What is a bypass module in a remote start?
A bypass module is what makes modern remote start possible. You see, since the year 2000, many vehicles were equipped with immobilizers. This device does wonders for vehicle security and theft prevention.
Do you need a bypass module for immobilizers?
When immobilizers were introduced, aftermarket remote starters had to be installed alongside one of your expensive vehicle keys, or the factory security features had to be disabled entirely. Then came the bypass module to bring back the magic of keyless entry and remote start.
What does it mean when your car wont start with a bypass module?
Great question. When Enormis Mobile Specialties installs your system, we safely fire up all the electronics in your vehicle, just as if you were sitting in the driver’s seat and turning the key. What that means to you is the vehicle shouldn’t start because it doesn’t see a transponder key in the ignition.
How does a remote starter work on a car?
Well, when the dealer installs your remote car starter, they program the bypass module with your vehicle’s key. This way, the bypass module will emit the same unique signal as the transponder chip in your car key.

When does a bypass work on a car?
Our bypass only works when the remote starter is active. If someone comes out to your vehicle while it is running and tries to drive away in it, our remote start shuts off, the transponder system re-engages and your vehicle is just as safe as before.
