Remote Start Installation Notes:
The system senses the vehicle’s successful start
using one of the following methods:
1. Current sense
2. Tachometer sense
3. Spark or Coil Wire sense
4. Using optional vacuum switch.
If the Current Sense feature does not allow
proper operation, the tachometer sense/spark
sense wire may be used, or an optional vacuum
switch can be installed.
To use the tach sense/spark sense wire, set dip
switch #4 to the off position. Connect the gray
wire directly to the vehicle’s tach wire or extend
it into the engine compartment and wrap it
several times around a spark plug or coil wire.
In situations were a tach wire is unavailable or
does not allow proper operation,an optional vac-
uum switch can be installed. The vacuum switch
is designed to be placed in line with one of the
vehicle’s vacuum hoses and provide a ground out-
put (N/C) until the engine is started. To use the
vacuum switch, set dip switch #2 to the off posi-
tion. Connect the yellow wire (3-pin red con-
nector) to one terminal of the vacuum switch
and connect the other terminal to ground.
High-Current Wire Connections:
•RED WIRE #1 -Main power input; using the
supplied inline fuse holder, connect directly to
the vehicle’s battery or alternate power source
with a minimum 30 Amp supply.
•RED WIRE #2 - Secondary power input; using
the supplied inline fuse holder, connect directly
to the vehicle’s battery or alternate power
source with a minimum 30 Amp supply.
Note: If not connecting directly to the vehicle’s
battery, it is recommended to use separate
power sources (minimum 30Amp each) for each
red power wire.
•BROWN WIRE - Second ignition output;
connect to the wire that switches +12V and
does not drop out during cranking.
•YELLOW WIRE - Main ignition output;
connect to the main ignition wire that switches
+12 V and does not drop out during cranking.
•ORANGE WIRE - Main accessory output;
This provides +12V output to heater and/or air
conditioning system. Some cars may have more
than one accessory wire. In these vehicles add a
relay(s) to power the extra accessory wire(s).
•PURPLE WIRE - Starter output; connect to
the vehicle’s starter wire.

3
Main Harness:
•WHITE WIRE - Parking light output (+).
Connect to the wire that switches to +12V
when the parking lights are turned on. If the
vehicle’s parking light circuit exceeds 10 amps a
relay is required. For vehicle’s with independent
left and right parking light circuits, the parking
light wires must be connected using diodes to
keep the circuits separate.
•RED WIRE - +12V battery input.
•BROWN WIRE - Siren wire output (+).
Connect to the siren’s red wire. Connect the
siren’s black wire to ground.
•BLACK WIRE - Ground input (-). Connect to
a solid chassis ground that is clean and free of
paint or dirt.
•ORANGE WIRE - Armed Output and
Ground When Running Output (-). Connect to
a relay for starter defeat and starter anti-grind
protection. (See installation diagrams). The
ORANGE wire functions as a dual-purpose wire.
It provides a ground when the unit is armed to
activate a starter disable relay (using a starter
disable relay also provides starter anti-grind pro-
tection). It also provides a ground when the
remote start is engaged to activate an optional
factory security bypass module. When the Stop-
and-Go mode is engaged, the output will turn on
and remain active even after pressing the brake
pedal. Although the remote start shuts down
when the brake pedal is pressed, the output will
remain on until the ignition key is turned off.
•GRAY WIRE - Tach/Spark sense wire. If the
current sensing feature does not allow desired
operation, connect the GRAY wire directly to
the vehicle’s tach wire or negative fuel injector
wire, and set dip switch #4 to OFF. If the tach
wire is not accessible, wrap the GRAY wire
around a spark plug wire or coil wire several
times and secure with electrical tape.
•GREEN WIRE - Negative door trigger (-).
Connect to the door switch circuit wire that
shows ground when the door is open.
•BLUE WIRE - Hood switch input wire (-).
Connect this wire to the hood pin switch, this
will prevent the vehicle from remote starting if
the hood is opened. This is a safety input and
must be connected on all installations.
•VIOLET WIRE - Positive door trigger (+).
Connect to the door switch circuit wire that
shows +12V when the door is open. This type
of door circuit is usually found on Ford vehicles.
•YELLOW WIRE - Brake switch input wire,
connect this wire to the brake switch wire that
provides +12V when the brake pedal is pressed.
This is a safety input and must be connected
on all installations.

Bypassing Factory Theft Deterrent

Bypassing Factory Theft Deterrent
Systems
Many newer vehicles are now factory-equipped
with anti-theft systems that use either a resistor
coded key or a passive transponder that dis-
ables the fuel system unless a properly coded
key is inserted into the ignition cylinder. To inte-
grate a remote starter into these vehicles, you
must determine which type of factory anti-
theft system is equipped, then use the proper
bypass module for that system.
General Motors Anti-theft Systems:
Many late-model GM vehicles are equipped with
one of three basic anti-theft systems; Passkey,
Passlock, and Passkey 3. Standard Passkey sys-
tems are easily identified by the resistor chip
visible on the shaft of the key. Passlock systems
do not rely on a resistor equipped key. Instead
they use a resistance code generated when the
key is turned in the ignition cylinder. Both of
these systems have an anti-theft indicator in the
instrument cluster. To properly interface into
these systems and retain full functionality of the
factory anti-theft system,use the APV-1 module.
The Passkey 3 system, which is found on GM
vehicles 1999 and newer, is a transponder based
system (described below). Use the APP-1
module to integrate into Passkey 3 equipped
vehicles. This module allows full functionality of
the factory anti-theft system and requires the
use of a spare key.
Passive Transponder Systems:
Passive transponder systems have become the
most popular anti-theft system among vehicle
manufacturers (Ford, Honda, BMW, Toyota,
Nissan and others). This system requires use of
a tiny passive transmitter housed in the base of
the key.This device activates when placed close
to the vehicle’s ignition switch. The starter will
usually crank but the fuel system will be dis-
abled, mot allowing the vehicle to run, if the
transponder is not detected.To properly inter-
face into transponder systems, use the APP-1
module. This module allows full functionality of
the factory anti-theft system and requires the
use of a spare key.

Problem
Alarm will not go into Code Learning
Mode.
Alarm will not rearm or will not pas-
sively arm.
Flashing light output does not work.
Door locks do not lock/unlock correct-
ly, or action is reversed
Probable Cause
RED or YELLOW wire not connected
to the correct power source. Code
Learning sequence performed too slow-
ly.
Door is open,VIOLET wire is connected
to positive voltage, GREEN wire is con-
nected to ground, main YELLOW wire
(ignition wire) is connected to +12V, or
door pin switch is bad.
Bad connection on WHITE wire or the
output polarity is wrong for the circuit
being driven.
Defective GREEN or BLUE wire from
door lock connector plug, GREEN and
BLUE wires reversed, or wrong door
lock wiring diagram used.
Suggested Correction
RED wire should connect directly to
the battery. Connect YELLOW wire to
true ignition wire (NOT AT FUSE
BLOCK). Perform Code Learning
sequence faster.
Check VIOLET and GREEN wires with
doors closed and open, and YELLOW
wire with ignition switch off and on for
voltage changes.Repair and/or rewire as
needed.
Check WHITE wire. Connect a SPDT
relay to this wire and apply the opposite
polarity to the circuit being driven.
Check GREEN and BLUE wires on door
lock connector plug, Check vehicle’s
door lock system for method of opera-
tion. Reverse wiring to door relays.
