Installation Procedures
Control Unit
1.Select a location under the dash that will allow you to use the tie wraps to
securely fasten the control unit.
2. Mount the control unit as high as possible to ensure maximum security.
3.Do not mount the control unit near moving parts.
4.Avoid areas that are in the direct path of air blowing from the vents.
5. Route wires from this point, leaving slack for ease of service.
RangeMaster™ Super Heterodyne Receiver Module
1. Plug the receiver module WHITE connector into the control unit WHITE
plug.
2. Use tie wraps to fasten the receiver module as far from the control unit as
possible.
3.Route the antenna cable up through the driver side windshield pillar,
behind the headliner and behind the rear view mirror.
4. Use the small mounting tabs to attach the antenna to the windshield,
behind the rear view mirror approximately 2" below the top of the
windshield. Attach vertically for maximum performance.
Wireloom
1. Plug the wirelooms securely into the control unit and satellite relay
module.
2.Route wires from the control module and satellite relay module directly to
each connection point.
3. Separate the small and large RED , RED/WHITE, BLACK, TAN, VIOLET
and WHITE/GREENwires.
4.Sleeve these wires with vinyl tubing or electrical tape and route them
through an existing rubber grommet into the engine compartment.
5.If an existing grommet is not available, drill a hole and install a snap
grommet.

LED Indicator
1.Discuss placement with the owner.
2. Choose a location that is visible from both sides of the vehicle.
3.Drill a ¼" hole.
4. Route the LED wires through the hole and press LED into place.
5.Route the LED wires to the control unit.
6.Plug the RED LED connector into the control unit REDplug.
Valet Switch
1. Discuss placement with the owner.
2. Choose a location for the valet switch that is hidden, but convenient for
the owner to access.
3.Drill a ¼" hole and mount the switch.
4. Route the valet switch wires to the control unit.
5.Plug the valet switchWHITE connector into the control unit WHITE plug.
Zone2™ Impact Sensor
The sensor must be firmly mounted on a solid metal surface inside the vehicle.
We recommend tie wrapping the sensor to the steering column housing or
steering column support bracket. DO NOT mount the sensor near moving
parts or in the direct path of an air duct opening.
1.Plug the impact sensor BLUE 4-pin connector into the control unit BLUE
4-pin connector.
2. Route the impact sensor harness to the chosen mounting location.
3.Using the long tie wraps supplied, securely fasten the impact sensor with
access to the adjustment screw.
Additional Sensor Input
The ORANGE wire is a (-) trigger input with a 5 second arming delay. This
input can be used for optional sensors such a glass sensor, radar sensor or any
other type of sensor that provides a (-) ground output when triggered.
Alarm Armed Signal (-) Output
The GRAY wire will provide a continual 300 mA output when the alarm is
armed. This output can be used for voice modules, window roll-up modules and
any other optional accessory that requires a (-) output when the alarm is armed.

Brake Lights (Mandatory)
ICAUTION : As a safety feature, the unit monitors the brake light to
prevent an unauthorized driver from driving the car and to switch to
normal engine operating condition. For this reason, the YELLOW
brake light input wire must be connected and the brake light must be
in working condition or the remote start will not operate properly.
1.Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, then press the brake pedal and
make sure the brake light illuminates.
2.Use a voltmeter to find the one wire at the brake light switch (usually
located on the upper brake pedal arm) that shows +12 volts when you
press the brake pedal and 0 volts when the brake pedal is not pressed.
3. Connect the YELLOWwire to the vehicle brake light switch wire.
Parking Lights
1. If the parking lights are positive trigger, connect the RED/WHITE wire to
the battery positive (+) terminal through the 20 amp fuse assembly.
NOTE: Do not connect the RED/WHITE wire to the control unit RED wire.
2.If the parking lights are negative (-) trigger, connect the RED/WHITE wire
to control unit BLACK wire.
3.Connect the RED/BLACKwire to the vehicle parking light wire.
Reverse Light
ICAUTION : Some vehicles allow you to remove the gear shift
selector from "Park" even while the ignition key is not on. As a safety
feature, the system will monitor the reverse wire. If the vehicle is
removed from "Park" while in the remote start mode, the system will
shut down immediately.
1.Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position and adjust the gear shift selector
to "Reverse."
3.Use a voltmeter to find the wire that will show +12 volts in "Reverse" and
0 volts in "Park."
4. Connect the YELLOW/BLACKwire to the vehicle’s reverse light wire.
