Introduction

Keyless is Geotab’s Shared Mobility solution. There are a few components you need to know, so use this document to guide your MyAdmin purchases and quoting.

The focus of this reference is on the Keyless specific components. Additional standard components:

  1. GO device (GO9 or newer): IOX Keyless or IOX Keybox connects into a GO via the IOX port.
  2. T-harness: supports OBD port access by service personnel without disrupting Keyless.

NOTE - T-harness: For both push-to-start and bladed key ignition installations, the T-harness is used to install the GO device away from the OBD port to reduce the risk of accidentally unplugging the device. The T-harness is also used to install another device into the OBD port without having to remove the GO9 device. The most common harness is the HRN-GS16K2-A; however, harness installation depends on the vehicle. See Geotab’s harness assessment cheat sheet.

IOX Keyless or IOX Keybox

Both are interchangeable options compatible with the Keyless Solution. If you are unsure, please review the Hardware Options in the Keyless Overview.
