How your immobiliser system works on Volkswagen T-Cross
Before describing the different solutions available to you, here is a short intro to demonstrate the purpose and functions of the immobilizer in your Volkswagen T-Cross. This electronic element appeared 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Volkswagen T-Cross. Indeed, 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 Volkswagen T-Cross will go each time you put the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one required by your immobilization box.

Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser
First methodology, your key no longer permits your Volkswagen T-Cross to start, you want to turn off the immobiliser of your Volkswagen T-Cross, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a garage check that you can not accomplish a less important procedure 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 T-Cross), 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 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, replicate the procedure until you have entered the whole code. This should allow your Volkswagen T-Cross to start without having to remove the immobiliser.

Manually remove your immobilizer
