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.

four, (5) five, (6) six and (7) seven parking light flashes.
5. Use the transmitter 0 button to scroll through the selections in each
feature bank, the parking lights will flash to match the feature number.
6. Press the BRAKE to change the desired feature. The LED will flash
indicating the changed feature.

Tach Programming
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 and
reengage the starter motor.
The Remote Start unit will learn the tach rate
of
most vehicle's single coil, multiple coil
packs, or single injector.
To
learn tach:
1.
Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2.
Press and release the valet/override button 3 times.
3.
Immediately turn the ignition key
OFF.
4.
Press and hold the valet/override button, then start the vehicle using
the
key.
5.
When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to
flash.
6.
Allow the vehicle to settle to a normal 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 fails to learn tach rate due to
an
improper tach connection or a
poor tach source, the parking lights will not flash.
To
correct this situation, locate and
connect the PURPLE/WHITE wire
to
the proper tach signal, and then repeat the tach
learn routine.
Smart Tachless Mode
Smart
Tach
less Mode is available only ifa tach signal has never been learned to the
system and when activated will automatically change the Tach Mode feature
in
option
programming to
Tach
less without the need to enter the feature programming mode.
1.
Activate the remote start. The parking lights should begin flashing 7
times indicating no tach signal has been learned.
2.
Within the 7 flash time period, press and hold the 0 button.
3.
One extended parking light flash (1.5 seconds) will indicate the
system is now
in
tachless mode.
