Introduction

Installation instructions for the IOX-KEYLESS solution with SID (Starter Inhibit Device) using the HRN-SIFUSETAP harness.

    • WARNING! Some installations are not straightforward and must be completed by an Authorized Installer to ensure a secure installation.

    • An unsecure device can result in poor electric and/or data connections, which can lead to short circuits and fires or cause malfunctions of vehicle controls that can result in serious personal injury or significant damage to the vehicle. Some examples requiring professional installation from an Authorized Installer are:

    • The OBD port location is such that the device protrudes and interferes with entering or exiting the vehicle, or located where it could be inadvertently kicked or bumped during vehicle operation.

    • The device isn't fully secured and so may come loose with vibrations or accidental contact.

    • An electrical harness or additional wiring is required.

    • Vehicle mounting modifications are required to secure the device, i.e. removing of panels; deformed/damaged OBD connector; or physical damage to the electrical wiring.

    • The device does not power on and beep six times when first installed.

    • The installer questions their ability to complete a secure installation according to these instructions.

    • WARNING! Do not attempt to install, reconfigure, or remove any product from a vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration, or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely parked.

    • Attempting to service devices while the vehicle is in motion could result in malfunctions or collisions, leading to death or serious personal injury.

    • WARNING! Installation of this product into vehicle systems requires professional installation by a qualified technician who is thoroughly familiar with any circuits involved.

    • Installing the Geotab SID solution requires real-time access to the host vehicle wire interface diagrams for starter control (i.e. ALLDATA™, WireSheet™, Mitchell1 ProDemand™ / eAutoRepair™ or equivalent). Typically, the diagrams are provided to car security solution installers.

    • WARNING! The Geotab SID solution must not be installed in such a manner where it has the potential to disable propulsion and/or prevent vehicle control while the vehicle is in motion.

    • Never install a circuit interrupt on any circuit that may interfere with the safe operation of a vehicle or cause the engine to stop while the vehicle is in motion — such as fuel lines, brake switch, or multiplexed circuits.

    • Some vehicles stop the engine every time the vehicle comes to a stop, and automatically restarts the engine upon pressing the accelerator pedal.

    • Installers in these vehicles need to ensure activation of the Starter Inhibit feature does not disable the vehicle in a precarious location (i.e. a busy intersection) and does not leave the vehicle unable to move to a safe location or other direct or indirect effects resulting from the installation of the Starter Inhibit feature.
