2. Setup and Installation
Important: Professional installation by a qualified technician is highly recommended due to the complexity of this system and its integration with vehicle electrical systems. Improper installation can lead to vehicle damage or system malfunction.
2.1. Package Contents
Verify that all components are present in the package:
- Main unit
- Push button
- Siren
- 2x Transmitters (remote controls)
- Shock sensor
2.2. Immobilizer Bypass Module
If your vehicle uses chip keys (an immobilizer system), an immobilizer bypass module (e.g., ASIN: B075TH5B91) is required for the remote engine start function to operate correctly. This module is sold separately and is not included with this system.
Alternatively, the user manual (page 7) describes a method for installers to bypass the chip without a dedicated bypass module. Consult the full user manual for detailed instructions on this procedure.

3.6. Window Closing Function
If a window closer module is installed in your vehicle, the system can be configured to automatically close windows upon arming.
4. Maintenance
The BANVIE Car Alarm System is designed for low maintenance. Regularly check the remote control batteries (CR2032) and replace them as needed to ensure reliable operation. Keep the main unit and sensors free from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
5. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your BANVIE Car Alarm System, consider the following:
- System Not Responding: Check remote control battery levels. Ensure the vehicle's main battery is charged.
- Remote Start Failure: Verify that an immobilizer bypass module is correctly installed if your car has chip keys. Ensure all doors are closed and the vehicle is in park.
- Alarm Triggers Randomly: Adjust the sensitivity of the shock sensor. Ensure the vehicle is not parked in an area prone to vibrations.
- Push Button Not Working: Check for proper wiring connections. Ensure the auto-lock feature is not active.
For complex issues or if you are unsure about any step, it is strongly advised to consult with a professional automotive technician. Attempting to repair or modify the system without proper knowledge can void the warranty and cause further damage.
