DiagZone IMMO

What is IMMO?

IMMO, short for Immobilizer System, is a security feature in modern vehicles designed to prevent theft. It ensures the engine only starts with the correct key, which contains a transponder chip that communicates with the vehicle’s immobilizer. If the system detects an incorrect or missing code, the engine remains locked, allowing only authorized users to operate the vehicle.
