🔑 This solution requires a key sacrifice

One of your working keys must be permanently mounted inside the vehicle, where it satisfies the factory immobilizer during a remote start. That key is given up for the life of the installation, so if you only have two keys, budget for cutting a spare before you book.

It sounds worse than it is. The key sits hidden and untouched, your factory security is unaffected, and on these vehicles it is the only method available.

Testimonials

  • Exceptionally Helpful

    They were exceptionally helpful despite me going down the DIY route having never installed a remote starter before. There was no T harness kit available for my vehicle which led to a few questions which they thankfully were very helpful with. Mission remote start was successful and I'm super pleased.

  • 10 out of 10

    I would recommend Lockdown security 10 out of 10 times. Leo and his team were professional, fast acting and provided excellent service. I am very happy with my remote starter.

  • Responsive, Easy to Use

    Have been using Lockdown Security for years. Just ordered the fifth remote starter from them and installed myself. Their website is easy to use and intuitive. They are responsive and more than willing to answer questions for the DIY customers. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a remote starter.
