It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and a personal PIN code is programmed into it using buttons on your steering wheel and the dash. The device doesn't emit RF signals, therefore it is unable to be manipulated. This makes it difficult to detect by sophisticated scanning and RF technologies used by modern thieves.
The PIN code sequence can be altered whenever you want to block prior drivers, and it even has an override code incase of forgotten sequences. During installation the installer will show how to accomplish this. The system also comes with the option of a valet mode that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence so that your mechanic or garage can fix the car without having to know the code.
