okay so i lost(misplaced) my keys and now i can't open my car. that part is not to problem, it's that i have a alarm system (autowatch) which comes with the immobizer and button thing. currently my alarm is off but i can't drive it without immobizering it first.

So what do i need to do to get my car back on the road again HELP!!

when you got your alarm keypads there was a little plastic thing with a white sticker on it with numbers, thats what you use to demobilize it.

mines 7**75 so for instance so u gotta let it flash for 7 times then turn the ignition then turn it off again and say if your next numbers 0 u have to let it flash 10 times then turn the ignition

Had a problem with mine once so i dissconnected it from its power source theres a red and white, or black and white connection you can take out to turn it off from the immobolizer, where ever the red flash is located in your car a little black box should be close to it underneath your steering wheel, engine should start hopefully, take it back to the shop see what they say or buy a new one.

Really?? Kind of defeats the point of an imobaliser if you can 'disconnect' it that easy. I could be wrong but it sounds as if that has been wired wrong.

Alarms usually have a manual override (with input of code) as described above but if you can do what you are describing, anyone with half a brain can take your car.

Hey man i don't need a smart arse remark from some ramdom, you may be right that it was wired wrong but thats what i did and it worked, you can flex your pc pectrol muscles all you want i'm tryin to help another skyline brother out without a wise crack from some wise guy

I'm not talkin to scorpio chief, but as i said before, what i had done, worked, and if it is wired wrong then Alberts has a lot of explaining to do, i thought this was a website were we where suppose to help each other out, and not banter about who has the bigger f**kin brain on skylines. As you said BOSS if anyone with half a brain did that, then were in for a lot of shit. Hope they don't come for your f**kin car chief.

sorry i think you took that the wrong way. The half a brain comment was not aimed at you but the scum who usually steel cars.

One of my previous jobs was as an installer for alarms cruise controls etc and out of all the ones i have done/seen/fixed over the years there has not been one that does what you say hence the wired wrong comment. Again MOST will have a turn key X amount of times or push buttton x amount of times to over ride the alarm and immob. but with out the code nothing can be done.

To the OP: Did you get a second alarm remote (put it a safe spot and forgot about it?)

If not contact the place you got it installed and ask why the second one was not given and IF they can get another and program it.

Last option is to remove it.

Woah be cool guys thanks for tryna give me a jand much appreaciated.

Ok i check my couch believe me i ripped it open. The ring on my key disconnected n musta fell off someewhere.

Im going to call up autowatch today and see if it doesnt cost shitload to get a new one.

Or im gna call up the locksmith and see if they do iy for me.

And the other option is do pauls idea and disconnect the whole system

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
