This Remote Start/Keyless Entry Upgrade System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission
Vehicles Only! The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a 10 second output for glow plug
preheat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #5). If the diesel engine has
a instant fire, (no glow plug preheat system), feature #5 should remain in the default Gasoline mode setting.
For diesel applications, consult your dealer for the type of ignition system used in your particular vehicle.
Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the vehicle MUST HAVE a Tach Signal
Output, and an Automatic Transmission.
INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting
location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6-pin
main wiring harness.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the
module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or
block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location
using cable ties or screws as necessary .
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
HOOD PIN SWITCH:
The pin switch included in this package is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the
vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to
start is issued. This switch MUST be installed in all applications Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or property damage. Mount the switch in an area under the hood that is away from water drain paths.
If necessary, the included brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow
mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In either case the switch must be set up to allow the hood door
to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened.
For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the chosen location to insure the
drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and
thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first
secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket
hole.
PROGRAM SWITCH / CONTROL SWITCH:
Select a mounting location that is within reach of the ignition switch, as this switch, in combination with the
ignition switch and brake, will be used to program the selectable features of the system. It is suggested that
the switch be mounted to the lower dash panel in the driver's area. Inspect behind the chosen location to
insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate
any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by
passing it through the panel from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer , and on/off face
plate. It is best to oriented the switch to allow the on position to be up toward the driver and the off position
to be down or away from the driver. Route the switch wires toward the control module.
The AS-9075 is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this Remote
Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle
with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MUL TI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS
INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS T O THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE.
AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW , DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE
BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BA TTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS:
Note: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be
used and located as close as possible to the power source for adequate protection of the vehicle.
Fused RED w/ WHITE TRACE WIRE: + 12 volt Battery 1 Source
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all positions
of the ignition switch. Connect the Red w/White wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power for the
control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.
Fused RED WIRE: + 12 Volt Battery 2 Source
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all positions
of the ignition switch. Connect the Red wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power for the start relay
and the accessory relay.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLING TECHNICIAN TO DETERMINE THE LOAD FACTOR OF THE
VEHICLES ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND TO ADEQUATELY FUSE THE TWO
POWER WIRES BASED ON THAT LOAD. IF THE VEHICLE, RUNNING UNDER LOAD WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER, HEATER BLOWER MOT OR, AND ACCESSORIES EXCEEDS 24 AMPS CONTINUOUS, WE RECOMMEND
THAT TWO FUSES BE USED IN COMBINATION ON EACH POWER WIRE AS SHOWN BELOW. FOR ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION SEE TECH UPDA TE ISSUED 9/30/96.
YELLOW Wire: S tarter Output
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from
starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation
method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all
mechanical switch configurations.
IMPORTANT!
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage.
In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and assure
that the vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Y ellow wire will be
made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts when
the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other ignition
switch positions.
NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the electrical
neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay ,
( when used ) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram.
Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the of the neutral safety switch can result in personal
injury and property damage.

the Black w/ White wire is at open circuit through the control switch, the remote starter is disabled.
Connect the Black w/ White tracer wire to one of the wires from the back of the previously mounted control switch.
Connect the remaining wire of the control switch to chassis ground. Always try to mount the switch so that the ON
position is in an upward or toward the driver direction.
GREY Wire: Negative Inhibit Input 1
Connect the GREY wire to the previously mounted hood pin switch provided . This wire will be routed through the
fire wall into the engine compartment. It is necessary to use an existing grommet when passing wires through the
fire wall to prevent short circuiting. This is an important safety feature of AS-9075, and failure to use this feature can
result in serious injury. Route the wire to the pin switch and connect it using the bullet connector provided.
GREY w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: Negative Inhibit Input 2
Any time the grey w/ black tracer wire is grounded, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal is received
from the transmitter.
If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches ground to the brake light circuit, connect the Grey w/ Black trace wire
to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches +12 Volts, do not use the Grey
w/ Black wire; see Brown w/ Black tracer wire.
BROWN Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 1
Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown wire, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal is received
from the transmitter.
If the vehicle has a factory installed hood pin switch, and that switch provides + 12 Volts to an under hood light, the
Brown wire can be connected to the existing pin switch.
BROWN w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 2
Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Black tracer wire, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the
signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches + 12 Volts to the brake light
circuit, connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the vehicle
switches ground, do not use the Brown w/ Black wire; see Grey w/ Black tracer wire.
Note: The Brown/Black wire is used for programming, if the brake switch in the vehicle switches ground, a normally
open push-button switch must be added. During the program sequence, when the brake pedal is pressed
and released, this switch will be used in it's place.
If the installation of this switch is necessary, connect one end of the normally open push button switch to the Brown/
Black wire, and connect the other end of the switch to a fused + 12 volt source.
