This helps to identify unauthorized transmitters from accessing your vehicle. If you believe an unauthorized transmitter has been programmed to your system, contact your installing dealer for assistance.

If the user chooses to use Custom Code Override, Feature Bank 2, Feature 9 must be programmed for "Custom Code". Once the option has been selected, the code must be programmed. Once the Custom Code is programmed, it cannot be changed without first disarming the alarm.

Custom Code Override Procedure

3. Within 5 seconds, Turn the ignition OFF/ON.
4. Within 5 seconds, Press the [button] 1 time.

2. Within 10 seconds, press the [button] 3 times to enter programming.
3. Within 10 seconds, Cycle the ignition OFF/ON, OFF/ON, OFF/ON. The system will beep 1 time.

5. Within 10 seconds, Cycle the ignition OFF/ON.
6. Within 10 seconds, Press the [button] 3 times. This number will indicate the second digit of the chosen Custom Code.
7. Cycle the ignition OFF.

If the Custom Code was accepted, the LED will flash the first number (e.g., 2), pause, then the second number (e.g., 3). This will repeat 2 more times to confirm the Custom Code entry. If after 15 seconds the LED does not flash, please repeat steps 1-7.
