Congratulations on your purchase of this convenience system by
Omega Research & Development, Inc., a world leader in vehicle security
and conveince products since 1975. This system is designed to offer ease
of use and it’s modular design allows for many features to be customiz-
able to suit your needs.
 Pleasenotethatthismanualiswrittentoreectthefullcapabilityof
this system though some features may not be available to you because
of vehicle limitations and/or chosen options at the time of installation. It is
alsowrittentoreecttheoperationsintheirdefaultcongurations.
This system has three principal user components that you should famil-
iarize yourself with:
The Status Lights which indicate the current system status and helps
in troubleshooting failed remote start attempts as well as in customizing
theprogrammablefeatures.Thespecicoperationsofthelightsare
described on page 5.
The Valet Switch is used to access transmitter and feature program-
ming. It is also used to place the system in valet mode which temporarily
bypasses the remote start feature. See page 6.
To remote start your vehicle, press the button or button combinations on your
alarm/keylessentry’stransmitterthatwereconguredtoactivatethisfeature.Ifyou
are unsure, consult with your installer to learn how to activate the system. You can
write the activation method in the space below for later reference.

Other Remote Start Features
It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines
allow the engine to idle for after driving to cool the turbocharger. When this Installer
Programmable Feature is enabled, the system will automatically keep the engine
running as follows:
• Withtheenginerunning,holdthebrakepedalandengagetheparking brake.
When the brake pedal is released, the system will keep the engine running for the
programmed time (1, 2, or 3 minutes), and then automatically turn it off.
• TurboTimercanbepreventedfromengaging,or“bypassed”ifdesired,byturning
the engine off before engaging the parking brake, or if it’s already engaged, step on
the brake pedal to turn the engine off.
This feature will automatically start the engine should the vehicle battery drop
below 11 volts or the interior temperature drop to 15 (or 32) degrees fahrenheit. This
feature is very useful when the vehicle is parked for a long period of time in cold
climates. You must activate these features each time you park your car and wish to
use them.
• Turntheignitionswitch“on”,then“off”(enginenotrunning),andwithin7seconds
press the valet switch twice. The system is now in low voltage start mode.
• Toactivatelowtempstarting,enterlowvoltagestartmodeasdescribedabove
but, within 5 seconds of entering low voltage mode, press the valet switch 1 time (15
degrees) or 2 times (32 degrees) within 5 seconds.
NOTE: When low temp start mode is activated, low voltage start is also activated.
These features will operate once every two hours until the ignition key is turned
“ON”.
LOW BATTERY/LOW TEMP AUTOMATIC STARTING
TURBO TIMER FEATURE
PIT-STOP FEATURE
This feature allows you to leave your engine running for making quick errands. To
use this feature, have the engine running normally from the ignition switch and your
footoffthebrakepedal.PresstheValetSwitchtwice;theparkinglightswillash.
Turn the key off and the engine will remain running for the programmed run time.

 TheStatusLighthelpstovisuallyconrmsthestatusofthesystemandprovides
a high level of visual deterrence. The Status Light is located in the window mount
receiver unit.
Normal System Status
1) Off = The remote starter system is off, in standby mode.
2) On Constant = The system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote starter system
disabled.
Starting System Status
The Status Light also indicates the remote start status:
3) Flashing Slow (once per second): Remote start is on.
4) Flashing Fast (after activating remote start): The system is in the process of start-
ing the engine.
Remote Starting Diagnostics
Whenever the system is placed into Valet Mode, the Status Light illuminates
solid.However,whenthisrstoccurs,theStatusLightwillash1to6ashesbe-
fore resuming solid illumination. This indicates why the engine stopped running from
the last previous remote starting attempt.
5) 1 Flash = Programmed run time expired.
6) 2 Flashes = Brake was pressed or hood opened.
7) 3 Flashes = Engine stalled or bad tach signal.
8) 4 Flashes = Received transmitter command to stop.
9)5Flashes=Gearselectorremovedfrom“park”.
10) 6 FLashes = Low voltage.

This group of Installer Programmable Features are all accessed as a group in the
second level of features’ programming. These features have a direct affect upon the
system’s operations related to the installation and vehicle type AND SHOULD ONLY
BE CHANGED BY THE INSTALLER!!!
Feature #1 Remote Start Activation
1 button presses (press the brake pedal 1 time to program)
2 button presses (press the brake pedal 2 times to program) - DEFAULT
3 button presses (press the brake pedal 3 times to program)
4 button presses (press the brake pedal 4 times to program)
ThisfeatureallowsyoutochoosethenumberofbuttonpressesANDpulses
required on the White/Blue activation wire to activate the remote start feature. All of
the settings must occur within a 5 second window of the previous button press.
Feature #3 Engine Detection Method
Tachless Hi (press the brake pedal 1 time to program) - DEFAULT
Tachless Lo (press the brake pedal 2 times to program)
Tach Wire (press the brake pedal 3 times to program)
Data Tach (press the brake pedal 4 times to program)
Crank Only (press the brake pedal 5 times to program)
This feature selects the method in which the remote start monitors the engine’s run-
ning condition in remote start mode.
“Tachless Hi” sensitivity mode has an associated base starter output time duration
(see installer feature #7) and monitors the vehicle’s voltage level to determine if the
engine is running. This setting looks for a voltage increase of 0.3v after cranking.
“Tachless Lo”sensitivitymodeoperateslikethe“TachlessHi”settingbutlooksfor
a voltage increase of 0.5v after cranking.
“Tach Wire”Beforethissettingisprogrammed,refertothe“Violet/Whitewire”sec-
tion of the installation manual for proper wiring connection and the Tach Learn Pro-
cedure. It will crank the engine for up to 3 seconds or until a tach signal is detected.
“Data Tach”modeoperatesjustlikethe“TachWire”settingexceptittakesits
reading from the D2D data port instead of using the Violet/White wire. Before using,
make sure this function is supported by the Databus Interface module.
“Crank Only”AKA“blindstart”issimilartothe“Tachless”settingshowever,itonly
makes one start attempt and does not monitor engine running conditions. This is
usefulformany“push-to-start”vehicles.
