INNOVATIVE DESIGN

Introducing the new iKEY OEM fob, a stylish and functional device that brings automated operation of your vehicle's locks in a sleek package. Its high impact plastic housing is surrounded by a wide band of chrome plating, exuding an upscale appearance. The redesigned outer case is thicker and sturdier than previous designs, ensuring longer-lasting durability. A cool blue LED indicator confirms the transmission and reception of your commands by the iKey system.

The system has the capability to learn up to 4 iKey fobs and 2 Emergency Bypass Cards. One iKey fob can be programmed to an unlimited number of vehicles, granting you the convenience of operating all your vehicles with just a single fob. Beyond offering "hands-free" operation of your vehicle, the iKey fob is equipped with 3 buttons that provide extended range control over 6 independent channels.

Featuring a Remote Start range of over 250 ft. and a PKE proximity range 200% greater than other systems, the iKey fob ensures excellent coverage, even for large SUV vehicles. Additionally, the fob can be easily switched to "Valet" mode for activities like car washing or vehicle repairs, temporarily disabling the passive Door Lock/Unlock and Alarm functions.

OEM Features

The iKey fob's innovative design includes a hidden compartment, allowing you to insert a "Hide a Key" blade for your door locks. This feature ensures that you'll never be locked out of your vehicle in the event of a dead car battery, providing an extra layer of convenience and peace of mind.

Ultimate Convenience

Ultimate Convenience

Forget about the inconvenience of handling keys or remotes. With the iKey system, you can keep the fob in your pocket as you approach your vehicle. The iKey system detects the presence of the key fob, automatically unlocking the doors, disarming the alarm, and authorizing the start button. Once you're inside the vehicle, starting it is as simple as pressing the start button.

When you're ready to leave, just shut off the vehicle and step out. The iKey system takes care of the rest. As you move away from the vehicle, typically within a range of 5-10 feet, it automatically locks the doors, arms the alarm, and disables the push button. It's a seamless and effortless experience that adds a touch of sophistication to your daily routine.

Visual Security Notification

Visual Security Notification

When you approach or exit your vehicle, the system will flash your parking lights, serving as a clear indication that it has armed or disarmed. In the event that you accidentally leave a door open when you’re leaving your vehicle, the iKey will promptly alert you with three quick flashes and siren chirps as you walk away. Rest assured, as you continue to move away from your vehicle, a chirp confirmation upon locking and arming will assure you that your vehicle is securely protected. With the iKey, staying informed and keeping your vehicle safe has never been easier.

Ignition Triggered Lock/Unlock

Ignition Triggered Lock/Unlock

For added security and convenience, the iKey system integrates an Ignition Triggered Lock/Unlock feature. This means that as soon as you start or stop the engine, your vehicle’s doors will automatically lock or unlock. This feature enhances the security of your vehicle, ensuring that you never forget to lock your doors after you’ve turned off the engine or unlocked the doors when starting your car.

iKey

How it Works

The iKey™ system uses a highly encrypted RFID technology that operates through passive keyless entry, which means you never have to press a button to unlock or start your car. Simply approach your vehicle with your key fob, and the system will detect its proximity, automatically unlocking the doors and allowing for push button start operation.

Once inside, the iKey system ensures that your car remains securely locked until you’re ready to exit. The system will automatically lock the doors and activate the alarm once you’ve moved a certain distance away from the vehicle, ensuring your car remains protected.

What Makes The Guard Dawg Tracker Better?

3G vs. 4G Systems

What good is a tracking system if it can’t tell you where your vehicle is? Many tracking systems are still using the old 3G network for their communications. Everyday 3G towers are coming down, resulting in less coverage area. Currently all major cell carriers are scheduled to retire their 3G networks by the end of 2020 making 3G systems obsolete. Only 5G cellular service gives you long term border to border and coast to coast coverage.

GPS Image

Power Draw vs. Locating Accuracy

Most GPS systems that claim to be vehicle trackers make a critical compromise in their design. To save current draw on the vehicle's battery, some systems reduce “how often” they report the vehicle's actual location. Some inexpensive GPS systems only report the “actual” location of your vehicle once or twice a day, leaving you with less accurate location information when you may need it most. Guard Dawg Tracker has solved this issue with our revolutionary new 'APMC' (Advanced Power Management Circuitry). By cycling the system into a deep sleep/power-saving mode when your vehicle is stationary and waking it up when the system detects motion, we achieve an ultra-low current draw that protects against battery drain while still providing 'Real Time' GPS location info, updating every 2 minutes with pinpoint accuracy.

GPS Image

Best Value

All GPS tracking systems require a cellular activation plan to operate. But unlike all other systems that make you pay monthly or give you only 6 mo or a year initial activation, the Guard Dawg 4G Tracker comes with 2 years free activation included and annual renewals as low as 26.95 a year* *Pre-paid 5 year plan.

GPS Image

Starter Lockout

Upgrade to Starter Lockout. Starter lockout gives you the capability to turn ON or OFF a circuit in the vehicle via the GPS phone app. Most commonly used to lock out the starter, this circuit can alternatively be used to trigger a siren installed inside the vehicle to force a thief out of your vehicle if a violation has been detected.

Jessica S2/17/2023

Someone tried to steal my Elantra and destroyed the keyswitch, the dealership quoted me over $4000 to get it fixed, this system saved me a ton of money and gave me more features and security. I love that i don’t have to take my key out of my purse anymore.

Matt2/17/2023

I’m really glad i purchased this system for my Kia, it works just like a new vehicle now and i know its secure so im not worried about parking it on the street.

Daniel Jackson1/17/2023

This system is a great, when i got my F150 it didnt have the push button start, and ford didnt have an option for me besides to buy another truck that had push button. after talking with the techs at guard dawg they let me know what i needed to fully convert my truck over to a push button start. i ended up going with the ford raptor button and got the dash panel from ford so it now looks like it came from the factory with button.

Ed Carter4/22/2022

Had the older system on my bronco, ordered this one for my F100, they made the install much easier.

Kevin Walker3/23/2022

I’ve had the system on my civic for a few days and the S2000 button looks sweet!

Josh T.3/23/2022

Jake10/18/2021

Jason4/5/2021

I took delivery of my new F150 a few weeks ago and didn’t realize how much i would missing having a push button start like on my Mustang. Luckily i found this system and was able to get it for a fraction of what it would have cost if i had purchased the higher level trim. Very good deal.
