before beginning the installation
zPlease read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The
installation of this system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems.
Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems that can be damaged
by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic probes (computer
safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before mak-
ing connections.
zDo not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If
equipped with an air bag, avoid disconnecting the battery if possible. Many
airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their warning lights after
they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which
can require a trip to the dealer.
zRemove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.
zRoll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.
after the installation
zTest all functions. Refer to the "Using Your System" section of the Owner's Guide
when testing.
zComplete a vehicle safety check prior to reassembly. Ensure all vehicle systems
are operational (same condition as-found prior to installation).

It is crucial that these connections are made correctly so that they are capable of han-
dling the current demands. For this reason, scotch locks, T-taps and other such con-
nectors should not be used.

H2/1–green (-) armed out
Connects to an accessory such as a 620C EL Indicator, pager or can be used as a
third Immobilisation output by adding a relay.
H2/2–gray (+) or (-) door trigger
Connects to door pin switch. Factory default is set for negative door trigger. If positive
door trigger is required, the positive trigger feature will have to be programmed.
H2/3–white plainview 2 valet switch
Connects to plainview 2 valet switch.
H2/4–yellow (-) siren
Connect this wire to the Black wire coming from the siren. Can optionally be used as
a horn output.

H2/5–red/white battery positive (20-amp fuse) 12V (+) input
Connects to the vehicle’s positive battery terminal using the 20-amp fuse holder.
H2/6–black/gray (-) rpm input
This wire monitors the RPM of the vehicle by the BlackJax control. Connect this wire
to the vehicle coil’s negative side or the non-common fuel injector wire.
H2/7–violet system status LED
Connects to the Status LED indicator.
H2/8–red battery positive (5-amp fuse) 12V (+) input
Connects to the vehicle’s positive battery terminal using the 5-amp fuse holder.
H2/9–black (-) ground
H2/10–blue/white (+) brake light input/output
Connects to the brake light circuit. This initiates BlackJax countdown to activation after
a door has been opened/closed. Also when BlackJax is activated, it flashes the brake
lights to warn motorists behind the vehicle.
blackjax installation
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not use any testing tool other than a digital multi-meter to prevent
costly damage to the vehicle. Use of a test light may cause grounding of sensitive elec-
trical components that can damage the on-board vehicle computer and processors
resulting in substantial cost for replacement.
control unit
Select an area behind the dash to mount the control unit, but do not permanently affix
it until all wiring and testing is complete.

ignition immobilizer
1. Use a voltmeter to locate the wire that is 0 volts when the ignition is “OFF” and
carries +12V throughout BOTH the starting/cranking and engine running cycles.
With the engine running, cut this wire. The car’s engine should stop running.
2. Connect the WHITE/BROWN wire to the key side of the ignition wire and the
GREEN/BLUE wire to the coil side.
starter immobilizer
The starter immobilizer ensures the engine will not crank when BlackJax anti-carjack
mode is active.
1. Use a voltmeter to locate the one wire that carries +12V during the cranking
cycle ONLY. This is the starter wire.
2. Cut the starter wire, then try to start the engine. If the starter does not crank, you
have found the correct wire.
3. Connect the WHITE/RED to the key side and the other WHITE/RED to the starter side.
LED status indicator
Select a prominent location on the dash or console visible through all windows.
Discuss placement with the owner.
NNOOTTEE::The LED can be top-mounted or flush-mounted. If top-mounting the LED with a
bezel, the LED fits into a 5/16-inch mounting hole. If flush-mounting the LED from the back
of a panel, drill a mounting hole using a 17/64-inch drill bit. Be sure to check for clear-
ance prior to drilling the mounting hole.
1. Verify there is adequate space and clearance behind the panel to accommodate
the LED, then drill a 5/16” (8mm) hole and route the wires through it.
2. Mate the LED connectors to the VIOLET and BLACK wire connectors as shown in
the wiring diagram in this guide.
3. Press the LED into place.
warning! On vehicles with air bags or supplemental
restraint systems (SRS) you may notice a bright yellow
tube with small wires in it marked SRS underneath the
steering column near the key cylinder. DO NOT tamp-
er or unplug these for any reason to prevent costly dam-
ages to your vehicle or personal injury. Tampering may
cause unintended deployment of airbags.
