What brand is this and would it be possible to get the chip thing for one?

 

Looks like a 90's Vecta immobiliser came with 3 keys and it was not possible to get replacements

 

Thats what it is, same as mine,but mine has been updated and it does'nt have to have the push in little keys anymore. Just got a small black plastic thing on my key ring which automatically arms/disarms the immobilisers when you put the keys in/take them out of the ignition. Much better than having to push the key into the slot every time.

 

Sounds like yours has been bypassed and replaced with a different type of system.

The Vecta immobiliser key looked like this

 

Ah yes the good old vecta systems from back in the day. They has their fair share of problems ey Tony..lol.

mine is still going strong. And I have all 3 keys lol.

Those autowatch immobiliser are good.

 

You are in the minority Paul, I remember lots of people having issues with these vecta systems back in the day.

Thanks. Lee.

 

Hmm ok well i only have one key so i might remove this. Is there any guides or tips on doing this?

 

Dash out.
vecta is a cylindrical tube.
in tape all the black wiring and work out what circuit has been spliced into.
Remove and join cables where the immobi was.

Simple if you have an understanding of car wiring.

 

I would fit another more modern immobiliser for security if you take it out.

 

If you have to leave the key in it's Vecta Shadow, If you put key in and remove it and LED goes green it's Vecta Mangusta

 

Spot on.

Also be aware if your not 100% sure you can remove it don't.

 

An alarm is only as good as the installer

 

Yes that has a lot to do with it Adam for sure.However the Vecta still had it's own problems back in the day.

Thanks. Lee.

 

Got me looking through my paperwork, this was fitted in 94....still got the led in place and works off the replacement....disconnected the full system in 2005 for a new alarm.
