PBS-II: Push Button Start System for Power Accessory Vehicles

Fitment:
Designed for pre-1998 vehicles equipped with power accessories, the PBS-II push button start is the ultimate solution for modernizing your classic ride with unparalleled control, versatility, and functionality. Whether you’re upgrading a resto-mod, LS swap, or classic muscle car, the PBS-II offers a seamless way to integrate modern technology into your vehicle while preserving its vintage appeal.

Push Button Ignition Meets Ultimate Power Control

Building upon the robust foundation of the PBS-I, the PBS-II takes automotive innovation to new heights. This professional-grade keyless ignition system is much more than just a push-button starter—it's a comprehensive control system for your vehicle’s power accessories like door locks, shaved doors, windows, and trunk release. With five programmable output channels, the PBS-II delivers advanced functionality in an easy-to-use, sleek package that enhances every interaction with your vehicle.

Simply carry the included RFID key fob, and as you approach your vehicle, the PBS-II automatically verifies your identity and authorizes the ignition. A press of the push button start ignites your engine with power and precision. When you arrive at your destination, another press of the button shuts down the system, while the PBS-II’s additional channels allow you to control all of your vehicle’s accessories—from unlocking doors to rolling down windows.

Thanks to this advanced technology, activating the accessory mode is as easy as a quick tap of the start button. Subsequently, a second press activates both the ignition and the secondary accessory circuits. And when it's time to bring everything to a halt, a third press of the start button shuts down the entire system.
If you're ready to get your wheels turning, you'll press down on the brake pedal, the start button flashes, indicating the system is ready to start the engine, press the button and the motor roars to life. When it's time to shut the vehicle down, pressing the brake pedal followed by the starter button will shut everything down.

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.
