HI All,

i have one doubt.

I have fitted to my car the original key barrel.

sow without the key the steering wheel is blocked.

2nd i have another key (in form of a creditcard) wich is needed to start/contact/lights etc.

do i comply? its true that with one key the engine can be started. but to drive you need the other one!

Cheers,

Tks

p.d. offcourse it only works with my key!

The original key barrel that switches the ignition off (and therefore the engine)and when removed locks the steering column is fine for SVA with regard to the anti theft legislation.

What you must not have is a system where you can have the engine still running with the original steering lock operational when the key is removed. With this key removed, the ignition must be off, and therefore the engine not running.

Hope this makes sense

Dave

Can you wire the two systems up in parallel?

You will fail if you can start the car up with credit card key whilst stg lock is engaged.

It sounds like you need to use the secondary key device as a cat2 immobiliser. This way the std barrel / key device is the primary engine starter control.

Does this make sense. To explain better;
1. With both keys operated the engine starts and stops only on the std barrel key.
2. If credit card key is not used - the stg lock is disengaged when barrel key turned but engine wont start.
