WIRING CONNECTIONS: 12 Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness PART #1123751
1 Yellow/Black Wire: + 12 VoltAlarm By - Pass Output
NOTE: You must disconnect the ignition input of the alarm from any other wire that it is presently connected
to in the vehicle.
Thiswireprovidesa+12Voltoutputwhentheignitionkeyisturnedtothe“ON”position,and0Voltswhentheignition
key is “OFF” or when the vehicle is running under the control of the remote starter.
This wire should be connected to the ignition input of the alarm system.
This output will allow you to remote start the vehicle while leaving the alarm armed, and to lock/unlock the doors
while running under control of the remote start unit.
2Green w/ Orange Wire: Tachometer Input Signal
This wire will continually monitor the engine's tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start
module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine
compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil.This Remote Start unit learns the tach
rate of the vehicle and in most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the
number of cylinders. If the vehicle has a single coil unit for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect
this wire to more than one cylinder for proper tach reference. See Multi Coil PackAdaptor wiring detail
shownlater in thismanualfor additional information.
Note: ForHybridmodeselection, Bank 3 feature selection 5, this connectionisnot required, the unit will
start the vehicle and run the allotted time based on feature selection and crank duration.
3 Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source

5 Light Blue Wire: Ignition 3 / Ground While Running Output
This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start Unit initial-
izes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 2 seconds after the Remote Start Ignition 1 turns
off. In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required. The Light Blue wire can be used to
accommodate the following situations:
A. Shock Sensor By Pass:
If there is Shock Sensor used with an alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote Start activation
period, then vibration from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger. In this case, connect the Light
Blue Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay. Connect terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery
source. Cut the shock sensor trigger wire and connect one end of the cut wire to terminal #30 and the other
end of the cut wire to terminal #87a. Just before the Remote Start unit is activated, the relay contacts will open,
preventing the shock sensor's operation until the Remote Start unit shuts off.

B.Ignition 3 Output:
Some newer vehicles use a third ignition wire, which is required to start and keep the vehicle's engine running.
If this is the case, connect the Light Blue wire to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect terminal #30 & #85
to a fused + 12 volt battery source rated for a minimum of 25Amp. Connect terminal #87 to the third ignition wire
in the vehicle.
C.GM VATSKey Override:
If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to bypass the system while the
vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To Do This;
1. Measure the resistance of the resistor pellet on the ignition key then select a resistor within 5% of the key's
value from the resistor pack supplied.
2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the ignition switch
to the VATS control module.
Note: These wires are typically White w/ Black trace and Violet w/ Yellow trace, however in later model Cadillacs,
they are run through an orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Yellow, or both White wires. Consult
the factory service manual for additional information.
3. Connect the Light Blue Wire from the Remote Start Unit to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect terminal
#85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.
4. Cut (#1) wire (as shown), and connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to terminal #87a of the relay.
Connect the other side of the (#1) wire to terminal #30.
5. Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire (as shown).
NOTE: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only.
6 Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input
TheGreen/Yellowwireofthe12pinconnector willconnect toadieselvehicle'sglowplugwire. Whentheunitreceives
a start command, this wire must go to + 12 then to ground to allow the crank sequence to begin. When ignition #1
is activated by the remote start unit, the glow plug circuit gets energized, (+ 12 volts), when the glow plug circuit of
the vehicle drops the + 12 volts, which effectively grounds the wait to start input, then 500mS later the starter will
engage. This wire can also be connected to the Glow Plug Bulb wire in the vehicle if this bulb wire gets + 12 volts
when the ignition comes on and drops low when the glow plug circuits temperature is reached. Be sure to fuse the
wire with a 1 Amp Fuse when connecting to a high current circuit such as a factory glow plug wire. The fuse should
be installed as close to the high current wire as possible. If you are installing this unit in a Gasoline vehicle, this
wire is not used.
7 Gray Wire: Negative Inhibit Input 1

8 Brown Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 1
Anytime +12VoltsisappliedtotheBrownwire,theRemote Starterwill stopoperating, evenif thesignal is
receivedfromthetransmitter.
Ifthevehiclehasafactoryinstalledhoodpinswitchandthatswitchprovides+12Voltstoanunderhoodlight,
the Brown wire can be connected to the existing pin switch.
9 Brown w/ Black Wire: Positive Inhibit Input Plus Trigger When Armed
TheBrown w/BlackTracewire providesan instantshutdownfortheRemote StartControl modulewhenever
it gets + 12 volts also triggers the alarm when armed. If the Brake lights switch in the vehicle switches + 12
volts to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output side of the brake switch.
This will allow the Remote Start to shut down if an attempt is made to operate the vehicle without the key
while running under the control of the Remote Start. In most vehicles, in order to shift into gear, the brake
pedal must be depressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off.
10 No Connection
11 White Wire: Parking Light Flasher Output
This wire is the normally open contact of the on board parking light flash relay. Connect this wire to the
vehicle's parking light feed wire. This is the wire that gets switched on, either (+) or (-), when the vehicle's
parking light switch is activated.
12 White Wire: Parking Light Flasher Input
Thiswireis thecommoncontact oftheon board parkinglight flasherrelay. Ifthevehicle youareworking on

NEUTRALSTARTSAFETYTEST:
Theintentof the neutral start switch istoprevent the vehicle from startingwhilethegear selector is in any
positionotherthan Park, orNeutral. When installinga Remote StartDevice, it isimperativethat theYellow
Starter wire be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. Consideration for the
placementofa starter inhibit relayis important as wellandshould be connected totheignition switch side
of the Yellow Start Wire.
To test the integrity of the Neutral Start Safety Circuit:
1. Set the vehicle parking brake.
2.Block thedrivewheels topreventvehicle movement.
3. Temporarily disconnect the Brown/Black positive shut down wire from the vehicle's brake switch.
4. Sitting in the vehicle, start the engine using the vehicle's ignition key.
5. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into reverse.
6. Allowthe transmissiontoshift.When youfeelthe enginepull, donotmove thegear selector justturn the
ignition switch off. DO NOTattempt to remove the key.
7. Keeping the brake pedal depressed, activate the RF transmitter in an attempt to start the vehicle. The
car should not start.

8. Repeat the above test this time move the gear selector to the drive position.
If the unit attempts to start, failing this test, recheck your Yellow Wire's connection. This wire must be
connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are working on does
not have an Electrical Neutral Safety Switch, it will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote Starts Wiring
toaccommodate the vehicle.The information concerningthe Mechanical NeutralSafety Switch provided
below will help you to determine if the vehicle you are working on has this type of safety switch and will
providealternatewiring methodstoaccommodate this situation.

MECHANICALNEUTRALSAFETYSWITCH CONSIDERATIONS:
Mechanicalneutral safetyswitch configurationsdiffer slightlyin thatthey donot offerthe samelevel ofsafety
when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is
in any position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the
start position or be removed from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation
while the vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of this potential
problem,thisinstallationrequires the additional connection of asafetywire from the remote start device to
the vehicle Park/Neutral ECM Input or the vehicle key in sensor. This connection will prevent remote start
operation if the key is left in the ignition switch regardless of the gear selectors position.

KEYIN SENSORCIRCUITS:
Ifthevehicle you areworkingon does not haveor you cannot locatetheECM reference wire,thereare

AUDIOVOXADVISESTHATYOU MAINTAINTHE FACTORYCIRCUITWHENEVERPOSSIBLE.The
following two circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.
NOTE: When completing an installation using either of the following key in sensor circuits, if the operator
inserts the ignition key while the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start, the vehicle will
shut down. This must be explained to the operator as it is in contrast to the normal operation of a vehicle
utilizing an electrical neutral start switch and is inconsistent with the operators manual.
Additionalinformationconcerning Key InSensormethods 1 &2are listed belowand should be reviewed
beforeconsidering eitheralternative.
Method1will allow the safetyrequiredfor the remote start unitandprevent the vehicle fromstartingwhile
in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, if the key is left in
the ignition switch and the door is left opened, the added relay will be energized causing a 150mA drain
on the battery.
Method2will allow thesafetyrequired for the remotestartunit and preventthevehicle from startingwhile
in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, the original factory
key in chime module will not alert the owner that the key has been left in the ignition switch. In addition,
this may also effect other warning tones such as the light on reminder.
Thesesituationsshould becarefullyconsidered before alteringthevehicle's wiring andmust be fully
explainedtothe consumer.
