NOTE: Issues when setting up the Universal Car Remote are typically attributed to one of three factors:
1) The vehicle is not equipped with a factory installed keyless entry system, 2) the vehicle is equipped with
an aftermarket system or 3) the user is failing to execute the PAIRING instructions properly. A video sample
is available at www.UniversalCarRemote.com with a sample of PAIRING instructions. More information on
aftermarket systems is found below.
ACTIVATION
Most issues during the ACTIVATION step can be
resolved by resetting the Universal Car Remote
and beginning from Step #1 on pages 3-5 of the
ACTIVATION process. See RESETTING THE
UNIVERSAL CAR REMOTE on page 34.
Q. I think I missed the STATUS LIGHT sequence
after I entered my vehicle code. Can I check it
some way?
A. Yes, you can have the Universal Car Remote
display the vehicle code you entered by pressing
FUNCTION I and PANIC until the STATUS LIGHT
blinks back the code you entered from pages 4-5, then
press the TRUNK button.
PAIRING
While most modern vehicles with power locks and
power windows are equipped with a factory installed
keyless entry system, some are not. If you are unsure
if your vehicle is equipped with factory installed
keyless entry, it is recommended you contact your
local automotive dealer with your VIN number to
Aftermarket systems are those that are installed by a
third-party such as a mobile electronics shop and not
originally included with the vehicle. The Universal Car
Remote is not compatible with these systems.
Q. The car won't go into PAIRING mode.
1. Check in the VEHICLE LOOK UP list that the
PAIRING number is the correct one for your car,
and also verify the year of your car, then retry the
PAIRING instructions.
PLEASE DO NOT RETURN THE UNIVERSAL CAR REMOTE TO THE RETAILER.
PAIRING the Universal Car Remote to your vehicle please contact iKeyless Support at 1-877-4-iKEYLESS.

2. If you've never had one of the remotes that originally
came with the car, it is possible that the car does not
have a factory installed keyless entry system.
3. The car's original factory keyless entry system may
be broken. If you are sure that the car had original
remotes, you may want to have a mechanic look at
the problem.
4. See the MORE HELP section.
Q. Car is in PAIRING mode, but doesn't respond
when the Universal Car Remote buttons are

3. See the MORE HELP section on page 35.
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
SOME OF THE BUTTONS ON THE UNIVERSAL
CAR REMOTE ARE NOT WORKING.
The Universal Car Remote is designed to work with
hundreds of different factory remotes. As a result,
some vehicles use buttons that others will not use.
While all vehicles will use the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons, the remaining buttons are strictly optional and
may or may not function with your vehicle.
NOTE: Some vehicles require the user to hold a button
for up to three seconds before a feature will operate,
while others require pressing the button twice within
2 seconds. This is particularly common for PANIC,
TRUNK, FUNCTION I and FUNCTION II buttons.
