Does your car have a proximity (smart) key or slot key (fob goes in slot) keep key in pocket and press a button on the dash or other button in the car to start it, without the need of a conventional metal key or ignition. Or is it a keyed ignition or a combination of the two?
Twist-Knob Ignition
Proximity Ignition
Keyed Ignition
Typically, remote starters work with push-to-start vehicles by using a proprietary, secure system called KLON that mimics the smart-key signal. Thus, your vehicle will start in the same way as if your smart-key was inserted in the ignition!
On the wheel
On the dashboard
On the front console
On the back console
Did you lose all working keys to the vehicle(do you have a key presently that starts the vehicle) or are you looking for a spare key. Do you want a key with buttons( ie: remote headed key) or separate remote where as remote headed key not applicable. Or just a programmed transponder key that starts the vehicle?
