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

3 BLACK GROUND
Connect the BLACK wire to a solid chassis ground point using a ring terminal and
self tapping screw (not supplied). Scrape away paint from the grounding point to
ensure a good connection. The recommended grounding point is a metal surface
in the driver’s side kick panel area.
NOTE: Do not ground the BLACK wire with any other vehicle components.
4 Pin Main Harness
1 WHITE/RED PARKING LIGHT INPUT
2 WHITE PARKINGLIGHTOUTPUT
Locate the parking light output wire at the vehicle’s light switch.
Verification: This wire registers positive voltage when the parking lights are
turned on.
Positive switching Parking Lights:
Connect the WHITE/RED wire to a 15 Amp max fused battery source.
Connect the WHITE wire to the parking light output wire.
Negative switching Parking Lights:
Connect the WHITE/RED wire to a good chassis ground.
Connect the WHITE wire to the parking light output wire.
4 BROWN SIREN OUTPUT ( + )
Locate a suitable mounting location in the engine compartment for the siren, away
from moving parts.
With the bell of the siren aiming downwards, secure the siren in place using self
tapping screws, being careful not do drill into any hoses, wiring or components.
Connect the BLACK siren wire to a chassis ground using a ring terminal and self
tapping screw (not supplied).
Route the BROWN siren output wire from the control module through the firewall
and connect to the RED wire on the siren.
NOTE: Be sure to loom the siren wires, and seal the grommet.

3 ORANGE ACCESSORY 1 ( + )
Locate the vehicle’s accessory wire at the ignition switch.
Verification: This wire registers voltage when the key is turned to ACC
(Accessory) and the ON (or RUN) position. The voltage drops out when the
key is turned to the START(or CRANK) position.
Connect the ORANGE wire to the vehicle’s accessory wire.
6 Pin Start Harness
1 PURPLE STARTER OUTPUT ( + )
Locate the vehicle starter wire.
Verification: This wire registers voltage only when the key is turned to the
START position. Cut the vehicle's starter wire in half when installing the
starter kill relay.
Verification after starter wire is cut:
KEY SIDE of starter wire registers voltage when the key is turned to the
START position.
MOTOR SIDE of starter wire registers no voltage.
Connect the PURPLE wire to the vehicle starter wire, use the MOTOR SIDE of the vehicle
starter wire when installing the starter kill relay.
2 RED BATTERY 12V ( + )
Locate 1 of the vehicle’s constant 12 Volt battery wires at the ignition switch.
Verification: This wire will register ( + ) voltage in all positions of the ignition
switch.
Connect the RED wire to the constant 12 Volt battery wire.
NOTE: Remove all fuses until all connections are made.

92010AudiovoxElectronicsCorporation.Allrightsreserved.
4 PINK/WHITE IGNITION2( +)
Locate the vehicle’s 2nd ignition wire at the ignition switch (if equipped).
Verification: This wire registers voltage when the key is turned to the ON (or
RUN) position, but not the ACC (Accessory) position. The voltage does not
drop out when the key is turned to the START(or CRANK) position.
Connect the PINK/WHITE wire to the vehicle’s ignition 2 wire.
Programmable output: IGN, ACC, Start.
6 PINK IGNITION1( +)
Locate the vehicle’s ignition wire at the ignition switch.
Verification: This wire registers voltage when the key is turned to the ON (or
RUN) position. The voltage does not drop out when the key is turned to the
START(or CRANK) position.
Connect the PINK wire to the vehicle’s Ignition wire.
This wire is also used for Ignition 1 Output.
5 RED/WHITE BATTERY 12V ( + )
Locate 1 of the vehicle’s constant 12 Volt battery wires at the ignition switch.
Verification: This wire will register ( + ) voltage in all positions of the ignition
switch.
Connect the RED/WHITE wire to the constant 12 Volt battery wire.
NOTE: Remove all fuses until all connections are made.

2 BLUE/BLACK IGNITION 3 / ACTIVE OUTPUT ( - )
The Active Output/Ignition 3 output wire provides a ground output when the remote
start function is activated and remains until 4 seconds after the remote start is
shutdown. The Ignition 3 output wire can be used for several functions listed
below. If this wire will be used for multiple application's a 1 amp diode is required
in-line with the stripe facing the control module.
Factory transponder (coded key) bypass.
General Motors VATS bypass, see the following diagram. Use an SPDT relay (not
supplied).
Ignition 3 output, see the following diagram. Use an SPDT relay (not supplied).
Accessory 2/3 output, see the following diagram. Use an SPDT relay (not
supplied).
6 Pin Output Harness
1 BROWN/BLACK HORN OUTPUT ( - )
Locate the vehicle’s horn wire.
Verification: This wire will register at positive voltage and register
ground when the horn switch is pressed.
