The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) looks like a rotary type ignition switch and is used on the base and midline vehicles. It will accept either a steel cut key (Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) only) or a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK which is similar to a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN).

The IGNM is encased in a bracket mounted in the instrument panel and is held in by four (4) screws.
