Lee Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Here’s some interesting snaps sent to me by Massimo Bianchi from his trip to Singapore last week! He wrote “The locksmith pictured is working on a Toyota Camry 2010, and had to disassemble the dashboard to find an OBD connection to the vehicle Immobilizer, with the purpose or reprogramming ignition and remote key. He said the car makers are making it more and more complicated to connect with the Immobilizer Unit, and sometimes they dismantle half a car and don’t even manage to find the right connection ! Of course it is always a ratio between time employed and service expected, when they see that they take too long than they give up because the key would be too expensive. I will send you other pictures of Newton shop inside, however these are for your information only because they show KeyLine products and it is not my intention to advertize our products. These people are really keen on transponder keys and remote controls, the shop is inside the Singapore horse racing playgrounds and racetrack, inside a huge shopping center and nursery school, therefore there is a lot of traffic and the car service is provided in the middle of the parking lot, while the keys are duplicated inside the shop. They claimed to duplicate an average of 50 transponder keys and remotes every day. I visited the shop at 10:00 AM and they had cloned already 15 transponder keys on the KeyLine 884 machine, while the metal part was cut by code on the KeyLine DeZmo electronic machine.

keithm Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I love that post, I don't want to show picture as that would be advertising, but I'll mention the 'exact' machines used anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 to be far that was me, I could easily have edited it out, but it was an interesting story & as keyline sponsor the site, a little bit of advertising for massimo spending time to send me the pictures don't go amiss.

Lee Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I think Kelvin rivals the best of them! In one of the two other pictures I think there were 5 cloners of varying makes & 5 keys by the chap’s hands including a Mercedes & Toyota & what looked like a Nissan in the middle of cloning all in a small photographic area not much more than probably a couple of metres! He's obviously got supreme confidence! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockdecoders Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 That looks more like a Toyota Yaris than a Camry. Immobiliser box is down the back of the heater matrix and that is why you have to do this. It is easy to do and only takes about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Gardner Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 customer to mechanic my car engine is misfiringmechanic replies ill just be an hour sir while i remove the dashboard so I can connect my laptop to the diagnostic port' customer replies WTF seems a stupid idea to have to remove the dash to access diagnostic port, but then what do I know. it is not the diagnostic port he is looking for and as pete said its the immo box that is located behind the heater matrix which needs removed and is only a basic eeprom job to get key done all the work is tripping down to get to the box that is why from now on i only do eeprom work on lost keys as customers dont want to pay for my time on eeprom on spare keys. craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 is only a basic eeprom job to get key done all the work is tripping down to get to the box that is why from now on i only do eeprom work on lost keys as customers dont want to pay for my time on eeprom on spare keys. craig I understand all the words on their own (apart from the eeprom thing), but put together, you might as well be talking martian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 you might as well be talking martian Well Newton is in Singapore! so we wouldn't understand him anyway! You can dress it up, or dress it down anyway you want. You have to be brave to do this to a 2010 vehicle! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkybob Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 thanks to wikipedia for this. EEPROM (also written E2PROM and pronounced "e-e-prom," "double-e prom" or simply "e-squared") stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory and is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices to store small amounts of data that must be saved when power is removed, e.g., calibration tables or device configuration.

lockdecoders Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I am glad to see you guys do know foreign cars. I do know Kelvin and it is a Camry and unfortunately most new Toyotas need to be done this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
