4. Factory Anti-Theft Systems
Many vehicles come with an anti-theft system that must be temporarily bypassed for
the vehicle to be remotely started. Some systems use a resistor in the key. Others
use a transponder – a small device in the key that communicates a high security
code to the vehicle before the vehicle will successfully start.
Check the list of vehicles and the types of security systems. If your vehicle is listed,
your vehicle has an Anti-Theft System that the remote starter MUST temporarily
bypass in order to start the vehicle. More information about the factory anti-theft
systems and vehicle wire colors can be found at the DesignTech web site
www.designtech-intl.com.
The Universal Alarm Bypass Module #20402 or #29402 will temporarily bypass the
factory anti-theft systems when using the remote starter. Check with your local retailer/
installer to purchase this Universal Alarm Bypass Module.
