Is it even worth trying to dismantle the anti-theft system on my car?

What car for what reason?

2012 equinox. I fucked up my key and the anti-theft system won't let me start it now. I don't really want to pay to get a new one recut

How did you "fuck up the key?" Like strip the teeth or smash the fob part?

>>17524670
I went swimming with it in my pocket, so it doesn't give off the little transmission signal

Pretty much every new car is like that anon, don't fuck your key up.

It's literally all keys.

Where's the spare key, anon?

>>17524695
Lost in a move

Unless you can get it open to dry then clean out the corrosion, you'll need a new key from the dealer.

New cars use that transmitter to disarm the system, which is controlled in the ECM or the Security module. And you need a working key to set up a remote or key less start system cause it first needs to clone the signal.

Does your car have valet mode like most Fords??

How comfortable are you with installing a custom aftermarket ECU? More or less comfortable than taking it to the dealer?

How much cheaper would it be than just getting a new key made?

>>17524735
I'd assume the corrosion is going to make it unable to transmit anyway. It's just very frustrating to have a physical key I can turn in the ignition, but still be unable to start my car because the security system isn't ok with it.

Well to get a new key made at some random store like home depot, they need a working key to capture then clone the signal coming off the original key.

Yeah that's how new cars are made now. An ignition switch is no longer a physical switch with a defined circuit with power and ground, its now a transponder that sends a message to the ECM that you want to turn on the car.
