Tricky-Ricky Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looking for help with the wifes old Seat Ibiza 1.9 diesel, 1998, lost the bloody key yesterday, just found that a replacement key and lock barrel, and key reprogram is going to cost in the region of £250 car is only worth about £500, so i want to find and bypass/eliminate the immobilizer, as i have a spare key without the transponder, just need some tips on where its situated, i will just stick in a cheap alarm or crook-lock, please PM me if you can help, as its not the sort of thing to post on a public forum.

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 the transponder is a ring situated around the barrel if i remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Cheers! I'll take a look, i have been forbidden to just steam in and rip the dash out to find the dam thing, going to have to jack it up, and take the wheel off tonight, just in case some local scum have picked up the keys.

Don't you have the key number anywhere, if you take the number and proof of ownership of the car to a seat dealer they can just cut you a key can't they?

Tricky-Ricky Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't seem to have a key number, but I do have a spare without a transponder, however i suspect that it will be difficult to reprogram the key from the receiver, and expensive. I have now found the receiver ring (just where you said it would be mitchell9006, thanks!) and have traced the wiring through to the box which seems quite simple, i suspect it has an electronic relay, as there are only five wires that emerge from the box, i just need to know which i need to join together to start, but i don't want to blow fuse or melt any wiring by experimenting, will get a meter on it and see if that reviles anything.
