YOUR “ANTI-CODE GRABBING“ TRANSMITTERS

The transmitters included with your new remote start system use the most advanced and
secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive remote
system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a device known as a code grabber,
which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter, and re-transmit at a
later time to unlock your system.
Y our anti-code grabbing transmitters will change their signal every time the button is pressed,
so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the system
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of the
vehicle (children playing with your keys), the transmitter will not operate when you return
to the vehicle, and will need to be re-aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press the
lock/unlock button two times within a one second time period. The system will now respond
to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.
For reference the transmitter packaged with your APS-685 may not appear exactly as
shown below. This depiction is for reference only.

KEYLESS ENTRY

1. To lock your vehicle, exit the vehicle, close all doors, hood and trunk, then simply press
the lock button of your keychain transmitter.To unlock your vehicle, simply press the
unlock button of your keychain transmitter. As a keyless entry unit, for your convenience,
the parking lights will flash once when the doors are locked and twice when the door are
unlocked. If the optional illuminated entry feature has been added, the interior light will turn
on when the doors are unlocked and remain on for 30 seconds or until the ignition is
turned on.
Holding the lock/unlock transmitter button for 3 seconds will activate the car finder mode
causing the parking lights to flash for 30 seconds or until the button is activated again for
3 seconds or any other button is operated.
NOTE: This system has the ability to unlock the drivers door with the first press of the

unlock transmitter button and then unlock all other doors when the unlock button is
pressed a second time.This optional feature may require additional components.
Consult your installation center to determine if this feature has been added to your
vehicle.
