Immobiliser Kit. The installation shown in Fig. 1 provides the facility to only allow the engine to be
started by the holder of a unique iButton which has been pre-congured to work with your Bulldog
TR36 on a KEYSTART IGNITION. For a PUSH BUTTON start see Fig. 2.
IMPORTANT: Unused wires on the Bulldog TR36 - you must ensure that the end of any ununsed wires
are not touching any other wires, terminals or chassis. It is recommended that insulation tape is
wrapped around the end of each wire.
Once wiring is complete, mount the Bulldog TR36 in a hidden location under the dashboard and
securely attach the Bulldog TR36 and Immobiliser wiring harness to avoid them becoming dislodged.
Do not mount in the engine bay or other area where it can get wet; next to radio equipment; between
metal cavities in the vehicle or other parts of the vehicle where interference may be caused such as
