There are several safety considerations with using and installing the RS-6Remote Car
Starter. Among them are:
-This unit is for Automatic Transmission vehicles only. Attempting installation in a
manual transmission equipped vehicle can result in property damage or personal injury.
- This unit is for fuel injected gasoline and diesel engines only.
- Children should not be left unattended in, or be allowed to play with the activating
transmitters of a remote starter equipped vehicle.
- All installation safety features should be utilized and safety warnings heeded.
Congratulations on your purchase of the RS-6 Remote Car Starter Module. The RS-6
will allow you to start your vehicle's engine from the comfort of your home or office, to
warm up the vehicle in winter and cool it down in summer before you enter it. When you
leave your vehicle, simply set the climate controls for what you desire to be operating
upon remote start - heater, defroster or air conditioning.
The RS-6 is an "add on" unit designed to be used in conjunction with another remote
control unit such as a remote vehicle security system, a keyless entry device or a remote
receiver unit. Because the host activating unit will vary from application to application,
the proper button or buttons to press to activate the remote starter can only be determined
by the installer.
Please take time to review this manual.

Your RS-6 Remote Car Starter is activated by remote control. This is typically done
from a small radio transmitter, usually attached to your key ring. As previously stated, the
RS-6 is an "add on" unit designed to be used in conjunction with host remote control unit
such as a remote vehicle security system, keyless entry system or remote receiver unit.
The exact activation method for your vehicle may vary. The normal activation involves
pressing either a single or multiple button(s) on the transmitter. Please note that other
reactions may occur, depending on the host unit. For example, if a security system's aux-
iliary output is being utilized, it may also disarm or it may chirp its siren. As noted earlier,
the installer can determine the exact remote start activation procedure, and also inform you
of the total reactions of your particular system.
Typical Activation:
1) The parking lights (if connected) will flash one time, confirming the activation
command.
2) The vehicle's Ignition circuit will then turn on.
3) The Starter will engage. The Ignition circuit will remain on.
4) The engine will start to run, which will be detected by the RS-6, and the Starter
will automatically be disengaged.
5) After the engine is running, the parking lights will flash twice, then pause, through-
out the period that the engine is running by control of the RS-6.
- If the engine stalls, the unit will make two more attempts to restart it.
- After ten (or twenty) minutes the RS-6will automatically turn the engine off.

The RS-6 includes multiple built-in safety features. The unit will not engage if the gear
shift selector is in a forward or reverse gear position, or if the brake pedal is being pressed.
The unit will not engage if the hood or if a door is opened. If the engine is running by
remote control, any of these conditions will cause the engine to stop running.
The RS-6may be deactivated by several methods. To stop the engine by remote con-
trol, you may simply press again the same transmitter button(s) used to activate the unit.
Opening a door of the vehicle will cause the engine to stop running 30 seconds later. Once
you have entered the vehicle, stepping on the brake pedal or removing the shifter from
"Park" will deactivate the unit, stopping the engine.
While the engine is running:
- Opening a door will stop the engine 30 seconds later.
- Pressing the brake will stop the engine.
- Removing the gear shift selector from the "Park" position will stop the engine.
- Raising the hood will stop the engine.
- The RS-6 will stop the engine if it receives another activation command.
The RS-6 will not Activate if any of these safety circuits are triggered:
- An open door.
- Pressing the brake the brake pedal.
- The gear shift selector not being in "Park" or "Neutral" position.
- An open hood.

Upon deactivation, if you first used your vehicle's key to turn the ignition switch to the
"on" position (do not turn the key to the "start" position), the engine will remain running
after the RS-6 is deactivated.
The Valet Switch:
The RS-6 Remote Starter includes a "valet switch". This switch allows the RS-6 to
used, or prevents it from being used. Consult with the installer as to the operation of the
valet switch, as it can be configured to operate one of several ways. The valet switch
should be used to turn the RS-6 off when desirable, such as leaving the car for servicing,
letting others drive the car or having it valet parked. This switch may also be used to
deactivate the unit while the engine is running.
The RS-6 is an extremely sophisticated system with multiple built-in safety and secu-
rity features. It is highly recommend that this system be professionally installed, as the
complexity of the modern automobile and the nature of circuits to be accessed is often
beyond the abilities of most do-it-yourselfers.
Thisunitis to beinstalledonautomatictransmission vehicles
only! Do NOT install on manual transmission vehicles.
The hood pin switch and valet switch MUST be installed.
Installation

The remote engine starting feature should not be used when
the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage!
Black Wire - (Ground): The Black wire provides Negative ground for the
RS-6's operation; proper connection is important.
CONNECTION: Using the correctly sized crimp-on ring terminal, connect the Black
wire to the metal frame of the vehicle, preferably using an existing machine-threaded
fastener. MakesurethattheringterminalattachedtotheBlackwirehascontactwithbright,
clean metal. If necessary, scrape any paint, rust or grease away from the connection point
until the metal is bright and clean.
Mounting the Control Module:
Choose the mounting location and route all wiring accordingly . . . the final mounting
of the control module should be done after having made all wiring connections and testing
the RS-6's operation. Always securely mount this module in the vehicle's interior com-
partment, never in the engine compartment. Ensure that moisture, vibration and tempera-
ture extremes are minimized. Acceptable locations include mounting behind the dash,
behind the glovebox or other interior panels.
Main Wiring Harness Connections -
5 Primary Wires

Red Wire - (Constant Power): The Red wire supplies constant Positive 12
Volts for the system's operation. This wire must be supplied sufficient amperage.
CONNECTION: Connect this wire to Positive battery voltage. The most common
source is the battery's Positive terminal. If the battery is selected as the power source, start
at the battery and route the Red wire to the control module. Carefully route the long Red
wire through the firewall, using an added or existing grommet. Avoid any hot or moving
parts. Thefuseholdershouldalwaysbeclosetothepowersourceconnection,notthecontrol
module. An insulated terminal is provided for the control module end; this allows cutting
the Red wire to length, if desired. Connect the ring terminal attached to the fuse holder to
the battery's Positive terminal. After all of the other wiring connections have been made,
insert the Green 30 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Some vehicles have a single Constant 12 Volt circuit supplying the ignition switch. A
schematic of the car's electrical system will show if this is the case. If so, the Red wire may
be connected at the ignition switch wiring harness, but the fuse holder and 30 amp fuse
must also be used.
Theuse of the 30ampfuse andthefuse holder isrequired! Failureto properlyinstall
the fuse holder and the 30 amp fuse will void all warranties.
Blue Wire - (Ignition #1 Output): The Blue wire is an ignition "on" output.
Whenremotestarting,thisoutputsupplies12VoltsPositivetothevehicle'signitioncircuit.
This output stays active while the starter is engaged, and continues to supply power to the
ignition circuit for the duration of the remote start engine run period. If the system detects

a violated safety circuit, receives another activation input, or if the programmed run time
expires, this output will stop supplying power, which stops the running engine.
CONNECTION: This wire must be connected to the vehicle's Ignition #1 (also known
asPrimaryIgnition)wire. ThepropervehiclewirewillmeasurePositive12Voltswhenthe
ignitionkeyisinthe"Run"and"Start"positionsandnovoltageinthe"Off"and"Accessory"
positions. This wire is found in the ignition switch wiring harness. If two or more Primary
Ignition wires are present, an optional dual relay socket and one or two relays may be used
ontheadditionalwire(s). IfmorethanthreePrimaryIgnitionwiresarepresent,youwillalso
need an optional additional relay for each wire.
Yellow Wire - (Ignition #2/Accessory Output): The Ignition #2/
AccessoryYellowwire'soperationdiffersfromtheIgnition#1Bluewire'soperation. When
remotestarting, thisoutputsupplies12Volts Positivetothevehicle'schosencircuitas soon
asremotestartingis activated, butstopswhilethestarter is engaged. Oncetheenginestarts
and the starter disengages, this wire returns to having 12 Volts Positive output. From this
point in the remote starting cycle the Yellow wire continues to supply power to the chosen
vehicle circuit for the duration of the remote start engine run period. If the system detects
a violated safety circuit, receives a transmitter command to stop running, or if the
programmed run time expires, this output will stop supplying power.
CONNECTION: Connect this wire to the vehicle's Ignition #2 or Accessory wire.
This circuit in the vehicle can vary in its function. Its primary function is to supply power
to the Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. The connection point for

this wire is also found in the ignition switch wiring harness.
In some cases the correct vehicle wire will show Positive 12 Volts in the "Run" and
"Accessory" ignition key positions but in other vehicles it will show the voltage only in the
"Run" ignition key position. This output should not be used if the vehicle's wire also
shows voltage when the ignition key is in the "Start" position.
Green Wire - (Starter Output): When remote starting, this output supplies
12 Volts Positive to the vehicle's starter circuit.
CONNECTION: Connect this Green wire to the vehicle's Starter wire. It is recom-
mended that this connection be done as close to the ignition switch as possible. Use a
voltmeter, not a test light, to find the correct wire, which is the wire from the ignition
switch to the starter solenoid. CAUTION! Avoid the airbag circuit! Improper use of a
test light can cause deployment of the airbag, which may result in bodily injury! Test
lights can also damage on-board computers and associated sensors. The starter wire will
read Positive 12 Volts when ignition key is in "start" position only (cranking the engine).
Some vehicles have a second Starter wire known as a "Cold Start" wire. When this second
wire is present, if the two Starter wires are the same circuit you may connect both of these
wires to the Green wire. If the two Starter wires are separate circuits, an additional relay is
recommended.
If the optional anti-grind feature is also being installed, the Green Starter Output wire
should be included in its connection. This simplifies the overall connections and saves
time. See page xx for these instructions.
