INTRODUCTION
INSTALLER WARNINGS
This Remote Starter with Alarm System is designed to be installed on fuel injected vehicles ONLY.
For automatic transmission vehicle, this system must be installed and wired through a safety
switch it will not start in any forward or reverse gear.
Some automatic transmission vehicle [mainly older GM vehicles with a purple starter wire] have a
mechanical-type park safety switch instead of 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.
For automatic transmission vehicle, once you install this system, you must verify that the vehicle
will not start any forward or reverse gear. Regardless of the type of vehicle.
Read operation manual for 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 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.
Disconnect the car battery before connecting work on the vehicle.
Check behind panels before drilling any holes. Ensure that no wiring harness or other
components are located behind the panels that would otherwise be damaged.
Use conventional crimp lock, bullet on any wiring. Poor wiring, i.e. taped joints will possibly
introduce unreliability into the alarm system and may result in false alarms or incorrect operation.
Install wiring neatly under carpets or behind trim to prevent possible damage to wires.
For the wire operates the current more than 10A. We suggest soldering all connection point. Do
not use crimp lock type connectors or wire nuts.
WIRING
Keep wiring away from moving engine parts, exhaust pipes and high-tension cable. Tape wires that
pass through holes on the firewall to prevent fraying. Watch for sharp edges that may damage wires
and causes short circuit.
CAUTION: Do not connect the wire harness to the control module until all wiring to vehicle is
complete.
H1: 6 PIN HEAVY GAUGE WIRING CONNECTION:
Remember that the system does to start a vehicle is duplicate the functions of the ignition key
switch! Below, we will explain the three basic functions of the ignition switch. Since this installation
will require analysis of the ignition switch functions, we recommend making the three connections
below at the ignition switch harness directly.
H1/1. Violet Wire –Starter Output
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from
starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral
Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method.
In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical
switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage.
In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and
assure that the vehicle can not start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the VIOLET
wire will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire
have +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” (CRANK) position only. This wire
have 0 volts in all other ignition switch positions.
NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the
electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit
relay (when used) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram.

H1/2 & H1/3. Red Wire (2) –+12V Power Input
Remove the two 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the
satellite has been plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the
circuits the relay satellite will energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since the
factory supplies (+) 12V to the key switch that is used to operate the motor, it is recommended that
these wires be connected there.
Note: If the factory supplies two separate (+) 12V feeds to the ignition switch, connect one RED
wire of the satellite to each feed at the switch.
H1/4. Yellow Wire –Ignition 1 Output
Connect the YELLOW wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. The ignition wire should
receive "12 volts" when the ignition key is in the "ON" or “RUN” and "START" or “CRANK” position.
When the ignition is turned "OFF", the ignition wire should receive "0" voltage.. The Yellow wire
must be connected.
H1/5. Pink Wire –Ignition 2 Output
Some vehicles have [2] ignition wires that must be power. Connect the PINK wire to the ignition 2
wire from the ignition switch. The ignition wire should receive "12 volts" when the ignition key is in
the "ON" or “RUN” and "START" or “CRANK” position. When the ignition is turned "OFF", the
ignition wire should receive "0" voltage. If the PINK wire is not used, cap the end of the wire.
H1/6. Brown Wire –Accessory Output (Heater /ACC Output)
Connect the BROWN wire to the accessory wire in the vehicle that powers the climate control
system.
An accessory wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the “ACCESSORY” or
“ON” and “RUN” positions, and will show 0 Volts when the key is turned to the “OFF” and “START”
or “CRANK” position. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The
correct accessory wire will power the vehicle’s climate control system. Some vehicle may have
separate wires for the blower motor and the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be
necessary to add a relay to power the second accessory wire.
H2: 5 PIN WIRE HARNESS:
H2/1. Red / White Wire –Parking Light Relay Input --
The RED/WHITE wire is the input to the flashing parking light relay. The connection of the
RED/WHITE wire will determine the output polarity of the flashing parking light relay.
If the vehicle you are working on has +12volt switched parking lights, you don’t need connect this
wire. This wire already connected to +12volt.
If the vehicle’s parking lights are ground switched, cut the RED/WHITE wire, connect the
RED/WHITE wire to chassis ground.
H2/2. White Wire –Parking Light Relay Output (+12 V 10A Output) --
Connect the WHITE wire to the parking light wire coming from the headlight switch. Do not connect
the WHITE wire to the dashboard lighting dimmer switch. (Damage to the dimmer will result). The
limitation of the WHITE wire is 10 AMP max. Do not exceed this limit or damage to the alarm and
parking relay will result.
H2/3. Black Wire –System Ground –

Note: You should connect this wire if you program the Start Feature II –2 to “Engine checking
TACH.” Otherwise, do not connect this wire and tape the end.
Note: No connection of this wire is required, if you use the voltage or timer checking type mode.
This input provides the remote start system with information about the engine’s revolutions per
minute (RPM). It can be connected to the negative side of the coil in vehicle with conventional coils.
In multi-coil and high-energy ignition system, locating a proper signal may be more difficult. Once
connected,
To test for a tachometer wire, a multi-meter capable of test AC voltage must be used. The
tachometer wire will show between 1V and 6V AC at idle, and will increase as engine RPM
increases. In multi-coil ignition system, the system can learn individual coil wire. Individual coil wires
in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. In addition, if necessary, the
system can use a fuel-injector control wire for engine speed sensing. Common locations for a
tachometer wire are the ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic
transmission computers.
IMPORTANT: Do not test tachometer wires with test light or logic probe as this may cause
damage.
How to find a tachometer wire with your multi-meter
1. Set the ACV or AC voltage (12V or 20V is fine.)
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Start and run the vehicle.
4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter.
5. If this is the correct wire, the meter will read between 1V and 6V.
Important Note: You must program the “Tach Signal”before trying to remote start.

The Two-way transceiver/antenna mounts on the location above the belt line (dashboard) of the
vehicle for best reception. We suggest you mount it on the lower left or upper left-hand side of
windshield.
Warning! Do not mount in such a manner that it obstructs the driver’s view.
- Remove the protective tape backing.
- Carefully align the two-way transceiver/antenna and apply to windshield.
- Route the black connector wire behind the trim and connect to the two-way transceiver/antenna.
- Connect the other end to the control module.
- Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a
metallic shielded glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the two
ways transceiver antenna module away from metallic shielded window glass as far as possible.

TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION:
Caution!! The follow procedure must be performed after the installation of the Remote Start Device. It
is the responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the unit in the
following manner may result in personal injury, property damage, or both.

VS 2400 INSTALL

1. Test the BRAKE shutdown circuit: With the vehicle in park (P), start the vehicle using the remote
transmitter, Once the engine is running, press the brake pedal. The vehicle should shut down
immediately. If the vehicle continues to run, check the brake circuit WHITE/ VIOLET wire (H7/7)
connection.
2. Test the HOOD PIN shutdown circuit: Start the vehicle using the remote transmitter, Once the
engine is running, pull the hood release and raise the hood. The vehicle should shut down
immediately. If the vehicle continues to run, check the hood pin WHITE/ BLACK wire (H7/5)
connection.
3. NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST:
1. Set the vehicle parking brake.
2. Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
3. Sitting in the vehicle, turn the ignition switch to “ON” or “RUN” position. But do not start the
engine.
4. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into “DRIVE” (D).
5. Put your foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the brake to
shut down the Remote Start Device.
6. Start the vehicle using remote transmitter.
a. If the starter does not engage, the test is complete.
b. If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake pedal to shut down the system, recheck
your VIOLET wire (H1/1 starter output wire) connection. The heavy gauge VIOLET wire must
be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are
working on does not have an Electrical Neutral Safety Switch, it will be necessary to
reconfigure the Remote Starts Wiring to accommodate this vehicle. The information
concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch provided below will help you to determine if
the vehicle you are working on has this type of safety switch and will provide alternate wiring
methods to accommodate this situation.
MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS:
Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the same level of
safety when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear
selector is in any position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to
be turned to the start position or be removed from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents
mechanical operation while the vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation.
Because of this potential problem, this installation requires the additional connection of a safety wire
from the remote start device to the vehicle PARK/NEUTRAL ECM input or the vehicle key in sensor.
This connection will prevent remote start operation if the key is left in the ignition switch regardless of
the gear selector position.
PARK/NEUTRAL ECM INPUT:
The Park/Neutral ECM input is the preferred method of installation. This not only maintains the
integrity of the factory circuit, it is also the easiest to install, providing the vehicle you are working on
has this ECM input.
The installation required for this application (shown below), indicates in the slight reconfiguration of
the control switch wiring. Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral ECM input circuit. To connect the
Remote Start unit to the GM Park/Neutral ECM input:
1. Locate the Orange/Black reference wire in the “C2” connector found at the ECM in GM B Body
vehicles or, locate the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are installing the Remote Start
Unit in.
2. Connect the BLACK/WHITE Neutral Safety Switch wire (H7/6) to this reference wire.
NOTE: If the optional remote starts enable toggle switch is installed, connect the one side the enable
switch to this reference wire and connect the other side of the enable switch to the BLACK/WHITE
Neutral Safety Switch wire (H7/6) of the Remote Start unit.
The reference diagram below shows a typical GM B Body ECM reference wire and how it is to be
connected to the Remote Start Unit.
