This EASYGUARD EC004 kit is designed to retrofit most 12V cars, delivering a convenient keyless-start routine without changing your factory door locks. It replaces the physical key-turn start with a push start\/stop button and keyless-go functionality but does not include remote lock\/unlock or remote engine start features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the EASYGUARD EC004 improve daily starts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit allows you to start and stop the engine by pressing a button while the supplied RFID transponder authenticates the vehicle.
