4.1 Important Considerations
- Vehicle Compatibility: This system is compatible with 95% of DC12V petrol vehicles. It is NOT compatible with vehicles that have an OEM original factory push-button start system.
- Steering Lock: If your vehicle has a steering lock, it must be released before installing this system. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included wiring diagram for this procedure.
- Chip Immobilizer: An extra bypass module is required if your car's factory OEM key fob (remote) contains a chip immobilizer.
- Diesel Vehicles: For diesel vehicles with an engine starting time exceeding 3 seconds, it is recommended to turn on the dashboard (ACC ON) first to pre-warm the spark plugs before starting the car. Alternatively, an extra timer delay switch can be added.
4.2 Antenna Installation Positions
Proper placement of the antennas is crucial for optimal performance of the PKE and alarm functions. Refer to the diagram below for recommended installation positions:
Figure 3: Antenna installation positions. Choose P1 or P2 for the high-frequency antenna.
4.3 Push Start Button Options
The system comes with various push start button styles. The default is P2. Ensure the selected button fits your vehicle's dashboard and aesthetic preferences.

4.4 Professional Installation
Due to the complexity of car electrical systems, professional installation by a qualified car alarm installer is highly recommended. This ensures correct wiring, optimal performance, and avoids potential damage to your vehicle or the system.
