How to Activate Your New CarLock Device

Thank you for buying CarLock. Before you start using CarLock service, you will need to create a CarLock account and activate your device. This step-by-step guide is specifically designed for customers who bought CarLock and need help with activation process. If you already own and use a CarLock device and just want to add another CarLock device to your account read the — How to Add Another CarLock Device to Existing Account — guide.

1. What Is in the Box?

The CarLock device comes packed in a box with a User’s Installation Guide and an Activation Card.

You need the activation card to activate your device. It is highly recommended for you to read the User’s Installation Guide before installing the device into your vehicle.
