Installation Guide 2
INTRODUCTION
This guide contains all the information relevant and necessary for the installation of the
module. Most of the features of this product are explained in the User Guide. Therefore, if
detailed information regarding a feature of the product is needed, refer to the User Guide.
PART LIST
Please carefully read the installation guide before beginning the installation, especially the
harness descriptions and the programming options. It is very important that the
programming and the operation of the module are clearly understood, even with similar
installation experience in the past. There are many innovative features that may be
overlooked if this guide is not read thoroughly. Prior to the installation, make sure that all
the hardware components required to install the system are included in the box.
The following is a list of components included in the kit:
●1x Remote-Starter control unit
●1x or 2x Transmitters
●1x Antenna
●1x 6 pin primary ignition harness (AWG 14)
●1x 18 pin secondary harness (AWG 22)
●1x parts bag: a hood pin-switch, a connector and a warning label
●1x Valet switch (SPST)
●1x User guide
●1x Quick Installation guide
INDUSTRY CANADA USER NOTICE:
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful
communication.
FCC – USER NOTICE:
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by
unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
INSTALLATION POINTS TO REMEMBER
•Make sure that vehicles equipped with an Automatic transmission can not start while in
any gear other than park. If the vehicle starts in gear, a Manual transmission Remote-
Starter must be installed.
•When installing a Manual transmission Remote-Starter on a vehicle with a Manual
transmission, always make sure that all doors will take the Remote-Starter out of Ready
Mode. If this is not the case switch the wire(s) so that the module can monitor all doors
(including the rear hatch).
•When installing a Manual transmission Remote-Starter on a vehicle with a Manual
transmission, ensure that the parking brake and all door switch contacts are working
properly.
•When working on a vehicle, never leave the keys inside the vehicle and always leave at
least one window open.
•If possible, remove the courtesy light fuse to prevent battery drain.
•Before beginning, inspect the vehicle for any body damage or electrical problems.
•Always solder and tape all connections.
•Keep the Antenna away from other types of antennas (GPS/OnStar).
•Never install the module or wiring where it could interfere with the mechanical operation
of the steering and pedals or obstruct service technicians.
•Always use a grommet when running wires into the engine compartment. Never run
wires near or against bare metal.

3 Installation Guide
•Do not disconnect the battery on vehicles equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios.
•Never ground the module to the vehicle’s steering column.
•Make sure that all the switches and controls operate properly.
•Verify that the vehicle starts and idles properly.
•Make sure that all safety equipment is installed: the Valet switch, Hood Pin switch and
warning label(s).
•Always make sure that all external relays and after-market products wired to the module
are properly fused and diode isolated.
•On vehicles equipped with daytime running lights, the installer may be unable to see
certain programming results since the daytime running lights never go out. (Note :
Listening carefully to the clicking of the relays within the module will indicate a selected
option. A test light on the positive park light output may also be used for a visual
indiciation)
•When wiring in parallel, make sure each connection is isolated with a diode in order to
avoid feedback and possible damage to the vehicle.
Examples :
1-Wiring both a clutch bypass and a transponder bypass module to the GROUND
OUT WHEN RUNNING wire: At the common connection point, where the GROUND
OUT WHEN RUNNING wire “splits” and connects to both devices, a diode should be
inserted on both wires to prevent feedback.
2-Multiple or separate door pin connections: When joining all Door Pins together to the
single input wire of the module, each of the door wires must be diode isolated to
prevent feedback.
•Note: The above examples reflect common situations where diodes are
use to isolate connections. Please note that there are numerous other
cases where diode isolation may be required.
HARNESS DESCRIPTIONS
When first connecting the system it is important to connect the primary 8 pin harness
(containing the ground wire) first, otherwise the internal components of the module could
be seriously damaged.
Be careful not to power up a module before it is properly grounded (Pin 4 of the 18 pins
connector). To avoid accidental damage, it is recommended to remove the fuses before the
installation, and to replace them once the installation is complete.
6 PIN IGNITION HARNESS
The two power wires are module inputs, while the remaining wires are outputs that
reproduce the electronic actions of the vehicle's ignition switch when Remote-Started.
These wires are usually connected at the ignition switch.
Do not modify the integrity of the vehicle by jumping any wires, this will compromise the
OEM electrical system.

INSTALLATION VERIFICATION
Before finishing the installation and reassembling the vehicle, it is recommended that the
Remote-Starter/Alarm is verified to be operating properly. Before testing, ensure all
connections are soldered, isolated, and the Remote-Starter/Alarm is plugged in. Remote-
Start the vehicle and listen to the starter (crank) threshold. If the Starter crank time is to
long or to short, adjust the sensitivity of the Crank Threshold (option #3).
•Hood Pin switch : WARNING When the Remote-Starter is running, open the
hood. The Remote-Starter should shut down immediately.
The installation of the hood pin switch is mandatory.
•Brake pedal switch : When the Remote-Starter is running, press the brake pedal. The
Remote-Starter should shut down immediately.
•Vehicle Idle Mode (Manual Transmission) : Ensure the Remote-Starter properly
enters and exits Idle Mode.
•Door pin switch(es) (Manual Transmission) : When the Remote-Starter is in Ready
Mode, ensure Ready Mode is immediately cancelled when any doors (including rear
hatch) are opened.
•Parking brake (Manual Transmission) : When the Remote-Starter is in Ready Mode,
ensure that Ready Mode is immediately cancelled when the parking brake is released.
•OEM alarm control : Ensure the module will ARM and DISARM the vehicle's OEM
alarm (if equipped) whenever the doors are LOCKED, UNLOCKED, and when the
Remote-Starter is either Remote-Started or shut-down.
•Door LOCKS and TRUNK : Ensure all of the doors respond to all Transmitters by
LOCKING and UNLOCKING the doors, and releasing the TRUNK.
•Starter Kill relay : Sit inside the vehicle with all the doors closed, ARM the system,
and then try to start the engine with the key. The Starter should not crank, and the
engine should not start.

15 Installation Guide
•Valet mode : Ensure the Remote-Starter/Alarm is able to enter and exit Valet Mode.
When the Remote-Starter/Alarm is in Valet Mode, pressing the LOCK button will
LOCK the doors without activating the starter kill. (Refer to the User Guide for further
information on Valet Mode)
•Alarm : ARM the Alarm, and ensure that opening any door, the hood, the trunk, and
the Shock Sensor will all trigger the Alarm.
CLOSING UP
Use tie-wraps and screws to properly secure the Remote-Starter/Alarm and to keep all
wiring away from any moving parts such as the parking brake, steering column, and foot
pedals. Mount all switches in an accessible location where they do not risk getting
accidentally kicked or hit.
Ensure all warning labels are applied on clean, visible location under the hood. Do not stick
them to the engine block or exhaust manifold.
Most warranty claims are the result of the user (driver) misunderstands how the Remote-
Starter/Alarm works and performs. Take the time to properly explain all of the installed
features and functions to the customer(s) before they leave the premises.
LIABILITY
Neither the manufacturer or distributor of this module are responsible for damages of any
kind indirectly or directly caused by this Remote-Starter/Alarm or any of its pieces, except
for the replacement of the module in case of manufacturing defects. All pieces must be
installed by qualified technician. This Instruction Guide may change without notice. Visit

INDUSTRIE CANADA – AVIS AUX UTILISATEURS :
L'utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne
doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l'utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de
compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif. Afin de réduire le risque d'interférence
aux autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent être choisis de façon à ce
que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne soit pas supérieure au niveau
requis pour obtenir une communication satisfaisante.
FCC – AVIS AUX UTILISATEURS :
Le fabricant ne peut être tenu responsable du brouillage radioélectrique provoqué par
une modification non autorisée de l’équipement. Une telle modification peut entraîner
l’annulation du droit de l’utilisateur à faire fonctionner cet équipement.
À RETENIR LORS DE L’INSTALLATION
Assurez-vous qu’un véhicule à transmission automatique ne démarre pas lorsque la
transmission est embrayée. Dans le cas contraire, installez plutôt le module en mode
transmission manuelle.
Lors de l’installation d’un produit pour transmission manuelle sur un véhicule muni d’une
transmission manuelle, assurez-vous toujours que toutes les portières sont à même de
désactiver le mode prêt à démarrer. Faites la connexion du fil utilisé de façon à ce que celui-
ci soit actionné par chacune des portières.
Lors de l’installation d’un produit pour transmission manuelle sur un véhicule muni d’une
transmission manuelle, assurez-vous que les contacts du frein de stationnement et des
portières fonctionnent correctement.
Lorsque vous travaillez sur un véhicule, laissez toujours une fenêtre baissée.
Ne laissez jamais les clés dans la voiture! Laissez-les plutôt sur une table de travail et
gardez une fenêtre baissée.
Si possible, retirez le fusible de la lampe d’accueil pour prévenir l’épuisement de la batterie.
Avant de travailler, inspectez le véhicule pour localiser d’éventuels dommages à la
carrosserie ou au niveau du système électrique.
Soudez toujours toutes les connexions et isolez-les avec du ruban.
Maintenez l’antenne loin des antennes d’un type autre (GPS/OnStar).
N’installez jamais le système à un endroit où il pourrait nuire au fonctionnement normal du
véhicule ou au travail d’un technicien d’entretien.

3Guide d’installation
Utilisez toujours un passe-fil pour faire passer des fils dans le compartiment du moteur. Ne
faites jamais passer un fil sur une surface de métal nu ou coupant.
Ne débranchez pas la batterie d’un véhicule muni de sacs autogonflables ou d’une radio à
dispositif antivol.
N’utilisez jamais la colonne de direction pour mettre le module du système à la masse.
Assurez-vous que tous les interrupteurs et toutes les commandes fonctionnent
correctement.
Assurez-vous que le moteur démarre correctement et qu’il fonctionne adéquatement
lorsqu’il tourne au repos.
Assurez-vous que tous les dispositifs de sécurité sont installés : la touche valet, la touche
voiturier et l’étiquette d’avertissement.
Assurez-vous toujours que tous les relais et modules externes que vous branchez au
module du système sont raccordés à un fusible qui convient au branchement que vous
voulez effectuer et qu’ils sont tous isolés par diode.
Les véhicules munis de phare de jour ne permettent pas toujours à l’installateur de voir les
effets de programmation puisque les phares de jours ne s’éteignent pas. (N.B. : Écoutez
attentivement les déclics du relais dans le module démarreur à distance afin de compter
l’option sélectionnée. Par contre, vous pouvez programmer votre module en installant
temporairement une lumière témoin en parallèle.)
Lorsque vous effectuez un raccordement en parallèle, assurez-vous de bien isoler chaque
connexion par diode afin d’éviter les effets de rétroaction, « feedback », et les dommages
qui pourraient en découler.
Exemples :
1-Raccordement d’un module de contournement de la Pédale d’embrayage et d’un
Transpondeur au fil MIS À LA MASSE (SYSTÈME EN MARCHE) : Au point de
jonction où le fil MIS À LA MASSE se divise pour être raccordé à chacun des
dispositifs, une diode doit être installée sur chacun des fils.
2-Connexions multiples ou individuelles des portières : Lorsque vous branchez
simultanément tous les contacts des portières au fil entrée portières du module du
système, chaque fil doit être isolé par diode afin d’éviter les effets de rétroaction «
feedback ».
N.B. : Les exemples ci-dessus reflètent des exemples communs où l’isolation par diode
est nécessaire. Veuillez noter qu’il existe plusieurs autres situations où vous devez
utiliser des diodes pour isoler les fils.
