1. Safety Information
Important: Installation of this car alarm system requires professional expertise. It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a certified or trained car alarm installer to ensure proper function and prevent damage to your vehicle. Incorrect installation can lead to system malfunction, vehicle damage, or safety hazards.
If your vehicle has a factory OEM key fob with a chip immobilizer, an additional bypass module (e.g., ASIN: B00MEHBVIC or B07NSLPBG7) is required. This product is not compatible with vehicles that already have an OEM push start button. Do not install on luxury cars such as BMW or Benz, as specific plug-and-play versions may be available for these models.
