important information
Congratulations on the purchase of your remote engine start keyless
entry system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed
by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by anyone
other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty.
By carefully reading this Owner's Guide prior to using your system, you
will maximize the use of this system and its features.
system maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is powered
by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last approximate-
ly one year under normal use. When the battery begins to weaken,
operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.

using your system
warning! safety first
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
zDue to the complexity of this system, installation of this product
must only be performed by an authorized dealer.
zWhen properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a com-
mand signal from the remote. Therefore, never operate the system in an
enclosed area or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a
garage). When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or
when having the vehicle serviced, the remote engine start system must
be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It is the user's sole respon-
sibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from children all
remotes to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote
engine start the vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON
MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJA-
CENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT
LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHI-
CLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These
precautions are the sole responsibility of the user.
zUse of this product is intended only for automatic transmission
vehicles Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode
of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
(1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2)
Never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user
must also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically
checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in

7
gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized dealer in accor-
dance with the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide.
If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote engine start operation imme-
diately and consult with the authorized dealer to fix the problem.
zAfter the remote engine start module has been installed, contact
your authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote engine start
module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the product instal-
lation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety
Shutdown Circuit test, the remote engine start unit has not been prop-
erly installed. The remote engine start module must be removed or the
installer must properly reinstall the remote engine start system so that
the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by
an authorized dealer. OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE
IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED
MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE
OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED
DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE
START MODULE. UNGO WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY
FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

locking
Pressing for one second locks the doors (if the door locks are con-
nected) and activates the starter kill. The horn will honk (if connected) and
the parking lights will flash once to confirm arming of the system. While
the system is locked, the status LED will flash once per second. The Starter
Kill (if installed) will also prevent the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
The system can also be programmed to arm the optional Starter Kill
automatically (called Passive Mode). If the system has been pro-
grammed for Passive Mode, the Starter Kill will automatically activate
30 seconds after the ignition has been turned off. After the ignition has
been turned off, the status LED will flash rapidly to indicate that the sys-
tem is in Passive Mode.
If Passive Mode has been programmed on, then it is also possible to pro-
gram the system for Passive Locking. With Passive Locking, the vehicle
doors lock automatically at the same time that the Starter Kill is acti-
vated. If Passive Locking is programmed on, care must be taken to pre-
vent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.
NNOOTTEE::For Passive Mode to be effective, the Starter Kill relay must be
installed.

9
unlocking
Pressing for one second unlocks the doors (if connected). The horn
will honk twice (if connected) and the parking lights will flash twice to
confirm unlocking of the system. The optional Starter Kill will be deac-
tivated. The status LED will turn off, unless the system is programmed
for Passive Mode. In Passive Mode, the status LED will flash rapidly
when the system is disabled. This indicates that the system will re-
engage the starter kill and re-lock the doors (if Passive Locking has been
programmed) in 30 seconds unless the ignition is turned on.
disabling the starter kill without a remote
If your remote is lost or damaged, you can manually override the starter
kill. To do this, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where
the Override switch is located. Be sure to check with the installer for the
location of the Override switch.
To override the starter kill, turn
the ignition on and press the
Override switch within 10 sec-
onds. The status LED will stop
flashing and the vehicle should start. If it does not start, you may have
waited too long; turn the ignition off and repeat the process.

override mode
You can prevent your system from automatically activating the Starter
Kill and locking the doors by using override mode. This is very useful
when washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In override mode, the
starter kill cannot be activated, even with the remote, but all conve-
nience functions (door locks, remote engine start, etc.) will continue to
work normally.
To enter or exit override mode:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Press and release the Override
switch within 10 seconds.
The status LED will light continuously if you are entering override mode
and will turn off if you are exiting override mode.
panic mode
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention
by triggering the system with your remote. Just press for 1.5 sec-
onds to enter panic mode. In panic mode, the horn will honk and the
parking lights will flash for 30 seconds. To stop panic mode at any
time, press , or on the remote.
NNOOTTEE::In order for panic mode to be effective, the vehicle’s horn (or
optional siren) as well as the vehicle's parking lights must be
connected.

remote engine start
This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for a pro-
grammable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up the
engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the vehicle with
the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling is desired, the
climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower must be set to the
desired level prior to remote engine starting the vehicle.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!(1) This product is not for use in manual transmissions.
(2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the key in the
ignition.
To remote engine start the vehicle:
1. Press the button twice within 3 seconds on the remote.
2. The parking lights will flash to confirm that the vehicle will
attempt to start.
3. Release the button as soon as the parking lights flash. (In
gasoline vehicles, the engine will start 4 seconds after the parking
lights flash. In diesel vehicles, the engine will start when the
WAIT-TO-START indicator on the vehicle's dash goes out.)
4. Once the vehicle has started, it will run for the pre-programmed
period of time (either 12, 24, or 60 minutes - see Programming
Options section of this guide) or until a shutdown input is triggered.

When you are ready to drive the vehicle:
1. Insert the ignition key and turn
it to the RUN (not the START) po-
sition.
2. Press the brake pedal.
NNoottee::If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON posi-
tion, the engine will shut down.
While the vehicle is running during remote engine start operation, the
system will monitor the vehicle and will automatically shut down the
engine if the system receives any of the following shut-down inputs:
zThe brake pedal is pressed.
zThe hood is opened.
zThe shutdown toggle switch is put into the OFF position.
zThe pre-programmed run time (12, 24, or 60 minutes) has elapsed.
zRemote button is pressed twice in 3 seconds to start the vehicle.

13
take-over mode
The Override take-over feature allows the vehicle to remain running
after the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is use-
ful for occasions when you wish to exit and lock the vehicle for short
periods of time, but would like to leave the motor running and the cli-
mate controls on.
To perform Take-over mode:
1. Before turning off the engine, press and release on the
remote twice in 3 seconds (or press and release the optional
momentary switch). The parking lights will flash for confirmation.
2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. (The engine will stay running.)
3. The engine will run until the pre-programmed time elapses or a
shut-down input is received. (See the previous remote engine start
section for a complete list of shut-down inputs.)
NNOOTTEE::This feature will not work if the brake pedal is being pressed.
short-run/turbo
Short-run turbo mode keeps the engine running after arriving at you
destination for a programmable period of 1, 3 ,5 or 10 minutes. This
allows the system’s timer to conveniently cool down the turbo after you
have left the vehicle.
To activate:
1. Park the vehicle and set parking brake.
2. Remove your foot from the brake pedal and leave the engine running.

14
3. Press and release the and buttons at the same time.
4. The lights will flash to indicate the remote engine start has
entered short run turbo mode.
5. Turn off the key, the engine will keep running.
6. Exit and secure the vehicle.
7. The engine will turn off after the programmed run time.
timer mode
By pressing the remote and buttons the parking lights will
flash 4 times and then start the vehicle and run for the set duration. The
remote engine start can be shut off by the remote by pressing the
remote engine start button and remain in timer mode, but if any
other shut down zones or the ignition becomes active the timer mode
will cancel.
1. Press Timer mode buttons.
2. The vehicle will confirm with 4 parking light flashes.
3. A 1-second delay will start.
4. The system will start the car and will run for the specified dura-
tion, unless shut down by the remote engine start button .
If shut down with the remote start button the system will
remain in timer mode.
5. The system will start every 3 hours until canceled by the brake,
hood, or neutral safety shut-down wires.
To exit timer mode, turn the ignition switch on any time the engine is
running. The parking lights will flash 4 times, indicating timer mode has
been exited.

6. The system will start every 3 hours until canceled by the brake,
hood, or neutral safety shut-down wires.
starter anti-grind circuity
Whenever the vehicle is remote engine started, advanced anti-grind cir-
cuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to
the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key
is turned to the start position during remote engine start operation.
NNOOTTEE::Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote engine start sys-
tem is operating the motor and the Starter Kill relay is installed.
disabling the remote engine start system
This feature allows your system's remote engine start unit to be tem-
porarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started acci-
dentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in
an enclosed area. To disable the remote engine start, move the shutdown
toggle switch to the OFF position. The switch can be installed in a location
of your choice. Check with your installer for recommended locations.
LOCATION OF SHUTDOWN SWITCH_________________________
iimmppoorrttaanntt!!Timer Mode should be used only in open areas.
Never start and run the vehicle in an enclosed space such
as a garage or carport.

power-up
This system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power
is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from
memory. This means if the unit is in override mode and the battery is
disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the bat-
tery is reconnected the unit will still be in override mode. This applies
to all states of the system including lock, unlock, and override mode.
programming options
Programming options control your system's normal, operational set-
up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require
additional installation labor. This system's programming options are
listed below, with the factory default settings in bold:
z12, 24, or 60 minute run time. Your system can be programmed to
allow the vehicle to run for 12, 24, or 60 minutes when remote engine
started or in Timer Mode.
zParking lights flashing or constant. Your system can be pro-
grammed to either flash or to turn on the parking lights constantly dur-
ing the entire remote engine start operation.
zPassive Mode or Active Mode. In Passive Mode the Starter Kill will
automatically activate 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned
off.

zIgnition switch-controlled door-locking on or off. With this feature
on, the doors will lock 3 seconds after the ignition key is turned on,
and unlock when the ignition key is turned off.
zPassive Locking or Active Locking (doors lock only with the
remote). With Passive Locking, the vehicle doors lock automatically 30
seconds after the ignition has been turned off. Passive Locking can only
be selected when the system has been programmed for Passive Mode.
zThe horn honk confirmations for locking and unlocking can be
programmed on or off. In order for this feature to be programmed on,
the horn must be connected to the system.
