WARNING AND SAFETYINFORMATION
•Carefully read and understand the User Manual, Installation Guide and
Electrical Service Information for the subjected vehicle before begin work.
•Install in a well-lit, dry, covered area away from the elements and keep at least
one window open all time during installation. Do not leave key inside ignition
switch and /or detection range. Prepare all tools required forthe installation.
Special tools maybe necessary depending on vehicle.
•Verify the vehicle hasproper grounding and does not have any outstanding
electrical/functional issue prior to installation.
•To avoid short circuit, it is recommended to pull-out related fuses before
installation and put them back when installation is complete.
•Only locate necessary wires related to the installation (most required wiring are
under driver dash/kick panel areas) andconnect to the unit according to the
wiring diagram. Use a Multimeter to verify and confirm
before connecting or disconnecting. We strictly prohibit testing or modifying
systems.
•Begin function tests on the system after verifying and ensuring all wires have
been connected correctly and insulatedproperly.
PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
DO NOT power up the module beforeit is properly grounded.
Shouldthe unit be powered beforebeing grounded, serious
damage tointernalcomponentscould occur.

INSTALLATION NOTES
•For vehicles equipped with factory or aftermarket alarm/remote start, it is
possible to install this system without the anti-theft alarmand remote start
functions. (Refer to User Manual on how to disable Alarm Function) Connect
BATTERY, GROUND, LOCK, UNLOCK, ACC, BRAKE and ANTENNAS for
Smart Keyless Entry function only.
•Ensure the ACC(+) input is connected. It is required for remote-start function
Avoid leavingthe Smart Key inside or near the detection range for extended
periods of time, for it will remain in constant communication with the controller
•It is recommended to connect the DOOR SWITCH input to the vehicle. This
system will have a better remote sensing performance when it is aware of the
door status.

ANTENNAS INSTALLATION
Antennasshould be mounted on a Non-Enclosed and Non-Metallic material
such as clear glass or plastic trim panels. Recommended placements for the
Front-Antenna is on the top-left corner of the front windshield and bottom-left
corner of the rear windshield for the Rear-Antenna. The Bypass-Antenna can be
placedaround the edge of the front windshield so it can sense the Bypass
Transponder Card within one inch away from outside of the vehicle. Do not place
antenna in locations that will be shield by metallic material.
Test for coverage and range after installation to determine the optimal locations
for the antennas. You may adjust antenna positions to other possible placement
locations asillustrated in the diagram. Use double sided tape to secure antennas
after final positions are confirmed.
Ignition-Controlled Door Lock
Enabled by default and controlled by Brake input, this function will provide:
•Auto Door Locking when ACC is turned ON while brake is applied.
•Auto Door Re-Locking when brake applied after door opened-then-closed.
•Auto Door Unlocking when ACC is OFF.
To disable Ignition-Controlled Door Lock feature, press and hold the brake pedal
when powering ON the controller. Horn output will sound 2x if this feature is
disabled or 1x if this feature enabled.

FAQ
Whyis key detection not working or the range is very sort?
Verify antenna position: Antenna may be on or close to metallic material, change
position to verify range sensitivity. Check antenna wiring, do not pull on the
antenna wires, make sure connectors are firmly seated. If remote failed to work
both in proximity and manually press the buttons, follow key programming
procedure to relearn all keys.
What does each LED color status mean?
See User Manual for more information on LED status detail.
How to install this system without the alarm function?
See User Manual for more information on disable alarm function.
How to enable/disable automatic door locking/unlocking function?

section to enable/disable this function.
How does Remote Start button on the Smart Key remote work?
Remote Start function require installing the optional Advanced Keys Push-Start
System (AK-PSB05). Press the remote start button will send a remote start
signal to the Push-Start Module via the Push-Start Module Control output. Please
refer to Push-Start Installation manual for more info on remote start the vehicle.

If required, use the following procedures to program a new set of Smart Key
and/or Bypass Transponder Cards. Both set of Smart Keys or the Bypass
Transponder Cards must be present and accessible during programming.
Enter Programming Mode
Disarm the system by a valid Smart Key or Bypass Transponder Card. Turn the
Ignition Key to the ACC position. After few seconds switch the Ignition Key to
OFF position and immediately back to ACC position for five times or as following:
OFF ACC OFF ACC OFF ACC OFF ACC OFF ACC. Keep the Ignition
Key in ACC position at the fifth time and the horn will sound twice. (Turn the
Ignition Key to OFF position at any time will exit the programming mode with horn
sound three times)
Smart Key(s) Programming
1. After enter the SmartKey programming mode, LED indicator turns RED. You have
30 seconds windowto program. If you do not wish to program Smart Keys, press
the brake pedal once to skipto BypassTransponder Cardsprogramming (Horn
will sound once to confirm)
2. Press and hold the LOCK button on thefirst SmartKey until horn soundonce.
3. Press and hold the LOCK button on thesecond Smart Keyuntil horn soundonce.
4. Smart Keys programming is nowcompleted. System willautomatically enter
Bypass Transponder Cards programming mode.
Bypass Transponder Cards Programming
1. After enter the BypassTransponder Card programming mode, LED indicator
turns BLUE. You have 12 secondswindowto program. To skip Bypass
Transponder Cardsprogramming, press the brake pedal once will end the
programming mode with horn sound five(5) times.
2. Holdfirst BypassTransponder Cardagainst thereadingfield of the Backup
Antenna until the horn sound once.
3. Repeat for the second Bypass Transponder Card until the horn sound five(5)
times to indicate keyprogramming has been successfully completed.
Note: Only one Bypass Transponder Card should be sensed in the reading field
at a time. The sensing range for the Bypass Antenna is under an inch.
