Disable transponder?

There has to be a simpler way. How do you trick the immobilizer when you have a remote starter?

You use a transponder key bypass module, which either requires surrendering a key into a little box that gets hidden under the dash or programming the module by reading an existing key.

Do you think that could solve my problem, or do you think there are bigger issues in play?

Do you have a second key, as that will tell you if the issue is the key or the transponder key amplifier?

If the immobilozer isn't reading the key, it would simply not start the car right? It wouldn't start and die within 2 sec. Once the key has been read and car started, it doesn't need the transponder anymore.

I have a dummy key I got cut just for the doors, and if you try to start the car with it, it will start but after a second or two it will die.

I have all 3 factory keys - one with remote, black one and grey valet key. This behaviour is not key specific, it will do this with all 3 keys.
