Re: GM RFID CAR Immobilizer
Hey,
If you have the transmitter, and it works, recording the signal from the keyfob to teh receiver (RF) wouldn't do much good. Artem is right......RFID is pretty damn robust. But thats not where the flaw is....
I doubt very much that the signal from the RFID receiver (going to the ECU) is the same. That would require adding a new lot of code to the ECU (when the immobiliser is installed) to decrypt it. So I'm betting, the immoibliser decodes the RFID signal, and sends 'immobilser ON/OFF' messages to the ecu. Or even simply making a pin high. Recirding that and playing it back for the ECU might work. One caveat: If the car in question was manufactured with the immobiliser installed, then it 'may' be hardwired. But, you never know...
I've worked with a couple of ECU's, and they're not that complicated. Because of reliability being the main ssue, they're pretty simple. Poking around where the immobilser receiver connects to it shouldn't be hard. LED, multimeter, logic analyser etc..
Alternatively, you could knock up an OBD-II -> RS232 converter and check exactly whats happening in the ECU, if the PC software showes anything to do with immobilisation, then chances are, its hardwired into the ECU.
Again, I don't have a clue what I'm talking about really, but hacking systems (hence, proving some manufacturers 'hype' wrong) is what I'm best at.
Good luck, let me know how you got on.
