OR USE THE OPTIONAL
BPG-1 GM PASSKEY & VATS MODULE
BPF-1 P.A.T.S. BYPASS MODULE
The GM PASSKEY 3 AND FORD P.A.T. Antitheft system works with a glass tube called
a transponder located in the ignition key that sends and receives data via a coil on the
ignition switch. A module that controls fuel distribution to the engine receives this
information. If the module does not receive a proper code or no code when starting, it
will cut the fuel supply to the engine. Some manufacturers of aftermarket security
offer modules to bypass this security to allow you to add a remote starter. If you do
not have one of these modules available to you, can use the following method.

PROGRAMMING THE UNIT

BEFORE INSTALLATION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ONLY
DO NOT INSTALL ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION
"" Manufacturer will not be responsible if any damage occurs on cars with
manual transmission ""
1- Before you start installation:
Verify that the vehicle is equipped with an electronic fuel injection and automatic
transmission. Verify that the vehicle starts and idles properly and inform the customer
where the location of the program/service switch will be. You must also check to see if
the vehicle contains a factory alarm system and whether it has a pin switch for the hood,
if it does not have a pin switch you must install one. Finally always use a volt/ohm
meter or computer safe tester when testing the wires.
2- Remote Start Overview
Basic Remote Start Module Functions:
Provide the starter and ignition with a 12 volt output to start the vehicle, you may also
put a 12 volt output on the accessory circuit so you will be able to turn on the air
conditioning and heater. Now you may install safety inputs to prevent the vehicle from
starting at times which can cause injury to service personnel or non authorized drivers.
Furthermore you must program the start output long enough so you can start the vehicle
without damage to the starter. Also program visual verification of the vehicle being
started, such as parking lights or LED.
3- Remote Start Basic Notes:
The remote start module senses the vehicle’s successful start By One of the following:
CURRENT,TACHOMETER,SPARK,COIL,AND VACUUM SWITCH (optional). The
module will first look for a voltage drop when the vehicle starts, if this method does not
work, use the gray wire on the main harness to sense either the Tach wire, spark or coil
noise. To do this you must first place dip switch #1 to the off position. Then extend the
gray wire to the engine compartment and tie the sense wire to a spark plug or a coil wire.
The gray wire is also designed to connect to a Tach wire. The vacuum switch is designed
to provide a ground output until the engine is started and the switch is placed in line with
one of the vehicle's vacuum hoses. If you plan on using the vacuum switch you must
place dip switch # 1 to the off position.
BEFORE PROGRAMING ANY TRANSMITTERS OR TESTING THE UNIT MAKE SURE THE
ANTENNA - RECEIVER IS PLUGED IN TO THE UNIT. !!!!!!!!
1- CODE TEACHING:
Turn the ignition key 3 times ON/OFF, ON/OFF, ON, the siren will chirp.
Leave the ignition key in on position, press the valet switch for 5 seconds until the siren chirps
3 times, Then press button # 1 on the remote transmitter. The siren will chirp once, if you
want to teach another transmitter with different code press # 1 on the second transmitter the
siren will chirp once. You can teach up to 2 different codes. After 10 seconds the LED starts
flashing, now the alarm has learned the code of the transmitters.
2- REMOTE PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES:
To enter program mode:
1- Turn Ignition key ON
2-Within 10 seconds press OVERRIDE switch 5 times. Siren will Sound with Long Chirp then
Release switch. Now in program mode.
To access feature change:
1.- Press program switch the number of times that corresponds with the feature you desire to
change.
Example: If you want to turn feature #4 off, then press program switch 4 times.
2- Siren and LED will flash each time switch is pushed.
3- Press button #1 for one sec, on remote to turn feature ON - SIREN will chirp 1 time.
4- Press button #2 for one sec, on remote to turn feature OFF - SIREN will chirp 2 times.
5- System will automatically exit program mode.
6- Once a programmable feature has been entered, the LED will flash the number of times
corresponding with the program feature that was chosen.
RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING:

Bypassing Factory theft Deterrent Systems:
Most factory deterrent systems are now using either a resistor coded key or a
passive transponder that allows the fuel system to function properly only when
the coded key is inserted into ignition. Therefore when starting the vehicle
remotely without the key, the vehicle's theft deterrent system will only allow the
vehicle to start if it "reads" the proper coded key or transponder in the ignition. If
you try and start the vehicle with any of these systems and do not bypass it then
the vehicle will crank but the fuel system will shut down and not run.
REMOTE START FUNCTIONS:
1.- Press button #4, Siren will cherp 3 times parking lights will turn on solid, LED
will begin to flash rapidly to verify that the vehicle is about to start remotely.
Ignition relays #1 & #2 will provide 12V+ output first (Yellow & Brown wires), the
Red wire on the 3 pin accessory harness will pulse to turn off the factory alarm. (If
applicable)
After 3 seconds the start relay will then provide 12 V+ for approximately 1 second
(violet wire) or until it senses that the car has started.
Immediately after the car has started the accessory relay will provide 12V+ output
(Orange wire). Air conditioning or heater should now turn on. Engine will run for
12 minutes.
2.- Press button #2 to unlock vehicle (if the keyless functions are used), and enter
vehicle. Do not hit brake pedal before turning the ignition on or the vehicle will
shut down.
3.- Insert the ignition key and turn to ignition position only! If the key is turned all
the way to the crank position, the starter will over grind and possibly damage
the starter. Once the ignition is turned on, the vehicle may be operated normally.
If the vehicle needs to be remotely shut down during the run cycle, press button
#4 on the transmitter Siren will cherp 6 times and the vehicle's engine will stop
running.

TogetoutofValetmode,turntheignitionONandholdtheswitchdownfor5seconds,
Longer Crank Times:
Some vehicles require a longer cranking time, to achieve this you must turn the
dip switch #2 to off position.
Diesel Mode:
Vehicles with a diesel engine can be remote started by placing the dip switch #3
to an OFF position. By doing this your ignition will be turned on for 20 seconds
before starting the vehicle, allowing a time for your glow plugs to warm up.
