I have sucessfully modded my steering column to include all of the stock Solara immobilizer functions.
Including the stock Solara immobilizer key, and pick-up coil.
No, I didnt mount them under the dash, or in the trunk tucked away... They are in their stock locations.
Car is gonna be nice once its all done this time around. New paint, 2001 stock stereo amplifier, 2001 EVAP systems, OBDII compliance, fully functional immobilizer... ALL stock systems in place.
I'm even trying to see If I can get ahold of the stock theft systems to wire in to the car.
Ok, so I finally got some good pics of the steering column in its modded state. The old mr2 ignition switch and housing is shown in some of the pics so you can get a good idea of what I did to get the Solara stuff onto the mr2 column.
use the guide arrows at the bottom to see the other pics.
