Immobilizer Receiver





The immobilizer receiver is in the bezel surrounding the ignition switch. It supplies power to the transponder inside the key using electromagnetic induction. There is no physical connection between the key and the receiver. Once the transponder is powered up, it sends its ID code to the receiver, which then sends the code to the immobilizer control unit.
