required for the installation. Special tools and/or special requirements
maybe necessary depending on type of system.
2.3 Verify the vehicle's electrical functions and disconnect the ground wire
(- terminal) from the vehicle’s battery when working with wiring. To
avoid accidents, it is recommended to pull out related fuses from
sockets before installation, and put them back during the very last
steps. Do not begin work if unsure of the vehicle's state and/or
condition.
2.4 Only locate necessary wires related to the installation (most required
wiring are under driver dash/kick panel areas) and connect to the unit
according to the included wiring diagram. Use a multimeter to verify
and confirm signal wires before connecting or disconnecting. We
strictly prohibit testing or modifying the vehicle’s ECU, airbag and ABS
system.
2.5 Once the control unit is connected, begin function tests only after
verifying and ensuring all wires have been connected correctly and
insulated properly. Do not power up the module before it is properly
grounded. Should the unit be powered before being grounded, serious
damage to internal components might occur.

4Door Locking System Wiring
ABOUT YOUR DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM
All power door locking systems have switches to activate doors. These
switches are usually located on the door or center console. Your door lock
switch will have at least 2 trigger wires, one for locking your doors called the
LOCK wire, and one for unlocking your doors called the UNLOCK wire.
You can refer to your vehicle’s electrical service manual for details on
location and color coding of Locking/Unlocking wires or you can find them
by tracing the wires from the door switches.
When you push your door lock switch to "lock", your LOCK wire establishes
a connection to either a negative or a positive source, this will be the signal
to your vehicle’s ECU to trigger locking signal to the door lock actuator to
lock. Vice versa when you push “unlock” door switch.
Negative and Positive triggers are the two main types of door locking
systems. On a negative trigger system your LOCK and UNLOCK wire uses
(-) negative sources to signal the vehicle when you activate unlock or lock.
In a positive trigger system, your LOCK and UNLOCK wire uses (+) positive
sources to signal the vehicle when you activate unlock or lock.
There are various types of central locking systems, please verify and
confirm the type of door locking system either by multimeter testing and/or
through your vehicle’s dealer technical support department. Advanced keys
holds no responsibility for damage to your vehicle by incorrect electrical
connections.
4.1 Negative Triggered Door Locking System
You can directly connect the (-)LOCK and (-)UNLOCK wires from the unit to
your door locking system’s LOCK/UNLOCK signal wires.

4.2 Positive & Positive/Negative Triggered Door Locking System
Use two additional relays and connect the wires according to the following
figure:

About Door Switch
These switches are used to check to see if the doors are open or closed. To
verify the type of door switches for your vehicle, shut off the interior lights
first, then open the driver side’s door, keeping the other doors closed; Then
check the voltage, firstly if the voltage is ground and becomes positive
voltage when the door is closed, then it should be negative trigger type.
Conversely, if the voltage is positive with the door open and ground when
closed, then the door should be a positive trigger type. If the system is
positive trigger type, use a flat head screwdriver and carefully pry the
control unit open and change the jumper set in the control unit according
the Wiring Diagram.
Generally, most vehicles have an overall signal wire which will trigger a
signal no matter which door is opened. Some vehicle’s doors have separate
signals (one wire per door) therefore it’s needed to connect the signal wires
through diodes (Like model: 1N4001) according to the following figures:
