INTRODUCTION 

 

 

The contents of this product include everything

 

needed to replace the function of a 

keyed ignition switch with a simple push button.  From entry-level vehicles to high-end 
exotics

this same push button feature can be found on many of today’s newer cars. By 

carefully working your way through this instruction manual, you will be able to retro fit 
your classic or modern vehicle with some of today’s new vehicle technology.  
 
 

The Phantom Key module completely eliminates your vehicles ignition switch and 

allows the operator of the vehicle to operate the ON and START functions with the 
simple push of a button. 
 
 

The key fob communicates with the Phantom Key module as you approach or walk 

away from the vehicle. RFID technology allows the push button ignition switch to 
operate only for the owner/user of the vehicle. Simply carry one of the key fob IDs with 
you, as you come into proximity of the vehicle with the Phantom Key installed, the 
module verifies your ID, and becomes active allowing the push button to work. This 
proximity is about 10 feet. In the same sense, when the key fob ID moves out of the 
proximity of the vehicle the module becomes inactive, and the push button does not 
operate. 

See the “

PROGRAMMABLE MODES

” portion of this manual for details on 

automatic and manual modes of identification from the key fob. 
 
 

Each key fob ID is unique so a key fob from another Phantom key system will not 

work with the module found in your Phantom key kit unless it is programmed to your 
module. See the 

PROGRAMMABLE MODES

” portion on this manual for details. This 

assures you, the end user, that the security of your vehicle with the Phantom key 
system installed cannot be compromised. However, a single key fob can be 
programmed to multiple vehicles allowing someone to operate their car, truck, boat, RV, 
etc all with one key fob if each vehicle has a Phantom key module installed.
