Transmitter, Integrated Key Fob: Description

Vehicles equipped with the power lock system may also have the optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) or an optional Passive Entry Keyless Go (PEKG) system. These vehicles are shipped from the factory with two transmitters programmed to the vehicle as standard equipment. Although either type of transmitter can be programmed for compatibility with the power locks.

Each FOBIKs functional touch pad section is clearly identified by icons or text identifying the specific function obtained by pushing that button. The available switches include:

• Unlock  - Standard Equipment.
• Lock  - Standard equipment.
• Remote Start  - Only for vehicles equipped with the factory-installed remote start system.
• Sliding Door Open  - Standard equipment.

The FOBIK is the primary customer active interface for remotely operating the power lock system, the RKE system, the VTA system and the remote start system components and features. However, the FOBIK also has an important passive role in each of the following vehicle systems:

• Keyless Go System 
• Passive Entry System 
• Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) 

Other than battery replacement, the FOBIK cannot be adjusted or repaired. Once a FOBIK has been programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be reprogrammed for use on any other vehicle.  If damaged or ineffective, the FOBIK must be replaced with a new unit. A new and unused FOBIK unit must be properly programmed in order to function properly with the systems of the vehicle. The mechanical emergency key of the new FOBIK must also be cut to match the coding of the lock cylinders in the vehicle.
