Setting up PIN for your vehicle.

Yeah! you heard it correct. You can set the PIN for your vehicle. This can be useful when the transmitter is not working properly. But it's not that kind of PIN that you are thinking (like typing numbers). So, how to set it up.

For setting up PIN also you need the same ALARM button.

    3. Turn the ignition ON then OFF(no need of switching ON the engine).

    5. Now press the Lock button on key, after the single chirp enter the first digit(within 1-9) by pressing the Alarm button. For e.g. to enter 4 press and release the alarm button 4 times.

    6. Then press the Lock button on Key, after two chirps enter the second digit similar way we did in step 5.
