Identify and duplicate Securicode auto anti-theft device?
I have a 1997 car purchased in 2002 with an anti-theft device. There is a sensor with a blinking red light under the ignition, and the "key" is a translucent plastic cylinder with some electronics or coil of electrical material inside. To unlock the ignition interlock, I have to wave the cylinder near the blinking light, until it's recognized by the circuitry. The cylinder has the word SECURICODE on it, and is about 1-1/2 inches long and 1/4 inch in diameter, with the coil being about half that in diameter, as far as I can tell.
Any ideas how I can get a duplicate, if I can verify proof of owernship of the vehicle?
But who IS the manufacturer? We got the car from a dealership now closed for fraud. If THEY installed the system, there's no record available of the actually manufactuer or serial number of the device.
Please change "actually" to "actual" in the previous additional detail. I should learn to type slower....
