Every now and then I run into something on the job that genuinely surprises me. A customer told me their car could be started with a regular metal key even though it was supposed to require a programmed chip key, and I honestly didn’t believe it at first. Turns out they were telling the truth—the vehicle had been modified to bypass the immobilizer, which isn’t something I see very often. In this video, you’ll see me programming a remote for this unique setup. Just another reminder that you never know what you’ll run into in the locksmith world.
