This electronic part was invented 30 years ago and intends to prevent the theft of your Toyota Iq. Actually, 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 Toyota Iq will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is actually the one expected by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will let you start. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.

Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your car by entering it manually.

Manually remove your immobilizer
