Overview & Benefits: This portable locator provides quick, non-invasive detection of low-frequency transponder coils used by modern keyless entry systems. It helps identify coil location in door handles, dashboards, and center consoles, verifies coil functionality (full red LED + beep when working), and enables starting a vehicle when the remote battery is dead by placing the remote near the detected coil. No computer required — an essential tool for car electronic maintenance and locksmith tasks.
Quick Use Guide:

- Power On: Long-press the ON/OFF button to turn the device on (half red LED + beep indicates standby).

- Test Coil: Place the locator near the "key" mark or suspected coil location and press Engine Start/Stop. Full red LED + beep = coil working; no response = coil may be broken or absent.
- Start with Dead Remote: Once coil is found, place the car remote near the coil and press Engine Start/Stop to start the engine.
