NOTE: Acceptable digits tens or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0 (Zero),
or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more then
5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last
successfully stored code.
Custom Code Programming Example:
To Change the code from the factory pre-assigned code of 11 to “52” you would do the
following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override
sequence.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3 times.
4. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on. (The siren or horn will
beep and the lights will flash one time. LED turns On)
5. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push button switch to set the tenths
digit. (As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the tenths digit to 5)
6. Within 10 seconds of the last press of the push-button, turn the ignition switch off then on.
7. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push button switch to set the units
digit. (As per the example, press and release 2 times to set the units digit to 2).
8. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Immediately observe the LED flash pattern.
You will note the LED flashing five times, pause, and then flash two times, pause. This
pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been accepted and
stored in memory.
NOTE: If after step 8, the LED flashes a code other than what was just entered, this
indicates that the code has not been changed. You will have to repeat steps 1
through 7 above being certain to note the following:
Acceptable digits tens or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0 (Zero), or no
digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more then
5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last
successfully stored code.

USING THE CUSTOM CODE OVERRIDE
Assuming the override code programmed has not been changed, and the default override
code of 11 is in the system's memory.
1. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position.
Note: The siren will sound.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and release the push-button switch 1 time.
3. Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.
4. Within 5 seconds, press and release the push-button switch 1 time.
5. Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle.
Note: If you have changed the programmed override code then substitute your new code
tenths for step 2 above, and units for step 5 above.
