Additional Ports Antenna / LED / Programming Port Mount the supplied antenna/receiver to a clear spot on the vehicle's windshield that will not block the driver's vision. A good location is usually high on the windshield near the rear view mirror. Be careful not to mount the antenna/receiver on any metallic window film, as this will effect system range. Route the antenna/ receiver cable to the control module and plug into the antenna port.
Set Up & Programming Transmitter Programming - Feature Bank 1 1. Turn the ignition ON. 2. Press and hold the valet/override button. 3. Within 10 seconds the system will chirp (3) three times. 4. Press 1 button of each transmitter you wish to program. 5. The system will respond with 1 chirp for each accepted transmitter. 6. Pressing the override button at anytime during programming will advance to the next bank. NOTE: The system will exit transmitter programming after 15 seconds of inactivity.
Defaulting All Features: Pressing the button anytime while in any of the feature banks will default all features and return you to feature bank 2 - 4 chirps. NOTE: The system will remain in feature programming mode as long as the ignition is on, there is no time limit. To exit programming turn the IGNITION OFF. Feature Bank 1 - 3 Chirps Transmitter Programming Refer to transmitter programming.
