                PASSKEY- II/ III+ IMMOBILIZATION SYSTEMS

PASSKEY III is a passive theft—deterrent system. This means you don‘t have to do
anything different to arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove the
key from the ignition.

PASSKEY III uses a radio frequency transponder embedded within the plastic of the key
that matches a decoder within the vehicle. The PASSKEY III is a 40 bit fixed code
system and the PASSKEY III+ is a 32/ 84 bit crypt system. The crypt algorithm is
rolling or changing each ignition cycle thus meeting strict security requirements of         |
European countries.

When the PASSKEY III system senses that someone is using the wrong key, the
vehicle‘s starter and fuel systems are disabled via a class 2 message. Anyone using a
trial—error method to start the vehicle and will be discouraged because of the high number
of electrical key codes.

It is possible for the PASSKEY III decoder to learn the transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to 10 keys may be programmed for the vehicle. Diagnostics are
provided within the module and reported on the class 2 link before and during the IGN on
cycle.

The PASSKEY III comes in two configurations. The column mount is a single 5 wire
system requiring battery, ground, ignition, and (2) class2 lines. A dash version is
available also that has a 10 pin controller and a 3 pin reader/exciter module. The added
I/O allows for interface between the two modules. The dash version allows more
flexibility in Ignition styling, however, custom column mount housing are also available.

The key transponder to coil face can be located at distances of 1—20mm. However, each
application should be evaluated for optimum reliability. Modifications to the algorithm
are possible to aid in handshaking between the controller and the vehicles powertrain
control unit.
