Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
HOOD PIN SWITCH: PART# 1363699
Thepin switchincluded in this package isintended forprotecting thehood areaof thevehicle. Inall cases,
theswitch must be mounted to a groundedmetal surface. When thepin switch is activated, (hood open),
itwill supply aground to theinput wire activatingthe alarm. Inaddition, the hoodswitch is requiredfor 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.
THE PUSH-BUTTON PROGRAM SWITCH/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA: PART # 1181230
The Superheterodyne ReceiverAntenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the
dashboardformaximum operatingrange. Choosea locationabovethe beltline (dashboard)of the vehicle
for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles
utilizea metallic shielded window glass thatwill inhibitor restrictRF reception.In thesevehicles, routethe
antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape
provided. IMPORTANT!

Thiswire provides a 300 mAground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote StartUnit
initializes,and remains groundedwhile running plus an additional 2 secondsafter theRemote Start Igni-
tion1 turns off.In allof the applicationsdescribed below, arelay will be required.The Light Bluewire 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
toterminal #30 and theother end of thecut wire to terminal#87a. Just before theRemote Startunit is
activated,the relay contacts will open,preventing the shocksensor's operation untilthe Remote Start
unit shuts off.

3) DBI TACH SETTING:
Selectingthis setting inthe option menuindicates that youhave a DBImodule and havedetermined that a
tach signal is available for the vehicle you are connecting to. The unit will look at the DBI data port for the
tachsignal. Ifthe vehiclefails to start, or the unit flashes 7 times, recheck theDBI manualto insurethat tach
isavailable for yourvehicle. If notthe tach connectionwire, Green/Orange mustbe used.
4)HYBRIDSETTING:
Selectingthis setting inthe option menu allows for Hybrid vehicles.Alsofeature #14of Bank 3 mustbe set
for preset time or the Hybrid feature will not operate indicated by the parking lights flashing 7 times.
CRANKAVERAGING:
When Feature 14 Bank 3 is set for crank averaging, the remote start unit constantly monitors and learns
the 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: Diagnosticmode isa temporary mode.Once you haveaccessed thediagnostic mode, theunit will
pause for two seconds then begin to flash the last stored shut down code. This code will be
displayed three times in succession, then the unit will automatically exit the diagnostic on mode.
Theparking lightswill flash anumber of times indicating thereason for thelast remotestart 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 thiscircuit is designedto 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.To achieveoptimum performance the coil signalsmust beevenly distributed.Thisis accomplished
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 whichappears in any ofthe circles.
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 wire to the (Green) or(Orange/Green) tachinput of theAudiovoxremote start unit.

when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is
in any position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the
start position or be removed from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation
while the vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of this potential
problem,this installation requires the additional connectionof a safety wire from the remote start device to
the vehicle Park/Neutral ECM Input or the vehicle key in sensor. This connection will prevent remote start
operation if the key is left in the ignition switch regardless of the gear selectors position.

KEYIN SENSOR CIRCUITS:
Ifthe vehicle youare working ondoes not have or you cannot locatethe ECM referencewire, there are
twoalternatives available.Althoughnotpreferred, the vehicle Key InSensor maybe reconfiguredto allow
amargin of safety and will prevent the vehicle with a MechanicalNeutral StartSwitch fromstarting in gear.
AUDIOVOXADVISESTHATYOU MAINTAINTHEFACTORYCIRCUITWHENEVERPOSSIBLE.The
following two circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.
NOTE: When completing an installation using either of the following key in sensor circuits, if the operator
inserts the ignition key while the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start, the
vehicle will shut down. This must be explained to the operator as it is in contrast to the normal
operation of a vehicle utilizing an electrical neutral start switch and is inconsistent with the
operator's manual.
Additionalinformation concerning KeyIn Sensor methods1 & 2are listed belowand should be reviewed
beforeconsideringeitheralternative.
Method1 will allowthe safety required for the remote startunit and preventthe vehicle fromstarting while
in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, if the key is left in
the ignition switch and the door is left opened, the added relay will be energized causing a 150mA drain
on the battery.
Method2 will allowthe safety required for the remote startunit and preventthe vehicle fromstarting while
in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, the original factory
key in chime module will not alert the owner that the key has been left in the ignition switch. In addition,
this may also effect other warning tones such as the light on reminder.
Thesesituations should be carefully consideredbefore altering thevehicle's wiring and must befully
explainedto the consumer.

METHOD 1
To connect to the key in sensor as shown in method 1:
1. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.
2. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.
3. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder .
4.Cut thiswire andconnect the ignition cylinder sideto terminal30 ofa P&B VF45F11or equivalentrelay.
5. Connect the cathode (striped) side of a 4002 series diode to this same wire, and connect the (non
striped) side to the negative shut down safety wire (Gray / Black) of theAudiovox Remote Start Unit.
6. Connect terminal 86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt constant battery source.
7. Connect terminal 87 of the relay to the Chime Module side of the previously cut wire in step D.
8.Connect terminal 85 of the relay tothe Drivers Door sideof the pin switch wire previously cutin step B.
NOTE:Asecond 4002 seriesdiode maybe required tomaintainthe integrityof thehood open, shutdown
circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non
Striped) side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode
(Striped) side must be connected to the hood pin switch. If the hood pin switch is also used for an
alarm trigger input, be certain to use the dual diode set up shown earlier in this manual.

METHOD 2:
To connect to the key in sensor circuit as shown for method 2:
1. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.
2. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.
3. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder .
4. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to the Remote Start Negative Safety Shut down
Wire Gray/Black, using a 4002 series diode as shown above.
NOTE:Asecond 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut
down circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non
Striped) side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit.The cathode (Striped)
side must be connected to the hood pin switch.If the hood pin switch is also used for an alarm trigger
input, be certain to use the dual diode set up shown earlier in this manual.
AFTERTHE CONNECTION OFTHE NEUTRALSTART SAFETYWIREAS
INDICATED INANYOFTHE PREVIOUSALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS,THISCIRCUIT
MUST BE TESTED FORPROPER OPERATION.
Retest by following the steps outlined in the NEUTRALSTART SAFETYTEST section of the manual.

COMPLETINGTHE INSTALLATION
1. Mount the control module up and behind the dash securing it in place with cable ties or screws. Be
certain that the chosen mounting location will not inhibit any of the controls of the vehicle.
2. Securely harness and tie all wiring up and away from all hot and moving parts that they may come in
contact with under the dash board or in the engine compartment areas.
CAUTION: Particularly avoid the area around the steering shaft and column, as wires can wrap around
thesemechanisms and impairthe safe operationof the vehicle.
3. Applythe Caution Labelssupplied with thiskit to a conspicuous area in theengine compartment.Make
sureto clean thesurface before affixingthe label.
4. Check the vehicle's wipers, lights, horn, etc.... to insure proper operation.
5. Replace all panels that were removed during installation, and retest the system.
6. Explain all activated features and safety systems associated with the Remote Start Unit installed.Also
point out the location of the Push-Button LED Override/Valet switch to the customer and explain its
operation.
