The easy and cheapest fix is to get a new key cut and tape the head of the original key in close proximity to the halo ring sensor.

SOURCE: I need the key to start engine or by-pass the immobilizer.

There is a chip in the key on the newer cars. The dealer should be able to send your information to Hyundai and order a new key. Pricey. Check with another dealer.

Your immobilizer is enabled. Try locking/unlocking the doors with the remote five (5) times, this should remedy.

SOURCE: Car won't start

If there is a blinking car icon with an "X" over it. This icon means the Immobilizer has been activated and hence won't allow the car to start. It could be due to a bad SCU, Start Control Unit. The SCU is actually the ignition switch on these cars.
Most of the time it's triggered by the anti-theft system..You can try this trick i learned that the dealers won't tell you...try locking and unlocking of the doors five times with the remote to reset the immobilizer and see if this helps.
Good luck...i hope this helps...please take a minute to rate me a fixya.

How can I start my 2005 Ford focus SE without the key chip

I'm sorry, but it is not possible to start a 2005 Ford Focus SE without the key chip. The key chip, also known as a transponder key, is a security feature that prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle. Without the key chip, the car's engine immobilizer system will prevent the car from starting.

If you do not have the original key with the chip, you will need to obtain a new key with a chip from a Ford dealership or a qualified automotive locksmith. They will be able to cut a new key to match the locks on your car and program the new key chip to work with your car's immobilizer system.

Please note that attempting to start the car without the key chip or trying to bypass the immobilizer system may cause damage to the car's electrical system and could potentially lead to other issues. It is important to have a proper working key chip to ensure the safe and reliable operation of your vehicle.

Wwhat does it mean..immobilzer appeared in xc90 Volvo 2004

The immobliser battery (re-chargable Li-Ion) has begun to leak onto the immobilser board causing a short and inoperation of the immobilser function. It's located in the right wheel well behind the plastic liner. You can replace the battery yourself with a 3.6V 210mA phone battery number 303. Some soldering is required to replace the battery. Otherwise visit dealer to replace the immobilser board probably worth hundreds of dollars.

I had a new key cut for my 2004 accord and replaced the keyless entry pad. The car will not start...does the pad need reprogramed to start the car

If you car has the immobilizer system, the following might help.

The Immobilizer System protects your car from theft. A properly coded ignition key must be used in the ignition switch for the engine to start. If an improperly-coded key (or other device) is used, the engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the Immobilizer System indicator should come on for a few seconds, then go out. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the key.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert it, and turn the switch to ON (II) again.

Hope this is helpful to you.

My car won't start

Many cars these days are equipped with an immobilizer. (you can find more information about the immobilizer in your owner's manual). The immobilizer allows the engine to run only if the correct key is used. If your car has an immobilizer, you probable see a "Security" or Key-shaped light coming on on the dashboard every time you turn the ignition ON. If this light is flashing when you turn the ignition ON, it could mean that there is some problem with an immobilizer or the system does not recognize the key. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key, the engine wold not start at all, or would start and then die in few seconds.
You can try a spare key, if it won't work, your dealer is the place to call. Sometimes, the key is just need to be reprogrammed. On some cars you can find the information how to reprogram the key in the owner's manual.
