Page 9: Pre-Installation Guidelines
PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDELINES At this time identify the wires of the chassis harness you will be connecting to. A factory schematic and/or a voltmeter will help accomplish this.

Page 10: Installation
The Phantom key will not replace these factory installed modules; they must be used in conjunction with this Painless product. If your ignition switch key has one of these ID chips it must remain in or close to the ignition for everything to work properly. - Page 11 Before any installation takes place, decide on a good location for the module. This mounting point must be inside the vehicle. The Phantom Key module is not designed to hold up to the environment found inside an engine compartment or in any other place outside the vehicle.
