Purchasing a Keyless Entry, Alarm or Remote Starter System? You may need an additional Bypass and/or Interface Kit to Complete the Installation...

For more than the past ten years car manufacturers have slowly introduced their own versions of "Anti-Theft" systems. From a "chip" you could clearly see in the blade of the key, to a more sophisticated "Transponder" system, these effective anti-theft circuits inhibit the flow of fuel to the engine when other means of starting the vehicle is attempted rather than using the owners original key... including remote starters.

Vehicle's with any type of OEM anti-theft system will prevent any brand of remote starter system from starting the vehicle without the aid of the appropriate interface kit. These additional interface kit's are needed to momentarily "bypass" the factory anti-theft system to allow remote starting of the vehicle. Furthermore, with these interface kit's, except when you are remote starting the vehicle, the factorys' anti-theft system stays intact, fully active, and still covered by your manufacturers warranty.

O.E.M. anti-theft systems are not the only possible circuit in some vehicle's that may need an additional interface kit to allow an "aftermarket" (not installed at the factory) system to work properly. Although not as commonly found in most vehicle's as factory anti-theft systems are, some vehicle's require interface kits, to enable an aftermarket installed system with remote keyless entry to control the vehicles existing power door lock/unlock circuit. These types of door lock systems, commonly called "multiplexed" or "data bus" circuits, are O.E.M. design advancements that were made to reduce the amount of wiring needed in a vehicle along with the voltages needed to control them. When O.E.M. circuits similar to this exist in your vehicle, an interface kit is needed to enable your aftermarket system to control these circuits properly.

You can also contact your local dealerships' parts department and using your vehicles' VIN#, ask the parts dept. if your vehicle has a standard key or if it requires a special transponder key that needs to be programmed to the vehicle. Vehicles with keys that need to be programmed to the vehicle will need the additional bypass kit.
