4. Installation
The EC211PP-BM2-NFC-B system is designed for semi plug & play installation. However, it requires connecting some wires. Due to the complexity and the need to integrate with the vehicle's immobilizer system, professional installation by a trained staff or alarm installer is strongly recommended.
Important Installation Notes:
- Bypass Module: One factory original key fob is required to be placed inside the bypass module. This is essential for the system to manage the car's chip immobilizer.
- Wiring: While semi plug & play, specific wire connections are necessary. Refer to the detailed wiring diagram provided with the product for precise connections.
- Testing: After installation, thoroughly test all functions (remote start, PKE, NFC, lock/unlock) before fully reassembling the vehicle's interior.
