Frequently Asked Questions
Is IMMO OFF legal?
IMMO OFF is legal for off-road/race vehicles and engine swaps. It should not be used on street-driven vehicles as it removes anti-theft protection. We perform this service for legitimate purposes: race cars, engine swaps, and vehicles with failed immobilizer systems that are too expensive to repair properly.
Will my car still run normally after IMMO OFF?
Yes, the engine will run perfectly. IMMO OFF only removes the key authentication check - all other ECU functions (fuel, timing, boost, etc.) operate normally. The car will start with any key or even a screwdriver in the ignition (which is why this is for off-road use only).
Can you reverse IMMO OFF later?
Yes. We save your original ECU file before making changes. We can flash the original file back anytime to restore the immobilizer system. This is useful if you decide to return the vehicle to street use or sell it.
Do I still need keys after IMMO OFF?
You need a mechanically-cut key to turn the ignition cylinder, but it doesn't need to be programmed. Any key that physically fits will start the car. For race cars, some owners install a push-button start or toggle switch instead of using keys.
What about engine swaps - do I need IMMO OFF?
Usually yes. When swapping a VW/Audi engine into another vehicle (or vice versa), the ECU won't have the correct immobilizer data. IMMO OFF allows the ECU to run the engine without the original vehicle's key system. This is standard practice for engine swaps.
