Ohhh thanks so much, would have completely miss that last step ;)
Hi again, so confused as have had both the alarm and immobilizer disarmed/disabled and it’s been wonderful as could still lock the car with the fob! But tonight i locked the car with the fob and came back and the fob would not work to open the doors and when opened manually got the “engine disabled” message and had to use ekg code to get in…how on earth is this possible if the immobilizer is disabled? thanks for your thoughts! ~d

Did you have need for EKA code turned off as well. Usually with Nanocom you turn off immobiliser and EKA but leave alarm

The Alarm should not have been disabled, it should be the Immobiliser and EKA that are disabled.
If you lock with the FOB and unlock with the key, it is still possible to get Engine Disabled, but simply re-locking and unlocking with the key will clear the message.

Hi, wasn’t aware that turning off eka was an option. If that was left on and immobilizer is off would that for sure be enough to trigger the “engine disabled”? as i assumed that msg was only a function of the immobilizer…

It would not be the trigger, your use of the key did that but leaving EKA enabled meant you had to use EKA to clear the message, see post #23.

Got it thank you. Is there a down side to having all 3 off? If so would engine disable still happen if locked with fob but unlock with key?
