did you have any luck with disabling the immo? i have same problem on my fathers 95 c220d
And if you do start a new one, more details are needed...
Is it a W210 or a W124?
Does is have a collar that protrudes around the key (when inserted in ignition)?
Do you have red and green lights in the mirror, if so, what do they do?
What specific problems are you having? (coming here with the assumption of diagnosis may be counter productive - I suggest you describe the symptoms, rather than your assumption of the cause of those symptoms)
Last of all, there is no bypass for any factory fitted immobiliser.
the car is an w202 c220D 1995 the key fob has one button it works for unlocking the car get the green light when i unlock it but when i try to start it flashes green and red in the mirror the engine turns over but i think the fuel supply is interupted by the factory immobilizer/infrared locking system
Do the lights flash correctly during locking and unlocking?
Dec, I think the engine ECU would need to be changed as well, as I understand it.
The immobiliser is under the foot rest (remove 3 plastic nuts) in the passenger foot well and not under dashboard.
You have to remove the foot rest to see it.

You have new keys… that are known to work properly… the problem seems to be intermittent, which makes it difficult to pinpoint, the only way forward now is to have the car checked on STAR diagnostic, there doesn’t seem to be anything else that you can try now.

Hi AlfieI had cause many years ago to call upon Mobilo to get my car (W202 C180) going after the immobiliser refused to let go of my car. The car unlocked and locked fine but inserting the key and turning did nothing.
When the chap from mobilo came out he quickly disabled the immobiliser which shocked me when I saw how simple it was. It takes about 5 minutes thats all.
I'll PM you the solution.
EDIT: Cant send you a PM as they are not enabled for you. Send me an email to sales@comand.co.uk and i'll reply with the solution.
