Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Overview: The XK05 Programmable Immobilizer Data Override interface is preloaded with upgradeable firmware for select late model Ford, Mazda, Pontiac, Toyota, and Lexus vehicles, including the Smart-Key Push-to-Start ignition type systems. The XK05 temporarily overrides the factory immobilizer when remote starting your vehicle using an aftermarket remote start (sold separately) while maintaining the integrity of the manufacture's factory anti-theft system when remote start is not used.

Compatibility: The XK05 is compatible with select 2000-2010 Ford, Mazda, Pontiac, Lexus and Toyota vehicles using secure data transfer, while maintaining the integrity of your vehicle's factory anti-theft and alarm system.

Note: Check the Crutchfield "Outfit My Car" to verify compatibility with your vehicle.

Upgradeable: The XK05 features a 4-pin data port which allows internet upgrades and firmware changes through the optional DEI XKLOADER module (sold separately) when connect to your PC.
