Authentication by the key fobs of the KEYLESS BLOCK

The authentication process in the IGLA can be undergone by the key fobs included in the KEYLESS BLOCK set. For this purpose, the devices should be aligned.

Disarming of the IGLA happens right after disarming of the KEYLESS BLOCK by exchanging with the encrypted messages with each other through the regular CAN-bus of the car. If the two-step authentication mode is turned-on, the PIN-code is necessary to be entered with the standard buttons.

If the devices have been aligned, both of the devices enter and leave the service mode simultaneously (transferring of the IGLA into the service/valet mode is enough).

The connection between the KEYLESS BLOCK and the IGLA will be broken as soon as the key fobs are deleted or the authentication mode is changed. In order to sign in the IGLA, the alignment procedure of the devices should be repeated (see the service manual).
