PROFESSIONALINSTALLATION
STRONGLYRECOMMENDED
Installation Precautions:
Roll down window to avoid locking keys in vehicle
during installation
Avoid mounting components or routing wires near
hot surfaces
Avoid mounting components or routing wires near
moving parts
Tape or loom wires under hood for protection and
appearance
Technical Support [phone]
or go to
http://techservices.codesystems.com
Use a Digital Multi Meter for testing and verifying
circuits. DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT, OR
"COMPUTER SAFE PROBE" as these can set off air
bags or damage vehicle computers.
Use grommets when routing wires through metal
surfaces

Interfaces to communicate with the vehicle's Databus. When using the DBI port to
control the Flashlogic Door Lock and Transponder Interface modules the
following options may be available. Please refer to the D2D (Data to Data)
function list available per vehicle on the tech service web site.
Door Trigger
Trunk/Hatch Open Door Lock Control
Dome Light Supervision Factory Alarm Arm / Disarm
Manual Arm / Disarm Inputs (factory keyless controls system)
LED Port
The LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm’s status. It
should be installed in the dash, located where it can be easily seen from outside
the vehicle, yet not be distracting to the driver. Once a location has been
selected, check behind the panel for wire routing access, and to confirm the drill
will not damage any existing components as it passes through the panel. Drill a
1/4" hole, and pass the red and blue wires from the LED through the hole, from
the front of the panel. Firmly press the body of LED into the hole until fully seated.
Additional Ports
Programming / Valet Button Port
Select a mounting location that is within reach of the ignition switch, as this
