Do I need to disable the immobilizer on the Mercedes?
In General, staff alarm system at Kalina fairly stable, though somewhat primitive by today's standards. When adding provided, but not installed sensor jiggle she could compete with the "signaling" of an average price category. Problems usually arise when installing new alarm systems, which generally fails to "make friends" with a factory-installed system. In such cases, some care centers are not particularly bothered by the question simply attach a spare key to tape to the wires near the ignition switch that the system is equivalent constantly present in the car owner.

How to bypass Immo on Kalina?
Some car services when you install the alarm systems, "bypass" the problems with the immobilizer, locating near the steering column, spare ignition key, which is unacceptable from the point of view of security.Disabling the immobilizer is quite a complex and time-consuming procedure that requires special software and skills with a soldering iron. First, you need to deactivate and to close between the wires from pins 9 and 18 of connector immobilizer, thereby severing its connection with the control unit and retaining the ability to test through the DLC. Access immobilizer is accessible by removing the grille of the heater in the middle of the instrument panel (http://www.ladaonline.ru/upload/iblock/a50/picsx5cgalerys5cfutur_027.jpg). Further complications associated with the need to clear the memory of the control unit from the traces of the presence in the system of activated immobilizer. For example, popular AVTOVAZ controller Bosch M797+ for this, you need a unified adapter K-line, laptop or PC with the special software (http://www.chiptuner.ru/download/progs/eeprecu.zip) and memory dump pure untrained ECU from the same source. Additionally, at the time of programming, you must perform some switching perepiski in the control unit. Therefore, in the absence of necessary skills or equipment it is advisable to give the unit for a very reasonable cost to re-flash to a specialized service.
