Can i not just program a new a blank chip that goes in a key and match it to the codebox? as in take codebox chip out put it in one of these
just a thought...

Tuning My 1.2 16v conversion thread
ECU does not know about the key I think, only about the box, and the only thing it cares about is the correct code to be received from the box. What the box itself does though I am not sure, that is, if there is one more level of checks - the box checks the code of the key and sends another code to the ECU, or perhaps the box only transmits the code from the key to the ECU.
But the bottom line is: if the ECU is coded then it needs to receive the only correct code it knows about from the immo box. You can reprogram things all you want on the key side, but it will not work until you program it with the right code. A decoded ECU will be virigin, it will assume nothing and program itself to the first code it receives on the immo line.

reddy4bed removed my immob completely in the ecu. It cost £35.
I hate the whole immob system lol

and i have an ecu for a 16v with immobilizer removed already and it has been tried and tested and a couple of different 16v conversions and works on them all
Hmm cant get hold of him and you selling it lol ?
Gone and got a spax lowering kit in the post ....bring on the lows!
Ran IAW Scan 2
and got this
"ECU Dissallowed engine to start".....Tell Me About It :bang:
And
"No Code Recieved Or Link Down"
Any Ideas?

i'm no expert but i would read that as ecu not receiving code from codebox. i.e. not the wrong code, just not receiving it at all. But i know nothing
Thats what i was thinking..... hmmm gonna go over d4 wiring lol
So checked it over and now im getting
"keycode error"
"keycode error"
well i guess that its getting a signal from it at least now then. I'm not sure where you go from here, will have to wait for someone more knowledgeable in that area than me.
eurgh it might be the aerial though il unplug it and run the test again to see if it changes.... can i make a "homemade aerial to test it?

Just had a quick look at what you are doing there, and the problems with the key recognition.
If you are trying to put a mk2 Punto keys in there it will not work, it needs the body computer to be installed to do the interface between keys and ecu.
If you are using Cinq keys then they wont work with the body computer.
Not sure exactly what set-up you are using. Maybe simpler to remove the immo completely.

I was using the mk2 stuff at first then got hold of all the mk1 stuff so I'm using all the mk1 loom ecu tb etc and have the code box however I have compared the cinq code box to the punto one the cinq has 2 pins for the aerial and the punto has 3 but the aerial the sent me only has 2 wires coming out of it .
If not I might have to give you some monies as I would try and have a go myself but don't wanna screw the ecu and have to buy another Lol

can someone with a 16v cinquecento please have a look at the code aerial for me and tell me if its 3 wires or just two as i think this is where its going wrong hopefully. my codebox has 3 pins for the connector but the connector on the aerial has only 2 wires helpppp!! eace:
eace:hi
an antenna only has + & - and a screen I.e. a shield you need to label the three wires 1, 2 & 3 and try each combination
12 13 & 23
may work ok without screen and a different termination but if it sometimes works you know you need the screened cable and different termination.
The famous story is a about one of the BMW models that would not unlock in the Dover ferries holds...

You need to get the correct antenna that goes with the immo, if its the yellow bosch immo box then an Alfa Romeo or Fiat Coupe antenna is required, If its the black Fiat box. then the the Punto type antenna is required.
Three wire antenna would be wrong.
Naturally the the keys that match the immo and ECU must be used.

I think imma send it to you reddy4bed probably next week cant stand the code system now lol
Got some gas shocks and eibach springs delivered today front is not bad however the rear is really high! Its sitting like a drag car ! So going to lower the rear more and get it sitting nicee and level
Some rake is good. Level or front lift is almost always worse.
Check out the bump stops! Give it time to settle.
