IMPORTANT IF NOT USING XPRESSKEY:
Before installing, inform the customer that one of the vehicle's coded keys must be used in the installation and installed
permanently in the unit. If a new key is purchased at the dealer, make sure to code the new key to the factory
immobilizer or have the dealer do this. In many vehicles, the new key must be coded at the dealer.
IMPORTANT:
It is also the installer's responsibility to inform the customer of the following: If they wish to have additional keys
programmed to the vehicle's immobilizer system, certain vehicle manufacturers require that all programmed keys be
reprogrammed at the time the new key is added. In this case, it would be necessary to remove the already programmed
key or XPRESSKEY from the TBXKEY module to reprogram it.

This installation method will only work with immobilizer systems that have a two wire factory
antenna harness. This alternate interface method is not guaranteed to work with all immobilizer
systems due to differences in transponder systems but one of the best choice for European
vehicles. It is meant to provide the installer with an alternative interface method for most two-wire
transponder ring systems.
Alternative installation of antenna loop
