This document provides a comprehensive user manual and wiring diagram for the EASYGUARD EC003, a car alarm system that integrates passive keyless entry (PKE), remote engine start, and smart push start/stop functionalities. It is designed for most DC12V gasoline (petrol) and diesel vehicles, but not for vehicles already equipped with a push start button or those with double locking/unlocking pulse signals. For diesel vehicles requiring longer cranking times, the manual suggests pre-warming the spark plug or adding a timer delay switch.

Safety Warnings and Installation Guidelines:

The manual emphasizes that the product should be installed by a professional car alarm installer due to the complexity of the system and the potential for damage if installed incorrectly. DIY installers are advised to thoroughly study the manual and wiring diagrams. Key safety precautions include never operating the remote start function in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas, keeping remote controls out of reach of children, and ensuring the gear selector is in Neutral (N) or Parking (P) position when using remote engine start. The manufacturer explicitly states it is not responsible for installation or reinstallation costs.

Control Module and Antenna Placement:

Recommendations for control module placement include securing it away from heat sources and obvious leaks, such as above the glove box, inside the center console, or above the under-dash fuse box. For optimal PKE induction range, the alarm antenna should be mounted on the upper inside of the front windshield, away from metal products. PKE antennas are directional and fragile, requiring careful handling and mounting on solid, non-flexible surfaces. Suggested PKE antenna mount positions vary for different vehicle types (sub-compact, sedan, pickup, convertible), with position B being the most common. Mounting PKE antennas in the trunk is discouraged as it significantly reduces induction range.

Wiring Connections:

The manual details wiring methods for the 1.6-pin ignition wire harness and the 10-pin wire harness, providing color codes, wire usage, and specific notes for various connections. It stresses the importance of mechanically sound and insulated connections, recommending soldering or crimp connectors over twisting and taping. Special instructions are provided for vehicles with chip immobilizers, requiring an extra bypass module and a GWR (ground while running) wire connection. Guidelines for connecting the fuel pump wire, parking/hand brake wire, and siren are also included, with advice on polarity changes for positive output horns.

Engine Start Button and Key Fob Functions:

The engine start button changes color (blue, red, yellow) to indicate different operational statuses (armed, disarmed, ACC on, engine started/off). The key fob features buttons for lock/arm, unlock/disarm, remote engine start/cut off, panic mode, and remote trunk release. A spare key slot is also mentioned for emergency use.

Function Description:

• Arm/Lock: Short pressing the lock button on the key fob locks the car, flashes turn signals, and beeps the siren. If PKE is enabled, ensure you are outside the PKE induction range to avoid automatic unlocking.
• Disarm/Unlock: Short pressing the unlock button unlocks the car, flashes turn signals twice, and beeps the siren twice (unless in mute arm status). With PKE enabled, the car automatically locks after 3 seconds if not entered within that time.
• Mute Alarm Setting: Holding the lock and start buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds in arm/lock status toggles mute mode (one beep for mute on, two beeps for mute off).
• Remote Trunk Release: Holding the unlock button for 5 seconds releases the trunk and beeps the siren once. Requires a trunk motor or solenoid kit.
• Panic Mode: Short pressing the start button once in armed status triggers the siren and turn signal flashes for 25 seconds to locate the vehicle. Any key fob button can pause panic mode.
• PKE - Passive Keyless Entry: When enabled, the system automatically locks and arms the car when walking 2-3 meters away with the key fob, and unlocks when approaching within 1-2 meters. The key fob's LED indicator blinks slowly when in PKE induction range.
• Enable/Disable PKE: Disarm the car, then hold the lock button for 5 seconds. Two beeps disable PKE, one beep enables it.
• Remote Engine Start/Stop: In arm/lock status, hold the start button for 5 seconds to remotely start the engine. Hold again for 5 seconds to cut off the engine. The gear selector must be in N or P. The engine runs for 18 minutes and shuts off automatically if the foot brake is not pressed. Remote engine start is not available within PKE induction range.
• Push Button Start/Stop: With the car disarmed, stepping on the foot brake and short pressing the start button starts the car. Without the foot brake, short pressing cycles through ACC, ON, and OFF. To stop the car, step on the foot brake and short press the start button.
• Cold Weather Start: In cold weather, keep stepping on the foot brake and pressing the start button for up to 3 seconds until the car starts.
• Shock Alarm Warning (Optional): If equipped with a shock sensor, any impact triggers the alarm, siren, and turn signal flashes 5 times.
• 18-Minute Timer Cut-off: The engine automatically shuts off after 18 minutes if not driven. Pressing the foot pedal or unlock button cancels this countdown.
• Illegal Door Opening/ACC Trigger: If a door is opened illegally or ACC is triggered while armed, the alarm activates for 25 seconds.
• Central Door Locking Automation: The central door automatically locks 15 seconds after the car starts and unlocks when the car stops.
• Emergency Override: If the remote control is lost, use the mechanical key to unlock the door (triggering the alarm), then press the reset switch for 5 seconds to disarm the system and start the car.
• Emergency Disarm & Start: In arm status, pressing the reset switch for 5 seconds disarms the car. The reset switch can also act as a push start button if the original button is broken.
• Programming Method: Press and hold the programming switch for 10 seconds until the turn signal light stays on. Release, then press any button on the key fob to program it (two beeps confirm success). Up to 4 key fobs can be programmed.

Central Door Locking Installation:

Detailed wiring diagrams and instructions are provided for 8 different types of door lock systems (Type A-H), including positive trigger, negative trigger, reverse polarity, aftermarket actuators, vacuum systems, one-wire systems, and multiplex systems (positive and negative). The manual advises identifying the vehicle's specific wiring diagram and using a digital multi-meter to determine resistor values for multiplex systems.

Releasing Steering Lock:

Two methods are described for releasing the steering lock:

1. Copying the original key blade, inserting it into the ignition cylinder, turning it to the "ON" position, and then cutting and keeping 1mm length of the copied key outside the lock. The push start button is then stuck over the lock.
2. Using a screwdriver to push into the ignition cylinder hole, turning the ignition key to ACC, and forcefully pulling out the key and cylinder. The push start button is then placed over the empty slot. This method is recommended only for qualified staff due to the risk of re-locking the steering. For vehicles with chip immobilizers, the chip must be taken out of the original key/remote and hidden inside or near the ignition cylinder (with the battery removed from the remote).

Installation for Chip Immobilizer:

Three methods are provided for bypassing the chip immobilizer:

1. Taking out the original induction coil from the ignition lock and placing the car's original remote control (with chip immobilizer) into the coil.
2. Taking out the chip immobilizer from the car's OEM remote control, taking out the original induction coil, and sticking the chip immobilizer onto the induction coil. Adding a coin or metal pad underneath the chip can enlarge the signal.
3. Using an extra bypass module: placing the entire remote control (without battery) into the bypass module, then taping the bypass module's induction wires 2-3 circles around the ignition lock header.

FAQs and Warranty:

A section addresses common FAQs, such as issues with the car starting then shutting off, remote engine start not working, programming, GWR wire connection, window closer module connection, and PKE function inconsistencies. The product comes with a 1-year quality guarantee for failures due to product quality issues, but not for incorrect operation or installation.
