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.

4.2 Keyless Entry (PKE & App)

The system offers two forms of keyless entry:

PKE (Passive Keyless Entry) with Remote Key: The remote key with PKE function allows the doors to unlock automatically when you approach the vehicle.
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.
