6 Pin Main Wire Harness
RED & RED/WHITE WIRES - CONSTANT POWER (+) INPUT
Most of the main wiring harness connections are high amperage circuits so high
reliability connections must be made. It is recommended to solder and adequately
insulate each connection� Many of these connections are made at the vehicle’s
ignition switch so be sure to properly route the harness away from steering wheel tilt
mechanisms or anything that could compromise the wire insulation� Remember, the
goal is for this system to mimic the ignition switch� Keep this in mind when deciding
which ignition & accessory circuits to power. Most, if not all will be required.
REQUIRED� These wires provide the constant positive 12v power supply for the
system’s operation� CONNECTION: Connect these to a constant +12 volt supply
with sufcient amperage for remote starting. The +12v supply to the ignition switch is
ideal� Some vehicle’s have low amperage ignition switches in which case you would
need to nd a power supply at a fuse block or at the vehicle’s battery. Fuse these
wires within 6 inches of the connection to the vehicle� The two 30AMP fuses in the
harness protect the system module, NOT THE VEHICLE� Their use is REQUIRED�
It is ideal to have a separate supply for each wire but, if the chosen supply is suf-
cient enough, you can combine both wires at the same point.
PINK WIRE - IGNITION #1 (+) INPUT/OUTPUT
REQUIRED� This connection is required and is critical to the operation of the
system� It is an “IGNITION ON” input when the ignition key is turned on� It is also the
primary ignition output for remote start operation� It turns on when remote start is
activated and stays on during engine cranking for the entire remote start sequence.
CONNECTION: The vehicle’s primary ignition circuit is typically found at the
ignition switch� The proper circuit will show +12v when the ignition key is in
the ON/RUN and START positions�

6 Pin Main Wire Harness (cont’d)
ORANGE WIRE - ACCESSORY (+) OUTPUT
This circuit is designed to drive accessory circuits like climate control, etc�� It
turns on when remote start is activated (slightly earlier than the primary ignition out-
put) and turns off only during engine cranking� It will turn back on for the remainder
of the remote start sequence.
CONNECTION: An accessory circuit is typically found at the ignition switch� The
proper circuit will show +12v when the ignition key is in the ON/RUN position but not
in the START position�
VIOLET WIRE - START (+) OUTPUT
PINK/WHITE WIRE - IGN#2/PROGRAMMABLE (+) OUTPUT
This output is programmable to act as an additional ignition, accessory, or start
output. It supplies positive voltage for powering any additional circuits required
for remote starting the vehicle� The default operation is as an ignition circuit� Use
installer feature #2 to change this operation�
CONNECTION: The proper circuit will show +12v only when the ignition key is in the
position of the desired function� See the PINK, ORANGE, or VIOLET wire descrip-
tion for detail on your desired operation�
12 PIN / 10 Wire Secondary Harness
BLACK WIRE - SYSTEM GROUND (-) INPUT
REQUIRED� This input provides negative ground for all system operations�
CONNECTION: Using a properly sized ring terminal, connect this wire to the ve-
hicle’s chassis� Using an existing bolt is preferred but make sure that the connection
point is clean and free of dirt, grease, or paint� Bright shiny metal at the connection
point is desired�
BROWN/RED WIRE - BRAKE PEDAL (+) INPUT
REQUIRED� This input is a critical safety circuit which disables the remote start
operation whenever the brake pedal is pressed�
CONNECTION: Connect this to the brake switch wire that shows +12 volts when the
brake pedal is pressed�
REQUIRED� This output supplies positive voltage to the vehicle’s starter circuit� If
using an anti-grind relay, connected this on the starter side of the relay�
CONNECTION: The starter circuit is typically found at the ignition switch� The proper
circuit will show +12v only when the ignition key is in the START position�

5
BLACK/WHITE WIRE - NEUTRAL SAFETY (-) INPUT
REQUIRED� This input is a critical safety circuit which allows remote start
operation whenever the gear selector is in park or neutral (automatic transmission)�
Remote start will not operate unless this wire sees chassis ground�
CONNECTION: Connect this to the neutral safety switch wire that shows (-)
ground when the gear selector is in the park and neutral positions�
12 PIN / 10 Wire Secondary Harness (cont’d)
VIOLET/WHITE WIRE - TACH SIGNAL INPUT
This input provides the engine’s RPM signal to the remote start� This is typically
the most reliable form of engine detection� To use the tach wire, you must change
installer feature #3 to the tach wire setting�
CONNECTION: This can be connected to any trigger wire for an ignition coil, fuel in-
jector, or the signal to the tachometer in the dash� Use a digital multimeter set for AC
volts to test� The appropriate wire will read between 1-6 volts AC and will increase
as the engine RPM increases�
WHITE WIRE - FLASHING LIGHT (+) OUTPUT
This output provides a 10 amp positive output to ash the vehicle’s parking lights
(typically)� If the vehicle has a low current negative parking light circuit, use the
WHITE/BLACK wire instead�
CONNECTION: Connect this wire to the vehicle’s positive parking light circuit� It will
show +12 volts when the parking lights are on� BE SURE NOT TO CONNECT TO
THE DIMMER CIRCUIT WHICH WILL CHANGE VOLTAGE AS YOU TURN THE
DIMMER KNOB�
WHITE/BLACK WIRE - FLASHING LIGHT (-) OUTPUT
This output provides a 250mA negative output to ash the vehicle’s parking lights.
If the vehicle has a positive parking light circuit, use the WHITE wire instead�
CONNECTION: Connect this wire to the vehicle’s negative parking light circuit� It
will show ground when the parking lights are on� BE SURE NOT TO CONNECT TO
THE DIMMER CIRCUITWHICH WILL CHANGE RESISTANCE TO GROUND AS
YOU TURN THE DIMMER KNOB�
GRAY WIRE - HOOD TRIGGER (-) INPUT
REQUIRED� This is a critical safety circuit that prevents remote start functions
while the hood is opened�
CONNECTION: Connect this wire to the OEM hood switch or light� It will show
ground when the hood is opened� You can also use the included pin switch�

3 Pin Satellite Relay Port (RED)
GREEN WIRE - START (-) PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUT
This output provides a 250mA negative pulse when the large VIOLET start wire is
active� It can also be programmed for PULSE AFTER START, STATUS, or DOME-
LIGHT SUPERVISION� See installer programmable feature #5�
CONNECTION: If a negative start output is needed, connect this directly to the ve-
hicle’s negative starter circuit� Otherwise, use a relay (or RS-RP module) to convert
this to a high current circuit�
RED WIRE - CONSTANT (+) OUTPUT
This output provides a 500mA positive output to drive the positive pin of added
relay coils�
Status Light (Optional)
This system includes a status light port that can be utilized with an optional AU-
LED-SP or AU-LED-BLU if desired� It is best for the light to be visible from as many
angles around the vehicle as possible for maximum visual theft deterrence� Both of
the models listed above require a 9/32” hole for custom dash mounting.
BLUE WIRE - STATUS (-) PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUT
This provides a 250mA negative output slightly before and during the large PINK
ignition wire’s operation� It can also be programmed for IGNITION operation� See
installer feature #6�
CONNECTION: This is typically used to activate immobilizer bypass modules� Con-
nect it directly to the module’s activation input�
This system includes a valet switch that is typically mounted somewhere in the
driver’s dash area� It is ideal to mount where it can easily be accessed for program-
ming. It has a high quality double stick pad attached that can be used. For textured
or curved dash surfaces, use the included mounting disc & screw� Screw this to the
dash then stick the valet switch to the disc�

Window Mount Antenna Module
This system is equipped with an outboard receiver module. It is designed to be
window mounted high on the windshield for optimal performance and range� It is
best to mount this module using the double sided stick pad included (be sure to
clean glass before adhering)� Mount it high in the windshield trying to avoid metal
parts of the vehicle as they can create “blind spots” for the antenna� Also, metal
based window tint can have an adverse affect on performance� Route the harness to
the antenna module being sure to avoid sharp metal objects that could compromise
the harness jacket�
Tach Programming
When utilizing the tach wire circuit for engine detection, the vehicle’s tach signal
must be programmed to the remote start for proper operation� After making the tach
wire connection, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Turn the ignition key “ON”
Step 2: Within 5 seconds, press the brake pedal 5 times�
(the siren will chirp 5 times)
Step 3: Start the engine� The status lights will turn on to indicate it has learned the
current tach signal� If it does not light, check your tach connection and
start this procedure again�
Step 4: If the engine has a high idle at startup, it may be necessary to allow the
idle to “settle” to around 700 RPM� If needed, you can press the valet
switch 1 time to resample the tach signal. The status light will ash off then
back on once the signal has been resampled�
Step 5: Turn the ignition key “OFF”�
Programming Transmitters
Step 1 Have all transmitters which are to operate the system at hand� Then,
turn the ignition “on”�
Step 3 Press the button on each remaining transmitter one at a time� The sys-
tem will turn the lights off then back on to conrm that each was learned. If a code
is not received within a 10 second period, the learning process will automatically
terminate, as indicated by the lights turning off�
Step 4 Turn the vehicle’s ignition key “off”�
Step 2 Within 5 seconds of turning on the ignition, press the Valet Switch 5
times. The status light (optional) and parking lights will illuminate, conrming that for
the next 10 seconds the system is ready to learn a transmitter/controller code� To
enter a code, simply press and release the transmitter button. When the rst code is
learned all existing stored codes will be erased�
Standard Programming: Before starting, be sure the system is in an “unlocked”
state by using a working transmitter or performing a manual override�
