Frequently Asked Questions about knock-in-key
1. How
much does knock-in-key cost?
Recommended
retail price of the Knock-In-Key is
$129.00
2. Who
can install it?
Installation is best handled by a qualified auto electrician or auto
electronics installers. Also people with basic understanding of
electrical systems with at least the ability to read electrical wiring
diagrams and do basic wiring installation. There is only five wires to
connect but you do need to know where they connect to in your vehicle’s
electrical system, therefore it does require prior knowledge and
practical experience in this field.
3. Will
it interfere with the standard operation of my central locking system?
Knock-in-key is designed to work alongside the existing system but not
override it thus the ability to use your existing entry key is never
lost.
4. What
if I forget my code?
Hopefully you haven’t realised this after you’ve locked the keys in the
car. Just like any other coded or keyed system, security is compromised
with an override code or “SKELETON KEY“. You wouldn’t give a stranger
the keys to your car so we don’t expect that you want us or anyone else
to know of a secret way to break into your car.
If you do happen to realise
that you forgot your code and the car is not locked then it is possible
to query your code from the unit or alternatively just enter a new code.
5. Will
it deactivate my alarm?
Due to the shear number of different alarm systems on the market, this
question can only be fully answered by an installer completely familiar
with your particular alarm system, but remember, knock-in-key is designed
to help you retreive your keys from your locked vehicle so you can
deactivate it yourself once you have gained entry and retrieved them.
6. Can
it open my boot/trunk if I lock my keys in there?
Good question! A high percentage of incidents of locking keys in the car
involve locking them in the boot/trunk of the vehicle? Very few cars do
not have access to the boot space from inside the cabin (without the
keys) by either a cabin mounted switch/lever, or by folding the rear
seats forward. Your installer should check if this is the case and if so
can alternively wire the knock-in-key to also activate the electric boot
lock opener or install a solenoid actuator if one does not already
exist.
