Ignition key ring wires

Does anyone know what this wiring does around the ring on the ignition key. Theres wires going to the ring and then lots of wires circling it. Don't know if i should take it off or not... I want to replace it with my illuminated ring.

Ok, found the answer. Forgot I had a Gregory's manual.

It's a key reader, without it the car won't start. It's paired to your keys. I tried to start my car with it to the side and it cranked but no start. Damn I was looking forward to having an illuminated ring! :(
 
the loop of wire isnt linked to ay codes or aything, its simply an induction loop. Should work if you just swap the wires. Does your ignition barrel have a clear plastic thing or black plastic thing stock. If its clear you just have to clip in the bulb.
 
yea, but the key needs that stupid induction loop to recognise what key you are using to try and start the car. It's part of the security system. I don't think I can change it over to the illuminated one i have.

And as you can see in the pics, mine is black plastic stock. But you can also see in the pic theres a hole for the t5 light to go thru. Even if i did put the light in that it wont do anything because mitsubishi decided to make the ring black, not clear.
 
so can you take your black ring off and swap with your clear ring, just unplug the wires and reconnect the wires from the clear one.

Sorry if im asking dumb questions im on my mobile so i cant really see the pics.
 
Oh, ok well if you can see the pics you'll know what it looks like. The wires are in a little groove going around the ring, which the clear one doesn't have. So I don't think I can just swap it over.

If you're going to try this too, you might not be able to because of this. Or maybe you'll do something awesome to make it work and I can copy ;)
Right now I might just use this relay to put a delay on the roof light. Might as well use it for something..
 
oh so your clear one doesnt have a wire loop?? Gotcha.

Hahaha fail. Also some CEs come with them clear and so do some magnas. Just pinch one from there, thats what i did. Im unsure what models came with tho. Just look for clear rings.

Ah right, hmm maybe one day, i've never even been to a wreckers before haha

I may happen to have a clear ring to suit CE with imob. wire loop. if i can find it its your for $15??
 
waaa 15, really? include postage with it and ill have it. if you can find it can you show a pic of it, like with the wires going to it? I wanna see that cuz im not so good connecting wires if theres not much to play with. You can see in the pic of mine that green wire is connected up in a really weird way...
 
Aight, ill have a dig tomorrow lol.

The wires join exactly as your factory black one. and it has the wires with the plug on the end. ill take a pic. It looks exact same buy clear.

My way is simple.....if the wire is too short, pull it hard and two things will happen: A. You take up slack and end up with additional length to work with or B. The whole cable pulls out and you are forced to rewire the entire unit with as much length as you like :p

Nope its like a thermoplug, it detects UV light and initiates the cyclic reductor. LOL yer its a plug, will plug straight into your stock one. Like i said, its the exact same except clear plastic. LOL
 
Hi. Does anyone know where i can get one of these? It's impossible to find online and also i'd like find the relay as well.
