Remote Transmitter
CODE LEARNING OR ADDING ANOTHER REMOTE.
1. Turn key to the On position.
2. Press and hold the valet button until the system chirps 3 times to indicate
ready to learn status.
3. Press button 1 of the first transmitter once. Then, press Button 1 of the
second transmitter once. The siren will output a confirmation chirp(s) with
each remote transmitter that is learned. For example, after the first remote
transmitter is programmed, the siren will chirp once. After the second
transmitter is programmed, the siren will chirp twice. Up to 4 transmitters
can be programmed.
4. If only one remote transmitter needs to be programmed/added, the
other remote transmitter(s) must be reporgrammed at this time.
5. When done, turn key to OFF position to exit code learning mode.
NOTE: If you place the system in learn mode and teach nothing, the system
will exit in 10 seconds. If the 4 location limit is exceeded, the system
erases the oldest codes.
The memory or the codes is NON VOLATILE and will not be erased by
power failure for 10 years or more.
ARMING
Press button 1. Siren will chirp once, parking lights will flash once. The
system will arm. In 5 seconds the system will enter arming mode and the
starter/ignition kill circuit will be enabled. If button 3 is pressed within
these 5 seconds, the system will chirp 3 or 2 times.
2 Chirps: On light impact, the siren chirps 5 times. On heavy impact, the
siren will sound for 60 seconds.
3 Chirps: On both light and heavy impacts, the siren will chirp 5 times.
DISARM
Press button 2. The siren will chirp twice and the parking lights will flash
twice. The system will disarm. The starter/ignition kill circuit will be
disabled. If passive arming is selected, after 60 seconds the system will
enter arming mode automatically (but will not lock the doors).
NOTE: If the alarm was triggered during armed mode, the siren will chirp
3 times.
PANIC
Press button 4 to enter panic mode. After 30 seconds the system will exit
this mode and enter arming mode automatically, during panic mode press
button 2 to exit.
SMART PASSIVE ARMING
This system will automatically arm in 60 seconds after you leave the vehicle
(After turning off the engine, you may remain in the car indefinitely, without
the system passively arming. The cycle begins when you leave the car). The
60 second timer is reset each time a protected zone has been opened. The
LED flashes rapidly at this time. To avoid locking your keys in the car, the
system will not lock the doors.
TO DISABLE PASSIVE ARMING
Turn key to OFF position, then press
and hold the valet button until the
system chirps once.
SHOCK SENSOR FEATURE
The shock sensor is built-in to the alarm’s main module. Mount the module
tightly on a large wire harness or a stiff plastic plate under dash. Avoid
mounting the module on metal surfaces because this will reduce the remote
range. Also, avoid installing the module on the steering column. The shock
sensor will be less sensitive to glass, and more to the tires.
To adjust the shock sensor:
1. Turn key to the ON position.
2. Hold the valet button until 3 chirps are heard.
3. Turn key to OFF position.
4. The system will chirp once.
5. Wait 2 seconds, then strike the "A pillar" firmly with your fist.
6. The system will chirp twice to indicate it has learned your new setting.
7. When done, turn key to ON position to exit code learning mode.
NOTE: The harder you strike the car, the less sensitive the alarm will be.
The softer you strike the car, the more sensitive the sensor will be.
Do not set too sensitive, as the alarm will false trigger often. The system is
NOT DESIGNED to detect rocking or swaying motion.
TO DISABLE THE SHOCK SENSOR
1. Turn key to the OFF position.
2. Hold the valet button until 1 chirp is heard.
3. Press button 2 once within 5 seconds.
4. The alarm will chirp to indicate shock sensor is on or off and save
settings to the EEPROM.
5. The alarm will disarm.
2 Chirps: shock sensor is enabled.
3 Chirps: shock sensor is disabled
NOTE: Warning chirps will still be active.
VALET/EMERGENCY OVERRIDE BUTTON
To disarm the system in case of a lost remote transmitter, do the following:
1- Turn key to the ON position.
2- Press and hold the valet button. The system will disarm.
IGNITION TRIGGERED DOOR LOCKS
In order to protect the occupants, once the engine has been started, your
doors will lock within 5 seconds. The doors will then unlock after the
engine has been turned off.
OPEN TRUNK
Press and hold button 3 for 3 seconds to open the trunk.

This system has a switch instead of an actuator in the drivers door. You
will need to mount an actuator (GT series) in the drivers door to control
your locks. Wiring diagram comes with actuator (GT series)
1. Install the fuse on the red wire then connect the BROWN/BLUE, and
RED wires to a constant 12 volts.
2. From the keyless entry unit connect the ORANGE/BLUE,
ORANGE/GREEN, and BLACK wires to metal ground.
3. Mount the actuator, and connect the BLUE/WHITE and
GREEN/WHITE wires to the actuators green and blue wires.
Testing (w/an airbag safe digital volt-ohm meter)
Connect the testlight wire to a ground (-), then probe all wires from your
door lock switch to determine the lock, unlock, and sender wires.
1. If you come to a wire that LOCKS your doors when probed (-), then
you have found the lock wire. Connect the BLUE/WHITE wire from the
keyless entry unit to this wire.
2. If you come to a wire that UNLOCKS your doors when probed (-),
then you have found the unlock wire. Connect the GREEN/WHITE wire
from the keyless entry unit to this wire.
3. From the keyless entry unit connect the BROWN/BLUE wire to your
sender wire. This wire will be a constant "-".
4. Install the fuse on the red wire then connect the RED wire to a
constant 12 volts (+), and the BLACK wire to a body ground.
Testing (w/an airbag safe digital volt-ohm meter)
Connect the testlight wire to a 12 volts (+), then probe all wires from
your door lock switch to determine the lock, unlock, and sender wires.
1. If you come to a wire that LOCKS your doors when probed (+), then
you have found the lock wire. Connect the BLUE/WHITE wire from the
keyless entry unit to this wire.
2. If you come to a wire that UNLOCKS your doors when probed (+),
then you have found the unlock wire. Connect the GREEN/WHITE wire
from the keyless entry unit to this wire.
3. From the keyless entry unit connect the BROWN/BLUE wire to your
sender wire. This wire will be a constant "+".
4. Install the fuse on the red wire then connect the RED wire to a constant
12 volts (+), and the BLACK wire to a body ground.
Similar to positive trigger, but will have 5 wires. 2 wires will be
grounded, another 2 wires will be positive triggers, and 1 will have a
constant 12 volts (sender wire).
1. Install the fuse on the red wire then connect the BROWN/BLUE, &
RED wires to 12 volts.
2. From the keyless entry unit connect the BLACK wire to metal ground.
3. Cut the drivers door lock wire. This wire will have 12 volts when lock
button is pushed.
4. Connect the ORANGE/BLUE wire to the switche's side of the lock
wire.
5. Connect the BLUE/WHITE wire to the motor's side of the lock wire.
6. Cut the drivers unlock wire. This wire will have 12 volts when unlock
button is pushed.
7. Connect the ORANGE/GREEN wire to the switches side of the unlock
wire.
8. Connect the GREEN/WHITE wire to the motor's side of the unlock
wire.
