Installer Warnings
Installation
This remote starter with keyless entry system is designed to be installed on fuel injected vehicles with an automatic
transmission ONLY.
• Never install this remote starter on a manual transmission vehicle.
• Some automatic transmission vehicles [mainly older GM vehicles with a purple starter wire] have a mechanical-type
park safety switch instead of an electrical safety switch. The mechanical type does not interrupt the starter circuit when
the transmission is any gear and does not offer the 100% level of safety required for remote starting purposes.
Therefore, our system should never be installed on any vehicle that uses a mechanical type park safety switch.
• Once you install this system, you must verify that the vehicle will not start in any forward or reverse gear. Regardless
of the type of vehicle.
• Read the owner’s manual for the operating and programming routine.
• Do not install any component near the brake, gas pedal or steering linkage.
• Some vehicles have a factory installed transponder immobilizer system that can severely complicate the installation.
There is a possibility that this system can not be installed on some immobilizer equipped vehicles.
• Most vehicles have an SRS air bag system. Use extreme care and do not probe any wires of the SRS system.
Hood Safety Switch
The supplied weatherproof mercury hood safety switch is a required component you must install to prevent bodily.
• The switch prevents operation of the remote starter when the hood is raised.
• The mercury hood safety switch should not require adjusting. It is internally pre-adjusted for a 25 degree tilt.
• The switch mounts on the underside of the hood. On normal installations, the switch can be mounted using the
supplied quick clip. Once the switch is mounted, the wires of the switch should be towards the firewall of the vehicle.
• Connect one wire to the blue wire on our 10 pin harness.
• Connect the other remaining wire to ground.
Windshield Receiver/Antenna

ALA-DL1
Relay Pack
Some vehicle’s (Chrysler, Mazda and Ford Probe and others) use one wire to lock and unlock the doors. Example:
When the door lock controller sees a signal thru a resistor it will unlock. If a signal is received without a resistor the
doors will lock. Some use 2 resistors. One for lock and one for unlock. We have developed patented plug-in fuse
resistors for this application. Simply remove the fuse from our door lock module and replace with correct resistor
value fuses that matches the vehicles door lock switch.
ALA-DL1 Wiring:
1. Connect both the green (lock) and the blue (unlock) wires to the vehicles one wire lock/unlock wire.
2. Connect our violet polarity input wire to +12v or to ground. To match vehicles door lock polarity.
3. The white and the brown wires will not be used.

Transponder Interfacing
• You will need a Transponder Key that’s already programmed to the vehicle.
• You will also need a Transponder Interface Module. Our RS-TIM Module plugs directly into the Remote Starter Module.
• Detailed instructions are included with the RS-TIM Module.
If you are not using our module you can still follow these instructions by relay terminal # and
using a normal resistor instead of our resistor fuses. To avoid confusion, do not make any
connections to the Pass-Key system until the remote starter is installed and working properly.
To allow temporary remote starting, simply insert the ignition key fully into the lock cylinder.
1. Use an Ohm meter and set meter to R X 1K.
2. Connect test meter probe to each side of ignition key pellet. Record the reading.
3. Locate the (2) small 22AWG Pass Key wires on lower side of steering column.
The wires are usually (White or Yellow) and inside an Orange protective jacket.
4. Cut either one of the Vats-Pass Key wires of the vehicle.
5. Verify the car will not start using the ignition key. (Activates 7min timer)
6. Connect the cut wire coming from ignition switch side to the (Green 87A) of relay.
7. Connect the remaining cut wires (decoder side) to the (Purple 30) of relay.
8. Connect our Orange wire to the pass key wire of the vehicle.
9. Replace fuse #1 with correct value resistor fuse (same value as key)

9. Connect one side of correct resistor to the orange wire (87) of ALA-RP1.
10. Connect other side of the resistor to the orange/black or black wire of the vehicle.
11. Verify the vehicle starts OK with the ignition key.
Pass-Lock 1 Vehicle Only (For Older Pass-Lock Vehicles Only)
In addition to the above connections, the first generation Pass-Lock systems will also require the bulb test circuit to
be energized with a ground signal during cranking. This will require an ALA-984H relay.
1. Connect 85 & 30 of relay to ground.
2. Connect 86 of the relay to our orange starter wire.
3. Connect 87 of relay to the vehicle’s black bulb test wire.****
**** The bulb test wire will show ground when the ignition switch is rotated to the start position only. Do
confuse the bulb test wire with the black Pass-Lock wire. Do “not” connect the relay to the black wire that’s in the
3 ribbon wire cable.
