Remote starter immobilizer bypass module

A remote starter immobilizer bypass module is an essential component when installing an aftermarket remote car starter in most modern vehicles. Its sole purpose is to "trick" the vehicle's factory immobilizer system into believing that the correct key is present in the ignition, allowing the engine to start remotely. Here's a breakdown of what that means: What is a remote starter immobilizer bypass module system? Since around the late 1990s, and mandated for all new cars sold in Canada since the year 2000, virtually every vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer system as an anti-theft measure. This system prevents the engine from starting unless it detects a specific, valid code.
  • How it works:
    • Your car key (or smart key fob) contains a small electronic chip called a transponder. This chip stores a unique electronic code.
    • When you insert the key into the ignition (or, with push-button start, have the fob within range), the vehicle's onboard computer (often via an antenna coil around the ignition barrel) reads the code from the transponder.
    • If the code matches what's stored in the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit), the remote starter immobilizer bypass module is deactivated, and the engine is allowed to start and run.
    • If the code doesn't match, or if no valid code is detected (e.g., someone tries to hot-wire the car, or uses an unprogrammed key), the immobilizer will prevent the engine from starting, or it will start for a few seconds and then immediately shut off. It typically disables vital functions like the fuel pump or ignition system.

Safety sensor - BFT FL130

The BFT FL130 is a photoelectric safety sensor designed primarily for use with automated gates and doors. It's a crucial safety component that prevents the gate or door from closing if an obstacle, such as a person or vehicle, is detected in its path. Here's a breakdown of its key aspects: How it Works The BFT FL130 operates as a pair of photocells, consisting of a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX). These units are typically mounted on opposite sides of the gate or door opening. The transmitter emits an infrared beam towards the receiver. If anything breaks this beam (e.g., a person walking through, a car passing), the receiver detects the interruption and sends a signal to the gate's control unit. This signal then triggers a safety mechanism, causing the gate to stop its movement or reverse direction to avoid impact. Features and Specifications
