AntiScan Thieves can disarm some other brands of car alarms with a “scanner” that rapidly transmits one remote control code after another until it hits on the one that disarms the alarm.

UltraSecure Coded Valet Mode Your secret valet code In seconds, thieves can disable all other alarm brands by hotwiring the ignition and flicking an easy to find “hidden” valet switch. Your system has safeguards that absolutely ensure a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off” your system. How? To enable valet mode, the driver must first enter a secret valet code on the PlainView switch. Your code will be a 1-to-3-digit number of your choosing. Each digit can be any number fr

To exit valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine. 2. Flick the switch back to its centre position. The LED will turn off to confirm that the system is now in its normal operating mode. Setting your own secret valet code Since all Concept 50 systems have the same factory-set code, it is highly advisable that you set your own valet code. You may choose any 1-, 2-, or 3-digit code that does not have any zeros. You can also change the code whenever you want. 1
