YOUR “CODE HOPPING“ 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 retransmit at a later time to unlock your system.
Your code hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the button is pressed,
so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the system will not respond.
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.
