Step 12: Initial Start Button Mountin *** Should you desire to mount your start button elsewhere, almost any surface will work fine using the 3M mounting tape placed on the back of the button. If you are mounting your Start button in another location other than over the existing key switch, be sure to remove the 4 Phillips screws from the metal mounting plate from the rear of the Start button.

Step 14: Finalizing Connections and Mounting System Modules 14a – Final Connections Now it is time to make all remaining connections to the iKey system module. Use the picture below to locate and confirm all connectors are plugged into the correct ports and securely locked into place. There are 4 Module Ports that will have No connectors in them.
Page 24
14b – Mounting System Modules Once all connections to the module are completed, you are ready to mount the iKey system module under the dash. Zip-Ties can be used to securely attach both modules up under you dash so no wires hang down or aulternately a Velcro pad can be used.

Step 15: System Pre-Test Now it’s time to do a pre-test of the system. We do a pre-test before finalizing the installation of your Start Button and buttoning up all panels and wires. If anything needs additional attention, it’s better to catch it now while wire and module access are easy.
Page 26
Next use the flow chart below to complete system pre- testing. Leave Start Button loose at this time, turn the Start Button so you can see button’s status LED to complete Flow Chart instructions. Occasionally, some system features / functions may not become active until the vehicle has been turned On / Off once or twice.
Step 16: Finalizing your Start Button Installation Begin by Test Fitting your button over the lock cylinder. The metal mounting arms should slide over the sides og the cylinder. * Depending on the ignition switch you have , you may need to Cut and shorten the mounting arms so the button fits flush onto the face of the cylinder.
