How your immobiliser system works on Land Rover Discovery

Before detailing the different solutions available to you, here is a short intro to describe the role and operation of the immobilizer in your Land Rover Discovery. This electronic part appeared 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Land Rover Discovery. 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 Land Rover Discovery will go each time you place the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is in fact the one expected by your immobilization box. It is only at this moment, that it will allow you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.
