4. Setup and Installation

The EASYGUARD EC211PP-BM2-NFC-D2-3 system is a CAN BUS version, but it still requires some wire connections. Due to the complexity of vehicle electronics and the need to integrate with the car's immobilizer system, professional installation by a trained staff or certified alarm installer is mandatory.

4.1 Key Fob Bypass Module Integration

One factory original key fob is required to be placed inside the bypass module. This is essential to manage the car's chip immobilizer system. The installation process involves soldering the factory original key's Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with the bypass module. This step ensures proper communication and functionality between the remote starter and your vehicle's security system.
