This Remote Start System is designed for use with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit
provideswait tostart inputforglow plugpre-heat whichwill beusedfor alldiesel applications. Ifthis wire
isnot connected,thenthe unitwill remaininthe Gasolinemode setting, whichwill crankthecar whenthe
RFsignal isreceived withno delay. Regardlessof thevehicle, Gasoline orDiesel, forevery installation,
thevehicle
MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input, and an Automatic Transmission.
INSTALLATIONOFTHEMAJORCOMPONENTS:
CONTROLMODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting
location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin
mainwiring harness.
Becertainthat thechosenlocation willnotinterferewith properoperationof thevehicle. Avoidmounting the
moduleto orroutingthe wiringaround thesteeringshaft/column, asthe moduleorwiring maywrap around
or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen
location using cable ties or screws as necessary.
NOTE: DoNot MountThe ModuleIn TheEngine Compartment,as itis notwaterproof.
HOOD PIN SWITCH:
Thehood pinswitch includedinthis packageis requiredfor thesafetyshut downof theremote startunit. If
the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF com-
mand to start is issued. This hood pin switch MUST be installed in all applications. Failure to install the
hood pin switch may result in personal injury or property damage. Mount the hood pin switch in an area
under the hood that is away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included brackets may be used to
movethe hoodpin switchaway fromrain guttersor allowmounting tothe firewallbehind thehood seal. In
either case the hood pin switch must be set up to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/4" when
the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4" hole must be
drilled. Carefullycheck behindthe chosenlocation toinsure thedrill willnot penetrateany existingfactory
wiringor fluid lines. Drilla 1/4" holein the desiredlocation andthread the hoodpin switch intoit using a7/
16" nut driver or deep well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired
locationand securethe hoodpin switch inthe pre-threadedmounting brackethole.
PUSHBUTTONLED SWITCH
Select a mounting location known and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A dash knockout plug or
front dash panel is desirable as the now Pushbutton LED assembly needs the LED to be visible from the
outsideof thevehicle andwill beused forvalet modes, programming features, programming transmitters,
and for overriding the remote start unit when the vehicle is being serviced. Inspect behind the chosen
locationto insure thatadequateclearance isallowedfor thebodyof theswitch,and alsothatthe drillwillnot
penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 5/16" or 8mm hole in the desired location and
mount the switch by passing the connectors, one at a time, through the panel from the front side and
pressing on the bezel until the switch is fully seated.
This system is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combina-
tion Keyless Entry/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST
NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious
personalinjuryandpropertydamage.
THERECEIVER/ANTENNAASSEMBLY:
TheReceiverAntennaAssemblyprovided withthis unitallows routingfrombelow thedashboard formaxi-
mumoperating range. Choosea locationabove thebelt line(dashboard) ofthe vehiclefor bestreception.
Specialconsiderationsmustbemade forwindshield glassassomenewer vehicles utilizeametallicshielded
window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the antenna toward a rear
windowlocation forbestreception. Securethe antenna withdouble sticktapeprovided. Aftersecuringthe
antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed support. This will
prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat, which
mayloosen itsgummedsurface. Route theconnectortoward thecontrolmodule usingcautionnot topinch
the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control module.

YELLOW WIRE: StarterOutput
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from
starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical
Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installa-
tion method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all
mechanical switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage. In all installa-
tions it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and assure that the
vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.
Inbothmechanical andelectricalneutral startswitch configurations,theconnection oftheYellowwire will be
madeto thelowcurrent startsolenoidwire ofthe ignition switchharness. This wirewillhave +12voltswhen
the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other ignition

YELLOW w/ BLACK Tracer 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.
Thiswire providesa+ 12Voltoutput whentheignition key isturned to the“ON” position, and0 Volts whentheignition
key is “OFF” and 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.
The Yellow w/ Black wire 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.
(2) WHITE Wires: Parking Light Flasher
These wires are the COMMON and NORMALLY OPEN contacts of the on-board parking lamp relay.
If the vehicle's parking lights are a +12 volt switched system, connect (1) of the White wires to a fused (15A max.)
+12 volt battery source, and connect the second White wire to the vehicle's parking light wire.
If the vehicle's parking lights are a chassis ground switched system, connect (1) of the White wires to a chassis
ground source, and connect the second White wire to the vehicle's parking light wire.
LIGHT BLUE Wire: Ignition 3 / Shock Disable Output
This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start Unit initializes,
and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start Unit 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. Shock Sensor By Pass:
If there is Shock Sensor used with an alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote Start activation
period, then vibration from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger. In this case, connect the Light
Blue Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay. Connect terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery
source. Cut the shock sensor 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 unit is activated, the relay contacts will open,
preventing the shock sensor's operation until the Remote Start unit shuts off.
B.Ignition 3Output:
Some newer vehicles use a third ignition wire, which is required 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 #30 & #85
to a fused + 12 volt battery source rated for a minimum of 25Amp. Connect terminal #87 to the third ignition wire
in the vehicle.

C.GM VATSKey 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 Do This;
1. Measure the resistance of the resistor pellet on the ignition key then select a resistor within 5% of the key's
value 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. Consult
the factory 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 and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only. For GM PASS LOCK System
you will require theAudiovox AS-PASS II Module.

Tachometer Input Wiring Detail
GREEN/ORANGE Wire:TachSensor Input
This wire will continually monitor the engine 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 compartment and
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 number of cylinders. If the vehicle has a
single coil unit for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect this wire to more than one cylinder for proper tach
reference. See multi coil wiring detail shown later in this manual for additional information.

WIRING THE 4 PIN AUXILIARY OUTPUT HARNESS
Theauxiliary 4pin connectorprovides lowcurrent outputs to control variousfunctions inthe vehicleduring
different stages of the Remote Start unit's operation. Understanding these outputs and the time in which
theyoccur willallowyou todetermineif theyare neededforthe particularvehicleyou areworking onaswell
as how to use them.
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 wellaswhen thetransmitter isused todisarm thesystem. Typicaluse forthis
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 transmitter is used to unlock the doors.
Black w/ Light Green Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Start
TheBlackw/ LightGreenTrace wirewillprovidea 1second300mA pulsedgroundoutput after thevehicleis
started under control of the remote start unit. Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if
the doors unlock automatically when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed.
Black w/ Red Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground OutputAfter Shutdown
TheBlackw/ RedTracewire willprovidea 1second300 mApulsedground output aftertheremote startunit
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.
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 Chrysler vehicles.
NOTE: Theoutputs abovearelow currentoutputsand mustbe used witha relayifthe circuit'srequirement
is more than 300 mA.
Push-Button LED Programming Switch Assembly: (2 Pin Blue & 2 Pin White Connectors)
Routethe grayand blackwiresin the2 pinconnectorand theredand bluein thetwopin connectorfrom thepreviously
installed push-button LED programming switch assembly to the control module and plug these into the mating blue
and white connectors on the side of the module.
2 Pin Transponder Control Output: (YellowConnector)
Thisoutput isintended toallow thecontrol ofa transponderbypass interfacemodule ortransponder
bypass relay. The system also allows software selections to control the way in which this output oper-
ates, see remote start feature # 10 for setting this output.
When the unit is selected for output during the start sequence, this output 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
readtransponder circuits.
When the unit is selected for transponder on, this output will become 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. When the unit is selected for continuous and the vehicle is started via the Remote Start, this
output will become active at the same time ign. 3 becomes active and will remain active until the ignition
in the vehicle goes low. This will allow the unit to be used for continuous read transponders circuits.
Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input
The Green/Yellow wire will connect to a diesel vehicles glow plug 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.
NOTE: If the Glow Plug sense wire, Green/Yellow is connected, this wire will have priority over the setting of feature
Bank 3 Feature #11.
