you seriously could jam a flat head in the ignition, ive seen it done before lol. you would have to get a new ignition when you get your new computer and stuff though. i guess it depends on how desperate you are. idk if that always works either so once again its probably a bad idea lol. sorry for talkin in circles

yea but it still wouldnt start

WOOOOOOOOOOOW. Really? This is a serious thread? If you have an immobilizer, a screw driver won't do **** but ruin your cylinder. Immobilizers are chip activated, so unless that screw driver has the chip from your key, you're just breaking ****.

yea dude i was bout to say dont do it lol i was just messin around

Look for the starter relay and ground the wire.

You'll still need to have a key to turn the steering wheel and start the car...unless you do jam a flat head in there..

You might as well have told him to replace his oil with corn syrup.........lol

haha, i didnt think he was actually going to do it. i hope he decided against it, if not, sorry greenmachine
EDIT: i did say it was a bad idea right?

ok.i beat the steering lock out from the bottom and took the back of theswitch off and got the car to turn on. then i jumped the starter relay and got it to crank. there is no spark. which wire puts power to the coil? and what is the green wire for?

reckon itll start? i figured it out i believe. im gonna remove the card from the computer. the daughter board that contains the immobilizer. with a toggle ran to the starter relay and the steering lock removed from the bottom of the switch. this should start the car and enable it to run. will this work?

does anyone have a pic of the jdm motherboard that you can pm me? really need it and a schematic of this computer and that one. im gonna figure this out and make an immobilizer bypass write-up and set it to "only members can view this thread" after i get it to run

Dude, GO TO HONDA they will cut you a new key, all the information SHOULD be in their system.


Just make sure you provide proof of ownership of the car (title, registration, license etc)


And making a write-up on "bypassing the immobilizer" is the WORST idea, i'm sure your intentions are good - but that's the last thing we need, a writeup for a thief to use to steal OUR cars....

well honda said they didnt have that info. wanted an arm and a leg and wouldnt give me the brake code

I would **** that dude up. Then make him buy me a spare key and lunch..maybe a beer

Do you have your red key? Honda has all your immobilizer info, them telling you otherwise doesn't sound right at all.

no red keys. and honda is 100 miles from my house. i just got a po6 from a 95 civic and about 6 inches of the harness. gonna wire it into my 0bd2 harness and run a switch for vtec until i get around to converting this po6 into a p28 like this.

wow, this thread is messed. if you dont have the red key, or any black keys you are done. there is no starting it. there is no help from honda. they can cut you a key for your locks but without a red key they cant program your ecu to accept the new transponder code. start looking for an ignition set. should come with ignition, 3 keys(one being red) and the immobilizer. only way.

removed lock cylinder. have 2 of the 3 plugs for the po6 wired into my factory harness. gonna probably run the vtec with my shift light. should be able to set it where i want it. i'll update after im finished.

What if I have the black key and a grey key? My car didnt come with a red key when i got it. Can honda make me a red one?

honda is no help at all if you lose your keys. they can suck one cause i have it figured out. a lot of time with schematics, pinouts, anda soldering gun and black tape is all ya need.

Same here. And what does the red key do differently?

dont need red key or immobilizer anymore. i bypassed it successfully. car starts and runs everytime.

you do the blue wire like i told ya hours ago?

Red key lets you program keys within the car. It wont let you start the engine.
