CA 550 Installation Instructions
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
Use grommets when routing wires through metal
surfaces
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.

Programming Options
RF Programmer
The RF Programmer allows you to customize the system to fit the individual needs of the consumer, using
a handheld device capable of transmitting system settings directly to the system control module. The RF
Programmer is broken down into three different programming banks.
1. RF Programmer Bank- The system control module included with the CA-550 is known as a "Master
Module", which means that the control module is equipped with the ability to operate as one of
several different types of systems. The RF Programmer Bank allows you to set up the base
features of the system you are installing. It is very important to understand that the base features of
this system can only be programmed using the RF Programmer. Please refer to the chart below
showing factory default settings (bold) to determine what options need to be changed for your
system. When using the RF Programmer to select feature settings is very important to verify that the
correct base features remain at the default settings.
CA-550 RF Programmer Base Features
2. Feature Bank 1- Feature Bank 1 allows you to turn On/Off customer convenience features.
3. Feature Bank 2- Feature Bank 2 allows you to turn On/Off remote start features.
Manual Feature Programming
After installation is complete it will be necessary to program certain system characteristics that can't be
programmed using the RF Programmer (Shock Sensor settings and Tach Idle Speed). In addition all of
the customer convenience features and remote start features.

Programming Tach Rate
The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed or tachless option is turned ON. If an attempt is made to start
the vehicle via the remote start without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating
tach has not been learned and stored. If the tach rate is not properly programmed to the specific vehicle, the unit
may not realize that the vehicle is running in certain instances reengage the starter motor.

6. Allow the vehicle to settle to a norman idle speed.
7. Release the valet/program push-button switch. The parking lights will stay ON Solid indicating that the
learned tach signal is stored and the unit has exited tach learn mode.
NOTE: Ifthe unit failsto learn tachrate due toan improper tachometerconnection or apoor tach source,the
parking lights will not flash. To correct this situation, locate and connect the VIOLET/WHITE wire to the
propertach signal,and thenrepeat thetach learn routine.
