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.
2 Green 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 thenegative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start unit learnsthe tach
rate of the vehicle and in most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the
numberof cylinders. If thevehicle has asingle coil unitfor each cylinder, it may be necessary toconnect
this wire to more than one cylinder for proper tach reference. See Multi Coil PackAdaptor wiring detail
shownlater in this manual foradditional information.

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. 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.
6 Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input
TheGreen/Yellowwireofthe 12pinconnectorwillconnecttoa dieselvehiclesglowplugwire. Whentheunitreceives
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.
7 Gray Wire: Negative Inhibit Input 1

volts to the brake light 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 depressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off.

the doors unlock automatically when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed. 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/ RedTrace wirewill provide a1 second300 mApulsedground outputafter theremote 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/ YellowTrace 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: Theoutputs aboveare lowcurrent outputsand mustbe used with a relayif thecircuit's requirement
is more than 300 mA.

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.Toachieve optimumperformancethe coilsignals mustbeevenly 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 which appears 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 theAudiovox remote startunit.

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 theremote start device to
thevehicle 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.

KEY IN SENSOR CIRCUITS:
Ifthe vehicle youare working on does not have oryou cannot locatethe ECM referencewire, there are
twoalternatives available. Althoughnot preferred, the vehicle KeyIn Sensormay be reconfigured to allow
amargin of safety and will preventthe vehicle with a Mechanical Neutral StartSwitch from starting in gear.
AUDIOVOXADVISESTHATYOUMAINTAINTHEFACTORYCIRCUITWHENEVERPOSSIBLE. 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 operators manual.
Additionalinformation concerning Key In Sensor methods 1 and 2 are listed below and should be re-
viewedbeforeconsideringeitheralternative.
Method1 will allow the safety required for theremote start unit andprevent the 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 from starting 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 andmust befully
explainedto the consumer.

AFTERTHE CONNECTION OFTHE NEUTRALSTARTSAFETYWIREAS
INDICATED INANYOFTHE PREVIOUSALTERNATECONFIGURATIONS, THIS CIRCUIT
MUST BE TESTED FORPROPER OPERATION.
Retest by following the steps outlined in the NEUTRALSTART SAFETYTEST section of the manual.
COMPLETING THE 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) Apply the Caution Labels supplied with this kit to a conspicuous area in the engine compartment.
Makesure to clean the surface before affixingthe label.
