BEFORE YOU BEGIN
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.

Tach Programming
The unit will not operate unless a tach signal is programmed or the
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. 1 long chirp and the
parking lights will turn
on
for 2 seconds, indicating that the learned
tach signal is stored and the unit has exited tach learn mode.
NOTE: If the 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 Tachless Mode is available only if a tach signal has never been learned to
the system and when activated will automatically change the
Tach
Mode feature
in
option programming to Tachless 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
()
button.
3.
The system will chirp 1 time indicating the system is now
in
tachless
mode.
