The "key barrel"?? I did not say that.

The "grain or rice" needs to be near the immobilizer antenna. Installing it on the rubber boot does that.
The locksmith who cut my keys told me that the Sheriff department and the CHP Take the immobilizer out of the keys on their new cars and SUVs and install near the antenna in the car. They need 3+ sets of key and they are not about to buy key with expensive immobilizers in them.

Dude, relax. Never said you mentioned the key barrel. I mentioned it. We’re talking same general area. I’ve heard of folks purging the pill on the barrel as opposed to the rubber surround.
