INDUSTRY CANADA USER NOTICE (Canada):
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be
so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
required for successful communication".
FCC USER NOTICE (U.S.A.):
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized
modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
Before You Get Started …
ƇOn vehicles with a manual Transmission,
always ensure that all Doors will get the Unit out
of Ready Mode. Switch the wire used so that it
is triggered by all Doors.
ƇMake sure that the Parking Brake and Door
Switch contacts work properly.
ƇWhen working on a vehicle, always leave a
window open.

P.4 Installation Guide AS-1535 SH
ƇNever leave the keys in the car. Leave them
on a workbench with a window rolled down.
ƇRemove courtesy light fuse, if possible, to
prevent battery drain.
ƇThe Programming Assistance Button
(A.k.a. PAB.)
The PAB is mounted on the side of the Unit.
This push button mimics the Hood-Pin switch in
order to avoid having to get out of the vehicle
and pressing the Hood-Pin switch. The PAB will
work only when the Hood is up.
ƇInspect vehicle for any body damage or
electrical problems
ƇAlways solder and tape all connections.
ƇKeep the Transceiver away from other types
of antennas (GPS/Onstar).
ƇNever install the control unit where it could
interfere with normal operation or obstruct
service technicians.
ƇAlways use a grommet when running wires
into the Engine compartment. Never run wires
through bare or sharp metal.
ƇDo not disconnect the battery on vehicles
equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios.
ƇNever ground the control unit to the vehicle’s
steering column.
ƇMake sure that all the switches and controls
operate properly.
ƇVerify that the vehicle starts and idles properly.
ƇMake sure that all safety equipment is installed:
the Valet Button, the Hood Switch and the
warning label
ƇWhen wiring in parallel, make sure to isolate
each connection with a diode in order to avoid
feedback and possible damage.
Examples:
Wiring a clutch bypass and a Transponder
Module to the Ground Out when Running
wire: At the junction point, where Ground Out
when running “splits” and goes to each device,
a diode is inserted on each of those lines.
Multiple or Separate Door pin Connections:
When joining all door pins together to the Door
pin input wire of the Module, each wire must
be isolated with a diode to prevent feedback.
N.B.: The above examples reflect common
situations where diodes are used to isolate.
Please note that there are numerous other
scenarios where diode isolation are required.
ƇAlways make sure that any external relays
or modules added to the Remote Starter
Module are properly fused, and diode isolated.
ƇWhen testing the Shock Sensor, never test
on glass with an opened hand, and never hit
glass hard enough as to break it. When
testing on Metal or plastic, make sure the
testing does not result in damage to the
vehicle (i.e.: dents, broken glass, damaged
trims, etc.).
ƇVehicles equipped with daytime running
lights may not allow the installer to view
certain programming results since the daytime
running lights do no go out (Note: The
Parking Light output relay in the Module gives
two “clicks” per flash, 1 click for ON and 1
click for OFF).
ƇParking Light flashes referred to in this
manual refer to the Parking Light output of the
Module and not that of the vehicle.
Harness Description
When connecting an Autostart Module, it is important to make sure the connector with the
Ground wire is connected first before making the 12-volt connections. Should the unit be
powered before being grounded, there could be serious damage to internal components of
the unit. Be careful not to power up a Module before it is properly grounded. To avoid
any accident, it is a recommended to pull out the fuses from their sockets before the
installation, and to put them back during the very last steps.

relays. DO NOT JUMP WIRES at the IGNITION switch, this will compromise
the OEM electrical system.
5-Pin Secondary Harness
Wire Description
1
BLACK
(–) Chassis
ground
input
This wire must be connected to bare, unpainted metal (the Chassis or true
Body ground). It is preferable to use a factory ground bolt rather than a self-
tapping screw. Screws tend to get loose or rusted over time and can
cause erratic problems.
2
PURPLE
(AC)
Tachometer
input
This wire tells the Module if the Engine is running or not. It requires at least
1.8 volts (AC) and 1.5 Hz (or faster) at idle. Common Tach references are:
the negative side of an injector, the negative side of an Ignition Coil,
Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor or the Engine Control Module (ECM).

P.6 Installation Guide AS-1535 SH
NOTE: A Tach signal that is too low will cause the Module to “over
crank” and a Tach signal that is too high will cause the Module to
“under crank”.
3
GREY
(-) Hood
Switch
input
Connect this wire to the Hood Pin-switch supplied. This input will disable or
shut down the Remote Starter when the Hood is opened. It is also used for
programming and therefore it is essential that it is installed.
4
ORANGE
(+) Brake
Switch
input
This wire must be connected to the Brake Light switch of the vehicle. The
wire should be +12 V only while the Brake Pedal is pressed. This input will
shut down the Remote Starter if the Brake Pedal is pressed. It is also used
for programming and therefore it is essential that it is installed.

output
This wire provides a +12 V output (15 A max.) and must be connected to
the Parking Light wire that tests +12 V when the Parking lights are ON.
Note: Ensure that the voltage does not vary when the dimmer control
switch is turned up or down. If this is the case, it is not the right wire.
There is a also a negative Parking Light output. Only one of these
two different outputs needs to be connected.
12-Pin Accessories Harness
Wire Description
1
BLUE
(–) AUX 3
(Trunk)
output
500 mA negative output. This output can be used to control Trunk
release (1-sec. pulse) or can be set to operate as a constant output as
long as the TRUNK button is held pressed. (For Sunroof or Window
close).
Note: AUX3 (TRUNK) operates only when Ignition is OFF or when the
vehicle is running under remote control.

button for Priority Door Access, or a Horn Confirmation on the first or
second press of the LOCK button –depending on the option that was
selected in the Programming Menu (see page 13).

AS-1535 SH Installation Guide P.7
7
WHITE /
ORANGE
(–) Starter
Kill output
The unit is equipped with a selectable passive- or active-arming
Starter Kill circuit that will immobilize the vehicle when the system is
armed. This wire will provide a constant 500-mA negative output when
the system is armed (locked by remote) or if remote started. This wire
should be connected to a Single Pole Double-Throw Relay (This wire
will connect to Pin 85, on the Relay, and Pin 86 will be connected to the
Ignition wire).
A second benefit of the Starter Kill is the Anti-Grind feature. When the
vehicle has been remote started the Anti-Grind prevents the starter
motor from re-engaging when the ignition key is inserted in the Ignition
switch and accidentally turned to the CRANK position (The Starter Kill
output becomes active during remote starts).
8
ORANGE
(–) AUX 2
Output
Negative 500mA output. Can be programmed for one of the following
three options:
(1) Constant while the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons are pressed + 1 sec
after release of the buttons.
(2) LOCK + UNLOCK toggles ON / OFF. (Max.30 sec)
(3) LOCK + UNLOCK toggles ON / OFF. (Max.60 sec)
(4) Priority Door Access (2nd UNLOCK press)
9
PURPLE
(-) External
Trigger
The External Trigger wire can be used for remote-starting the vehicle
with an external device. When the vehicle is running, triggering this
input will activate Idle Mode. The External Trigger wire can also be used
to operate as a negative trigger with the Trunk Pin-switch, the Key
Sense wire or the Door Pin-switch:
Option 1 Connects to Negative Trunk Pin. When this wire is
programmed for TRUNK PIN, pressing TRUNK will activate a 1-second
DISARM output. If ground (-) is detected on the TRUNK PIN (the Trunk has
been opened), an ARM pulse will be sent 5 seconds after the Trunk is
closes. An ARM pulse will be sent 4 seconds after the TRUNK button is
pressed if the Trunk pin state is unchanged (The Trunk was unopened).
DISARM is sent only if the system was previously locked and armed. If
Secure Lock is enabled, UNLOCK pulse(s) will be sent with DISARM, a
LOCK pulse and a REARM pulse will be sent when the Trunk is closed
or if the Trunk was left closed.
Option 2 (Default: Engine Start/Stop): The first Ground (-) pulse on
this input will start the Engine, the second Ground (-) pulse on this input
will stop the Engine.

PURPLE
(-) External
Trigger
Option 3 (Key Sense (-) Input): Connects to OEM Key Sense Wire.
When the Key is detected in the Ignition Switch (Ground (-) signal on the
OEM Key Sense Wire) the Starter Kill will not ARM even when it is set to
Passive Mode. If Secure Lock is programmed, LOCK and ARM will not be
activated while the Key Sense input is active (“active” meaning there is a
key in the Ignition barrel).
Option 4 (Smart Ignition Re-Lock): Connects to the Negative Door
trigger Input. When the Ignition Lock Option or the Lock Only Option is
enabled: after the Brake Pedal is pressed and after a Door has been
opened and closed, the Doors will RE-LOCK.
10
WHITE
(–) Ground
out when
running
This is a 500-mA constant ground output active when the vehicle is
running under a remote start. The output becomes active 1-second
before the Ignition and becomes inactive when the Module shuts down
(i.e.: runtime has expired or the STOP button is pressed, etc.). The
output can be used to activate external relays, bypass kits, etc.
CAUTION! If multiple relays or modules are connected to the Ground
Out wire, ensure that they are all diode isolated in order to avoid
feedback and damaging the vehicle.
11 GREY
N/A Leave this pin empty.
12
YELLOW
(+) Glow-
plug Light
input
This positive input will monitor the Glow Plug Light in Diesel Mode: it will
wait until the Glow Plug Light goes out to crank the Engine. Connect to
the side of the Glow Plug Light that is positive when the Light is on.
Note: In Diesel Mode there is a 15-sec. crank timing delay (or 25-sec. if
the run time is set to 30 min.): if the Glow Plug Light is still on after the
delay expires, the Module will proceed to start the Engine.
(Also known as the “wait-to-start light”.) The purpose of the Glow-plug
circuit on diesel vehicles is to pre-heat the Combustion Chamber before
the vehicle is started.
When a Remote Starter is installed on a diesel vehicle, the Glow- plug
section of the Ignition circuit must be activated and allowed to operate
before the vehicle is remote-started. For that purpose, the Glow-plug
input wire of the Module must be connected to the Glow-plug indicator
light of the vehicle. The Module will only accept positive Glow-plug input
signals, if the signal is negative, use a relay to invert its polarity.

AS-1535 SH Installation Guide P.9
12
(cont.)
YELLOW
(+) Glow-
plug Light
input
(cont.)
A diode must be added between the negative Glow-plug trigger on the
relay and the negative Glow-plug wire of the car. This is to prevent
feedback effects on the Glow-plug indicator light on the instrument
cluster: the light on the dash would come on because of the feedback,
even though the circuit is off.
When the user remote-starts the vehicle:
xThe Module will power up the Ignition circuit and wait to engage the
Starter Motor while the Glow-plug indicator light is still on.
xThe Module will engage the Starter Motor as soon as the Glow-plug
light (+) goes out.
xMinimum waiting time is 3 seconds.
xMaximum waiting time is 18 seconds.
If no Glow-plug wire is found on the vehicle, the Glow-plug input on the
Module may be “timed out”. The Module will power up the Ignition and
Glow-plug circuits and simply wait for the time-out before starting:
xConnecting the Glow-plug input wire of the Module to Ignition will
hold the ignition ON for the maximum waiting time (18 sec.,
recommended).
xKeeping the Glow-plug input wire of the Module unconnected will
hold the ignition ON for the minimum waiting time (3 sec., not
recommended in very cold environments).
Connect the Glow-plug wire to the Ignition wire only after Tach has been
programmed (i.e.: Connecting the Glow-plug wire is one of the very last
steps in the installation process).

Once inside the Programming Centre, the Installer has a selection of many different sub-
menus. Once you are in the Programming Centre, you have the option of the following
menus:
a) Transmitter Programming ………………….. p.10
b) Options Programming …………………..… p.11
c) Honk Horn Timing* (*if available) ………..… p.13
d) Tach Programming …………………..……… p.14
Remember: Once the Parking Lights are on Solid,
you have up to 20 seconds to select a sub-menu.
Failure to do so will result in the Module exiting the
Programming Centre and you will have to Flash the
Hood Pin once more.
The Programming
Assistance Button
(A.k.a. PAB.)
The PAB is located on the
side of the Module. This
push button mimics the
Hood-Pin switch in order to
avoid having to get out of

The Module has the ability to retain up to 4 different Transmitter codes; if a fifth Transmitter is
programmed, the code of the first Transmitter will be erased from memory. To erase all
Transmitter codes from memory, you must perform a Module reset (See “Resetting the
Module” on page 17 ).
To program the Transmitter on a second vehicle
(Multi-car Operation), you must press the TRUNK and
LOCK buttons (of the secondary Transmitter you wish to
program) during step 2 of Transmitter Programming.
How to Enter Options Programming Mode
The System is equipped with three custom Programming Modes, allowing the installer to
custom-fit the system according to the requirements of each vehicle. When getting into the
Option Programming Mode, the Parking Lights and the Siren will flash and chirp once, twice
or three times depending on the option you have entered. The unit will stay in Programming
Mode until the Hood Pin-switch or the Brake Pedal is pressed again. Therefore take your time
to make the proper selection. To return to the Programming Centre (Main Menu), press on
the Brake Pedal.
1. FLASH the Hood Pin Switch.
Before the 20 seconds have passed,
2. Press and hold the Brake Pedal, then press one of the following buttons on the
Transmitter:

entry into a Mode.
3. Release the Brake Pedal.
Table 2
The Module can only be programmed Function by Function. After selecting a Mode
(from 1 to 3), you will be taken to the first Function of that Mode. After entering an Option
number for Function 1, you will be automatically taken to Function 2, and so on; therefore, be
ready to re-enter all option numbers for all functions of the Mode you are accessing. You
may not skip Functions.
For each Function, select one of the four Options by pressing the corresponding
button on the Transmitter:
xLOCK for Option 1,
xUNLOCK for Option 2,

conventional Tach, until the Module is reset.
Testing
Before putting back the vehicle together, it is recommended to check that the system
operates properly. The following testing procedures should be used to verify proper
installation and operation of the system. Before testing, make sure that all connections are
soldered and that the unit is plugged in.
1. Remote-start the Engine and listen for Starter drag. If the Starter cranks for too
long, carry out another Tach learning procedure.

AS-1535 SH Installation Guide P.15
2. Test Hood Switch shutdown: with the vehicle running under the Remote Starter,
open the Hood; the vehicle should shut down. If it does not shut down, check the
Hood Pin-switch and its connector.
3. Test the Brake shutdown circuit: With the vehicle running under the Remote
Starter, press and release the Brake Pedal. The Engine should shut down
immediately. If the Engine continues to run, check the Brake Switch connection.
4. Door Locks, Auxiliary Outputs and Trunk Testing: Make sure each of these
options respond to the Transmitter (if they were installed).
5. Starter Kill option: Sit inside the vehicle with all the Doors closed. Arm the vehicle
and then try to start the vehicle with the key –it should not start. If the vehicle starts,
rewire the starter kill so it functions properly.
6. Valet Mode: Make sure the Module is able to enter and exit Valet Mode properly.
When setting the Module into Valet mode, the Starter Kill function is disabled, when
pressing LOCK the Doors will lock but the Starter Kill will not be activated. (Refer to
User Guide for more information on Valet Mode)
7. Idle Mode: Make sure the vehicle properly goes into Idle Mode.
Closing Up
Use tie-wraps or screws to properly secure the Module and keep the wiring away from any
moving parts such as the Parking Brakes or Steering Column Shafts. Mount all switches in
good and accessible locations where they do not risk getting kicked or hit accidentally. Any
under hood wiring should be split loomed and tie strapped away from moving parts and heat
sources.
Always make all your connections before plugging in the Module. Keep in mind to plug the
fuses as the last step before the initial powering of the Module. Be sure to test all
functions properly before closing up the installation.
Make sure the Warning Label is applied on a visible place under the Hood.
Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs.
Take the time to properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they
leave the premises. Doing this will save time and money.
Supplementary Information
Fifth Relay Output (2nd IGN or 2nd ACC or 2nd START)
This Remote Starter is equipped with a high-current programmable 5th relay onboard that
can be used to power a second Ignition, Accessory, or Start wire.
The Unit uses a series of jumpers; each set of jumper pins represents a function. In order to
activate any one of the three possible 2nd outputs, you must place the jumper (supplied) on
one of the three sets of pins and simply connect the 14 AWG wire to the second IGN or ACC or
START wire of the vehicle.

Caution!
Do not use more than one of the three
sets of jumper pins simultaneously.
The relay output rating on this Unit is
25A max output. Defective OEM
solenoid switches can sometimes draw
up to 50 or 60A, causing the 30A fuse
to blow. Using a digital voltmeter, check
the Starter wire for amperage when
vehicle is cranking.
Ignition-Controlled Door Locks
xIgnition Lock enabled: locks all Doors when the key is in the ON position and the user
presses the Brake Pedal. Similarly, when the Ignition key is turned to the OFF position,
the Doors will unlock.
xIgnition Lock disabled: turns OFF the Ignition Lock feature.
xIgnition Lock Only: the system will only lock all Doors when the Ignition Key is turned
to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position and Brake Pedal is pressed.
xIgnition Unlock Only: the system will unlock all Doors when the Key is turned to the
OFF position, provided the Ignition Key was in the IGNITION ON (RUN) position and the
Brake Pedal was pressed at least once.
Table 7
Secure Lock
(OFF by default.)
For vehicles where the OEM Alarm can be controlled the through the OEM LOCK and UNLOCK
wires, Secure Lock saves the installer from connecting the ARM and DISARM wires and the
LOCK and UNLOCK wires to the OEM LOCK and UNLOCK wires.
Upon receiving a remote start signal the system will unlock the Doors (disarming the OEM
Alarm); 1/2 sec after the remote start, the system will LOCK the Doors.
Please note: most factory Alarm systems will not rearm while the Engine is running but will
lock the Doors.
4 seconds after the Module shuts off (i.e.: runtime expired or pressing the STOP button),
Secure Lock will LOCK (once more) all the Doors of the vehicle and REARM the OEM Alarm.
Smart Secure Lock operates as follows:
xIf the Alarm is armed and the Starter Kill is armed, a remote start signal will be
accompanied by an UNLOCK and a DISARM pulse preceding start-up. The system will LOCK and
arm again once the Engine is running.
xIf the Vehicle is initially unlocked, a remote start signal will start the Engine and enable
the Starter Kill without unlocking or locking the Doors.

Table 9
Vehicle Type – Gas Or Diesel
(Set to Gas Mode by default) In Diesel mode the system will wait for up to 18 seconds for
the Glow Plug Light to go out, before cranking the Engine. Note that the run time is
automatically extended when Diesel mode is selected.
Passive Or Active Arming
(Passive Mode by default.) The Starter Kill can be set to:
Option 1: PASSIVE Mode: The Starter Kill will arm automatically after 60 seconds.
Option 2: ACTIVE Mode: The Starter Kill will only arm once the user presses the LOCK
button.
Option 3: Passive Mode (3-minute timeout): The Starter Kill will arm automatically after 3
minutes.
