Is it possible to fit key and immobilizer chip to that fob, so you don't have to carry around fob and key separate?

Above kit I can recommend ! There is a DIY fit guide on here ,

Comes with key blanks so you get them cut to suit your key and then put your iMob chip in it (has a place ) and away you go !


Any help give us a shout , when I got mine to save chopping the loom I got their plug and play kit and just plugged straight in to the pump in the boot

Would I be able to wire my boot pop into the plug and play they provide?

..... Has anyone actually succesfully put their key and immobilizer in?

you get the new blank supplied with the kit cut to match YOUR key , and swap the chip from YOUR old key over in to the new one ,

has any one tried it ? , yep ive done my keys , and if you look in the DIY section there is a step by step guide showing the whole process

boot popper i think you can wire up no problem has a button on the fob and spare wires on the control unit , for window closure you need a couple of relays ,

before you ask anymore questions read this

Thanks, read it.

Is there a solenoid in the boot already, or will it need to be installed separately ?
Also you speak of relays regarding window closure.. Couldn't find anything about it - isn't it just a matter of wiring up the wires from the key fob control unit to the correct wires to the windows?

No I have a boot pop wired up to a button and installed a solenoid myself and the I didn't think the windows would need relays as the total closure is already present (turn key to lock while in the door for an extended time and windows will shut)

Do a search, there is a how to on here showing how to wire up the relays. Its very easy and doesnt take long, but you do need a relay in order for the total closure to work.

Get the plug and play loom the company sell for about £16 and it just plugs in the pump no cuting wires its a 15 second instal that way !

Only have to swap the lock / unlock wires over as the loom is wired wrong

Strange that you say that as I bought the plug and play wiring and didnt need to swap anything?

dont know why you would need a plug and play loom, its all pretty straight forward, i got all my instructions on tigerstyle i think, just get some of them cable snap lock things and wire it all into the central locking pump
