Folks,
I have recently purchased a current model Prado and I already own a Turbo timer from a previous vehicle. I would like to fit it to the vehicle (I know, can be illegal in some states, can sit in car and wait etc etc)
Problem is these damn latest immobilisers sense when the key is pulled from the ignition and shut down the ECU.
Has anyone had any experience here and know how to get around it?
Cheers

Hmm, sounds like doozy. Have you tried it at all, when I hooked
mine up I put an extra relay on so I could lock the doors and still arm the imobilser and alarm however I don't have one of those new fan-dangle keys like the new yotas have. I drive an Echo for work and I know the type your talking about, I just wonder if it does shut it down or if you can hold it open with a relay. Might have to talk to an auto electrictian that knows how they work, he might be able to point you to the direction of power for the ECU from the factory imobiliser.

Nah havent tried it as yet - just experimented with the removal of the key and following the circuit in the steering colmun - it definatley throws a relay.
If its anything like my previous car - it can be gotten around with a relay - but to know where to put it is the question;)
