Main Harness Wiring Instructions
This guide describes in detail the connection of each wire. Some of the wires may have more than
one possible function. Please read carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of this unit.
N1/2 RED (+)12V constant power input
Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal, the
constant 12V supply to the ignition switch, or the fusebox.
NNOOTTEE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 5 A fuse in
the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.
N1/2 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection
Connect this wire to a clean, paint-free sheet metal location (driver kick panel) using a factory bolt
that DOES NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to it. A screw should only be used
when in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under dash brackets and door sheet metal are
not acceptable ground points. It is recommended that all security components be grounded at the
same location.
ORANGE/BROWN CAN-L Bus Wire
ORANGE/GREEN CAN-H Bus Wire
Not Used
GRAY (+) Trunk Release Output
BLUE (-) Trunk Status Output
GREEN (-) Door Status Output
YELLOW (+) Ignition Status Output
BLACK/WHITE (-) Domelight Input
WHITE/BROWN (-) Turn Signal Indicator Light Input
WHITE (-) Parking Light Flash Input

N1/3 WHITE (-) parking light input
Connect this wire to the “indicator light output” of the security system. Configure the security
system as a negative output.
NNOOTTEE::This input will be enabled only with the ignition OFF (not usable during a remote start operation).
N1/4 WHITE/BROWN (-) turn signal input
Connect this wire to the “indicator light output” of the security system. Configure the security
system as a negative output.
NNOOTTEE::The turn signal input will be ignored in the following case: The key is left in the ignition switch after
the ignition is turned OFF (and not taken out and insert again) and the “Prevent Door Locking if Key left in
Ignition” is enabled. In this case CAN-IM will ignore a valid arm/lock input and will automatically flash
the turn signals rapidly (100 msec on 100 msec off) for 5 seconds to notify the user.
N1/5 BLACK/WHITE (-) domelight input
Connect this wire to the “domelight supervision relay output” of the security system. Configure this
output as negative.
NNOOTTEE::This input is effective only if the following conditions are met:
➤➤
all doors are closed
➤➤
the dome light switch is in the position “light when door opened”
➤➤
the ignition is OFF
N1/6 YELLOW (+) ignition status output
Connect this wire to the “switched ignition input” of the security system.
NNOOTTEE::The ignition output will be forced to the OFF state during the remote start operation so that the
security system will not be triggered.
N1/7 GREEN (-) door status output
Connect this wire to the “(-) door trigger input” of the security system.

N1/8 BLUE (-) trunk status output
Connect this wire to the “(-) instant trigger input (trunk input/shunt)” of the security system.
NNOOTTEE::This output will be artificially activated by the CAN-IM when trunk release input is activated or the
trunk release button is pressed on the original remote of the car while in armed state, in order to prevent
the security system from triggering, in case that the trunk is not automatically released or opened by the
user within a predefined time (usually 5 seconds). This output will remain active as long as the trunk
remains opened. If the trunk is not opened this output will remain active a predefined time (usually 2 min-
utes, but no more than 3 minutes), to simulate the factory auto-relock future, or until a disarm/unlock or
arm/lock command is received on the analog inputs or read on the CAN bus by the CAN-IM.
N1/9 GRAY (+) trunk release output
Connect this wire to the trunk release input of an added security system. Only connect if an added
security system is installed to prevent the security system triggering if the trunk status output
becomes active during after the trunk release button is pressed on the vehicle’s original factory
remote control.
N1/10 not used
N1/11 ORANGE/GREEN CAN-H bus wire
Connect this wire to the CAN-H ( ORANGE/GREEN) wire in the car.
NOTE: Do not cut or interrupt the wire in the car.
N1/12 ORANGE/BROWN CAN-L bus wire
Connect this wire to the CAN-L ( ORANGE/BROWN) wire in the car.
NOTE: Do not cut or interrupt the wire in the car.

D/L Harness Wiring Instructions
N2/1 GREEN/BLACK (-) arm/lock input
Connect this wire to “lock #30 common output” of the door lock harness of the security system.
The “lock #87 normally open input” of the security system must be grounded.
NNOOTTEE::If the “Comfort Closure” option is enabled in the CAN-IM and the ignition is OFF (the windows
cannot be activated with the ignition ON), then the comfort closure function will be implemented by the
CAN-IM when this input is activated.
➤➤
If a comfort closure function is in progress this input will be ignored (in this case the alarm unit is
already in armed state).
➤➤
If the key is left in the ignition switch after the ignition is switched OFF (and not taken out and
inserted again) and the “Prevent Door Locking if Key left in Ignition” is enabled, then the CAN-IM
will ignore this input and will automatically flash the turn signals rapidly (100 msec on 100 msec
off) for 5-seconds to notify the user. During this time the CAN-IM will ignore the Turn Signal input.
Moreover the CAN-IM will send back the disarm/unlock command to alarm unit through the ESP or
Cliffnet buses.
➤➤
If a door or trunk is opened and this input is activated under valid conditions, then the car will
arm/lock when all the doors/trunk are closed. In this case the alarm unit will consider the car fully
armed when all doors/trunk will be seen closed after that. The single exception from the above is
that when the arm/lock command is received and the driver’s door is opened, then the driver’s door
will not be locked when it is then closed. There are also some cars in which neither door will be
locked if the driver’s door is opened. Also there are some cars in which the passenger’s door will
not be locked if it is opened.
➤➤
The arm/lock message for safe locking the doors will be automatically written onto the CAN bus
by the CAN-IM after the remote start status input is de-activated if the disarm/unlock driver’s door or
all doors was not received on the appropriate inputs or on the CAN bus.

N2/2 BLUE/BLACK (-) disarm/unlock driver’s door input
Connect this wire to “unlock #30 common output” of the door lock harness of the security system.
The “unlock #87 normally open input” of the security system must be grounded.
NNOOTTEE::The disarm/unlock driver’s door activated input will interrupt the execution of an arm/lock com-
mand (with or without comfort closure) or the trunk release timed status.
N2/3 BLUE (-) disarm/unlock all doors input
Connect this wire to “(-) second unlock” of the auxiliary harness of the security system.
NNOOTTEE::The disarm/unlock all doors activated input will interrupt the execution of an arm/lock command
(with or without comfort closure), an disarm/unlock driver’s door command or the trunk release timed sta-
tus.
N2/4 GREEN/WHITE (-) arm output
Connect this wire to the “(-) Arm input” only if an added security system is installed in order to
arm this system when the arm/lock button is pressed on the original factory remote control of the
vehicle.
NNOOTTEE::If the “Comfort closure” option is enabled in the CAN-IM and ignition is OFF (the windows can-
not be activated with ignition ON), then the comfort closure function will be implemented by the CAN-IM
after this output is activated.
➤➤
If a comfort closure function is in progress this output will not be activated (in this case the alarm
unit is already in armed state).
➤➤
If a door or trunk is opened and this output is activated in valid conditions, then the car will
arm/lock when all the doors/trunk are closed. In this case the alarm unit will consider the car fully
armed when all doors/trunk will be seen closed after that. The single exception from the above is
that when the arm/lock command is received and the driver’s door is opened, then the driver’s door
will not be locked when it is closed. There are also some cars in which neither door will be locked
if the driver’s door is opened. Also there are some cars in which the passenger’s door will not be
locked if it is opened.
N2/5 BLUE/WHITE (-) disarm output
Connect this wire to the “(-) Disarm input” only if an added security system is installed in order to
disarm this system when the disarm/unlock button is pressed on the original factory remote control
of the vehicle.
NNOOTTEE::The disarm/unlock driver’s door or all doors detection will interrupt the execution of an arm/lock
command (with or without comfort closure) or the trunk release timed status.
