KG888 INSTALLATION HANDBOOK
INTRODUCTION
This installation handbook is designed for the professional installer. This book
assumes the installer has a comprehensive understanding of how automotive electrical
systems operate and the proper way to test and connect wiring for proper operation.
INSTALLATION GUARDLINE
Determine most suitable location for all components to be placed. These components
include main unit, switches, and relays.
Use a multi-meter to test and locate all of your connection points. Record the color
codes and polarity of the wiring. This will save time by not having to retest the same wires
for same car again.
Allow enough wire to create a service loop with strain relief, should servicing the
required. This will also allow for easier access and mounting.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
 DO NOT EXTEND STARTER WIRE HARNESS LENGTH when mounting module,
make certain to place module so that wire reaches ignition switch wiring. Extending
this wire may result in starting problems.
 DO NOT ROUTE ANY WIRING THAT MAY BECOME ENTANGLED with brake, and
gas pedals, steering column, or any other moving parts in the vehicle.
 DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED OUTPUT CURRENT of any circuit. Failure to this
warning will result in damage to the unit and possible resulting damage to the vehicle.
 WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IN A GARAGE , make sure that door is open and
adequate ventilation is provided.
 DO NOT CONNECT TO VEHICLE'S MAIN POWER FEEDS INTO THE IGNITION
SWITCH
. Always run your own fused heavy gauge power leads direct to the battery
or battery distribution post.

IGNITION WIRING: SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL MOTORS PASS KEY & PASSLOCK SYSTEM
GM PASS-KEY SYSTEM
Some GM vehicles, Corvette, Cadillac, and other high line makes, have a factory anti-theft
system that disables the starter and fuel injectors. This system uses a resistor embedded
in the ignition key to release the anti-theft system

5
TO OVERCOME THE PASSKEY SYSTEM WHEN REMOTE STARTING, a resistor of
identical value must be installed to deactivate the anti-theft system. Use relay diagram
below.
Locate the two pass key wires in the steering column. These wires may have insulating
jacket around them. These wires may also be located at the pass key module.
Below is listed the possible different wire colors:
A pair of Black or White 22 gauge wires
Purple/white and White/black wires
Yellow and Brown wires (older models)
Now insert the ignition key into the ignition switch and measure the resistance across the
two wires. Use a good quality multi-meter to get an accurate measurement. It may be
necessary to disconnect the wires to get an accurate measurement.
IGNITION WIRING: SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL MOTORS PASS KEY SYSTEM
The diagram below shows how to bypass the PASSKEY for remote start and still maintain
the VATS integrity under normal use. If you wish bypass the PASSKEY completely, simple
cut both wires of the passkey and place resistor across both wires going to the decoder
module.

IGNITION WIRING: SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL MOTORS PASSLOCK SYSTEM
This system is currently found in General Motors 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire
and Pontiac Grand Am. Below is the diagram showing how to bypass this system.
GRAY wire - 20gauge 9
th
pin of 9-pin white plug Negative Window Closer
Connect GRAY wire to power window closer trigger line. There are two types of window
closer: WC-2D is for 2 windows; WC-4D is for 4 windows. The connection to window closer
module illustrates on the following diagram.
BROWN wire- 18gauge 8
th
pin of 9-pin white plug Positive Siren Output
The Brown wire is connected directly to the siren's RED wire, and the siren's BLACK
wire is connected to chassis ground (diagram A). If other devices are to be supplied by the
BROWN wire, additional relay will be required as follows (diagram B):
NOTE: If the brown wire touches ground directly without a load it will damage the alarm
module.

7
WHITE wire - 18gauge 7
th
pin of 9-pin white plug Flashing Parking Light
Connect this wire to the vehicle's positive 12 volts parking/turn signal/hazard lights.
American and Japanese vehicles , the parking lights operate on a single fused circuit.
Connect the WHITE wire directly to the back of any parking light or at main lighting switch
with an in-line 10 amp fuse.
NOTE: Some Japanese vehicles use a ground-triggered relay to active parking lights. This
ground trigger wire can be easily located in the steering column harness.
European vehicles and all hazard/turning signals , the light circuits are separately
fused for left and right. A pair of 6 to 10 amp diodes must be used to connect the white
wire to each parking light side. The following diagram shows the method:
BLACK/RED wire- 20gauge 6
th
pin of 9-pin white plug Hand-brake SW
Connect BLACK/WHITE wire to end of hand-brake switch, this point will have 12 volts
when you pull down the hand-brake, and 0 volt when you pull up the hand-brake.
ORANGE wire - 20gauge 5
th
pin of 9-pin white plug Negative Output for Starter Killer
To interrupt the vehicle's starter circuit, the starter wire must be located and cut. We
recommend that this should be done as close to the ignition switch as possible. Use a
voltmeter,
DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT , to find the correct wire, which is the wire from the
ignition switch to the starter solenoid.
CAUTION : Improper use of a test light can cause deployment of the airbag, which may
result in bodily injury! Test lights can also damage expensive on-board computers and
associated sensors. The starter wire will read 12 volts only when ignition key is in "start"
position (cranking the engine). Cut this wire at a suitable location. Confirm that this is the
correct wire by turning the ignition switch to the "start" position. The starter should not
engage.

8
RED/WHITE wire - 20gauge 4
th
pin of 9-pin white plug Optional Trunk Release Output
Unless the vehicle's trunk release switch negatively triggers a solenoid that draws no
more than 250mA, an external relay must be used. The following diagram shows the
typical connection:
VIOLET wire - 20gauge 3
rd
pin of 9-pin white plug Positive Door Trigger Input
Connect the VIOLET wire to a wire in the vehicle which is common to all the door pin
switches. This type of door switch system will have 12 volts when any of the doors are
opened, and chassis ground when the all of the doors are closed. The following diagram
shows a basic positive door switch system:
GREEN wire - 20gauge 2
nd
pin of 9-pin white plug Negative Door Trigger Input
Connect the GREEN wire to a wire in the vehicle that is common to all the door pin
switches. This type of door switch system will be ground when any of the doors are
opened, and up to 12 volts when all of the doors are closed. The following diagram shows
a basic negative door switch system:

The included pin switches may be installed to provide this trigger circuit, or, use the exist
switches (i.e. a light in the luggage compartment or a trunk ajar light in the dash), may be
connected to BLUE wire directly. An indication of such a circuit is the wire having no
voltage present when the hood or trunk is opened, and up to 12 volts when the hood or
trunk is closed.
NOTE : When wiring more than one of vehicle's circuits to this wire, you may need a diode
to isolate the circuits.
