Our ME7 Immobilizer OFF service is designed for Volkswagen vehicles equipped with Bosch ME7 ECUs (ME7.1, ME7.1.1, and ME7.5). This service disables the immobilizer system in the ECU, allowing your engine to run without immobilizer interference. It is ideal for vehicles experiencing immobilizer-related start-and-stop issues or when installing a used replacement ECU.

Important: This service is only effective for vehicles that start and then shut down due to an immobilizer fault. Vehicles that do not start at all require ECU repair or cloning. After IMMO OFF, the immobilizer warning light may remain on. Always clear OBD codes before or after service for optimal operation.

FAQ

What does IMMO OFF do?
Disables the factory immobilizer in your Bosch ME7 ECU, allowing the engine to run without key authorization.

Will my car still start with existing keys?
Yes. The engine will start normally, but the immobilizer system is bypassed.

Will the immobilizer light stay on?
Yes, depending on the ECU and fault, this is normal after IMMO OFF.

Can this fix a car that doesn’t crank?
No. Vehicles that do not start at all require ECU repair or cloning, not IMMO OFF.

Is this legal for road use?
IMMO OFF is typically intended for off-road, export, or diagnostic purposes. Customers are responsible for compliance with state and local laws.

Do you serve customers outside Texas?
Yes. Nationwide mail-in service is available.
