Hi

I don't if you can reprogram another remote without the dongle key from the original car............But, if you do bit of research on internet you will find some ECU repair company do by passing those immobiliser remote system............

hi
yeh ive seen those. im interested to know what the original diagnostic software is. the engine is/was peugot so have they used a citroen/peugot system. if they have built a bypass it cant be that complicated. thing with these cars now is the by pass gizmo is probably worth more than the car.

remote battery went dead and after battery replaced wont disable alarm. seems to have lost sync with the car. no key with the lead. easy cure is bypassed alarm ecu but interested as to software tata use for there diagnostics as know one seems to know.

apparently the program to talk to the ecu is TMLValeoRepro V2.2 Setup.zip. by tata and requires Samtec HSLight interface which is a Pass-Thru API / SAE J2534-1 device
