Note 11: Remote Coding Procedure
To code the remote to the system you must have; both 12v+ constant wires, the ground wire, and the ignition wire of the system connected to the vehicle. You must have the antenna connected to the main
controller as well. After you have connected these wires or more, follow these steps to code a remote to the system. Please read through the steps before beginning.

1. Cycle the key in the ignition from the “Off” position to the “On” position 5 times. This must be done within 5 seconds. The 5

time you turn the ignition on, you will hear the parking light

relay “click”. This will happen the moment the ignition is turned on the 5

time so it is easy to miss the first relay click. If you hear two relay clicks, the system has just exited remote

coding mode.

2. Right after cycling the ignition for the 5

time and receiving the first relay click:

1-Way Remote:

Tap the lock button on the remote for 0.5 seconds.

2-Way Remote:

Tap button I for 0.5 seconds

3. After pressing the button on the remote, you will hear the parking light relay click once to indicate that it has accepted the remote. If you have other remotes to program to the system, repeat

step 2 for each remote you have, one after the other. Each system can accept three remotes with the exception of the SS Pro.

Remote Coding – under Secure Valet – Option 3-10-III

If you elect Option 3-10-III, you can code remotes when you put the system into Secure Valet. Upon entering the secure valet code, you will hear the parking light relay click. Program a remote or remotes
until you hear two relay clicks. See the note later in this manual regarding Secure Valet, Option 3-10.
