@roskinc your pic with the blade is kinda dark but our keys do look similar I don't see the indents for the immobilizer how ever I think I also can't see correct me if I'm wrong the black plastic piece sitting on top of the bottom end of the blade as pictured I'm starting not to know what to think the seller says my key is missing the separate immobilizer however your key looks like it doesn't have it either please post a pic of your board that's probably where our keys differ
Edit I got a better look at your key And they look exactly the same so now I'm dying to see your board because if yours works and you have the same exact key and board as I do than wth is going on. Btw in my case I can't put my board near the ignition and even get the orginal diamond key to start the car unless the board is actually touching the bottom of the blade watch my video again.

okay guys @roskinc and @dakest I did some more testing and I have 2 new videos both showing me positives that this mod may just yet work for me I need your opinions on what do you think is going on and do you think I should try to cut open my other key since Im getting these kinda new results

see i was right, has something to do with your chip on the key that you always use. i bet (and id hate to suggest because now you have to cut two keys) if you cut open the spare key and use that chip on the key fob it would work. thats why i suggested you use the new style key fob with the chip next to it.
again, +1 thread cred for me and ownage on achtunge60

After watching your videos I get the feeling the first key may have an issue with a weak battery or weak transponder signal.
I am glad it worked, just be gentle with that new fob.

Thanks for helping the guy out i was the original guy who started this mod i was about to comment just for the future check my original thread all testing was done first with chip to start car different ways there is a ring on the ignition that picks up the immoboliser if any one else wants to test this hold the chip above the ingition barrel close to the ring the car will start
