modulewillbe secured after allwiringis completed which willallowcomplete access until thejobis done.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
HOOD PIN SWITCH: PART#1363699
The pin switche included in this package is intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle. In all
cases,theswitch must be mounted toagrounded metal surface. When the pinswitchis activated, (hood
open), itwillsupplyagroundtotheinputwireactivating the alarm. In addition, the hood switch is required
for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch
prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This switch must be
installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.
THEPUSH-BUTTONPROGRAMSWITCH/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNAASSEMBLY: PART #1181202
The Superheterodyne ReceiverAntennaAssembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the
dashboardfor maximum operatingrange. Choosealocationabovethe belt line(dashboard)ofthevehicle
for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles
utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route
theantenna toward a rearwindow location for best reception. Secure the antennawith double stick tape
provided.
WARNING!! This unit is tobe used in vehicleswith AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this
combinationAlarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST

WIRING CONNECTIONS: 12 Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness PART # 1123751
1 Yellow/Black Wire: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output
Note: You must disconnect the ignition input of the alarm from any other wire that it is presently connected
to in the vehicle.
Thiswireprovidesa+12Voltoutputwhentheignitionkeyisturnedtothe“ON”position,and0Voltswhentheignition
key is “OFF” or when the vehicle is running under the control of the remote starter.
This wire should be connected to the ignition input of the alarm system.
This output will allow you to remote start the vehicle while leaving the alarm armed, and to lock/unlock the doors
while running under control of the remote start unit.
2Green w/ Orange Wire: Tachometer Input Signal
This wire will continually monitor the engine's tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start
module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine
compartmentand connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start unit learns the tach
rate of the vehicle and in most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the
numberof cylinders. If the vehicle hasa single coil unitfor each cylinder,itmay be necessary toconnect
this wire to more than one cylinder for proper tach reference. See Multi Coil Pack Adaptor wiring detail
shownlaterin this manual for additionalinformation.
Note: ForHybrid mode selection, Bank 3feature selection 5, this connectionis not required, the unitwill
start the vehicle and run the allotted time based on feature selection and crank duration.
3 Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source

5 Light Blue Wire: Ignition 3 / Ground While Running Output
This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start Unit initial-
izes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 2 seconds after the Remote Start Ignition 1 turns
off. In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required. The Light Blue wire can be used to
accommodate the following situations:
A. Sensor By Pass:
If there is a Non Plug in Sensor used with the alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote
Startactivation period, thenvibrationornoisefromthe running vehiclecancausethealarm to trigger. In
thiscase,connect the Light Blue Wiretoterminal #86 of a externalrelay. Connectterminal# 85 of the
relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source. Cut the sensor's trigger wire and connect one end of the cut
wire to terminal #30 and the other end of the cut wire to terminal #87a. Just before the Remote Start

128-8783b
9 of 28
9
unit is activated, the relay contacts will open, preventing the sensor's operation until the Remote Start
unit shuts off.
B. Additional Ignition Output:
Some vehicle's may require more than three ignition outputs to start and keep the vehicle's engine
running. If this is the case, connect the Light Blue wire to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect
terminal#85 to afused+12voltsource. Dependent on thevehicle'srequirement,connectterminal#30,
toafused + 12 volt source,orto ground, and connect terminal87to the vehicle to supplytheadditional
ignitionsource.
C. GM VATS Key Override:
If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to bypass the system while
the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To DoThis:
1.Measuretheresistance of the resistor pellet on theignitionkey then select a resistor within 5%ofthe
key'svalue from the resistor pack supplied.
2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the
ignition switch to the VATS control module.
NOTE: These wires are typically White w/ Black trace and Violet w/Yellow trace, however in later model
Cadillacs, they are run through an orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Yellow, or both White
wires. Consultthefactory service manual for additional information.
3. Connect the Light Blue Wire from the Remote Start Unit to terminal #86 of an external relay.
Connect terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.
4. Cut (#1) wire (as shown), and connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to terminal #87a of the
relay. Connect the other side of the (#1) wire to terminal #30.
5.Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire(as shown).
NOTE:The above information andfollowingdiagram is for the GMVATS system only.
D. Anti-Grind Starter Circuit Connection:
This wire, when connected to a starter inhibit relay, as shown in the diagram below, will prevent the
customerfrom engaging the starterwhile the vehicle isrunning under control ofthe remote start.

128-8783b
10 of 28
10
Configured in this way, while the remote start is controlling the vehicle, the light blue wire has ground on it
allthe time. This ground willcause the relayto energize preventing currentflow through thenormally
closed contacts. This will prevent a customer who inadvertently turns the ignition switch to the start
position, from sending current to the starter.
6 Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input
The Green/Yellow wire of the 12 pin connector will connect to a diesel vehicles glow plu wire. When the unit receives
a start command, this wire must go to + 12 then to ground to allow the crank sequence to begin. When ignition #1
is activated by the remote start unit, the glow plug circuit gets energized, (+ 12 volts), when the glow plug circuit of
the vehicle drops the + 12 volts, which effectively grounds the wait to start input, then 500mS later the starter will
engage. This wire can also be connected to the Glow Plug Bulb wire in the vehicle if this bulb wire gets + 12 volts
when the ignition comes on and drops low when the glow plug circuits temperature is reached. Be sure to fuse the
wire with a 1 Amp Fuse when connecting to a high current circuit such as a factory glow plug wire. The fuse should
be installed as close to the high current wire as possible. If you are installing this unit in a Gasoline vehicle, this wire
is not used.

This will allow the Remote Start to shut down if an attempt is made to operate the vehicle without the key
while running under the control of the Remote Start. In most vehicles, in order to shift into gear, the brake
pedal must be depressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off.

11 White Wire: Parking Light Flasher Output
This wire is the normally open contact of the on board parking light flash relay. Connect this wire to the
vehicle's parking light feed wire. This is the wire that gets switched on, either (+) or (-), when the vehicle's
parking light switch is activated.

WIRING THE 4 PIN AUXILIARY OUTPUT HARNESS Part#1122585
The auxiliary 4 pin connector provides low current outputs to control various functions in the vehicle during
differentstagesof the Remote Startunit's operation. Understandingtheseoutputsand the timeinwhichthey
occur will allow you to determine if they are needed for the particular vehicle you are working on as well as
how to use them.
1 Black w Blue Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output Before Start
The Black w/ Blue Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output 1.5 second before the
remotestartunit activatesas well as when thetransmitter is used todisarm the system. Typicaluse for this
output would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory alarm
when the remote start unit engages or when the system is used to unlock the doors. This will also activate
when the transmitter is used to disarm/unlock the system
NOTE: Thisoutputcan be selected tooperatelike the door lock outputas set in alarm featuresetting #1 by
selecting feature #17 in Bank 3 for 2 Chirps.
2 Black w/ Light Green Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Start
TheBlackw/LightGreenTracewirewillprovidea1second300mApulsedgroundoutputafterthevehicleis
startedunder control of the remote startunit. Typically this wire willbeusedtore-lockthevehicledoorsifthe
doorsunlockautomatically when the factory anti-theft systemisdisarmed. This wire will also activate when
the transmitter is used to arm/lock the system.
3 Black w/ Red Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground OutputAfter Shutdown
TheBlackw/RedTracewirewillprovidea1second300mApulsedgroundoutput after the remote start unit
shuts down. This output will occur regardless of whether the circuit times out or is manually terminated.
Typically this output will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the
ignition circuit transitions to off.
4 Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank)
The Black w/ Yellow Trace wire will provide a 300 mAground output while the starter output of the remote
start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM
vehicles. This wire is also referred to as the ECM wake up wire in some vehicles.
NOTE: Theoutputsabove are low current outputsandmust be used with a relayifthe circuit's requirement
is more than 300 mA.
2 Pin Transponder Control Output: (Yellow Connector) Part # 1122392
a: When selected for while remote start on, the Black wire will be active at the same time ign. 3 becomes
active, and will remain active all the time the unit is operational under the control of the remote start.
b: When selected for output during the start sequence, the Black wire will be active at the same time Ign.
3 becomes active, and will remain active until the vehicle has started. This will be used for one time read
transpondercircuits.
c: When the unit is selected for until ignition off, the Black wire will become active at the same time ign. 3
becomesactive and will remain active even after the key take overand until the ignition in the vehicle is
turned off. This will allow the unit to be used for continuous read transponders circuits.

To cancel the timed start mode start the vehicle either by RF or by the ignition key.
DIESELENGINE SETTINGS:
NOTE: When selecting Diesel operation, (Bank 3 Feature #11), over gasoline, the only change is to the
ignition circuits. When Diesel is selected, the ignition circuits will power up 10, 15, or 20 seconds before
the start circuit. The intent of this feature is to allow the glow plug warming required by some diesel
engines. If your vehicle is a instant start diesel, it is not necessary to activate this feature.
ALSO: When selecting Diesel mode, be certain that the intended vehicle has a true tach reference and be
certain to connect the tach input wire. Also note, if the "Diesel Wait to Start" input is connected,
(Green/Yellow) this wirewill takeprecedence over the Diesel selectionof bank 3 feature11.
Monitoring The Vehicle's Engine: (ProgramFeature#5Bank3)
There are 4 ways that the remote start monitors the engine running, one or the other must be selected for
your application for the remote start to operate correctly.
1)VOLTAGE SENSESETTING:
The unit will monitor the voltage level of the battery during remote start, wait for the voltage to drop while
cranking,thenlook for the voltage leveltogo above the level itwasbefore the vehicle began tocrank which
indicates the vehicle is running. Feature #14 of Bank 3 must be set for preset time or the voltage sense
feature will not operate indicated by the parking lights flashing 7 times.
2)TACH RATESETTING:
1. Turn the ignition key to the On position.
2. Press and release the valet/program push button switch 3 times.
3. Immediately turn the ignition key Off.
4. Press and hold the valet/program push button switch, then start the vehicle using the key.
5. When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash.
6.Releasethevalet/programpushbuttonswitch. Theparkinglightswillturn on for three seconds to indicate
that the learned tach signal is stored and the unit is out of the tach learn mode.
NOTE: Iftheunit fails to learntachrateduetoanimproper tachometer connection orapoortachsource,the
parking lights will not flash. To correct this situation, locate and connect the Green/Orange wire to
the proper tach signal, and then repeat the tach learn routine.

3) DBI TACH SETTING
Selectingthis setting in the optionmenu indicates that youhavea DBI module andhave determined that a
tach signal is available for the vehicle you are connecting to. The unit will look at the DBI data port for the
tach signal. If the vehicle fails to start, or the unit flashes 7 times, recheck the DBI manual to insure that
tachis available foryour vehicle. If not the tach connection wire, Green/Orange must be used.
4)HYBRID SETTING:
Selectingthissetting in the option menuallowsfor Hybrid vehicles. Also feature #14of Bank 3 must beset
for preset time or the Hybrid feature will not operate indicated by the parking lights flashing 7 times.
CRANKAVERAGING:
WhenFeature14Bank3issetforcrankaveraging,theremotestartunitconstantlymonitorsandlearnsthe
cranking patterns of the vehicle each time the car is started with the key. The vehicle must be started
atleast 4 times with the key for the crank averaging circuit to begin it's monitoring the vehicle's engine.
DIAGNOSTICS:
Enter Bank 3 and turn on selectable feature # 9 as described on the front pages of this manual.
NOTE: Diagnosticmodeisatemporary mode. Once you have accessed the diagnostic mode,theunitwill
pausefortwosecondsthenbegintoflashthe last stored shut down code. This code will be displayed three
times in succession, then the unit will automatically exit the diagnostic on mode.
Theparkinglights will flash a numberoftimes indicating the reason for thelastremote start shutdown. The
light flash indications are as follows:
1 Flash Run timer expired
2 Flashes Low or no tach signal (RPM)
3 Flashes Positive inhibit wire activation
4 Flashes NA
5 Flashes RF shutdown, Remote signal received, or manual start trigger wire reactivated.
6 Flashes High tach signal (RPM)
7 Flashes Tach signal has not been learned
8 Flashes Negative inhibit wire
Multi Coil PackAdaptor: (Optional)
The multi coil pack adapter, is designed for use with vehicles that do not respond to single coil tach
programming. Althoughthe tachresolution of this circuit isdesigned to interface directwith most vehicles,
there may be an occasion where the following circuit may be required. Construct the adaptor as shown
below.
To use the adaptor, the Green/Black wires must connect to the negative side of the ignition coil(s).
1. For vehicles utilizing independent coils per cylinder, connect the three Green/Black leads to alternate
coils.Toachieve optimum performance the coil signals mustbeevenlydistributed. Thisisaccomplished
by first mapping out the firing order of the engine in groups of as indicated below. Draw a circle around
any of the columns. The Green/Black wires should be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the
respectivecylinder number which appearsin any of thecircles.
2. For vehicles utilizing 2 cylinder firing per coil pack, connect Green/Black to the tach side of each coil
pack. For 8 cylinder, four coil systems, connect to any of the three coils.
3. Connect the Yellow wire to a +12 volt ignition 1 source. This wire will have +12 volts with the ignition in
the on and start position and have 0 volts with the ignition in the off position.
4. Connectthe Green wireto the (Green)or (Orange/Green) tach input of theAudiovoxremote startunit.
