I have just acquired a neon and the key with immobiliser fob has gone
missing. Getting a key is no problem but the price of a new immobiliser is
?250. Does anyone know if you can bypass the immobiliser?

If what you are saying is a Chrysler key missing all you need to do is have
a dealer  cut you a gray key and program it using the secret code, The
dealer can do all that for you, If its the remote you are missing you don't
need that to start the engine.

If its an after market thing...... cant help you there.

No, Glenn. What he has is an export system called immobilizer which was
never sold in the states. There is no easy or cheap way to bypass the
system.
Is the only thing you are missing is the fob? If so, you can buy a new fob
and have it programmed. If I remember correctly you had to provide the
serial number on the module to get a fob.
What is it that you are trying to buy for 250 pounds? I used to teach this
system internationally but it has been 8 years since then and all my old
books on the system are in storage.

No, I've been teaching for Volvo Penta for 2 years now. I don't come to this
newsgroup too often. I'm usually too busy and newsgroups can get real ugly
at times as with the exchange between you and aarcudawhatever recently. Plus
it is sometimes amazing what people will tell other people to do their cars.
Most of it is fair to pretty good, but some suggestions are way out there.

I have to agree with you 100% on that. Speaking of telling people  what to
do to there cars, you would be amazed of the what the instructors teach us
at the training center now. I went to a suspension class 2 weeks ago and it
was a carnival there.
Hey do you ever talk to Church?

No I haven't since I left New Orleans in 10-02. I saw him in Detroit just
before I came home.
What do you mean it was a carnival?

Reading your post, noting that you?ve used ? instead of $ I?m taking
it that you?re British with an? ?R? registered Neon.
Now guessing you?ve trouble with the May & Scofield remote keyless
immobiliser system installed to UK vehicles. How am I doing so far ?

Sorry no way round the immobiliser, reason it costs £250 is that the
factory fit system & compents are no longer avaible. We have to fit a
complete new system. Unless you can find a dealer who still has a fob
instock (Part number 56009113). This can be programed in as long as you
still have a working fob

Sorry to disagree with your post regarding disconnection of a Neon
immobiliser system. It is possible to do. My local Chrysler dealership
has me out to do at least one a week
Allan - 18 Apr 2005 09:37 GMT
Incar-1,
is it possible I can put a hidden switch somewhere that will bypass the
immobiliser in the event it does fail?
I'd like to keep the immobiliser if possible, but the risk of not being
able to start the car sometime isn't worth it.

Off subject, anyone know how to remove the flasher unit from a RHD Neon?

Allan,
There’s a lil’ more to it than simply installing a simple two pole
switch to act as an emergency override ( but not impossible ). If by
any chance you’re in the north of England I may be able to help.

The combination flasher unit is located at the rear of the interior
fuse box. It can be accessed by removing the drivers knee blocker. The
panel to the right of this can also be removed in a few minutes if
further access is required.
If you’ve problems with the Neons indicators it’s more common that the
problem lays with the stalk rather than the relay.

Hope this helps
Allan Euerby - 20 Apr 2005 09:38 GMT
Thanks for the help!

I thought it wouldn't be that simple, but would be a nice 'fix' - wouldn't
have to worry about getting stuck.
I'm in Doncaster, South Yorks.
If you know how to do it - or something better - I'm all ears - if you want
to get in touch off-list, email is allan(at)euerby(dot)plus(dot)com.

I found the flasher relay, unplugged it but couldn't get it out.
Thought there might be a way to avoid removing panels, not realising this
was a 5-minute job.
There isn't a problem with the indicators, just that I will be building
some LED ones, which will need a different flasher unit - not a problem,
I've made a few.

Busy with the head gasket at the moment...

Allan.

Can any1 help, I have an R'reg 2ltr LX Auto Neon, When I purchased the car it
only came with 1 key fob.  This has since stopped working, resulting in a
dead car.  I have found a Chrysler Neon Immobiliser overide/Bypass unit on E-
may at a cost of £159.00.  Once fitted I will be able to start the engin
directly by the key (hopefully).  The only draw bak being no remote central
locking/ no central locking even by key and no immobiliser.  Has any1 tried
this product and uf so does it work?  Is there something out there I can use
which operates in the same way but keeps the central locking active?

Try www.alarmremotes.co.uk. They can supply a replacement ECU that does
away with the fob..
Allan Euerby - 02 May 2005 08:16 GMT
I don't want to get rid of the remote, just have an overide in case the RKE
fails when I'm in the middle of no-where on a dark rainy night!
Allan.
Allan E - 23 Jun 2005 10:54 GMT
Now sorted...
I can start the car without using the remote, but no-one else will be able to.
