Christian Magg, ADRR 25.09.2019 User manual of RKE223E1 BN: 13612160B08V00 Christian Magg, ADRR 1. System Overview 25.09.2019 1.1. RKE-Module Specifications The RKE-Module is a transceiver module which handles Comfort Access (CA), Keyless Go (KG) and other remote functions. The module receives and controls the signals and work as wireless gateway between transmitter and central electronic module (SAM) in the vehicle. The following figure shows a schematic of the system. Figure 1: schematic of the RKE system The device has an integrated antenna switch (2 Antenna input) and 3 Channel functionality. The RKE-Module receives signal from car key and transmits signal to the car-key (bidirectional communication for key detection and car entry). 25.09.2019 Christian Magg, ADRR 1.2.

Antenna-Replacement for homologation The Antenna-Feeder cannot work correctly as transmitting element outside his mounting position on the car. This means, for correct RF performance, the full car will be needed. Due to the following facts, the car cannot be used for homologation of RKE223E1:

a) The Telematics module (which includes the RKE223E1) will be mounted on different car types in the future b) The development of the lead-car-type is not finished/available To solve this topics, the homologation will be done with a replacement antenna which has an equal max gain to the future car setup. This antenna will be used for all laboratory measurements of the RKE223E1 module. In a second step, the first car type will be verified by a comparison measurement between replacement-setup and car integrated setup as the car is available. This measurement results will be added with a class 2 permissive change. All following car types will be added with comparison measurements between the cars and added as class 1 permissive change.

You can hear the internal relay of the RKE test box clicking and the LED on the back side flashing, when a Signal is received Christian Magg, ADRR 25.09.20199 2. Safety Recommendations WARNING: The Module is designed for in-car use only. It MUST be well integrated into the automotive environment (Tambient min. -40 C to max. +105 C) and needs to be installed by the OEM (car-manufacturer) or in case of replacement by a professional garage. WARNING: The fuse used in the vehicle for electrical protection of the control unit must comply with MBN 8820-3 (2013-05) and an amperage of 5 amperes!
