I BS PG3 CFRF WM Continental AG User Manual of the Continental Radio Frequency Bidirectional Key Fob Type Acura Bidir Fob MY13.5 A2C37924100 I BS PG3 CFRF WM Continental AG GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE RF TRANSMITTER The Acura Bidir Fob is a bidirectional RF key designed to provide remote engine start with feedback, remote keyless entry, passive entry, passive engine start, and immobilization functionality. The Acura Bidir Fob has a housing, which may have variants in the pictogram Trunk, alternatively Power-Tail-Gate(PTG):
I BS PG3 CFRF WM Continental AG Feedback on Bidir Fob There exist 3 LEDs for all feedback, at the top of the fob, out of the way of the hand that is holding it. LEFT LED Color : AMBER Function: To show RF communication, or that 2-way communication is taking place. Example: LEFT/AMBER LED flashes 1x in response to a button being pressed when the RF command is sent, and/or it can flash while communicating with the vehicle, or waiting for response (example: while engine is cranking) . Also this LED will blink in response to SMART entry authentication. For other cases, generally the Amber LED should operate in a manner that is respective of the "Base SMART key". CENTER LED Color: GREEN. Function: Used to show positive feedback for a given command. Example: CENTER/GREEN LED is on for 1 second, to provide status feedback for a given operation. It means:
Doors were locked, or engine was started, or engine is ON. RIGHT LED Color: RED. Function: Used to show negative feedback for a given command. There are 2 modes. 1. Out of range. In this case the red LED blinks distinctly 3 times, Example: 3 times in 1 second. It means the fob could not get acknowledgement from the car for 2-way communication, or the vehicle battery is dead and cannot respond. 2. Cannot Lock or Engine not running. In this case the red LED is on for 1 second. Continental AG POWER MANAGEMENT I BS PG3 CFRF WM The Power Supply comprises a coin cell battery CR2032, filter capacitors, diodes, and FETs, that provides power to the microcontroller, the power-
management with charger and the RF circuit. A rechargeable battery (accu) of the type LiFePO4 is included to supply higher currents in case of long range transmission. The accu type LiFePO4 is of the class Li-Ion cell, but with a safe chemistry. There exists a certificate, that it is not dangerous / harmfull in the sense of UN3480 and "Transportation without Class 9 is allowed". I BS PG3 CFRF WM Continental AG 6.
