PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
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
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.

4 Pin Main Harness
1 BLUE/BLACK START STATUS I ACTIVE OUTPUT ( - )
This wire provides a ground output when the remote start function is activated and
remains until 4 seconds after the remote start is shutdown. Ifthis wire will be used
for multiple application's a 1 amp diode is required in-line with the stripe facing the
control module.
2 PURPLE/WHITE TACH INPUT
Locate the vehicle's ignition coil or fuel injector
in the engine compartment.
Verification: Test using the following procedure:
1. Set voltmeter to AC VOLTS.
2. Attach positive lead of a volt meter to a constant 12-volt source.
3. Attach negative lead of a volt meter to the wire to be tested.
4. Start the engine.
5. Have someone press on the gas pedal slightly as you monitor the meter. If
connected to the correct wire, the voltage reading will increase as the engine's
RPM increases.
Connect the PURPLE/WHITE wire to the negative side
of the vehicle ignition coil or
fuel injector.
3 GRAY HOOD PIN INPUT
(-)
Install a Hood Pin Switch and connect to the GRAY wire. This connection is required
for Remote Start.
Verification: This wire when connected will register ground when the
vehicle's hood is opened.
Connect the GRAY wire to the hood pin.
NOTE: Be sure to loom the wire, and seal the grommet.

WHITE
PARKING LIGHT
OUTPUT
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.

6 Pin Start Harness
1 PURPLE STARTER OUTPUT ( + )
Locate the vehicle starter wire.
Verification: This wire registers voltage onlywhen the key is turned to the
START position.
Connect the PURPLE wire to the
MOTOR SIDE of the vehicle starter wire.
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.
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.
4 PINK/WHITE IGNITION 2 ( + )
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.

will not block the driver's vision. A good location
is usually high on the windshield
near the rear view mirror.
Be careful not to mount the antenna/receiver on any
metallic window film, as this will effect system range. Route the antenna/receiver
cable to the control module and plug into the antenna port.
