its only function is to add or remove keys from the immo system

**Johnie** · 02-06-2014 05:05 PM

How do i add a new key with it?

You cant! The red key can only be used ONCE to override the immo system, once its used you need to code all the keys again.
Ask ECU-MAN on this forum he would know exactly what the RED key is about.

As mentioned, the red key is only used for programming in new keys into the immobiliser system. If you try to start the car with the red key you risk wiping all immobiliser data requiring re-programming of the immobiliser system

What is your situation ?. Why are you trying to start the car with the red key.

I no longer have the original key, had a attempted theif try steal the car and they got ahold of the original key off me (at knife point)however didn't get away with the car
cops came and fingerprinted the car and havent heard from them
so now im trying to get it running again however i have no key for it (except the red key), so will be changing door locks and barrel, and will need to work out how to disable the immobiliser

The stolen key can be programmed out of the immobiliser system, however you need 1 black key and 1 red key for this to be done at a dealer.

I can do this for you and provide a new black key with your current situation of only the red key.

Disabling the immobiliser really is not a good idea but the cheap way out.
