How does the Smart Key system work?
With our Smart Key system installed, you simply walk up to the
car and your doors will unlock, walk away and your doors will
re-lock. If you forget to shut the doors the system will remind
you. If you have the Push-Start module then you have the added
ability of pushing a button rather than turning a key to start
and stop your vehicle, all without taking out the key.
How do I wire the system into my car?
You can download the installation manuals from our website to
have your installer complete any pre-work necessary to install
our systems. Installation is the same as a typical car alarm
system or remote start system if you have the push-start system;
however, professional installation is required.
Can I use my own button with your push button module?
No. Our Push-Start system come with a OEM Toyota/Lexus Push
Button. The connector of the push button module only connects
with our pushbutton and has special wiring for LED lighting
built into the button. It is possible to create your own button
and interface to our push button module however it is not recommended
nor supported.
Do I need anything else to install Smart Key and Push-Start
system?
Yes. If your car uses an immobilizer system (chip in your key)
then you will require a Bypass device. A bypass device tells
the car’s computer to valid key is present when a access key
is within range. A bypass can be purchased from www.iDataLink.com
. Lastly you will need to disable your steering wheel lock,
please consult the rest of the website or contact us for more
information.
What is are good places to mount the antenna(s)?
We recommend placing the antenna on or under the instrument
panel or dashboard away from any metallic part of the vehicle.
If this isn’t possible then find a location that is not near
any metal (2.5 cm or 1 inch) and less likely to be shielded
by the vehicle body. Some other alternative locations are; Side
Rear View Mirrors, Steering Housing (behind steering wheel)
and Instrument Panel Side Cover. Adjust position according to
your preference.
What type of interference should I watch out for?
Do not place the access key on top of metal, carrying metallic
keys near the access key is acceptable. Electronic noise from
sources like Smart Phone, microwaves, vacuums, drills, etc can
cause interference with our system as well as other vehicle’s
malfunctioning Smart Key systems.
Is this system secure?
Absolutely! Mutual Authentication, Rolling Code and Inter-Module
Encryption making this systems very secure.
Is my car supported? Has this system been installed
on my type of car before?
