Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Immobiliser renoval

Has anyone (successfully) removed the Avonwood immobiliser as fitted to circa 2015 cars?
I can see the unit behind the dash but am worried to progress, the key transponder through the steering column surround is temperamental and I can do with out it to be honest
Many thanks

Just have a look at daveW first, a post he did in order to make the mobiliser ring more effective in functionality.

Following on from sewin's post check out Dave's thread on immobilser here.

You may have issues with your insurer if you remove or disable an immobiliser that was a standard factory fit as it forms part of the assessment used to give it's insurance group number

I think it's part of the Thatcham rating

If the company responible is Avonwood Develoments, has any GDI owner contacted them directly to discuss the issue? A UK company with in-house R&D and with through life support on their RFID systems, including service and repair. It might throw some light on the nature of the problem and maybe even a remedy for this frustrating feature.

I must say that the Ford RFID system on the earlier Duratec cars with its combined immobilser and ECU appears quite reliable. It's the only electronics on my car I trust, despite having multiple sets of spares for when that day eventually comes....

Having looked at Dave’s info I have done some fettling and all now seems to work well, thank you for everyone’s advice.
