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

unit will not operate unless this Receiver Module is plugged-in. Select a desired
mounting location for the Receiver Module; optimum performance is obtained by
mounting this module high and unobstructed on the vehicle’s glass, such as the
windshield behind the rearview mirror. Make sure the glass surface is clean and
free of dust, grease, or debris. Peel the backing off of the adhesive tape and affix
the Receiver Module. Carefully route the module’s 3-wire ribbon cable to the RS
unit control module, and plug the cable into the Black 3-pin port on the rear of the

Deactivation
-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

needed, connected to this wire as shown in the diagram on the next page.
This harness, which plugs into the Red 3-pin port on the control module, can
be used, if needed, to configure optional relays to energize additional Ignition or
Starter circuits. Also, Omega OEM security bypass interfaces use the Blue port.
22 Gauge Green Wire: 500mA Negative Starter Output
Connection If Needed. This 22 gauge Green wire is a 500mA Negative
output, which has the same operation as the 12 gauge Green Starter output. If a
second Starter wire is present in the vehicle, an optional relay will be needed,
connected to the 22 gauge Green wire as shown in the diagram on the next page.

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.
