Majni Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) I just bought a 2007 Audi A3 8P and found this. https://postimg.cc/WhQ48DfF. Any clue as to what it is? Also, any way to fix the plastic around it? Seems like the paint is peeling off? Edited July 5 by Majni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 It looks like a button. What happens when you press it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammie1982 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I think its an immobiliser of some description. I used to have one in a car that i had to touch with a keyring before the car would start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupe4 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 neil is right,its an immobiliser and if its still wired the car wont start until you put a little fob up to it.i had the same thing in an xr4i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeDaveT Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Definately looks like an immobiliser, very similar to one my wife had on her old Fiesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majni Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 (edited) I got a little red fob (I just assumed it was an RFID tag for some other door or something so I took it off the keychain) with it but when I press it against it nothing happens, car starts perfectly without it. Is it original or did someone add it? Edit: there's also capsule thing in a key that won't let the car start without the capsule being near the ignition. Is that it or?
