Got an immobiliser with one of these plugs (pic below) to deactivate it. But it doesn't always make a contact, which can be a right pain!

Anyone know if these are coded, or can I pull the socket out and join the wires together to effectively remove the immobiliser?

Cheers

Should connect in at the socket with two green wires above the glovebox. Remove the immobiliser plug and link the two greens from the loom above with a plug fitted with a loop of wire.

Thanks Brian 8)

So would this be a dealer fit immobiliser, or some sort of aftermarket affair?
