How your immobiliser system works on Infiniti M
Before explaining the different choices available to you, here is a short intro to describe the goal and functions of the immobilizer in your Infiniti M. This electronic element appeared 30 years ago and intends to prevent the theft of your Infiniti M. Indeed, 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 Infiniti M will go each time you insert the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is actually the one asked by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will allow you to start. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this device will work.
The different alternatives to bypass the immobiliser on your Infiniti M
Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser
First process, your key no longer allows your Infiniti M to start, you want to deactivate the immobiliser of your Infiniti M, 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 procedure to bring back the normal start of your car. Indeed, with your car you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Infiniti M), 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 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 confirm the digit and resume, duplicate the procedure until you have entered the whole code. This should let you start your Infiniti M without having to remove the immobiliser.

Manually remove your immobilizer
Although you may be thinking to bypass the immobilizer from your Infiniti M, this is not advised at all for different reasons. First your Infiniti M would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts.
