IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only.

Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use.

■Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote start

system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multi-

plexed systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic probes

(computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before making connections.

■Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid

disconnecting the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their

warning lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which can

require a trip to the dealer.

■Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.

■Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

■Test all functions. The "Using Your System" section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.

■Complete the vehicle

Safety Check

outlined in this manual prior to the vehicle reassembly.

ddeecciiddiinnggoonnccoommppoonneennttllooccaattiioonnss

Things to remember when positioning the control module:

■Never place the control module in the engine compartment!

■The first thing a thief will do when hot-wiring a vehicle is to remove the driver's side under-dash panel to

access the starter and ignition wires. You should therefore avoid placing the control module just behind the

driver’s side dash to prevent it from being easily disconnected during a theft attempt.

■When locating the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the harness

wires (they are 1.5 meters long).

■Keep the control module away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.

The antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle’s owner prior to installation, since the antenna may

be visible to the vehicle’s operator. The best location for the antenna is centered high on either the front or rear

windshield. For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally in rela-

tion to the windshield or under the dashboard away from metal, but range will be diminished. Metallic window

tint can also affect range, so this should be a consideration when determining the mounting location.

After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:

1. Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.

3. Mount the antenna using the supplied double-sided tape.

4. Route the antenna cable to the control module and plug it into the antenna connector.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!To achieve the best possible range, DO NOT leave the antenna cable bundled under

the dash. Always extend the cable full length during installation, regardless of the antenna

mounting location.

Ensure that the location you pick for this switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well

hidden. It should be placed so that passengers or stored items (such as items placed in a glove box or center

console) cannot accidentally bump it. The switch fits in a 9/32-inch hole.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the Valet/Program switch

is located and how to disarm the system using the switch.

vvaalleett//pprrooggrraammsswwiittcchh

mmoouunnttiinnggtthheeaanntteennnnaa

Things to remember when positioning the status LED:

■It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.

■It needs at least 1/2-inch clearance to the rear.

■It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling

your 9/32-inch hole.

■Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other installers

remove the panel without having to cut the wires.

If the optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel,

they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory

wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,

routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

Now that you have determined where each component will be located, your next step is to find the wires in the

vehicle that the security system will be connected to.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not use a 12V test light to locate these wires! All testing described in this

manual assumes the use of a digital multimeter.

ooppttiioonnaallssttaarrtteerrkkiillllrreellaayy

ssttaattuussLLEEDD

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant 12V supply to

the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse will also be powering other

circuits, such as door locks, a power window module, or a Nite-Lite® headlight control system, fuse accordingly.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module

has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main

power feed.

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers

the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).

Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor.

HHoowwttooffiinndd((++))1122VViiggnniittiioonnwwiitthhyyoouurrmmuullttiimmeetteerr::

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering

column harness or ignition switch harness is an excellent place to find

this wire.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads

(+)12V, go to the next step. If it does not read (+)12V, probe another wire.

5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than a

few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to Step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V,

you have found an ignition wire.

The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay controlling the starter. In some vehicles, it is

necessary to power a cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter circuit, but it does not

control the starter. Instead, the cold start circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when the

vehicle is cold.

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering

column is an excellent place to find this wire. Remember you do not

need to interrupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding your

optional starter kill relay and connections is always recommended.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the car is

not in gear! If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.

5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.

6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to Step 3. If the starter does not

turn over, you have the right wire.

Most vehicles use a (+) brake light circuit. The (+) brake light wire is often found near the brake pedal. The same

wire can often be accessed in the kick panel or running board.

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the brake light wire.

4. Press the brake pedal. If your meter shows (+)12V, release the brake pedal and make sure it goes back to zero.

5. If it does return to zero, this is the correct brake wire.

An accessory/heater wire will show +12V when the key is in the accessory and run positions. It will not show

+12V during the cranking cycle. 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 vehicles 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.

To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will

show between 1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems, the system can learn individual coil wires. Individual

coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, 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.

1. Set to 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 fluctuate with the rpm of the motor and read between 1V and 6V.

In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dash-

board. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out

the vehicle can be started. This wire is always available at the connector leading to the bulb in the dashboard.

It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles.

2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to (+)12V.

3. Probe the wire that you suspect leads to the bulb with the (-) probe of the meter.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

5. If the meter indicates 12 volts until the light goes out you have isolated the correct wire and the wire's polar-

ity is negative (ground while the bulb is on).

6. If the meter reads zero volts until the light goes out and then reads 12 volts, you have isolated the correct

wire and the wire's polarity is positive.

The primary harness supplied with this unit is the standard 12-pin harness used by Directed Electronics security

systems. Three wires in the plug are not used. The upgrade from this unit to a security system would simply

require unplugging and exchanging control units and connecting the necessary wires to the vehicle. The func-

tions of all the wires that are used in the primary harness are outlined in the following wiring diagram and the

wire connections are described in the wire connection guides.
