Can my key fob control numerous Vehicles?
Yes, your key fobs can be programmed to as many push button start systems as you want, giving you the ability to only carry 1 key fob with you and hop into which ever vehicle you feel like driving that day.
The Range on my key fob has decreased.
We recommend changing your batteries once a year, the batteries must have a voltage of no less than 3.0Volts. If the batteries are at 2.99Volts they are no longer a good battery, you will experience a decrease in range.
I came back from vacation/Holiday and my range was less than 5 feet.
If they ikey system does not detect use in 5 days it will reduce its range to preserve battery life, every 5 days the system will reduce its range to preserve the life of your battery.
The Key fob’s LED still lights up do I still need to replace the battery?
The LED on the key fob requires very little power to light up, The best way to check to see if your battery is still good or needs to be replaced is to unscrew the screws on the back of the fob, pop the battery out and use a Multi-Meter to test the battery, it should be at 3.0-3.3Volts, if it is any lower it needs to be replaced.
The vehicle will crank but the start button immediately starts flashing again or changing colors
This is the system telling you that your vehicles battery is low, the ikey system requires your vehicles battery to be at 10Volts in order to operate correctly, if your battery is below 10Volts the system will restart itself.
The ikey LED will blink Red-Blue-Red-Blue even while you are inside the vehicle.

The Range is much shorter than advertised
Make sure the antennas are plugged in correctly and that you did not accidentally plug in the bypass antenna into the main antenna harness, Ensure that the antennas are not touching metal.
The antennas are a sensitive component, make sure you do not tear the jacket protecting the wires, if the wire is broken and a strand is touching metal the antenna will need to be replaced
Do NOT wrap the antenna wires around a bunch of other wires, this will cause a reduction in range from interference.

The Horn will randomly beep twice at me
This is due to the “ikey not found reminder”, this function can be turned off by looking in your owners-manual, page 4 item 5. When your door is opened and closed such as letting a passenger out of the vehicle and then the system sees an input on the brake wire the system will search for a key fob, if one is not detected it will beep twice. The key fob may be inside the vehicle but out of range of the antennas.

I was excited when I first read about the Digital Guard Dawg but it has exceeded all my expectations. It works like a dream, my car knows it me when I walk up, the LED button is beautiful (especially at night). Not messing with buttons or keys is awesome. You have a real winner guys!
