Keyless Entry Transmitters
The keyless entry transmitter used in the 2 Way Advanced Remote Start System is unique to the system. When servicing or replacing a transmitter, ensure that the correct transmitter is used. The correct transmitter part number can be found in the Accessory section of the parts catalog. Attempting to replace an 2 Way Advanced Remote Start transmitter with a regular service part may result in a failure to program the transmitter.
The keyless entry transmitters are used to lock and unlock the vehicle door while away from the immediate area of the vehicle. The 2 Way Advanced Remote Start System is designed to operate at distances of up to three times that of the factory remote start system. Up to 4 transmitters may be programmed to a single vehicle. A single 2 Way Advanced Remote Start transmitter may be programmed to two vehicles, provided both vehicle have the 2 Way Advanced Remote Start System installed.
The 2 Way Advanced Remote Start transmitter acts as both a transmitter and a receiver. As a transmitter, it sends commands which are received by the RCDLR. As a receiver, various vehicle information is received by the transmitter and displayed on the LCD.
The 2 Way Advanced Remote Start transmitter can display the following information on the LCD:
- Date and time (+/- 2 minutes)
- Current radio station settings
- Approximate fuel level
- Odometer (+/-1 mile)
- Tire pressure
To verify all LCD display segments are operating properly, pressing the left transmitter button for 10 seconds will briefly display all LCD segments. In some situations, it is possible for a transmitter to operate vehicle devices such as door lock or remote start, but is unable to receive information from the RCDLR for display on the LCD. This may be a normal occurrence based on conditions and no attempt should be made to correct it.
