It is designed for most 12V vehicles, improves convenience, and adds an extra layer of access control via RFID tokens. Note: this system does not provide remote engine start, remote lock\/unlock, or change your factory door locking behavior; professional installation by a qualified car alarm installer is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the RFID authentication work to start my car?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit uses one or more RFID transponder tags that must be presented to the reader to arm or allow engine start. Only recognized transponders will enable the push-button start circuit, helping prevent unauthorized starts while keeping operation simple for authorized users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRFID transponder tags included for owner use and spares\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReader verifies tag before allowing push-button start\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo dependency on vehicle door locks or central locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with most DC12V ignition systems when correctly installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this kit replace my ignition key and affect my car’s immobilizer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EC004 replaces the key-turn start with a push-button, but it does not override factory immobilizers by itself. If your vehicle’s OEM key fob contains a chip immobilizer, an additional bypass module is required to work with that factory system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks as an ignition interface, not a remote immobilizer hack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdditional bypass module required for chip-immobilizer-equipped keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstaller must remove or release steering lock where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoes not interfere with existing door lock mechanisms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat functions are included and what is expressly excluded?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EC004 provides RFID-based arming\/disarming and push-to-start\/push-to-stop functionality only.
