This document describes the Crimestopper Cool Start™ Remote Engine Starter and Keyless Entry with DP Technology, covering models RS1-G5, RS3-G5, RS4-G5 (1-Way System), and RS7-G5 FM (2-Way Paging System). It functions as a remote engine start and keyless entry system for vehicles, with optional alarm and convenience features.

Function Description:

The core function of this device is to remotely start a vehicle's engine and provide keyless entry. It incorporates "DP Technology" by Crimestopper Security Products Inc. The system allows users to start their vehicle from a distance, pre-condition the cabin (heating or cooling), and lock/unlock doors. Depending on the model, it offers 1-way or 2-way communication with the vehicle. The 2-way paging system (RS7-G5 FM) provides feedback to the remote, displaying vehicle status information on an LCD screen.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • RS3-G5: 4 vertical buttons (Lock, Unlock, Vehicle Select, Start).
