How your immobiliser system functions on Volkswagen Eos
Before detailing the different solutions available to you, here is a short intro to show you the purpose and functions of the immobilizer in your Volkswagen Eos. This electronic component was invented 30 years ago and intends to prevent the theft of your Volkswagen Eos. 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 Volkswagen Eos will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is indeed 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 device will work.
The different possibilities to bypass the immobiliser on your Volkswagen Eos
Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser
First technique, your key no longer allows your Volkswagen Eos to start, you want to disable the immobiliser of your Volkswagen Eos, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a mechanic check that you can not execute a less important operation to reestablish the normal start of your vehicle. Indeed, with your vehicle you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Volkswagen Eos), 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, repeat the operation until you have entered the full code. This should let you start your Volkswagen Eos without having to remove the immobiliser.
Repair your key at a key specialist or your car dealership

Manually remove your immobilizer
Although you may be thinking to bypass the immobilizer from your Volkswagen Eos, this is not advised at all for different reasons. First your Volkswagen Eos would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts. Indeed, without an immobiliser box, simply doing “the wires” may be enough to turn your car on.
