What is this?! Some kind of.. plug..? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #58799 27 posts Started by Jen
Whenever I unplug this, my car does not start. The battery will come on, but not turn over. I guess it's some kind of security thing that was installed on my car. Does anyone else have it..? Or could someone tell me exactly what it is called?

i forget what it's called, but yeah, it's a kill chip, it disables your car.

Alright, I just called you and discussed with you the operation of the device. Seems as though the patent number listed is only in compliance to the patent for the LED light which is mounted on the topside of the "key fob". This unit is very simliar to the Revelco (sp) unit. As you already knew before you posted this thread, that it is an anti theft device that is spidered into your ecu harness not allowing the vehicle to start unless the "key fob" is inserted in the port. I will further diagnose this upon my next visit, however, there's not much else you need to know about it, but I guess I'll use it as an excuse to play around with your Celica.

Oh, and this is MaskedMan, but I thought I'd post under MarcoGTS for that more mysterious MaskedMan effect.

its a kill chip.. lots of brands out there... but thats what it is......
as far as what it does... it prevents theft... prevents is the key word... u have to remove it when u take out the key and hope the thief isnt an electrician or a tech....

Its not a OEM install, thats why no one else has it, but somebody had it installed to prevent theft of the vehicle prior to you...
I build these for people who lose them and get stranded at shopping malls cwm13.gif

It makes it so that someone can't start the car. You unplug it when you leave the car, and plug it back in when you come back. It's just another step in the lock/unlock routine. It needs to be plugged in for the car to run. My friend with his Sentra didn't even know he had this until his car shut down on him while driving. After he towed it home we found it under his dash. It is a very effective anti-theft method.

question though, is each key and receiver programmed differently, or can you interchange keys? i know, stupid question, slap me later.

Like having 2 keys. It's a 2 piece portable kill switch. wink.gif I'm still a fan of the hidden toggle tongue.gif

But then again there are all these guys with push button relay starts. This one seems to take it to the next level though.

this is my 2nd celica to have this though. both 94s. which makes me think.. maybe it was an option? derrick/maskedman says maybe it was a dealer option. idk?

could have been a non toyota option that can be installed at the dealer such as lojack. kinda a good idea but where does it plug in? right by the key or under the dash some where? from what you guys are saying it sounds easy to miss, I would not want to dig under the dash to plug that thing in every time I want to drive somewhere but for the security i guess I understand.
Generally under the dash and hidden, hence the LED light on the key.

o i thought when u plug it in it doesnt start lol..

my friend's car has one of those anti theft device.

He just leaves it plugged into the slot. No one is gonna steal that car.


But Jen if you want to use that as a second key to your car its a decent option. I will work as long as you remember to take it with you every time you leave the car.

Wow come to think about it, its becoming more and more work to drive a car these days...

You have to detach your stereo's face plate and take it with you, you have to remove the electric key... ect.

any place that sells allarms most likely.... just ask em for a kill chip... if thats not the exact terminoligy than describe its purpose, if they still dont get what ur talkin about then u should probably punch em in the forehead... auto toys will most likely have them...
or shop ebay for em
