Why an INT series module is required for remote-starter installations with an electronic ignition.

This vehicle is equipped with an electronic ignition and traditional key barrel wiring from the remote-starter will not function. An electronic ignition vehicle does not have the normally associated Ignition, Accessory and Starter wires for the remote-starter to connect to and control.

An INT series interface module will automatically control the electronic ignition based on the Ignition, Accessory and Starter input signals received from the remote-starter.

Furthermore, the INT series interface modules do not bypass the factory transponder, therefore and additional PATS bypass kit is required to complete the remote-starter installation.
