ABOUT YOUR NEW CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
CongratulationsonyourpurchaseofanewCrimeGuardsecuritysystem.
CrimeGuardsystemscombinethebenefitsofeasy-to-useconveniencewith
“no nonsense” protection of person and property. Please review this guide
to become familiar with your Crime Guard vehicle security system. To
operate your security system, the three principal components are first
described: the Remote Control Transmitter, the Red Status Indicator Light,
and the Easy ValetTM Switch.
The Remote Control Transmitter: Your system comes with two pre-
learned remote controls, or “transmitters”, and is capable of being operated
by as many as four transmitters. The transmitter has three buttons: A Large
Upper button, a Small Middle Button, and a Small Lower Button.
Every transmitter has its own unique, invisible electronic “code”. Each
timethetransmitterisused,thiscoderandomlychanges,effectivelyprotecting
yoursystem against“code grabber”devices,like thoseused tocopy cellular
phone security codes. Another exclusive patented feature, Automatic
Transmitter Verification (ATVTM), ensures that only your transmitters
operateyoursystem, andis explainedonpage 19. Thesefeatures,andmany
others,ensurethatCrimeGuardsystemsarethemostsecurevehiclesecurity
systems available.
The Status Indicator Light: The Red Status Indicator Light reports the
statusof thesecurity systematalltimes,andalsoserves asa visualdeterrent
to break-ins and theft. In addition, the Status Indicator Light is part of the
ATVTM visualdisplay,andisalsousedfortheAlarmMemoryRecallfeature.
Specific description of the Status Indicator Light is on page 15.
The Valet Switch: The Valet Switch has three main functions:
1- The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security operation of the
system, including the Last Door Arming feature (if used). This is
referred to as “placing the system into Valet Mode”.
2- The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with the vehicle’s
ignition key, to perform an emergency disarming of the security system
in the event the transmitter is lost or becomes inoperable. This is
referred to as an “Emergency Override”.
3- The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational
features and also for encoding transmitters to the system.
Page 4
USING YOUR CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Yournew Crime Guardsecurity system isdesigned to detertheft of both
your vehicle and its contents. Arming the system turns on the protection
operation, disables the vehicle’s starter and locks the doors provided an
interface isinstalled. Once thesystem is Armed,anyintrusionattempt will
Activate it, sounding the siren and flashing the lights to attract attention.
Disarming the system turns off the protection, allowing normal use of the
vehicle.
There are two methods of Arming the security system:
1- The first method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing its
Large Upper Button. The system must not already be armed or be in
Valet Mode (page 14), and the vehicle’s ignition switch must be off. In
normal operation, each press of the Large Upper Button reverses the
system between the armed and disarmed states.
2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to
automatically arm every time you exit the vehicle. This method of
arming is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.

Arming Bypass:
When arming the system using the transmitter, if any protected zone or
sensor circuit is in a violated condition, the affected zone or circuit will be
automatically bypassed. This is “Arming Bypass”, which allows the sys-
tem to still arm and protect the other normal, non-violated zones. In the
case of a bypassed zone or circuit, should the violated condition return to
normal, 5 seconds after becoming normal the system restores protection to
the previously bypassed zone or circuit.
If the hood and trunk zone, or sensor circuit is bypassed when the sys-
tem is armed, instead of the normal arming confirmation the siren will chirp
four times and the parking lights will flash four times to alert you. How-
ever, if a door zone is bypassed, the siren and light confirmation will be the
normal two chirps and flashes, as many vehicles are equipped with a de-
layed interior light illumination. In these vehicles, the interior light delay
would typically cause the system to indicate a bypass if the system is armed
during the delay. In these cases, the arming indication is normal, and the
door zone is protected by the system five seconds after the interior light
turns off.
Upon Arming:
• The siren will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed) unless
the silent arming procedure is followed.
• The parking lights will flash twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed).
• The doors will lock.*
• The starter interrupt will engage.
• The Status Indicator Light will begin to flash slowly.
Three seconds after arming, the security system becomes fully armed, and
will activate to an alarm condition should an intrusion attempt be detected.
LAST DOOR ARMING BY EXITING THE CAR
Last Door Arming:
Last Door Arming is a programmable feature which configures the system
to arm itself without needing a command from the transmitter. This conve-
nient feature offers a high level of security and may entitle the vehicle owner
to an insurance discount since the user does not need to remember to arm
the system each time the vehicle is exited.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed
Page 6
The Last Door Arming process:
1- When the vehicle’s ignition has been turned off, the system waits until a
door is opened. When the door is closed, or when the last door is closed
when more than one door is opened, the siren will chirp twice, the park-
ing lights will flash twice, and the Status Indicator Light will begin flash-
ing rapidly. The Last Door Arming countdown has begun.
2- Thirty seconds later the siren will again chirp twice, the parking lights
will again flash twice, the starter interrupt will engage, and the Status
Indicator Light will begin flashing slowly. If programmed to do, the
vehicle’s doors will also lock.* Three seconds after these actions occur,
the system is fully armed.
Notes:
-If a door is reopened during the thirty second period between the first
and second set of double chirps, the countdown will stop and reset. When
the reopened door is closed again, the 30 second countdown starts over
again at the beginning.
-Last Door Arming is separate from, and does not effect the operation of
arming by using the transmitter.
- All protected points must be closed or otherwise in a non-violated state
for the Last Door Arming sequence to start. Unlike active arming from
the transmitter, the system can not bypass an open or detected zone and
arm itself.
To temporarily prevent the system from arming itself:
- Place the system in Valet Mode using the Valet Switch (page 14).
- Leaveavehicledooropen. Althoughthisvariesdependingonthevehicle,
in many cases turning on the interior light will be detected by the system
as an open door.
- Although the system will not Last Door Arm while the ignition is on,
leaving the ignition key turned on without the engine running is not
recommended.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed
The Last Door Arming feature may be coupled, if desired, with the auto-
matic locking of the vehicle’s doors when the system arms itself.*

While the system is in the Armed state:
• The Status Indicator Light will be flashing slowly to confirm that the
system is armed, and also serve as a visual deterrent.
• The starter interrupt circuit is engaged.
• Protected zones are being monitored for intrusion attempts.
Should an activation into the alarm condition occur:
• The electronic siren will loudly sound.
• The parking lights will flash.
• The doors will lock,* regardless of their locked or unlocked status. This
feature is unique- if the system detects that a door is opened, it waits until
the door is closed before relocking it, denying the thief reentry.

the system will reactivate for up to two additional alarm cycles. After the
third alarm cycle the system will automatically rearm and bypass the open
zone until that zone returns to a normal “non-violated” state.
• Once the system resets after it has been activated, upon disarming the
audible and visual confirmation will change to indicate the activation.
This is the “Activation Alert”, which is explained on page 10.
SYSTEM ARMED & ACTIVATED
There are three methods of Disarming the security system:
1- The first method is to press and release the transmitter’s Large Upper
Button to disarm the system. This is the normal “daily use” method.
2- The second method is to press and release twice within 5 seconds the
transmitter’s Small Middle Button. This is “silent Disarming”.
3- The third method is for emergencies, should the transmitter become lost
or inoperable. This is the “Emergency Override”, and uses the ignition
key and Valet Switch.

Automatic Rearming:
Automatic Rearming is a programmable feature which ensures that your
system is never inadvertently disarmed. It is possible to accidentally or
unknowingly operate the transmitter from a pocket or purse. You may not
even be aware of an accidental disarming due to the enhanced operating
distance offered by the Extended Range Transmitter.
How It Works:
Whenever the system is disarmed by the transmitter, this feature starts a 90
second countdown, which is indicated by a rapidly flashing Status Indicator
Light. During this 90 second period, if no protected entry points are opened
and the vehicle’s ignition is NOT turned on, the system will automatically
arm itself at the end of the countdown. If desired, the system can also be
programmed to automatically relock the doors when this occurs.
Notes:
- Turning the vehicle’s ignition on cancels Automatic Rearming.
very useful when the vehicle is exposed to environmental conditions, such
as storms, trains or heavy vehicles, which may cause false activations.
Safety Disarm is a temporary “one time” operation which occurs only
while the system is activated. To remotely unlock the doors after a Safety
Disarm, simply arm, then disarm the system again.
Emergency Override:
In the event that your transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries have
become exhausted, the Valet Switch and the vehicle’s ignition key may be
usedto disarm thesystem. Pleasenote that forthis operation thepressingof
the Valet Switch may be customized; this is the SecureCode feature, the
programming of which is described on page 23.
The following Emergency Override instructions reflect the SecureCode
entry of the Valet Switch as the “as received” default setting of “1 press”.
Instead of “1 press” of the Valet Switch, a customized programming of the
SecureCode would require from 2 to 12 presses.
To Disarm the System without using a Transmitter:
Step 1. With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the
driver's door (be aware that the system will activate to an alarm
condition when the door is opened).
Step 2. Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
Step 3. Within 5 seconds, enter the SecureCode by pressing and releasing
the Valet Switch once. The system will disarm.
DISARMING BY EMERGENCY OVERRIDE
Page 11
- Opening a door will suspend the 90 second countdown.
- All protected zones must remain non-violated during the 90 second
Automatic Rearming period. For example, if a vehicle door is opened
during the 90 second period, the countdown will stop. When the door is
closed, the system resets and starts a new 90 second countdown period.
- The Automatic Rearming sequence is indicated by a fast flashing Status
IndicatorLight,unlessthesystemhasbeenactivated,inwhichcaseaZone
Violation Code will flash instead (page 15). The ignition switch must be
turned on to erase a Zone Violation Code.
- If the system is disarmed while it is activated (siren sounding and lights
flashing) Safety Disarm will cancel the Automatic Rearming for that
disarming operation only. The next time the system is armed, Automatic
Rearming will be initiated upon the subsequent disarming.

Automatic Rearming:
Automatic Rearming is a programmable feature which ensures that your
system is never inadvertently disarmed. It is possible to accidentally or
unknowingly operate the transmitter from a pocket or purse. You may not
even be aware of an accidental disarming due to the enhanced operating
distance offered by the Extended Range Transmitter.
How It Works:
Whenever the system is disarmed by the transmitter, this feature starts a 90
second countdown, which is indicated by a rapidly flashing Status Indicator
Light. During this 90 second period, if no protected entry points are opened
and the vehicle’s ignition is NOT turned on, the system will automatically
arm itself at the end of the countdown. If desired, the system can also be
programmed to automatically relock the doors when this occurs.
Notes:
- Turning the vehicle’s ignition on cancels Automatic Rearming.
very useful when the vehicle is exposed to environmental conditions, such
as storms, trains or heavy vehicles, which may cause false activations.
Safety Disarm is a temporary “one time” operation which occurs only
while the system is activated. To remotely unlock the doors after a Safety
Disarm, simply arm, then disarm the system again.
Emergency Override:
In the event that your transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries have
become exhausted, the Valet Switch and the vehicle’s ignition key may be
usedto disarm thesystem. Please note thatfor this operationthe pressing of
the Valet Switch may be customized; this is the SecureCode feature, the
programming of which is described on page 23.
The following Emergency Override instructions reflect the SecureCode
entry of the Valet Switch as the “as received” default setting of “1 press”.
Instead of “1 press” of the Valet Switch, a customized programming of the
SecureCode would require from 2 to 12 presses.
To Disarm the System without using a Transmitter:
Step 1. With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the
driver's door (be aware that the system will activate to an alarm
condition when the door is opened).
Step 2. Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
Step 3. Within 5 seconds, enter the SecureCode by pressing and releasing
the Valet Switch once. The system will disarm.
DISARMING BY EMERGENCY OVERRIDE
Page 11
- Opening a door will suspend the 90 second countdown.
- All protected zones must remain non-violated during the 90 second
Automatic Rearming period. For example, if a vehicle door is opened
during the 90 second period, the countdown will stop. When the door is
closed, the system resets and starts a new 90 second countdown period.
- The Automatic Rearming sequence is indicated by a fast flashing Status
IndicatorLight,unlessthesystemhasbeenactivated,inwhichcaseaZone
Violation Code will flash instead (page 15). The ignition switch must be
turned on to erase a Zone Violation Code.
- If the system is disarmed while it is activated (siren sounding and lights
flashing) Safety Disarm will cancel the Automatic Rearming for that
disarming operation only. The next time the system is armed, Automatic
Rearming will be initiated upon the subsequent disarming.

ENTER THE VEHICLE
AND USE YOUR KEY TO
TURN THE IGNITION ON
If the SecureCode entry of the Valet Switch is the “as received” default
setting of “1 press”, the system will disarm the moment the Valet Switch is
released from the single press. If a customized SecureCode has been
programmed, the system will disarm a few seconds after the correct entry.
If an incorrect entry is made, the system will not disarm.

BACKUP BATTERY
Thissecuritysystemisequippedwithabackupbatteryinsidethecontrol
module. The backup battery will provide an alternative power source to
operate the Crime Guard system if the vehicle's battery is disconnected. A
built-in protection circuit will not allow the backup battery to supply power
into the vehicle's electrical system.
While operating on the backup battery, the system will not have the
flashing lights output, the Status Indicator Light, nor power any sensors in
order to conserve power. The siren will continue to operate at its maximum
sound output, all protected entry zones (besides the sensor) will continue to
be monitored, and the Starter Interrupt will operate while the system is
armed. The backup battery should be replaced by your authorized Crime
Guard dealer every 18 months, or any time the backup battery has operated
the system on its own.
Anticipated life for the backup battery under following conditions:
• 2 days as the system’s only power source while armed.
• 25 activated alarm cycles: An activated cycle has a 30 second duration
during which the siren is sounding. The cycle ends when the system auto-

The Crime Guard 328i3is a sophisticated, yet flexible security and
convenience system. Many of its operations may be configured as the user
desires- “Programming Mode” allows you the ability to configure 20
operational features. Another programming level allows you to add
transmitters to operate your system, and an additional programming level
enables you customize the SecureCode.
Your vehicle ignition key and the Valet Switch are used to enter the
Programming Mode, following the three steps listed below. Once in
Programming Mode, the Valet Switch is used to access the desired feature,
andthetransmitteristhenusedtochangethechosenfeature’sstatus. During
theprocess,thesirenandtheStatusIndicatorLightindicatecertainconditions
of Programming Mode and the chosen feature’s status.
Once the system is in Programming Mode, the Valet Switch is then
pressed and released the number of times equal to the feature number which
istobe accessedfor programming. Afterpressingthe ValetSwitchasmany
times as the feature number, the siren will chirp the same number of times
and the Status Light will also flash the same number, between pauses.
Once the feature has been selected its status, or setting, can be chosen by
pressing the appropriate button on the transmitter. Basically, pressing the
transmitter’s Large Upper Button turns the feature on, or pressing the
transmitter’s Small Lower Button turns the feature off. Features which are
not “on or off” features, such as the alarm duration of 30 or 60 seconds, are
noted otherwise.
To Enter Programing Mode:
Step 1: Turn the vehicles’s ignition on.
Step 2: Turn the ignition off.
Step 3: Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch 5 times.
-The siren will chirp then sound briefly and the Status Light will
flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode.
-Once in Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming
activity occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode. Pro-
gramming activity is the pressing of the Valet Switch or press-
ing a transmitter button once a feature is accessed.
To Access a Feature:
Step 4: Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same
number of times as the desired feature’s number.
-The siren will chirp and the Status Light will flash as many times
as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the feature number
which is now accessed.

To Change a Feature:
Step 5: After accessing the desired feature, within 10 seconds Press &
Release either the transmitter’s Large Upper Button or the Small
Lower Button.
-Pressing the Large Upper Button turns the feature on; the siren
will chirp once and the Status Light will turn on.
-Pressing the Small Lower Button turns the feature off; the siren
will chirp twice and the Status Light will turn off.
To Access and Change further Features:
Step 6: If there are more features to be programmed, within 10 seconds
of the previous action Press & Release the Valet Switch the same
number of times as the next desired feature’s number.
-Again the siren will chirp and the Status Light will flash as many
times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the new
feature number which is now accessed.
-Use the transmitter as described in Step 5 to change the newly
accessed feature as desired.
-Repeat this Step 6 for each additional feature until all features
are programmed.
To Exit Programing Mode:
Step 7: Allow 10 seconds to pass without performing any programming
actions; or, turn the vehicles’s ignition in.
-The siren will sound briefly and the Status Light will go out to
confirm that the system is exiting Programing Mode.
Important Note: Once the system is in Programming Mode, if at any time
10secondselapsewithoutprogrammingactivity,thesystemwillautomatically
exit Programming Mode. To prevent the system from prematurely exiting
Programming Mode, the feature can entered again by pressing the Valet
Switch,orifafeatureisaccessed,bypressingeitherofthebuttons. Features
can be selected in any order as desired.
