RFID Keyless Ignition

[M1123 HMMWV]

2000 M1123 with a 6.5L/4L80E

Looking to put an RFID system in. Does anyone recommend either of these? Or have experience with them.

I am wondering if there are any issues or problems caused by them, why the $200 price difference, and what the difference between them is.
I see the GD seems to be installed inline with the ignition wire going to the switch while the MME is put inline with all the wires to the switch.

Why the $200 price difference?

That easy! HMMWV tax!

Seriously, I cannot really opine about either system, except to say that a lot of folks have reported fires because the start switch replacement could not handle the load. You can search for the threads about the switch to key replacements and the ones that come out of industrial equipment or trucks seem to be able to accommodate the HMMWV while the other camp reports that the Chinesium ones burn up.

I think you're confusing these with the keyed ignitions.
The links above are just RFID enabled circuits that get installed to kill power to the start box if the RFID chip isn't present. You still keep the OEM paddle ignition switch

This is what I was understanding as well. FlameRed mentioned industrial ignitions which triggered a thought. I may just hide a CAT battery cut off switch wired in series with the power going to the OEM ignition switch. I already carry a CAT battery key everyday for work. So that would eliminate having to carry the FOB and still maintain the OEM ignition switch and having a form of security.

I would still like to see some input from people that have experience with the RFID systems since that may be on the table for me still and others would benefit from that info.

If it doesn’t have a self driving mode what’s
the point?

As you leave proximity of your Humvee, the MME 24 automatically arms and your Humvee is completely secured.

The issue I see with these is the "proximity" is poorly explained. The key-rack where I hang my keys is roughly 40' from the HMMWV parked in the driveway; so will it disarm? That would be a nice kick in the pants to look out the window and see the truck is gone because the key fob is still close enough to allow it to start. Not much satisfaction knowing the thief won't be able to restart it once they shut it off....

I've got the digital guard dog 2005 1123 love it does exactly what it advertises no issues what so ever when you first get it the range will be quite far but battery goes down slightly range reduces to about 3 feet I'm very happy with it

LOL at "HMMWV Tax" If you are handy you could use something like this... Cut the neutral safety switch power or a high power relay and cut all power to the start switch. It's cheap...
