This Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only!
The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable timed outputs for glow plug pre-
heat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #9). If the diesel engine has a
instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), feature #9 should remain in the default Gasoline mode setting.
For diesel applications, consult your dealer for the type of ignition system used in your particular vehicle.
Regardlessofthe vehicle,Gasolineor Diesel,forevery installation,thevehicle MUST HAVE a Tach Signal
Input, and anAutomatic Transmission.
INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROLMODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting
locationselectedmustbewithin24"oftheignitionswitchwiringharness to allow connection of the 6 pin main
wiringharness.
Becertainthatthe chosen location will notinterfere with proper operation ofthe vehicle. Avoidmountingthe
moduletoorrouting the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or
blockthe steering wheel preventing proper control ofthe vehicle. Secure the module in the chosenlocation
using cable ties or screws as necessary.
DoNot Mount The ModuleIn The Engine Compartment,as it is notwaterproof.
SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected
location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed
downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine
compartmentformaximumsounddistribution. Beforesecuringthesiren, check behind your chosen location
to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the siren
mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template, scribe or
mark the mounting holes. Drill the marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using #8 sheet
metal screws.
HOODAND TRUNK PIN SWITCHES:
Thepinswitchesincludedinthispackageareintended for protecting the hood and trunk areas of the vehicle.
In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated,
(hood/trunk open), it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the hood switch
isrequired for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle isbeingworkedon, thishoodswitch
preventstheremote start activation evenifthe RF command tostart is issued. This switch mustbe installed
in all applications Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. Mount the switches in
thehoodand trunk locations awayfrom water drain paths. Ifnecessary, theincludedbracketsmaybe used
to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In both
cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood or trunk door to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when
the hood or trunk is closed and fully extended when the hood or trunk is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4
inchholemust be drilled. Carefully check behindthechosen location to insure thedrillwill not penetrate any
existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it
using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the
desiredlocation and secure the pin switch inthe pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
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 Push-Button LED assembly needs the LED to be visible from the
outsideof the vehicle andwillbeusedforvalet modes, programming features,programmingtransmitters,and
foroverriding the remote startunit when the vehicle is being serviced.Inspect behind the chosenlocation to
insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate
anyexistingfactorywiringorfluidlines. Drilla5/16"or8mmholeinthedesiredlocationandmounttheswitch

THERECEIVER/ANTENNAASSEMBLY:
TheSuperheterodyneReceiverAntennaAssemblyprovided with this unit allows routing frombelowthedash
boardfor maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line(dashboard)ofthevehicleforbest
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 the antenna
towarda rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tapeprovided. After
securing the 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 may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the 3 pin connector toward the control module using caution
not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control module.
SHOCKSENSOR:
Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent operation
fromall areas of the vehicle. The selected locationmust be within18" of thecontrol module to allow routing
andconnectingofthe4pinharness. Securethe shock sensor to the chosen location using two #8 selftaping
sheet metal screws. The sensor can also be secured to an existing dash brace using cable tie straps.
Whichever mounting method is used be sure to allow access to the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer for
use later in the installation.
STARTER INHIBITRELAY:
Selectamounting location within 12"ofthe ignition switch's lowcurrentstart solenoid wire. Secure therelay
toanexistingharnessin the chosen location using acabletiearoundthe relay's wiring harness. Caution! Do
not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause chaffing and shorting
damagingthefactorywiring. Ifanexisting harness is not available then secure the relay's metal mounting tab
toanunderdashmetalbracewitha#8selftapingsheet metalscrew. Wiretherelayasperthediagramfound
later in this manual.
This system is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combination
Alarm/RemoteStart unit is a sophisticated system with manyadvanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed
into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and
propertydamage. IMPORTANT!

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 Neu-
tral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation
method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all
mechanical switch configurations.
Failureto make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage. In allinstallations
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.
Inbothmechanicaland electrical neutral startswitchconfigurations, the connection of theYellow wire will be
madeto the low current startsolenoid wire of theignition switch harness. This wirewill have +12 voltswhen

Light Blue Wire: Ignition 3 Output
This wire provides a 300mAground 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 a Non Plug in Shock Sensor used with the alarm system and it is not shunted during the
RemoteStartactivationperiod,thenvibration from the runningvehiclecancausethealarmto trigger. In
thiscase, connect the LightBlue Wireto terminal #86 of a external relay. Connect terminal# 85 of the
relaytoa fused + 12voltbattery source. Cut the shocksensor trigger wire and connectone end of the
cutwiretoterminal#30and the other end of the cut wire to terminal #87a. Just before the Remote Start
unitisactivated,therelay contacts will open, preventing theshocksensor'soperationuntil the Remote
Start unit shuts off.
B. Ignition 3 Output:
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 25 Amp. Connect
terminal # 87 to the third ignition wire in the vehicle.
C. GM VATS Key Override:
Ifthe vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will needto bypassthe system while
the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To DoThis;
1.Measuretheresistanceoftheresistorpelletontheignition key then select a resistor within 5% of the
key'svalue from theresistor 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 additionalinformation.
3.ConnecttheLight Blue Wire from the Remote StartUnittoterminal#86ofanexternalrelay. Connect
terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.
4.Cut (#1) wire(as shown), andconnect the ignitionswitch 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 previouslyselected 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 theAudiovoxAS-PASS II Module.

TheBrownw/ BlackTracewire providesaninstantshutdown for the Remote StartControl modulewhen-
everitgets + 12 volts. If theBrakelights switch in the vehicleswitches+ 12 volts to thebrakelight circuit,
connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output side of the brake switch. 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 de-
pressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off. See detail in the following

Green w/ Orange Trace 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
compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start unit learns the tach
rateof the vehicle and in mostcaseswilloperateproperlyfromonemulti coil pack regardless of thenumber
ofcylinders. If the vehicle has a single coil unit for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect this wire
tomore than one cylinder forproper tach reference. See multicoil wiring detail shownlater in this manual
foradditional information. Tachometer Input Wiring Detail
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
