Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Time Stamp?
The Time Stamp is the current date, which the PassTime unit uses (along with other things,
such as the serial number) to create all codes. The unit’s Time Stamp must match the
computer’s time stamp and must be set before a payment code can be accepted. Typically,
you need to set the Time Stamp only during the initial installation or if power has been
removed from the unit for more than five days.
To set the unit for the number of days needed, the dealer must enter two codes when
initializing the unit: the Set Date code followed by a payment code.
Why do you need the serial number?
In addition to the Time Stamp, the system also uses a serial number to generate codes, which
are specific to the unit’s serial number. In order to generate a code for a unit, you must have
the serial number of that unit. The serial number is located on the top of the unit, and each
unit comes with an addition serial number label for the car visor or door jam.
Can I program a specific number of warning days?
The unit can be programmed for a specific number of warning days. When programming a
unit, you will be prompted to enter a number of regular days, warning days, and emergency
days. You can program up to 90 regular days, 90 warning days and nine emergency days.
When the unit enters the warning period, it will sound the warning alert every time the
vehicle is started and turned off. The last day before unit is disabled, it will emit a different
“French Ambulance” warning.
Does the unit comply with Right to Cure laws?
The PassTime™ Code Generator incorporates the Right to Cure parameters for each state.
The unit’s warning period will be programmed to correspond with the state’s Right to Cure
laws. Please note that it is an additional feature that must be turned on in the dealer’s site.
Can you permanently turn off the anti-theft system?
You can turn off the Anti-Theft feature by generating and entering a specific RF code. This
was instituted for dealer or rental agencies not interested in the anti-theft system.
Can the device be installed on a diesel car?
You can put the unit in Diesel mode to accommodate the delayed start in a diesel vehicle with
the Anti-Theft portion of the PassTime™ device. To do so, generate a Turn On Diesel Mode
code from the user interface.
How do I enter a Reset code?
You must be in the car with a PassTime™ remote to enter a Reset code. Press the CLEAR
button; then enter the 15-digit code. The unit will respond with a positive tone upon
completion.
How do I enter a Payment code?
You must be in the car with a PassTime™ remote to enter a payment code. Press the PAY
