    why would you want to do that?? IMO The only thing that immo does is piss the hell out of you since you need to go to the dealer everytime you change something related to it. If someone wants to steal your car, it's not the immo that will avoid that.

    But for your awnser, ask someone to recode the immo, it's just the opposite way of defeating it. I can't awnser completely your 2nd question but it should'nt affect the tune at all since immo and flash are two different things in ecu architecture

    keep it defeated. if you ever part your car out, you will have to do it anyways. it also makes getting a spare key made more complicated and expensive.

    When u defeat the immo it throws a code unable to connect with immo.
    And i have to pass inspections with the car to get license plates for the car. And the first thing they do is check for codes.. So i cant have any codes.

    immobilizer has nothing to do with emissions and safety. my immobilizer is defeated yet doesn't throw a code anyways.

    Never said anything about emissions.
    Car is a salavge title, it has to go through certain inspections. Car CANNOT have any lights on the dash. Also MUST have zero codes....
