How your immobiliser system works on Honda Odyssey

Before explaining the different solutions available to you, here is a short introduction to show you the intent and operation of the immobilizer in your Honda Odyssey. This electronic component came out 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Honda Odyssey. 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 Honda Odyssey will go each time you place the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one required by your immobilization box. It is only at this moment, that it will permit you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this device will work.

The different alternatives to bypass the immobiliser on your Honda Odyssey

Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser

First process, your key no longer enables your Honda Odyssey to start, you want to disable the immobiliser of your Honda Odyssey, but first of all you should try this approach to start it and take it to a mechanic check that you can not do a less important operation to reestablish the normal start of your car. Actually, with your car you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Honda Odyssey), 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 car 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, repeat the operation until you have entered the whole code. This should let you start your Honda Odyssey without having to remove the immobiliser.

Repair your key at a key specialist or your dealer

If even though a battery swap, different attempts to enter the immobiliser code on your Honda Odyssey still doesn’t want to start, it’s probably your key that’s at issue. We can understand that you still want to bypass the immobiliser device from your Honda Odyssey. Actually, your transponder must have been damaged or must have fallen off your key. To correct this trouble, only option, go to a key specialist (also available on the internet) or, at your car dealership who can restore your Honda Odyssey key. Based on who you go to the repair should cost you about 100 euros if you still have a copy 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 Honda Odyssey.

Manually remove your immobilizer

Although you may be attracted to bypass the immobilizer from your Honda Odyssey, this is not advised at all for many reasons. First your Honda Odyssey would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts. Actually, without an immobiliser box, simply doing “the wires” may be enough to start it. Furthermore to that, your insurance, in case of theft most likely won’t refund you if it finds out that the immobiliser on your Honda Odyssey 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 benefit people with bad intentions.
