Immobilizer By-pass
The immobilizer is gone in my car, Specialized ECU Repairs has it, I am trying to decide if I should repair it or by-pass it. My shop has used them several times with fantastic results. My question is if I put in the by-pass do you thinks it depriciates the value of the car? The is a 41k mile car with some tasteful mods, never going to be put into a collection. I will be selling itn next year.Thoughts?

How much does it cost to enable the immobilizer? Just factor in the cost to enable the immobilizer when you sell the car.

I think it depends on the condition on your car. If you're under 30k miles, unmodified, then maybe I'd consider it as more collectible. If your car has mods, higher mileage, I doubt this will affect the value.

The cost to repair the immobilizer is less than $300. It's significantly less than modifying the DME ECM and a more reliable fix.
