AVAILABLE XPRESSKEYS
Used in D2D (Data to Data) only
IMPORTANT IF NOT USING XPRESSKEY: Before installing, inform the customer that one of the vehicle's coded keys must be used in the installation and installed permanently in the unit. If a new key is purchased at the dealer, make sure to code the new key to the factory immobilizer or have the dealer do this. In many vehicles, the new key must be coded at the dealer. IMPORTANT: It is also the installer's responsibility to inform the customer of the following: If they wish to have additional keys programmed to the vehicle's immobilizer system, certain vehicle manufacturers require that all programmed keys be reprogrammed at the time the new key is added. In this case, it would be necessary to remove the already programmed key or XPRESSKEY from the TBXKEY module to reprogram it.

Installing the loop antenna

INCLUDED 18-WIRE PRE-FORMED LOOP (SEE INSTALLATION BELOW)

Standard installation of antenna loop

Disassemble the steering column shroud and locate the factory transponder ring's antenna. Install loop antenna
1. Place the included loop antenna ring around the vehicle's ignition cylinder as shown. 2. Plug the antenna loop connector into the TBXKEY control module and secure the other unused wire.

18 WIRE LOOP ANTENNA

Unused

Note Move antenna loop as close to the front of ignition cylinder (factory receiver ring) as possible. Test before closing installation & after replacing the shroud (cover).

NOTE: Some vehicles may require other methods to access the factory transponder ring antenna wires.

Alternative installation of antenna loop

This installation method will only work with immobilizer systems that have a two wire factory antenna harness. This alternate interface method is not guaranteed to work with all immobilizer systems due to differences in transponder systems but one of the best choice for European vehicles. It is meant to provide the installer with an alternative interface method for most two-wire transponder ring systems.

See next page for connection details of alternative installation.
