Method 1: Immobilizer interface with OEM Immob. Receiver
Push-To-Start (PTS)
NOTE:
- Your OEM remote may differ from the model shown in the illustrations.
- Remove Battery from OEM FOB prior to performing the Key Wrap.
- Make 4-6 loops and place them around the front of the plastic body of the vehicle's coded key as shown above.
- Test and secure mounted loop before reassembling the vehicle.
Note: OEM immobilizer receiver is located
on the underside of the steering column,
where the ignition switch would normally be.
IMPORTANT!: Not all OEM keys can be inserted in 556U because of their size.
Make sure the key will fit, otherwise it is recommended to use a different method.
