CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!!
DO NOT remote start the vehicle in a closed garage. Make sure that the garage door is open or there is adequate
ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon Monoxide fumes.
DO NOT ROUTE ANY WIRING THAT MAY BECOME ENTANGLED with the brake/gas pedals, steering column, or
any other moving parts in the vehicle.
REMOVE MAIN SYSTEM FUSE(S) before jump-starting the vehicle or charging the battery at high boost. DAMAGE
MAY OCCUR TO SYSTEM IF PROPER PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.
DO NOT exceed the rated output current of any circuit on the Remote start module. Failure to observe this warning
will result in damage to the unit. Output currents are listed where applicable throughout this manual.
DO NOT extend the Remote start ignition harness length. Mount the module so that main harness reaches all
ignition switch wiring. Extending these wires could result in poor performance.
COMPONENT MOUNTING
CONTROL MODULE: The alarm control module should be mounted in a concealed location. DO NOT mount the
control unit in the engine compartment. Fasten the module to a bracket or wire harness using the cable ties
provided.
ANTENNA MODULE: For optimum range and performance, the antenna/receiver module should be located high up
on the front windshield glass. For example: behind the rearview mirror. Note: Window tints or Films may decrease
the range of the system. The mounting surface for the antenna should be clean and dry.
SIREN MOUNTING: Mount the siren under the hood to fender-well or other body surface with the open end facing
downward. Run the red siren wire through the firewall using a rubber grommet. Ground the black wire to the body
metal near the siren.
LED: Mount the red LED in a visible location on the dashboard or console.
SHOCK SENSOR: Mount the included shock sensor with wire ties to an under dash wire harness or fasten with
screws to firewall or side paneling.
OVERRIDE/PROGRAM/VALET BUTTON: Mount the Override/Program push-button in a hidden but accessible
location. This button is required for emergency disarm, programming, and valet mode.

WIRING: 3-PIN Connector
White/Red: Tachometer Input
When installing this system in TACH REFERENCE mode, this wire must be connected to a valid source of AC
voltage. This wire allows the unit to sense the engine running. See Tach Section on Page 15 for more information.
Black: Chassis Ground
Connect to body metal of the vehicle using a sheet metal screw and a star washer to ensure a good ground. Keep
the Ground wire short. Scrape away and paint or debris from ground location.
WHITE: +12V or (-) 500mA NEGATIVE PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT:
Connect to vehicle parking light circuit at the back of light switch or if this is not possible, connect directly to one of
the parking lights at the front of the vehicle. If your vehicle has a multiplex lighting system that requires a (-)
Negative parking light output, then move the jumper from (+) to (-). See Jumper Pin Diagram. Some European
vehicles require separate left and right circuits. Use a dual relay or diodes to isolate the output.
NOTES: (1) Default parking light output is +12 volts. (2) Use an external relay for vehicles that draw excess
current from extra running lights, light bars, or trailers. Parking light output is limited to +10 or -.5 AMPS
only.
WIRING: 5-PIN Connector
Violet: (+) Door Pin Switch Input
Same as the GREEN wire below except this wire is used for vehicles that show a positive voltage (12 volts) when
the door is open and a ground when doors are closed as in many Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.
Green: (-) Door Pin Switch Input
Identify the wire that reads ground when any door is open and 12 volts when all doors are closed. Some vehicles
may have isolated door triggers. In this case you may need to run additional wires from other doors or go directly to
the wire that triggers the vehicle’s interior dome light. Sometimes newer vehicles contain a separate body control
module (BCM) where the door trigger circuit can be located. Most vehicles will NOT require the use of BOTH Green
and Violet door trigger wires.
Blue: (-) Hood/Trunk Pin Switch Input
Input trigger for a grounding hood or trunk pin switch. Connect to existing hood and trunk pin switches that read
ground when open. If no existing switches are available, install new pin switches if desired. Note: DO NOT mount
new pin switches in water pathways.

Pink: (+12V) +/- Diesel Glow Plug Input or Car Jack Input (Programmable Input Wire)
+/- Glow Plug Input (Diesel Vehicles Only)
Connect Pink wire to indicator circuit that shows a (- or +) Signal while the “WAIT TO START LAMP” is on.
When this wire is used, the CS2011RS/2015FM system will wait until light turns off before attempting a remote
start. Note: This input is jumper selectable for Positive or Negative type signals. See Jumper Pin diagram for
jumper configuration.
Carjack Trigger
When using Carjack protection, connect this Pink wire to a toggle switch, or positive door trigger or ignition
depending on your level of Carjack protection. When +12V is applied to this wire, with the IGN on, then
Carjack is armed. If a door is opened then closed, a Carjack countdown will begin. See Diagram Below for
wiring configurations. DO NOT connect the Pink Carjack wire to Ignition unless there is extreme danger of a
Carjack. When using the Ignition, Carjack is armed all the time and must be reset each time a door is opened
and closed.

WIRING: 4-PIN (BLUE) Door Lock Connection Port (For External Modules)
There is now a Blue 4-pin output port for use when
installing your system along with an optional
Crimestopper Data Bus door lock interface module.
Some new vehicles require a special door lock
interface module. Check your Crimestopper catalog
or Crimestopper’s website for the latest list of vehicles
requiring Data Bus door lock interfaces. To save time
just connect the 4-pin input harness of a Crimestopper
Data Bus Interface Module into this Blue port and
make the remaining connections according to the data
module’s instructions. If using an External Data Bus
module, you will no longer require the standard 3-pin
