How your immobiliser system works on Volkswagen T-roc
Before detailing the different solutions available to you, here is a short introduction to show you the intent and functions of the immobilizer in your Volkswagen T-roc. This electronic part was invented 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Volkswagen T-roc. In fact, 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 T-roc will go each time you put 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 moment, that it will permit you to start. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this unit will work.
