Hey guys, I came up with this GENIUS BYPASS way to get into my house without a key. All I have to do is not lock the door! It took me about 3 hours to figure this out, but it's awesome.
Thanks for the info. Did not realize I had a chip and pick up in the surround. I replace my fob and battery and car would not start. . Went in the bin and got out my old keys and found the chip you spoke of. Then refitted the chip into my new fob. Works great. Thanks for the explanation. What would we do without youtube. 😊😊
Bro, YOU'RE A GENIUS!!! I was getting ready to call the mobile mechanic, when I came across your video, I tried it and it worked!!! Thank you for this video and the info. I really appreciate it!!!
I spent half the night looking for help with my transponder then i found you and your explination as to the why so last rtesort worked like a charm thanx for being simple and to the point
All I can say that on my old Vauxhall SRI Corsa, I broke the key and didn't have the money to replace /reprogramme the ECU/key. I had a normal key cut and taped the old broken key to the side of the ignition barrel under the plastic cover similar to what you did and it worked perfectly. Maybe it only works on some cars but it is easy to try. You never know your luck in a raffle. LOL.
Great idea bro, the same thing happened to my Nissan Patrol, when I bought it, the owner gave me only 1 last key with transponder on it, I bought an SBB Key programmer, but I failed since the OBD2 on the vehicle does not recognize the cable on the key programmer, so at the end, I did the same thing as you did BUT I PUT THE TRANSPONDER CHIP DIRECTLY INSIDE the steering wheel, so it's clean outside, and I bought a STEERING-WHEEL LOCK for additional safety.
Dude, you ROCK!!! Replaced my ignition on a 2000 Camry XLE (just stopped reading my key out of know where). After having to drill it out because I couldn't get the key to turn to accessory mode I was in awe that the car wouldn't turn over after finally getting the replacement ignition in. I overlooked an important aspect-the security system. Quickly became aware of the security chip but overriding that was dreadful as most of the videos on you tube showed programing etc. that were requiring more time and equipment purchases. the "KEY" (hows that for a pun) was making sure it was aligned perfectly against the Transponder Bezel (antenna). I left the Transponder Bezel and taped on chip inside the housing vs. on the ignition, you'd never know the difference, looks great and works like a charm every time. I'll probably explore placing the chips from my old keys into the new ignition keys in the future but for now, I'm running and that was the objective. So a big THANK YOU!!! I see a lot of mixed comments in this post but bottom line, your video was a major savior to me, it works and it saves some expensive costs--which is the point after all! For all the negatives out there, just keep in mind, he was very clear that this was a quick fix, obviously there are other solutions, but my perspective is, give a little credit where credit is deserved--Thanks again for taking the time to post!
Does your car have a steering wheel lock? You know how many times I had to get in someone's car and turn the wheel farther just to get the key to turn? Lol
+PriorToImpact, I know a lot of people are complaining about the vid for various reasons, but i wanted to say thanks! BF & I have a Civic & an F-250 Super Duty. Got the truck out of necessity to tow our boat. Of course, we prefer the 36/44 mpg for daily commutes rather than 12 mpg we avg w/the truck, so we both drive the Civic a lot. Unfortunately, 1 of the Civic keys got worn out. Options were share 1 key or shell out $ for a copy. We made a $2 non-chipped copy & could use it most of the time while holding the old nonworking chipped key nearby. Your vid showed me how to line it up just right w/the other key so that it works every time! Taping the chip to the ignition is a clever idea too, but I don't think we'll do that. Just carrying the non-chipped copy & worn out original together works fine in our situation, now that we line it up right.
you can also take the plastic top and bottom off of the steering column (2-4 screws) and attach the chip to the tumbler (or whatever its called) and it works the same way without the messy tape showing. Same thing he did but hidden out of sight.
thank you so much man! saved me a ton of money and time. worked on my 2002 jeep grand cherokee. this was my last resort and in so glad it worked. I realize this is not a permanent fix but until I have the money for a shop this will do. thanks a ton
This works. For me it's a tiny glass capsule. I perfectly understand how it works, however I thought that the range will be a little bit bigger, I just thought I could put the chip somewhere behind the steering column cover (I converted to button engine start). But that thing is so well made, not only does it have to be exactly on the right spot on that ring but I also tried taking the ring off, as it has a 2-pin connector & cable, I thought I will just take out the lock, put that ring somewhere hidden and that would be it, but it turns out the ring has to be on the lock and the lock actually turned to engine start position for the chip to work. I suppose it has something to do with the metal on the lock acting as a metallic core for the coil (the ring should be a coil of sorts), because the engine doesn't start with the ring hanging out, even with the capsule mounted in the correct spot on it.
You can pop off the black plastic flange (what you call the antenna is actually just a molding... the receiver is a metal ring around the tumbler assembly INSIDE the column). You can mount the chip inside the housing by removing the molding, mount the chip, and put the molding back on... you're welcome!
I bought my van used and it only came with one chipped key, however I had two regular keys made from it to get the door unlocked if/when I lock the key in the van. Works for me.
Frigin' AWESOME, Buddy! Thank you so much! I knew there would be a genius on the internet who had figured this out already! Foe me, it's my daughter who likes to lose keys and the dealership wants $200 to replace them ($50 for the key, $150 to 'program' it)! BULLSHIT!!!
No,without the transponder key the ecu won't prime the fuel pump to start the car. You can force start it by spraying starting fluid in the air filter and the car will run because once it starts the ecu engages the fuel pump .
I just hid the whole key inside my steering column. Works 100%. didn't have to take key apart. If anything goes wrong, I Can STILL Use the original key! My car isn't worth enough to worry about and car theft is extremely rare in my state anyway. People leave their cars RUNNING in the winter up north. UNLOCKED and nobody bothers them!!
I don't see how you can hid a whole key including the top of the fob with the RFI chip inside the steering column and also how that would not be entirely obvious to someone looking through the window.
@@HEALInformatics If it's inside the steering column it's not visible without disassembling the steering column. It's like flu protection by relying on everyone else taking the shot so you're less likely to encounter it. Crooks will assume it has the transponder and won't bother with the old school slide hammer ignition bypass, even though it'd work on your car now.
@@HEALInformatics It would take disassembly to put it inside and make it totally invisible. The actual transponder chips are actually pretty small, it would be easier remove it from the key and locate it closely enough as shown, so it could respond when queried by the system. Black silicone to encapsulate it would probably be enough to hide it.
Did kinda as you said to do on my '07 Sierra 1500 but did one better. I just glued the whole key into the steering column underneath the plastic cover. You'd never know it's there. Works like a charm! Simple. Genius!!
Thanks dude it worked I was able to tape the chip to the outside of key ring so its on there tight because my key ring protrudes more you better stick that chip on there good dont want to loose that TA TA
Neat trick that actually might help my remote starter issue on my Subaru..I recently purchased a used Subaru that had a remote starter installed but I didn't have the remote..I ordered a new remote and it would turn the car on but it wouldn't start..well I checked all the wiring out and it looked good..after a couple hours of internet research I discovered that Subarus require an "immobilizer Bypass system with extra key" installed with any aftermarket remote starter system which is nothing more than a little black box containing a key that has the immobilizer antenna built into it..well of course my car doesn't have that black box installed but I do have a spare key..so then I find out when a key is in the ignition I can remote start the car..boom I have an immobilzer issue..now either I keep a key in my ignition all winter..(I live in the boonies so not really a problem ..but then again I work in the city so nope) I can buy the bypass kit somewhere..or maybe I'll try this out...
People are funny. A guy comes up with a great way to fool the car security system and he calls it a bypass and he gets slagged for it. Thanks for the video. Just repaired my Honda ignition switch thanks to another youtuber and saved $1350 Canadian. I will keep this hack in my back pocket for sure.
I just carry both keys and hold both of em in my hand when I turn the new one and that also works fine. (Didn’t want to take the chip out of my original key because I still need the key to lock and unlock the car)
This works but just make a cheap key 🔑 and tape the chipped key under the key hole and it works with out you seeing anything. Just remove the plastic on the steering column. Very easy
Tried something similar to this and it worked on 2005 Nissan Xterra. I did not want to remove the chip from my key in case it wasn’t my chip..so I inserted the copy with NO chip inside- while placing my whole key (with chip) on the outer part to see where it would best read - which ended up being on the left lower part.
Great info, thx! If your key is inserted upside down, although it may fit, the car will not start. The remote key from my 2004 Volvo S60 fell apart and after replacing it with a new top part, the engine turns over, but will not start. The chip is visible but stuck in the broken part. I'll try to put the original pieces back together and see what happens.
do not misunderstand, i completely enjoy the creativity and aspects of working the puzzle here...but now having gained some understanding of the workings I will choose to maintain the security features as designed..and bypass dealerships instead,...MOST Wal-Mart's now have replacement programmable chiped keys for about $35.00 out the door..my GM car works just fine with one..
I do this same thing, except my chip is mobile. It is in a little portable case. I hold the case in the proper position, right by my key. I turn the key, and the car starts. When I have started the car, I stow the chip in the case into a safe, secure hiding place. The anti-theft effect is preserved.
. Bought 02 PT new that had only two 'chipped' keys that came with it. Additional keys at the time were $80... Ef that! Removed bottom steering column cover and after ensuring it was possible to attach ONE of the chipped keys to the lock mechanism close nuff to ensure it kept the securtiy mode always 'activated' such that ANY properly ground regular key would engage and turn the lock and ignition switch I was able to have as many extra keys as I wanted for the regular price of ~$1.50. In this case was able to attach the chipped key securely with a couple zip ties. This accomplishes a couple things other than as many cheap keys as one wants. First you can hide a key as is customary for when ya lock um in by mistake or forget where ya put it last or jes plain lost it w/o a chance ah losing a $80 key [ yeah I know they's gotten way cheaper, but that's what they was ]. Second, a non-chipped key will open the door locks, at least until they started with all the latest greatest 'who the hey wants um' fancy smancy keys what ya ain't got to even take outta ya pocket, which is one good reason why this po ol boy ain't likely ta be buying no new cars anytime soon as they's gone jes a tad TOO FAR with all this Bravo Sierra crapola what causes wayyyy more trouble than it's worth. And if for some reason the 'fixed' key gets displaced since the proximity is REAL close, and you got to re-adjust it, or for whatever reason got to have it, say it's the only one ya got available, all ya need if ya got access to the inside is a Phillips screwdriver and bingo, ya got the original chipped key back in hand. That was over 13 years ago and so far ain't never had to fool with it. Wife keeps up with the second chipped key since she NEVER loses anything, and we got a handful of $1.50 regular keys for daily use, spares, etc. Obviously it's a good idea to do this before ya get down to jes one chipped key, but if ya find yer self in that position it'll still work... and save all the expense and hassle of getting a 'new' working chipped one. Jes a suggestion... IMSA RS 69 'ol corp rac'r Rac'n Class of '69 Car No. 69
Excellent Video,.... Your definitely the man! Saving us all hundreds of dollars my brother 👑🔧😎🍻 I had an additional idea once you have a proven "Working location" taped to the right spot, coat it with a black rubber paint! This way it will never fall off😎🔧🍻 Cheers to all.
Good job. If you decide to re-do the video, show the taking out of the chip as well as tell what type tape you used to secure it. In addition, Also as you try finding the exact position for the newly secured chip on the key well, you should try cranking the vehicle in the different positions until it starts, especially since all positions on the well won't work. But this is very good information that could save a lot of money. Goodbye dealership prices.
Starts off by saying he doesn’t use this method. Shows you a key copied from Home Depot. Obviously doesn’t know much about keys or he would never have gotten it copied there since their machines are absolute garbage. Then says if you put that key in, it doesn’t turn on. Wrong info again. The car will turn on, it just won’t start.
Wow this dude has no ideas what he’s talking about . That antenna runs completely around the ignition cylinder. It’s not at the top or the bottom, it’s not picking up the chip because they’re directional.
Smart Key Locksmith , Not exactly sure what your trying to say. The car will turn on...but it won't start? Either way, my Town & Country van will start with a copy key, but will then shut back off 5 seconds later.
Dude you're a lifesaver thank you so much I almost paid a locksmith jackass $200 to come out here and rip me off then I said to myself let me try RUclips and came across you and you just save the day thank you
The only problem doing that with my 2016 tacoma is the doors wont lock. It has a safety feature that prevent owners from leaving their keys / chip in the ignition.
Those RFI's do break so the down side is you might break it while taking it out. If you are at least parked near the dealer or a capable locksmith and that happens and your have unprogrammed spare key/fobs then you can have it towed or pushed in and pay to have them program the ones that still have the RFI chips. I ordered two spares for my car and while I find this trick interesting I will probably go ahead and pay to have them programmed, or order the VCDS cable and program them myself.
Transponder keys are very very cheap now on eBay. And they do work cuz I have purchased quite a few of them. If you go to the dealership there are Fortune $100 or over. So just buy them on eBay less than $10 a piece sometimes $5. Sometimes you can get two of them for $12. And then get the key cut at any locksmith or hardware. One guy charged me a dollar for each to cut at a hardware so it's $2 for two keys to cut. So they're very cheap anymore you don't need to take your chip out and glue it on the side of your ignition
lock smiths and dealers will tell you dont do this ! but I have saved a tonne of money doing this . on older cars , a real expensive car may be another story .
You could simply glue the whole key inside the plastic housing. That chip is just an RFID chip. Chip side of the key just has to be close to the sensor. Plastic steering wheel housing (most of them) comes of pretty easy.
Thank for the information, what I hate is when someone does a help video some smart A@%$ have to add their unhelpful advice you posted this a few years back and I just came across it to today thank.
The best way to do it is just remove the covers around the steering wheel and tape it directly to the transponder antena. It's hidden and it always works
You actually have NOT bypass anything!!! You still had to use the vehicle's transponder chip!!! Bypass means you by pass the transponder chip by any other means, not still using the vehicle's own transponder chip!!!
yep usless information a blond can figgure out, doesnt help me when the transponder security light keeps flashing and noone can prgram it and its not worth paying audi 175 bucks and hr for there inexperianced country bunkin workers to repalce everything worth 20 times the value of the car
You can by pass the chip it self by using resistors and a ohm meter but has to be digital meter I done it be for and you never have to worry about a chip again
WARNING: This is only a temporary fix ...as you may lose your car to a car thief that has seen that you have done this, then you may end up needing to replace your whole car rather than just a key! To anyone watching and reading this, remove the plastic cowling and stick the transponder chip on the ignition barrel where it can not be seen through the window. That way the car will work for you and although it will still be an easy car to steal, you are not advertising the fact. hope this helps, thanks.
do not misunderstand, i completely enjoy the creativity and aspects of working the puzzle here...but now having gained some understanding of the workings I will choose to maintain the security features as designed..and bypass dealerships instead,...MOST. wallyworld stores now have replacement programmable chiped keys for about $35.00 out the door..my gm car works just fine with one..
You can also place the key with the chip in the exact location if you have both sets of factory keys and a blank key[ no chip ] and trick the vehicle into thinking the blank key is the correct key but inserting blank key in turn on holding factory key in the location and turn off repeat with key 2 no more chip
2000's toyota's are easy to program. Buy a chipped spare for $20 on Amazon, have it cut, program it yourself. You don't even need a scanner or programmer. Just the original key which came with the car.
hey my cars old and not worth stealing and neither is his. what kind of tape did you use to hold the chip to the ignition and would it hold up in below freezing temperatures. we tried electric tape and gorilla tape and both came off from the low temperatures at night.
I found the workaround for a 2008 Nissan Versa. The stupid transponder is a "feature" I can do without, and being robbed by Nissan dealers is something I can do without. There is a plastic "antenna ring" surrounding the ignition key slot. It is a module located above the lock tumbler and surrounding the entry. It forces you to have a chip/key in exactly the right place. Remove the shell around the steering column, and find one screw holding this antenna ring module in place. The screw can be accessed using a socket from above. Mount the key in the ring using cardboard and glue, as if it were in the tumbler, then relocate it somewhere under the ignition lock. So my chip key stays with the ring and I can use a unchipped key in the ignition lock. Seems to work.
This does work but voids the warranty on the car and if the car gets stolen, the insurance company will not pay for the car because you compromised the theft system.
voids the car warranty .. hmm is that written in whose warranty ? I think that would be a lawsuit as the transponder is used when the vehicle is running. On the theft .. sure could be an issue for the insurance company, however peoples cars have been stolen because the doors were not locked again a lawsuit would probably handle that.
If mount the chip near the ignition switch that is an opening target for thieves to take your car & cant you mount the Chip inside the plastic cover near the ignition switch & that way no one will ever notice it & will keep thieves away from your vehicle Kind Regards Peter
I liked this video. That bit about his wife losing the keys made me smile... guilty!!!! and yes I bemoan the days of the easy car start. The keys nowadays and systems which are supposed to be safe are not safe and they are just designed to make money. sigh.
Be aware that some cars (an 04 Mazda in my case) will detect that the key transponder is not being removed every time the car is shut off. Then after a few trips it will disable the engine for a time-out period.
i have taped the whole key on inside the steering column with the same results, after an attempted car theft that destroyed the ignition but the transponder still lit up the car as long as the original key was close to the ignition it could be started with a screwdriver...
@@Truezy Plastic WHAT?????? It is NOT self Exp. I see a lot of plastic dodads under there. This is supposed to help a novice!!!!! So don't waste anybodys time thinking they are as smart as you!
If you have only one chipped key, make cheap copies to operate door. Then attach your chipped key on a retractable cable and mount under the dashboard. The original key always remains hidden in vehicle and used to start in ignition lock cylinder ! You can have several cheap extra keys for entry.
YEAH TRUE... as long as you can get something in the to turn the barrel, the engine would start.. that includes a flat screwdriver..... maybe worth investing $150 to $200.
I bought a used truck and the plastic on the spare key was partially broke off and it had an ugly lump of tape on it. One day I decided to remove that ugly lump and just toss it. The other day I grabbed the spare instead of the usual key. Guess what, it wouldn't start the truck. I had unwittingly tossed the chip that was in that lump. Now I'm going to have spend big bucks to have a working spare made. In my defense my last truck was a 98 so I am not used to modern inventions.
Do your vehicles still work after all these years? I am interested in the long-term possibility. Did you end up putting the chip behind the key switch?
chatter smith i tink that the men who did the video is trying to use the chip for more than one key ,so the best choice its to just tape it directly to the antenna ring ,otherwise you would have to be removing the chip and switch it. from one key to the other evry time you may want to use like more than one key...like if you want to start your car with one and unlock with the other ,also it would still be able to start the car with any duplicated key made for that car as long as you got the chip attached to the antenna ring.
I'm actually so excited this might actually work . Question ... My barrol is from a diffrent Berlingo same year tho not sure about the modle . It's the whole lot with the wires it's just the key will of course turns it just does not bring up the dash lights are starts up . So taking out the chip and taping it like yours im hoping will work . However the chip is registered to the antenna so why does it have to be out of the key I'm so confused
When my key battery is dead, it won't disable the immobilizer. So is there a connection between the battery in the key and being able to disable the immobilizer?
I would personally prefer putting the chip inside one of those "bypass modules" made for remote start systems than taping the chip on. Or at least tape it behind the plastic cover. they cost only $10. And I have done this before too. However on Chrysler cars I know another trick to disable SKIM from the PCM.
I threw my one transponder key into my ashtray, and use the chipless keys. I figure as long as nobody lights up and uses the ashtray, we're driving happy.

Don’t forget that your insurance is invalid if your car ever gets stolen

If it's inside the steering column it's not visible without disassembling the steering column. It's like flu protection by relying on everyone else taking the shot so you're less likely to encounter it. Crooks will assume it has the transponder and won't bother with the old school slide hammer ignition bypass, even though it'd work on your car now.
@@hwingerrr5680 I don't understand how to put it inside without tearing the column apart and maybe messing it up.
@@HEALInformatics It would take disassembly to put it inside and make it totally invisible. The actual transponder chips are actually pretty small, it would be easier remove it from the key and locate it closely enough as shown, so it could respond when queried by the system. Black silicone to encapsulate it would probably be enough to hide it.
Did kinda as you said to do on my '07 Sierra 1500 but did one better. I just glued the whole key into the steering column underneath the plastic cover. You'd never know it's there. Works like a charm! Simple. Genius!!
My key broke today. In a tight corner now so this quick fix will def help tks.
Thanks dude it worked I was able to tape the chip to the outside of key ring so its on there tight because my key ring protrudes more you better stick that chip on there good dont want to loose that TA TA
Neat trick that actually might help my remote starter issue on my Subaru..I recently purchased a used Subaru that had a remote starter installed but I didn't have the remote..I ordered a new remote and it would turn the car on but it wouldn't start..well I checked all the wiring out and it looked good..after a couple hours of internet research I discovered that Subarus require an "immobilizer Bypass system with extra key" installed with any aftermarket remote starter system which is nothing more than a little black box containing a key that has the immobilizer antenna built into it..well of course my car doesn't have that black box installed but I do have a spare key..so then I find out when a key is in the ignition I can remote start the car..boom I have an immobilzer issue..now either I keep a key in my ignition all winter..(I live in the boonies so not really a problem ..but then again I work in the city so nope) I can buy the bypass kit somewhere..or maybe I'll try this out...
People are funny. A guy comes up with a great way to fool the car security system and he calls it a bypass and he gets slagged for it. Thanks for the video. Just repaired my Honda ignition switch thanks to another youtuber and saved $1350 Canadian. I will keep this hack in my back pocket for sure.
I just carry both keys and hold both of em in my hand when I turn the new one and that also works fine. (Didn’t want to take the chip out of my original key because I still need the key to lock and unlock the car)
This works but just make a cheap key 🔑 and tape the chipped key under the key hole and it works with out you seeing anything. Just remove the plastic on the steering column. Very easy
Yep. That is what I am doing.
Tried something similar to this and it worked on 2005 Nissan Xterra. I did not want to remove the chip from my key in case it wasn’t my chip..so I inserted the copy with NO chip inside- while placing my whole key (with chip) on the outer part to see where it would best read - which ended up being on the left lower part.
Great info, thx! If your key is inserted upside down, although it may fit, the car will not start. The remote key from my 2004 Volvo S60 fell apart and after replacing it with a new top part, the engine turns over, but will not start. The chip is visible but stuck in the broken part. I'll try to put the original pieces back together and see what happens.
do not misunderstand, i completely enjoy the creativity and aspects of working the puzzle here...but now having gained some understanding of the workings I will choose to maintain the security features as designed..and bypass dealerships instead,...MOST Wal-Mart's now have replacement programmable chiped keys for about $35.00 out the door..my GM car works just fine with one..
I do this same thing, except my chip is mobile. It is in a little portable case. I hold the case in the proper position, right by my key. I turn the key, and the car starts. When I have started the car, I stow the chip in the case into a safe, secure hiding place. The anti-theft effect is preserved.
.
Bought 02 PT new that had only two 'chipped' keys that came with it. Additional keys at the time were $80... Ef that!
Removed bottom steering column cover and after ensuring it was possible to attach ONE of the chipped keys to the lock mechanism close nuff to ensure it kept the securtiy mode always 'activated' such that ANY properly ground regular key would engage and turn the lock and ignition switch I was able to have as many extra keys as I wanted for the regular price of ~$1.50. In this case was able to attach the chipped key securely with a couple zip ties.
This accomplishes a couple things other than as many cheap keys as one wants. First you can hide a key as is customary for when ya lock um in by mistake or forget where ya put it last or jes plain lost it w/o a chance ah losing a $80 key [ yeah I know they's gotten way cheaper, but that's what they was ]. Second, a non-chipped key will open the door locks, at least until they started with all the latest greatest 'who the hey wants um' fancy smancy keys what ya ain't got to even take outta ya pocket, which is one good reason why this po ol boy ain't likely ta be buying no new cars anytime soon as they's gone jes a tad TOO FAR with all this Bravo Sierra crapola what causes wayyyy more trouble than it's worth. And if for some reason the 'fixed' key gets displaced since the proximity is REAL close, and you got to re-adjust it, or for whatever reason got to have it, say it's the only one ya got available, all ya need if ya got access to the inside is a Phillips screwdriver and bingo, ya got the original chipped key back in hand.
That was over 13 years ago and so far ain't never had to fool with it. Wife keeps up with the second chipped key since she NEVER loses anything, and we got a handful of $1.50 regular keys for daily use, spares, etc.
Obviously it's a good idea to do this before ya get down to jes one chipped key, but if ya find yer self in that position it'll still work... and save all the expense and hassle of getting a 'new' working chipped one.
Jes a suggestion...

So what do I do and what key am I tapping inside stearing column?
yes. it works. but how about doors? it will not lock because car recognizes the key is left in the car. appreciate your explanation
Excellent Video,.... Your definitely the man! Saving us all hundreds of dollars my brother 👑🔧😎🍻
I had an additional idea once you have a proven "Working location" taped to the right spot, coat it with a black rubber paint! This way it will never fall off😎🔧🍻
Cheers to all.
Without you auto thieves would have nothing to do. Good work.
Good job. If you decide to re-do the video, show the taking out of the chip as well as tell what type tape you used to secure it. In addition, Also as you try finding the exact position for the newly secured chip on the key well, you should try cranking the vehicle in the different positions until it starts, especially since all positions on the well won't work. But this is very good information that could save a lot of money. Goodbye dealership prices.
Starts off by saying he doesn’t use this method. Shows you a key copied from Home Depot. Obviously doesn’t know much about keys or he would never have gotten it copied there since their machines are absolute garbage. Then says if you put that key in, it doesn’t turn on. Wrong info again. The car will turn on, it just won’t start.
Wow this dude has no ideas what he’s talking about . That antenna runs completely around the ignition cylinder. It’s not at the top or the bottom, it’s not picking up the chip because they’re directional.
Smart Key Locksmith , Not exactly sure what your trying to say. The car will turn on...but it won't start?
Either way, my Town & Country van will start with a copy key, but will then shut back off 5 seconds later.

I just put my chip key behind the ignition switch. By removing the plastic. Been working for the last 2 years. Needed to do it for my auto start.
Dude you're a lifesaver thank you so much I almost paid a locksmith jackass $200 to come out here and rip me off then I said to myself let me try RUclips and came across you and you just save the day thank you
And you think this is bypassing? Bypassing would be if you can start the car without the chip.

That is the exact same thing I was fixing to type that's not bypassing. Just as you said think goodness.

Thanks. I tried it on my lexus es330 while placing the working key on top or underneath. It worked
The only problem doing that with my 2016 tacoma is the doors wont lock. It has a safety feature that prevent owners from leaving their keys / chip in the ignition.
Good point. Never thought of that was gonna do this on my jeep
Those RFI's do break so the down side is you might break it while taking it out. If you are at least parked near the dealer or a capable locksmith and that happens and your have unprogrammed spare key/fobs then you can have it towed or pushed in and pay to have them program the ones that still have the RFI chips. I ordered two spares for my car and while I find this trick interesting I will probably go ahead and pay to have them programmed, or order the VCDS cable and program them myself.
Transponder keys are very very cheap now on eBay. And they do work cuz I have purchased quite a few of them. If you go to the dealership there are Fortune $100 or over. So just buy them on eBay less than $10 a piece sometimes $5. Sometimes you can get two of them for $12. And then get the key cut at any locksmith or hardware. One guy charged me a dollar for each to cut at a hardware so it's $2 for two keys to cut. So they're very cheap anymore you don't need to take your chip out and glue it on the side of your ignition
lock smiths and dealers will tell you dont do this ! but I have saved a tonne of money doing this . on older cars , a real expensive car may be another story .
bill tait yea because we know how easy this technique makes it easy for a thief to take your car !! He will be amazed it starts..
The wife comment, we have all been there, hi and thank-you from Yukon, Canada...
You could simply glue the whole key inside the plastic housing. That chip is just an RFID chip.
Chip side of the key just has to be close to the sensor.
Plastic steering wheel housing (most of them) comes of pretty easy.
You might as well just leave the key in the ignition full time that way you don't destroy your key. LOL
This does work. I did something like this today with my Toyota.
Is that key for
From this car
Thank for the information, what I hate is when someone does a help video some smart A@%$ have to add their unhelpful advice you posted this a few years back and I just came across it to today thank.
The best way to do it is just remove the covers around the steering wheel and tape it directly to the transponder antena. It's hidden and it always works
Dope

You actually have NOT bypass anything!!! You still had to use the vehicle's transponder chip!!! Bypass means you by pass the transponder chip by any other means, not still using the vehicle's own transponder chip!!!
+EndofUSA do girls fart?
yep usless information a blond can figgure out, doesnt help me when the transponder security light keeps flashing and noone can prgram it and its not worth paying audi 175 bucks and hr for there inexperianced country bunkin workers to repalce everything worth 20 times the value of the car
how to reset a 2006 lexus truck alarm
EndofUSA That's the genius. I did something similar to my misbihaving 1997 BMW 740il
Hes a dumbass
You can by pass the chip it self by using resistors and a ohm meter but has to be digital meter I done it be for and you never have to worry about a chip again
WARNING: This is only a temporary fix ...as you may lose your car to a car thief that has seen that you have done this, then you may end up needing to replace your whole car rather than just a key!
To anyone watching and reading this, remove the plastic cowling and stick the transponder chip on the ignition barrel where it can not be seen through the window. That way the car will work for you and although it will still be an easy car to steal, you are not advertising the fact. hope this helps, thanks.
Are u using toyota key in your mazda car?
do not misunderstand, i completely enjoy the creativity and aspects of working the puzzle here...but now having gained some understanding of the workings I will choose to maintain the security features as designed..and bypass dealerships instead,...MOST. wallyworld stores now have replacement programmable chiped keys for about $35.00 out the door..my gm car works just fine with one..
You can also place the key with the chip in the exact location if you have both sets of factory keys and a blank key[ no chip ] and trick the vehicle into thinking the blank key is the correct key but inserting blank key in turn on holding factory key in the location and turn off repeat with key 2 no more chip
2000's toyota's are easy to program. Buy a chipped spare for $20 on Amazon, have it cut, program it yourself. You don't even need a scanner or programmer. Just the original key which came with the car.
hey my cars old and not worth stealing and neither is his. what kind of tape did you use to hold the chip to the ignition and would it hold up in below freezing temperatures. we tried electric tape and gorilla tape and both came off from the low temperatures at night.
I found the workaround for a 2008 Nissan Versa. The stupid transponder is a "feature" I can do without, and being robbed by Nissan dealers is something I can do without. There is a plastic "antenna ring" surrounding the ignition key slot. It is a module located above the lock tumbler and surrounding the entry. It forces you to have a chip/key in exactly the right place. Remove the shell around the steering column, and find one screw holding this antenna ring module in place. The screw can be accessed using a socket from above. Mount the key in the ring using cardboard and glue, as if it were in the tumbler, then relocate it somewhere under the ignition lock. So my chip key stays with the ring and I can use a unchipped key in the ignition lock. Seems to work.
Great information ℹ️
“Not naming names: wife” hahahahaha
Makes a lot of sense.
Great video man! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks.... worked for my Volkswagen other than tape just held it an crank an stayed running good enough till I get a new fob an key cut
You lost me at "tuck tape"
This does work but voids the warranty on the car and if the car gets stolen, the insurance company will not pay for the car because you compromised the theft system.
voids the car warranty .. hmm is that written in whose warranty ? I think that would be a lawsuit as the transponder is used when the vehicle is running.
On the theft .. sure could be an issue for the insurance company, however peoples cars have been stolen because the doors were not locked again a lawsuit would probably handle that.
@@stix562 The transponder chip is only needed to start the car. Not needed when running.
If mount the chip near the ignition switch that is an opening target for thieves to take your car & cant you mount the Chip inside the plastic cover near the ignition switch & that way no one will ever notice it & will keep thieves away from your vehicle Kind Regards Peter
I liked this video. That bit about his wife losing the keys made me smile... guilty!!!! and yes I bemoan the days of the easy car start. The keys nowadays and systems which are supposed to be safe are not safe and they are just designed to make money. sigh.

Be aware that some cars (an 04 Mazda in my case) will detect that the key transponder is not being removed every time the car is shut off.
Then after a few trips it will disable the engine for a time-out period.
Was trying to figure this out last week on my toyota tacoma thanks.
i have taped the whole key on inside the steering column with the same results, after an attempted car theft that destroyed the ignition but the transponder still lit up the car as long as the original key was close to the ignition it could be started with a screwdriver...
Hi, I had same problem and *Cyber_kor* on Instagram helped rectify mine. He is a great champ!. He is also on WhatsApp + 1 347 830 3644
Yes, is work i do the same just install inside and nobody knows is there
Use a DEI 556. you can install it in-dash and you don't have dig the chip out or mess with placement to get it perfect.
just hot glue your key behind the column in the location. works every time.
Got a video on how to????
@@nicknoneya2604 just hot glue the chip on the inside of the plastic self explanatory

Great vid,well presented and straight to the point,(no b.s) very informative, thank you.
If you have only one chipped key, make cheap copies to operate door.
Then attach your chipped key on a retractable cable and mount under the dashboard. The original key always remains hidden in vehicle and used to start in ignition lock cylinder ! You can have several cheap extra keys for entry.
got second coil cheap, put chip on it under dash hidden, the old coil stay near key and looks stock
Same.
YEAH TRUE... as long as you can get something in the to turn the barrel, the engine would start.. that includes a flat screwdriver..... maybe worth investing $150 to $200.
Will it drain your battery because the car thinks the key is in the ignition?
I bought a used truck and the plastic on the spare key was partially broke off and it had an ugly lump of tape on it. One day I decided to remove that ugly lump and just toss it. The other day I grabbed the spare instead of the usual key. Guess what, it wouldn't start the truck. I had unwittingly tossed the chip that was in that lump. Now I'm going to have spend big bucks to have a working spare made. In my defense my last truck was a 98 so I am not used to modern inventions.
Wow I have to go check this out right , but , a big hoorar to you
Thanks bro. It worked to a treat
Do your vehicles still work after all these years? I am interested in the long-term possibility. Did you end up putting the chip behind the key switch?
chatter smith i tink that the men who did the video is trying to use the chip for more than one key ,so the best choice its to just tape it directly to the antenna ring ,otherwise you would have to be removing the chip and switch it. from one key to the other evry time you may want to use like more than one key...like if you want to start your car with one and unlock with the other ,also it would still be able to start the car with any duplicated key made for that car as long as you got the chip attached to the antenna ring.
Thank you so much, Mr. Smart Guy!! :D
That's a nice looking chronic nugg you have there lol!!
I'm actually so excited this might actually work . Question ... My barrol is from a diffrent Berlingo same year tho not sure about the modle . It's the whole lot with the wires it's just the key will of course turns it just does not bring up the dash lights are starts up . So taking out the chip and taping it like yours im hoping will work . However the chip is registered to the antenna so why does it have to be out of the key I'm so confused
or just glue the chip to the dry key. also you must adjust for temp. chip signal is directly proportional to temp.
What do you mean?
When my key battery is dead, it won't disable the immobilizer. So is there a connection between the battery in the key and being able to disable the immobilizer?
This is good for when you have multiple drivers of the one car (when your kids are learning to drive and have earned their own key).
You are a genius.
On certain cars, the transponder chip may be anywhere within 1-1/2 to 2 inches of the "immobilizer ring".
I would personally prefer putting the chip inside one of those "bypass modules" made for remote start systems than taping the chip on. Or at least tape it behind the plastic cover. they cost only $10. And I have done this before too. However on Chrysler cars I know another trick to disable SKIM from the PCM.
I threw my one transponder key into my ashtray, and use the chipless keys. I figure as long as nobody lights up and uses the ashtray, we're driving happy.
Uhmm what kind of car do you drive?! Didn’t know any car that are newer with a chip key that has an actual ashtray in the car? Lol
@@Lovenpain my 2009 infiniti g37 has a chip key and an ashtray.
