Maybe I'm missing something, but in some of my international travels, rental cars had a keypad that had to be entered correctly prior to the key working.
No key code entry, no run.
Put the keypad in 3 times incorrectly in a row, system blinks rad, you sat for an hour unless you called the rental place for an override key.
Voltage fluctuation aside, it seems like the same system.
- giobox 3y agoI haven't seen a separate keypad immobilizer (the kind where you put key in ignition and turn, but engine wont start until a pin is entered into a separate keypad in the cabin) since I last sat in a Peugeot 205 in the early 90s - I'd be shocked to see one on anything made in the last decade that isn't a weird aftermarket accessory. I've never seen this on a rental car in Europe/US in recent memory. The pin pads Ford often fit to doors are not the same thing - those are to provide cabin access without a key at places such as worksites or camping trips etc.
