on who you go to the repair should cost you about 100 euros if you still have a duplicate or your “code card” and about 350 euros at your car dealership if you have no support and you want a new functional key, it will avoid you having to remove the immobilizer from your Dacia Sandero.

Manually remove your immobilizer

Although you may be tempted to bypass the immobilizer from your Dacia Sandero, this is not recommended at all for some reasons. First your Dacia Sandero would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts. Actually, without an immobiliser box, simply doing “the wires” may be enough to start it. In addition to that, your insurance, in case of theft most likely won’t refund you if it realizes that the immobiliser on your Dacia Sandero has been removed, bypassed or deactivated. This if you still want to do it, some sites still give the methodology, we have made the choice not to disclose it, because it could help people with bad intentions.
