How to Disable the Anti-Theft System on a Zotye T600?

Locate the vehicle's fuse box, typically found in the engine compartment or glove compartment. Follow the instructions to find the anti-theft system computer fuse and remove it to cut off the power supply. If there is no fuse, locate the car's anti-theft system computer under the steering wheel and directly unplug the power cord connector. The anti-theft system will deactivate once the power is disconnected. If neither of the above methods works, open the trunk and then close and lock the car doors. Within 10 seconds, insert and remove the key more than six times to clear the ID stored in the key. Manually lock the driver's side door using the switch, then use the remote control to lock the car once. This will allow you to input a new ID into the computer. After opening the driver's side door, the anti-theft system will be deactivated.
Last time my T600's anti-theft system went haywire, it really freaked me out. Later I figured out that if the smart key runs out of battery or signal interference prevents detection, you can temporarily start it by using the physical key - just insert the mechanical key into the hidden keyhole under the steering wheel, turn it to the power-on position without ignition, wait about 30 seconds until the anti-theft light goes off, then you can start the engine. If it frequently acts up, it's most likely the body control module malfunctioning. I simply disconnected the negative battery terminal for ten minutes to let the system fully reboot, and it behaved normally afterward. However, if it's due to corroded wiring or a faulty module in the anti-theft control box, then you'll have to visit a 4S店 - they have diagnostic computers that can reprogram and match the keys.
