Congratulations on your purchase of the RS-7K2 Keyless Entry and Remote
Starter unit. The RS-7K2offers you the convenience of locking and unlocking
your vehicle’s doors with the press of a button, and the starting of your vehicle's
enginefrom thecomfort ofyour homeor office,allowing yourvehicle towarm up
in winter and cool down in summer. The RS-7K2 can also be optionally config-
ured to remotely open your vehicle’s trunk.
We highly recommend that this system be professionally installed, as the
complexityof the modern automobile and the natureof circuitsto be accessed is
often beyond the abilities of most do-it-yourselfers.
There are several important safety considerations with using and installing
the RS-7K2keyless entry and remote starter. Among them are:
-This unit is for vehicles with an automatic transmission only. Installation in a
vehicleequipped with a manual transmission can result in property damage or
personal injury.
-This unit is for fuel injected gasoline or diesel engines.
-Childrenshould not beleft unattended in, or beallowed to playwith theactivat-
ing transmitters of any remote starter equipped vehicle.
-Donot use the remote starter feature inan enclosedgarage or other structure.

actuated doorlocking systems.
Feature #3- “Double Unlock Pulse” is for certain newer vehicles requiring two
pulses for unlocking the doors.
Feature #4- “Engine Running Time” selects the remote start engine run period to
be 15 minutes or 30 minutes.
Feature #5- “Starter Cranking Time” slightly lengthens the starter engagement,
which is useful for vehicles which may have difficult-to-start engines.
Feature #6- “1 Or 2 Pulse Remote Start Activation” changes the Pink “Start Acti-
vation Input” wire’s operation so that two Negative pulses instead of one is
required for an external device to activate the remote starting feature. This
feature, explained on page 24, will allow an existing keyless entry system to
activate the RS unit’s remote start feature.

3) Select the feature to be changed by flipping the Valet Switch the same number
of times as the feature number; the RS-unit’s response is an equal number of
parking light flashes.
4)Once the feature has been confirmed by the parking light flashes, press either
the transmitter’s upper left “LOCK” button or the upper right “UNLOCK” button.
-The “LOCK” button sets the feature to the “default” position, and the RS unit will
flash the parking lights once to acknowledge receiving this command.
-The“UNLOCK” button sets the featureto the “optional” position, andthe RSunit
will flash the parking lights twice to acknowledge receiving this command.
5)Select another feature by repeating step 3), or allow the unit to exit Features
ProgrammingMode by simply not performingany programming actions- after 8
seconds the RS unit briefly turns on the parking lights to indicate its exit from
Features Programming Mode.
The programmable features:
Feature #1- “Doors Lock/Unlock Upon Ignition On/Off” configures the RS unit to
automatically lock the doors when the ignition is turned “On” and unlock the
doors when the ignition is turned “Off”.
Feature #2- “Door Lock Pulse Time” selects .75 second for most vehicles’ power

-After 15 or 30 minutes (programmable) the RS unitwill turn the engine off.
-To stop the engine by remote control, simply press the lower left button again.
-Stepping on the brake pedal will turn the engine off.
-Openingthe hood will turn the engine off. Ifthe hoodis open when an activation
attempt is made, the RS unit will not respond, and will not start the engine.
-Turning “on” the Valet Switch will also stop the engine.
Valet Mode
The RS unit may be placed into a “valet mode” which prevents the remote
start feature from being activated. Valet Mode should always be used when you
do not wish for remote start to be operated, such as when you leave your vehicle
with a valet parking attendant, mechanic or if you loan it to another person. An
“on/offtoggle” switch, the Valet Switch, is used for this, and it is typicallymounted
within easy reach of the driver. To engage the Valet Mode:
- Atany timesimply flipthe ValetSwitch tothe “on”position. Threesecondslater
the parking lights will flash 3 times to indicate Valet Mode.
Once the RS unit is in Valet Mode, an attempt to remote start will instead be
acknowledged by 4 parking light flashes, but no starting attempt.
- To turn off Valet Mode, with the ignition switch “On” simply flip the Valet Switch 33

Do not attempt to install this Remote Car Starter into a manual transmis-
sion vehicle! Doing so could cause serious property damage, personal
injury, and will void all warranties!
Be aware of, and avoid, any airbag circuitry! Due to the fact that an installer
will not be in a normal, upright seated position, severe injury may occur in
an accidental airbag deployment!
The use of a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) instead of
a standard testlight is required. This can greatly reduce the risk of an acci-
dental airbag deployment or on-board computer damage.
Battery gases are explosive! Avoid sparks and do not smoke while work-
ing near the vehicle's battery!
Always protect wires ran through the firewall from sharp metal edges and
hot parts of the engine! Always fuse positive wires at their source!
Switch “off”; the parking lights will flash once. If the Valet Switch is turned “off”
while the ignition switch is “Off”, the RS unit will remain in Valet Mode until the
ignition switch is next turned “On”.

5 Wire Reversing Polarity Systems
This power doorlock system differs from the negative and positive pulse systems in
that there is no doorlock control unit or relays. In this type of system, the switches
themselvessupplythe positive voltagedirectly to thedoorlock actuators, and,more
importantly, provide the return ground path. It is important to note that the lock and
unlockwiresinthissystem actuallyrestatchassisground. Thismeansthatboththe
lock and unlock wires must be "opened", or cut, to make the proper connections.
Examine the wires on the back of the switch. (Normally 5 wires will be found)
1) One wire will show +12 Volts, regardless of the switch's position.
2) Two wires will be grounded regardless of the switch's position.
3) One wire will show +12 Volts only when the switch is pushed to "Lock".
4) One wire will show +12 Volts only when the switch is pushed to "Unlock".

IMPORTANT!
After reading this manual, start the installation by affixing the
WARNING DECAL to a visible area in the engine compartment!
InstallationConsiderations: Thisentirebookletshouldbereadbefore starting
the installation. An understanding of which control module wires are to be used
and their functions is essential. Installations will vary from car to car, as some
control module wires are required, while others are optional. Before starting the
installation, it should be determined which control module wires will be used.
Most installers will list these wires, then "map out" the installation by locating and
notingthe target wires in the vehicle. This will also determine the best locationfor
the RS control module, which is mounted upon completion of the installation.
This Remote Start Unit duplicates the actions that occur within the ignition
switch when you use your key to start the engine. Because of this, most of the
mainwiring harness connections will be made at the ignition switch harness. The
ignition switch wires usually are high amperage circuits, which means that high
reliabilityconnectionsmustbemade-solderingofallconnectionsisrecommended.
Caution! Avoid the Airbag circuit! Especially avoid any harness or wires en-
cased in Yellow or Red tubing or sleeves. Do not use a standard test light, as it
can deploy an airbag or damage on-board computers and sensors.

(Two 12-Gauge) Red Wires: Constant +12 Volts Input
Connection Required . Connect both Red wires to constant 12 Volts. The
source used must supply adequate amperage. The most common sources are
the battery's Positive terminal and the ignition switch wiring harness. Good reli-
able connections and use of the included fuses are a must. Please note that
some Ignition Switches have the electrical
switch as part of the mechanical switch; oth-
ers have the electrical switch lower on
the steering column and connected
tothemechanicalswitchby a linkage.
The ignition switch wiring harness is
the best source for this and the

3 Wire Positive Pulse Systems
This doorlock system is similar to the 3 wire negative pulse system except the
doorlockswitchessend+12Voltpulsestooperatethedoorlockrelays/controlunit.
Examine the wires on the back of the doorlock switch:
1) One wire will show +12 Volts, regardless of the switch's position.
2) One wire will show +12 Volts only when the switch is pushed to "lock".
3) One wire will show +12 Volts only when the switch is pushed to "unlock".
Warning: The Positive pulse system can be confused with the 5-wire Reversing
Polaritysystem. This isbecause both systemsshow+12 Volt pulseson the “Lock”
and “Unlock” wires when the vehicle’s switch is pressed respectively. It is critical
to identify which system is present, since if +12 Volts is pulsed into a Reversing
Polarity system, which rests at ground, a direct short circuit will occur.
3 main differences between a Positive pulse and a Reversing Polarity system:
1) In a Reversing system the Lock/Unlock wires rest at ground, while in a Posi-
tive system the wires show partial ground through the relay’s coils.
2) The doorlock switch in a Reversing system will have 5 wires, while a Positive
pulse system the switch will have 3 wires.
3) A Positive pulse system uses factory relays or a control unit, a Reversing
system does not.
2912
12-Gauge Green Wire: Starter Output
Connection Required . Connect the Green wire to the vehicle's Starter
wire. This wire will show +12 Volts only when the ignition key is in the "Start"
position.This wire is also foundin the ignition switch wiringharness (seediagram
on previous page). Some vehicles have a second Starter wire known as a "Cold
Start" wire. When this is encountered, an optional relay may be needed, config-
ured to the 3-pin Red port, to energize the second Starter wire (see pages 33-
34).
Note: If a security system is present which utilizes a starter interrupt circuit, the
Green wire must be connected to the Starter Motor side of the interrupt.
12-Gauge Blue Wire: Ignition Output
Connection Required . Connectthe Blue wire to the vehicle's Ignition wire
(also known as “Primary Ignition”). This wire will show +12 Volts when the igni-
tion key is in the "Run" and "Start" positions and no voltage in the "Off" and
"Accessory" positions. This wire is found in the ignition switch wiring harness
(see diagram on previous page).
Note: If two or more Primary Ignition wires are present, you will need to connect
an optional relay or relays to the 3-pin Red port (see pages 33-34).

(HVAC) system. This wire will show 12 Volts when the ignition key is in the "Run"
and "Accessory" positions and No voltage in the "Start" and "Off" positions. The
connection point for this wire is also found in the ignition switch wiring harness
(see diagram on page 11).
W I R I N G - 10 Wire Connector
22-Gauge Black Wire: System Ground
Connection Required. Connect the Black wire to a very good, clean chas-
sis ground. A recommended connection is to an existing machine-thread bolt,
either in the driver's kick panel, steering column area or a major structural mem-
ber behind the dash. Small dash braces are not adequate, and the area must be
clean, bright metal. Use of a sheet metal screw or otherwise grounding to the
vehicle’s sheet metal is least desirable, and in some cases will result in an inad-
equate grounding of the system.

27
3 Wire Negative Pulse Systems
This power doorlock system is simplest of all doorlocking systems. A Negative
pulse system will have only three wires at the doorlock switch.
Examine the wires on the back of the doorlock switch:
1) One wire will show Ground, regardless of the switch's position.
2) One wire will show Ground only when the switch is pushed to "Lock".
3) One wire will show Ground only when the switch is pushed to "Unlock".
The lock & unlock wires coming out of the switch operate the vehicle’s doorlock
relays or a control unit with on-board relays, therefore the lock & unlock wires will
read Positive voltage, up to +12 Volts, when the switch is at rest. The correct
connection point is between the switches and the relays. The Red connector's
Green and Blue wires can be connected directly to the vehicle’s Negative pulse
system since only a Negative pulse is required to operate the vehicle’s on-board
doorlocking relays. If the vehicle’s Negative pulse doorlocking system requires
more than 500mA Negative output, optional relays must be used.
The following sections describe typical power doorlocking systems, which are
categorized as “3 Wire Negative Pulse”; “3 Wire Positive Pulse”, and “5 Wire
Reversing Polarity” systems
22-Gauge Yellow/Black Wire: (+) Brake Input
Connection Required- The Yellow/Black wire must be connected. It is
parta criticalsafety featurewhich disablesthe RSunit wheneverthe brakepedal
is pressed. Connect the Yellow/Black wire to the brake switch wire which shows
+12 Volts when the brake pedal is pressed. The brake switch is typically located
above the brake pedal, and usually mounted to the brake pedal support bracket.
Alwaysmake this connection in afashion ensuring its long-term reliability;solder-
ing is highly recommended. Upon completing the Yellow/Black wire's connec-
tion, thoroughly test the operation of this circuit.
22-Gauge Dark Blue Wire: (-) Hood Input
Connection Required- The Hood Safety Switch must be installed and
the Dark Blue wire must be connected. This prevents operation of the RS unit
if the hood is open.
Carefully install the included pin switch so that it is open (pin down) when the
hood is shut and closed (pin up) when the hood is open. Connect the Dark Blue
wire to the pin switch and carefully route this wire through the firewall, using an
added or existing grommet, avoiding any hot or moving parts.
If there is an existing hood pin switch for an alarm system, you may use it for
the Dark Blue wire connection; but the two systems must be diode-isolated.

This harness, which plugs into the White 3-pin port on the control module, is
the power doorlock outputs which allow the RS unit to operate the vehicle’s exist-
ing power doorlock system. The vehicle must have existing power doorlocks; or,
ifit does not, power doorlocks may beadded tothe vehicle in the form of installing
a model DS-2 actuator to each of the doors, along with a doorlock interface. The
doorlock interface needed to allow the RS unit to operate the doorlocks will de-
pend upon the type of power doorlocking system the vehicle is equipped with.
22 Gauge Green Wire: Negative Lock Output
Connection If Desired
The Green wire supplies a negative pulse for locking the vehicle's doors.
22 Gauge Blue Wire: Negative Unlock Output
Connection If Desired
TheBlue wire supplies a negative pulse forlocking thevehicle's doors. Program-
mable feature #3 changes the single unlock pulse to be a double unlock pulse.

Insteadof using apin switch to monitor thehood's open orshut status,an Omega
AU-46Mercury TiltSwitch mayused. Connectone ofthe AU-46'swires toNega-
tive Chassis Ground and connect the remaining wire to the Dark Blue wire.
22-Gauge Orange/Black Wire: Engine Detect Input
Connection Required. The Orange/Black wire is the engine detect wire.
The RS unit utilizes two different methods of monitoring the vehicle during the
remote starting process. Consider both methods before deciding which one to
use. Normally the Smart Start method is used, especially for diesel engine appli-
cations in which the vehicle has no true tach signal available. An adjustment
control and LED indicator for each method are on the side of the unit’s case.

1) Smart Start:
This method uses a voltage sensing circuit which reads the vehicle's voltage
beforeattempting to start, and then monitors for a voltage increase which occurs
when the alternator has output. The Orange/Black wire connects to a constant
12 Volt source; the recommended location is the vehicle's battery. Once all of
the wiring connections are made, the Smart Start voltage sensing input must be
adjusted, and Programmable Feature #5 offers two levels of the starter motor
preset cranking times. To make the initial Smart Start adjustment:
1) Position the selector switch for Smart Start (right position).
2) Locate the Smart Start adjustment and LED indicator on the side of the unit.
Ensure that both adjustment screws are completely counterclockwise.
3) Nowstart the enginewith the key;then, turn theSmart Start adjustmentscrew
slowly clockwise until the LED indicator begins to flash. The flashes confirm
that the unit is sensing the engine.
4) Turn the engine off.
5)Confirm that unwanted noise isnot being picked up fromother vehiclecircuits:

22-Gauge Green Wire: (+) Glow Plug Input
Connection If Needed. The Green wire allows the RS-7K2 to be used with
diesel engines. Connect the Green wire to the wire in the vehicle which powers
theglow plugs, or the wire which illuminatesthe “WaitTo Start” light on the instru-
mentpanel. When connected,the RSunit willnot engagethe starterif theGreen
wire has +12 Volts; in other words, using this wire simply delays the RS unit’s
engagement of the starter. If the “Wait To Start” light in the vehicle has a Nega-
tive switching circuit, it can still be used by simply reversing the polarity with an
optional relay.
22-Gauge Light Blue Wire: (-) OEM Disarm Output
Connection If Needed. Ifneeded, the Light Blue wireallows the RS-7K2 to
disarm a factory alarm system. Connect the Light Blue wire to the wire in the
vehiclewhich is connected to oneof the doorlock key cylinders. Thetypical OEM
alarm has an electrical switch in the key cylinders which switches -Ground when
the key unlocks the door. This wire can usually be located in the vehicle in either
kick panel area, in the wiring harness which is routed into the cab from the door.
The Light Blue wire has a -Ground pulse whenever the RS unit has an unlock
output or its remote start operation is activated.

a. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition key to the "On" position.
b. If the LED indicator remains off the unit has been properly tuned.
c.Ifthe LED indicator flashesthereis noise on theOrange/Blackwire's connec-
tion and it will be necessary to relocate the connection.
2) Tach Sense:
If the vehicle is generally hard to start (example: requiring the starter to be en-
gaged for more than 1 second) this method will produce more consistent remote
starting. With this method the Orange/Black wire reads the engine speed (tach)
information from a wire in the vehicle. The Orange/Black wire connects to the
vehicle's tach wire, which is found in the engine compartment, although in some
cases it may also be located inside the vehicle. To use a multimeter to verify the
correct tach wire, set it for AC Volts scale. The correct wire will read 1 to 6 volts
AC with the engine idling, and will increase with engine speed. An additional
adjustmentcontrol and LED indicator allowstuning the unit’s tach wiresensitivity.
1) Position the selector switch for Tach Sense (left position).
2) Locate the Tach Sense adjustment and LED indicator on the side of the unit.
Ensure that both adjustment screws completely counterclockwise.

22-Gauge Pink Wire: (-) Start Activation Input
Connection If Needed. The Pink wire allows for alternative devices such
as an existing keyless entry or alarm system to activate the remote start opera-
tion. If the Pink wire receives a Negative pulse, the RS unit will start the vehicle's
engine, provided that all safety circuits are in the proper status. After the engine
has been started by remote control, another Negative pulse on the Pink wire will
turn the RS unit off, stopping the engine.
The Pink wire can be connected to an available auxiliary output of an existing
Remote Security System, and the RS-7K2's remote control may also be used to
activate the remote start operation.
Should it be desired to activate the RS unit’s remote start operation from an
existing keyless entry system, programmable feature #6 will configure the Pink
wire to activate the remote start feature only if it receives two Negative pulses
within 10 seconds. This allows configuring the RS unit to remote start when the
OEM transmitter’s “LOCK” button is pressed twice. In most cases the existing
keyless entry system will have Negative switching door lock circuits to which the
Pink wire may be connected directly. In the other cases, an optional relay is
needed to reverse Positive polarity to Negative. When feature #6 is selected for
“twopulse” operation, once the RSunit has started the engine,the Pinkwire must
receive two more Negative pulses within 10 seconds to stop the engine.

3) Start the engine with the key; then turn the Tach Sense adjustment screw
slowly clockwise until the LED indicator illuminates solid.
- To increase sensitivity, thus the crank time, turn the adjustment screw coun-
terclockwise.
-To decrease sensitivity,thus the crank time, turnthe adjustment screwclock-
wise.

22-Gauge White Wire: Parking Light Output
Connection Recommended. The White wire is a +12 Volt output to the
vehicle’s exterior parking lights and its function is to visually confirm system op-
erations. The parking lights are also used as indicators when programming fea-
tures. Connect the White wire to the vehicle's 12 Volt parking light circuit as
shown in the accompanying diagrams. The correct wire will show 12 Volts only
when the headlight switch is in the "Parking Light" and "Head Light" positions.
This wire can usually be found at the headlight switch, and various other loca-
tions within the vehicle, such as the rear body harness or firewall connector.
Caution:Whensucha wire islocated,besure to alsotestthatit is non-rheostated:
While metering the wire, operate the dash light dimmer control. The correct wire
will show no change in voltage when the dimmer is operated. Some vehicles
have a parking-light relay which is triggered by a Negative signal from the head-
light switch. In these vehicles, the White wire must be connected after the relay,
usually at the Fuse/Junction Block. Do NOT connect the White wire directly to

In some applications the solenoid wire will rest at ground. In these cases:
- Cut the solenoid wire:
- Connect the switch side to pin #87a of the external relay.
- Connect the solenoid side to pin #30 of the external relay.
- Connect 12 Volts to pin #87 of the external relay (Fused).
Connect to 12 Volts or Negative Ground
