●Loop coil type
[Features & Recommended Points]
●Engine starter function can be added to push-start vehicles
By connecting through this adapter, you can install a remote engine starter even on vehicles equipped with a push-start switch (compatible without compromising the factory immobilizer function).
●Reliable signal reception with loop coil system
The loop coil is designed to be positioned close to the push-start switch. This stabilizes signal transmission and reduces the risk of malfunction or disconnection.
●Lightweight and compact design
The main unit weighs only 44g and measures H50 × W120 × D25 mm, making it slim and easy to install even in tight spaces.
●Compatibility with factory functions
The product can be used without affecting the immobilizer (electronic anti-theft function), allowing additional installation while retaining the original key and security features.
●Wide vehicle compatibility
Vehicle-specific compatibility information can be searched on the Car Mate official website. This allows you to check in advance whether your vehicle is supported.
Note: If other electrical devices (e.g., adapters for the factory key or the starter unit itself) are located near the push-start switch or key, interference may occur.
●Highly rated for practicality after installation
User reviews note that “installation is a bit tricky, but once installed, it works reliably” and “signals can be received from over 500 m away.” This demonstrates high practical value.
[Usage Notes & Recommendations]
Installation may require one spare key for the vehicle (used during wiring work during setup).
To avoid compatibility issues, always check the compatibility table for “vehicle model, year, and specifications” before purchase.
If other electrical devices or metal objects are located near the push-start switch, signal interference or malfunction may occur (also noted in the instruction manual).
Installation requires some knowledge of electrical wiring and tools. Those inexperienced with DIY work are advised to consult a professional or specialized shop.

The Car Mate TE157 adapter for push-start vehicles fulfills the need to add a convenient remote engine starter even to push-start cars. Its main attractions are the ability to expand functionality while retaining the factory immobilizer, the stable signal ensured by the loop coil system, and its lightweight, compact design for easy handling.
