   no just unplugs from behind the dash
   you can unlock yours but you wont have an imobiliser

   as above get the engine running or ignition on 2nd click with the immobiliser allowing the engine to start and disconnect the black box behind the dash.
   
   that should stop it as it will cut out the immobiliser
