How does the anti theft tuner work and how do you use it? Can someone just jump in my truck and switch the knob?

When you have the knob turned to the anti-theft position. The truck will not run or start in that setting. It would be best to have the knob hidden under the dash so it would be unseen.

When turned to the antitheft position your vehicle won't start. Yes, they could turn it. If they were educated enough to attempt to hot-wire, they may know about chips having an antitheft setting. The placement of the chip in your truck should be a position reached with ease. If you put the chip under the dash, they may going headed right there if they attempt to hot-wire it. Realistically, it may slow someone down and make them wonder if they an error in their attempt, and possibly deter them. If they wanted it bad enough, they probably know about it. Whatever you decide, this chip is a great investment! When turned to the antitheft position your vehicle won't start. Yes, they could turn it.

Dan, my original key still turns on my truck. I believe they use your original key to program the new key. I bought the blank so I can have a spare, so needless to say I now have two working keys. Hope this helps.

There is a small, built-in wheel for tuning. I experienced a problem with mine though. The tuning wheel got stuck after the first month of purchasing his product. I would recommend buying a different radio.

If you have anti-theft deterrent system, it may be necessary to disconnect the fuse for the radio to program more than one remote to your vehicle. My 04 had anti-theft and 1,2 position.

Hmmm...not totally sure about your question...but let me say this....the knob doesn't function quite like a door knob...its basically a dead bolt that is actuated by a knob....on mine the knob is used to actuate the dead bolt back or forth(also note that the bolt is flat on the end and you can't swing close the door with bolt exposed out. U walk up to locked door, key in code, this allows you to rotate knob and it slides the bolt, you let go of knob and the knob itself springs back, the bolt stays in and door can be opened now(I have a separate standard knob installed below). To lock, u shut door and rotate the knob the other way which internally slides the bolt, let go of knob and it springs/rotates back and the bolt stays extended thus locking the door....ie the mechanism is a dead bolt and not a door knob per se. Whenever u do the "lock" action to extend the bolt thru the door, it stays locked and requires the code to be pushed again to do anything. I hope some of this makes some sense and helps.

There is not any botton on the knob to use it. The only problem I have with it is that it dosent hold tightly and spins and comes of easily, might prove dangerous for manual shifting. It looks nice though and well built except for the spinning and coming off.

Can;t say for sure, but my unit is only a couple months old and the volume knob is giving problems, sometimes when you try to raise or lower the volume, the unit goes silent and the the volume comes in. The tuner is also very poorly designed, next time i think i;ll go for a digital tuner

I don't believe that is true. My husband said it just has a dial to tune it in. Sorry but I've never messed with them.

Yea. you need to remove the plastic around the radio on the dashboard. Behind the ac control is a black box with a small switch on it. Flip the switch to the "set" setting with the key turned to accessory. Press lock and unlock on the remote til the hazards flash. Then set the switch to it's original postion.

Hi Doc The SCT SF3 tuner part # 3015 allows up to 5 lock and unlocks. This means you can use it on up to 5 different vehicles. Each time you want to move the tuner to a different vehicle you must return the vehicle you are coming from and the tuner back to stock. Only one vehicle can be tuned at a time. Once the tuner has been locked a total of 5 times you can no longer unlock it and it will stay married to the vehicle it last locked to. Thanks Truckcustomizers.com 800-497-1780

ignore my other post. I was thinking of the wrong knob. I dont have the car anymore. speaking from memory. this knob unscrews from the top, slides over the shaft, and a plastic retainer is placed on the top of the shaft, so when you screw the top back on, it cinches in place. it comes with a bunch of different size retainers. what I said about the boot was accurate. pretty much on your own. nice knob, heavy in your palm. sticker for the top of the knob fell off. maybe drop a dab of super glue under itbesides that, worth every penny.

honestly, im not sure. that would make sence, i wired mine in & theres a wire that goes to the door lock/unlock actuator, but it dosnt lock/unlock my truck, but i need to call the company to see if i just hooked it up wrong or if the wire is supposed to wire to another box addon... but it does have a couple wires for the lock/unlock actutor

Yup, in fact, that's what I did. I busted open the plastic housing and pulled out the circuitry, then drilled out a hole in the glovebox and mounted the knob. That way, I opened the glovebox and adjusted the levels if needed.

If you are referring to the tuning knob, mine is still good. Sorry thatI could not help!

the knob will only adjust the speed. it only turns off when the device it's plugged into is powered down. i have been running it every day since June 20th, plugged into the usb port on my audio video receiver .
