SYSTEM OVERVIEW:
Your Key to Keyless Intelligent Push Button Start system consists of:
Ignition Control Module (ICM), Start Button with LED & Gasket, three
Power Harnesses & one Programming Switch and two system Key
Fob Transmitters.
The systems Key Fob is a motion activated RFID device that
automatically communicates with the Ignition Control Module as you
move within proximity of your vehicle, (Typically about 10 feet). Each
Key Fob is completely unique with over 6 billion different codes. A
single Key Fob can be programmed into multiple vehicles allowing its
user to operate all his / her vehicles, motorcycles, boats or other toys
by carrying just one Key Fob
The Ignition Control Module (ICM) provides two functions, it
communicates with the system Key Fob(s) and provides switching
operations for your Ignition, Accessory and Starter circuits.
Basic installation consists of; mounting and connecting the Start
Button, mounting the ICM under your dash. Connecting the 3 or 4 wires
from your vehicles Ignition switch to the ICM along with any Accessory
Harness connections appropriate for your particular installation. Then
lastly, testing your system.

There are a few different ways to install Your Key to Keyless system:
New Ignition Installations:
On a fresh build where you are installing all your wiring from
scratch, installation is as easy as wiring in a traditional Ignition
switch. Generous harness lengths allow for great freedom
of choice of module and Start button placement. Your Key to
Keyless Intelligent Push Button Start even lets you choose
how you would like to congure the systems operation. *See
Installation Diagrams
Custom, Hotrod or Vintage vehicles:
The Key to Keyless Intelligent Push Button Start adds an
elegant touch of technology to any vehicle. Our advanced and
versatile design using only professionally quality components
lets your Key to Keyless t right into the most elite vehicles.
Straight forward easy to understand directions make replacing a
traditional Ignition key system an afternoon’s project.
Newer Vehicle: (with a locking steering column or security “chip” keys)
Rather then connecting every wire of a modern ignition switch,
the Key to Keyless Intelligent Push Button Start can be installed
as an “Ignition Switch Controller” on most newer vehicles.
This simple two wire installation allows your Key to Keyless
to control all ignition operations through the existing switch. It
completely eliminates any need to use a key to start your vehicle,
while leaving the existing locking steering column or manufacturer
security key systems in place. *See “Newer Vehicle Discussion” (pg
10) and “EZ Installation” (pg 15).
SYSTEM OPERATION:
Operating your KEY TO KEYLESS is designed to be absolutely effortless.
When you approach your vehicle, the system, upon reading your valid Key
FOB will pre-authorize your vehicles ignition system to start.
TO START:
Place your foot on the Brake, then depress of the Start Button and your
starter will begin to “crank” and continue until the button is released. The
Start Button LED will glow while your vehicle is running.
TO STOP YOUR ENGINE:
Place your foot on the Brake, Push and HOLD the Start Button for 2
seconds and your engine will shut off.

THE START BUTTON:
Generally mounted in the vehicle dash or
center console, the “Start Button” provides
one touch operation of your vehicles ignition
system. Designed to mimic a natural “starting
feel”. The starter will continue to crank as long
as the Start Button is depressed. If you fail to
start your vehicle during the rst crank you may
need to push the start button twice to re-initiate
the “Crank” mode.

stalled in ididit’s Tilt Column)
THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE (ICM):
IMPORTANT Always mount the ICM inside of your vehicle, DO NOT
mount in the engine compartment!
The KEY TO KEYLESS ICM
provides two functions. It
contains the systems receiver
and reader components that
handle communication between
your vehicle and the Key FOB.
Secondly, the ICM houses a group
of high current 60 AMP Relays that
provide all switching operations for
the Ignition, Accessory and Starter circuits. By bringing all the system relays
on board KEY TO KEYLESS eliminates the “spaghetti look” of hand wiring
multiple external relays.
(ididit’s ICM)
All wires are professionally terminated using Molex® high current connectors
that plug and lock securely to the ICM. Independent switching of accessories
allows KEY TO KEYLESS to be congured in several different ways: One
Accessory circuit can be turned OFF during starter “crank” to reduce battery
load while your Ignition circuit stays ON.

THE KEY FOB:
Key FOB’s represent the latest
innovation in security technology.
Each Key FOB is completely unique,
with over 6 billion different code
combinations. FOBs can be switched
to operate in either Automatic or
Manual modes giving you complete
control of how and when the system
arms and disarms. Key FOBs have 3 adjustable range level settings and
include a two stage low battery indicator.
Function of buttons:
There are two buttons on the
fob, each of these has different
functions.
Button 1: This is a remote
function that can be used to perform
an auxilary function. To use this
button push and hold the button
until the desired action takes place.
This can be either a momentary
function or a latching function. This
is currently set up as a momentary signal, but it can be changed in the feature
select mode.

2.
Button 2: This button is used to authorize the ignition system when in
Manual mode. Button 2 is also used when programming new FOB’s.
Being able to select whether the Key FOB operates in Manual or Automatic
mode allows you to control what features YOU want to operate at a car show
while still keeping your vehicle completely protected.
Key FOBs are powered by an easily replaceable extended life lithium battery
that typically lasts one year. Up to 5 unique Key FOBs can be programmed into
each system, additionally a single Key FOB can be programmed into multiple
vehicles allowing its user to operate all his / her vehicles, motorcycles, boats
or other toys by carrying just one Key FOB. Ruggedly made from high impact
material, Key FOBs reliably perform rst time every time.
Key FOB Batteries:
Key FOBs are powered by long life CR2030 Lithium disk battery that provides
a typical life of 1 year+. Battery replacement is simple and replacement
batteries are available at most drug stores.

MANUAL & AUTOMATIC MODES:
The KEY TO KEYLESS Intelligent Push Button
Start has two modes of operation “Manual” and
“Automatic”.
In “Automatic” mode the functions of Enabling or Disabling your ignition
occur without any action on your part, other then having the Key FOB present.
In “Manual” mode the Key FOB Button 2 ( ) must be pushed to transmit
the code to disarm the system.
Manual operation may be desirable at various times, initially during installation
and set up, (because it allows you to specically test operation without Key
FOB range being a factor). Secondly, you may want to put the system into
Manual mode at times when are near your vehicle but do not want the system
to disarm, such as at a car show. Changing between modes is accomplished
through a simple sequence of pushes of the Key FOB button.
The Key FOB LED provides visual status of which “mode” the system is in:
“Manual” or “Automatic”
Note: Key FOBs are shipped in Manual mode.
You will want to keep your Key FOBs in manual mode until you have completed
your system installation. Once you have completed initial system testing, you
will switch your Key FOBs into “Automatic” mode for nal testing and be able
to use your system in a “Hands Free” manner.
If you purchased a “Spare” Key FOB and plan to store it as a back up, storing it in
Manual mode will preserve battery life.
To “Check” which mode you are in Manual or Automatic:
1. Simultaneously push and hold BOTH the buttons on the Key FOB until the
LED goes OUT. (Approximately 6 seconds)
2. When you release the buttons the Key FOB will tell you what mode it is in
by ashing either 3 or 5 times.
3 Flashes = Automatic Mode 5 Flashes = Manual Mode
To “Change” from Manual mode to Automatic mode:
Repeat the same sequence as you did to check the mode, BUT after the
Key FOB nishes its “3 or 5 Flash Back” QUICKLY push both buttons again
and look for the LED to “Flicker”. The icker will conrm the mode has been
changed. Modes toggle from Manual to Auto then back again. If you are ever
unsure if you completed a mode change you can always do a “mode check”.

KEY FOB LEARNING MODE:
The KEY TO KEYLESS has the ability to learn up to 5 unique Key FOB Tags.
Should you ever want to add an additional FOB for a spare or replacement,
you can use the following instructions to program a new FOB(s) into your
system.
*** Note: If you have lost all FOB to your system and need to add a
replacement FOB, you will need to gain access to the system by rst
using the “Emergency Bypass” sequence, then proceed into “FOB
Learning Mode”
To enter “Key FOB Learning Mode”, rst put system in Accessory Mode
by pressing the start button one time without putting your foot on the brake.
Once in Accessory Mode, put your foot on the brake and continually hold it
down.
Next, press the programming Button 10 times. The LED should begin ashing
fast then turn ON solid.
Next, (Within 5 seconds) push and hold down the Lock button of the 1st Key
FOB you wish to program into the systems. The Start Button LED will ashe
3 times indicating the Key FOB has been learned.
Once you see the 3 ashes you can add additional Key FOBs using the
same method up to a total of 5 Key FOBs per system. When you have
added all Key FOBs you wish to add to the system, simply wait. The system
will automatically exit the Key FOB Learning mode 5 seconds after your last
FOB was added to the system. The LED will again begin a long ashing fast
sequence indicating the system has exited Programming Mode. Just cycle
out of Accessory mode to return to normal operation.
