3. Setup and Installation
Installation of the GIORDON MP900-2 system requires knowledge of automotive electrical systems. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional to ensure proper functionality and to avoid damage to your vehicle.
3.1 Compatibility
This system is compatible with approximately 95% of DC12V compact cars, sedans, coupes, SUVs, and pick-up trucks on the market. However, it is not compatible with all vehicles.

- Using Remote Key: The key start engine sensing distance is approximately 50-150 meters. Refer to your remote key's specific button combination for remote start.
- Using Smartphone App: Open the GIORDON app on your Android or iOS device and select the remote start option.

- App Keyless Entry: The smartphone app can also unlock the doors when your phone approaches the car within 2-5 meters. This feature replaces the need for a physical key for entry.
