Frequently Asked Questions FAQ’s
- What is
Remote keyless Entry
system RKE.
A remote keyless entry system is a system designed to remotely lock, or unlock. It
duplicates all of the features of a standard car key with the added convenience of operating the power door locks, eliminating the need to
physically manipulate a key into a lock as well as being able to do so at a distance. It works on the same principle as some television remote
controls — sending pulses of radio frequency energy on a particular frequency, rather than most television remotes which use infrared. These
pulses are interpreted by the receiver in the automobile, which, in turn, performs the appropriate function. For the door locks, the system works
in two ways by providing confirmation of successfully (un-)locking the car through a light signal. The functions of a remote keyless entry system
are contained on a small, hand-held fob attached to the keychain or built into the ignition key handle itself. Buttons are set aside to either lock or
unlock the doors, plus open the trunk. Some cars will also close any open windows when remotely locking the car.
- How easy is to install.
The actual time your installation will demand; depends on your level of experience. All units come with a general wiring diagrams for any car, plus
we provide specific wiring instruction for majority of the cars. For most vehicles made up to 2004/5, Rightclick gives you a sheet that tells the location
and colour of the wires you need to access in your vehicle (for the central lock part). At the time of your order, Please advice your car make/year/model so we
can send this information with your system. You will also receive The Universal Central Lock wiring diagrams for any car PLUS Car
Security Installation Guide. Installing -
Car Alarm OR
Remote Keyless: Installing Remote Keyless Kit is a lot easier than installing Car Alarm Kit, It does not matter where you buy your car alarm from,
it requires installation by a qualified person. Any one that tells you installing a car alarm is easy is not true unless the installation is carried
out by some one experienced in car alarm installation. Car alarms has many options to offer that is not required/included by the Remote Keyless Kit. We
sell both Car Alarms, Remote Keyless and many other car accessories.

- All our car kits will work with all vehicles all models, all types that has Manual Central locking and wants to convert to Remote C/L.
- Manual C/L means when you unlock the drivers door with your existing key all other doors also unlocks.
- If your car does not have manual C/L there is a few kits we sell that converts your manual door locking to central locking system, this comes
with wiring diagram (Mechanical fitting instructions are not included). Please check our
Central Locking Category listings for the item you need.
- In case your central locking system can NOT be opened and closed from the passenger door, you need to install an additional control device (motor
also called solenoid or actuator) into the driver’s door. There are 2 types (5wire and 2wire) generally 2wire motor will work.

If your central locking system only operates from the drivers door key (not the
passengers) then you will need a
2 wire motor for your drivers door PLUS any one of our
Remote Keyless Kits.
If you are
after a flip key RKE then we suggest either the 669 or 786. (for cars without
immobilizers chip we suggest the 715 or 670 BM type key). Most of our kits are
similar except for the remotes-fobs? YOU JUST PICK THE Ones YOU LIKE... If you are after Remotes operated only Fob’s
WITHOUT key blank;

-
Logos - Your own car logo on the remotes.
We supply logos for certain cars, these are supplied FREE of charge with some of our kits (like the KE669/KE786/KE715/KE670). You need to tell us which FREE logo you would
like to receive with your order/payment notes. If you don’t tell us we will not know which logo to send you and sometimes your order gets held! The Logos for
the 670 and 715 are different in size (smaller) to the 669 and 786.
- Immobilizer
This ONLY applies if you buy remotes with key blanks
(blank keys that are screwed into the handheld transmitters). The immobilizer transponder chip has to be stuck into our handheld transmitters
(remote controls) (above the LED). (i.e. If your existing key has chip inside, some can transfer their chip into our remotes! and save 100’s £££).
If your car remote key has chip inside:- Customers do different things: Transfer the chip to our remote. Place/insert their own key into
our remotes (this requires some tooling...) Place their existing key under or flush mounted in the dashboard... Use a Transponder Bypass - for car alarms.
Remove the key blank completely from our remotes. Attach your own key to our remotes (using our FREE key ring! supplied with all our kits) Or buy
one of our remote kits that don’t have a key blank! (you can choose any remotes
from the keyless
list!) All our remote keyless are
listed under this link:
Remote Keyless What is an immobiliser? An immobiliser is an electronic device which stops the car from being started if it
is broken into. Although this won’t stop your car from being broken into, it may well stop it from being driven away. Most newer cars (being those up to 6 years
old) come with some sort of alarm and/or immobiliser My vehicle already has a factory transponder or smart key system, which is built
into its ignition key? There are many factory immobilizers in the marketplace i.e. ACURA IMMOBILIZER, AUDI IMMOBILIZER, BMW EWSII, CHRYSLER
SentryKey, FORD SecuriLock/PATS, GM PASSlock II, HONDA IMMOBILIZER, and TOYOTA Engine Immobilizer to name a few. These anti-theft systems consist of a
miniature transponder imbedded in the ignition key head itself, which allows the vehicle’s computer to identify the "real ignition key" and thereby enable the
vehicle to start. These systems are factory installed on many new vehicles at no charge. Recently, a national automotive magazine published information on how
to bypass these systems - it only takes about 20 seconds. Also, there is a company that manufactures a product called the "No Key Required Bypass Kit",
which bypasses the transponder key system in any vehicle made. TRANSPONDER BYPASS MODULE:
Required on most vehicles from 1997 (and some earlier) for remote starters to function (This ONLY applies if you buy
kits with remote engine start). Allows the alarm to turn the factory fitted immobiliser off when remote start (Engine start) is used.
