CONGRATULATIONS On the purchase of your new Audiovox Alarm System.

Taking a few minutes to read this installation and owners guide will provide you
with the detailed information concerning all the features of your new alarm system.

MOUNTING THE SIREN:

1. Choose a location in the engine compartment

that is away from hot and moving parts,
considering the Red wire length must
connect to a battery positive source. Mount
the siren high enough to prevent access
from below the vehicle. Typical locations
are the inner fender well or the rear firewall.

2. Once you've selected a location, inspect
behind the area to ensure that drilling the
two holes required to mount the bracket will
not penetrate wiring or fluid lines.

3. Using the siren bracket as a template, mark
the two mounting holes with a scribe or
punch at your chosen location and drill two
3/16" holes on the pre-selected marks.

4. Using the two 1/4" x 1" screws supplied,
secure the siren mounting bracket in place.

5. Mount the siren to the bracket as shown
using the two nuts, washers, and lock
washers provided. Point the siren horn
(front) downward to allow the sound to
easily escape the engine compartment.

Note: If the bracket is mounted to a grounded

metal surface, secure the Black siren
ground when mounting the siren to the
bracket. If the bracket is mounted to

plastic or a non grounded surface,
connect the Black siren ground wire as
described in the following section.

2. Mounting the Override Toggle Switch

Select a flat area on the lower dash lip, where
the switch is readily accessible to the driver,
but will not be accidentally bumped. Other
alternate locations are on the driver’s side kick
panel, or the side of the lower steering column
cover.

Since this is a “protected” ( will only operate
when the key is in the ignition ) bypass switch,
it does not have to be concealed, however
concealing the switch is always recommended,
as this provides an even higher level of
security to the vehicle.

IMPORTANT ! Make sure there is adequate
room behind the panel for the body of the
switch in the selected location. You should
also be sure that the drill will not pierce any
wires, or damage other components after
passing through the panel. It is always best to
remove the panel from the vehicle before
drilling the hole.

To mount the override switch;

A. Drill a 1/4" diameter hole in the selected

switch location.

B. Pass the switch through the hole from

behind the panel, and secure from the front
using the split lockwasher and hex nut
provided.

wires from the ignition switch.

To mount the relay;

A.Screw the relay to the mounting surface,

using a sheet metal screw through the
hole in the relay mounting tab.

B.Secure the relay to an existing wire harness

or other component using cable ties.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

Making the connections to the vehicle, as
described in this wiring section, may be
beyond the technical abilities of the average
consumer. If you have any questions with the
wiring procedures, please call a qualified
automotive technician, or call the AUDIOVOX
HOT LINE at 1-800-225-6074. Prior to making
any connections, a 12 Volt logic probe should
be used to confirm the proper connection point.

IMPORTANT ! The 9 pin white connector on
the end of the main harness that plugs into the
siren control module should remain disconnected
during the wiring portion of the installation.
Leaving this disconnected will ensure that the
keychain transmitters are properly programmed
later in the installation.

Routing The Wiring Harness

The GRAY, ORANGE, and YELLOW wires
must be routed through the firewall and into the
passenger compartment of the vehicle. The
ORANGE wire should be routed toward the
Starter Interrupt Relay harness. The GRAY
wire will be routed to the override switch. The

-3-

YELLOW wire will be routed toward the fuse
panel.

Caution

should be used when routing
wires. Keep wires away from all hot surfaces,
and any moving parts of the vehicle (radiator
fans, accelerator or brake pedal linkage, etc.).

When routing wires through the firewall, be
sure to pass the wires through an existing
rubber grommet. Failure to do this can result
in damage to wires from sharp metal edges,
and an eventual failure of the security system.

1. RED: (12 V olt Positive Input)

Connect the Red wire of the siren to Positive
post of the battery using the 5/16" ID ring ter­minal as shown. If your vehicle has side mount
main battery terminals, it will be necessary to
locate an alternate + 12 volt constant source.
If you are unfamiliar with automotive wiring, it
would be best to consult your dealer before
making this connection.

2. BLACK: (Ground Input)

Connect the Black siren wire to a clean
grounded metal part of the vehicle. Drill a 1/
8" hole in your chosen mounting location,
scrape off any paint or grease from the area
and secure the ground wire with the 1/4" ring
terminal and screw provided.

3. WHITE: (12 V olt Parking Light Flash Output)

Gain access to the wires coming from the back
of one of the front parking lamp sockets.
Switch the parking lights on, and locate the
wire that shows + 12 volts on the logic probe.
Switch the parking lights off, and verify that this
wire now shows 0 volts. Connect the WHITE
wire from the alarm to this wire, and insulate

the connection with electrical tape.

4. Connecting the YELLOW wire

Locate a fuse in the vehicle’s fusebox that
shows + 12 volts on the logic probe when the
ignition key is switched to the “ON” or “RUN”
position, and shows 0 volts when the key is
switched to the “OFF” position (radio or wiper
fuse).

After you have located a suitable fuse, switch
the ignition key to the “ON” position, remove
the fuse, and probe the contacts where the
fuse plugs into. One of the contacts will not
show 12 volts on the logic probe; this is where
the YELLOW wire will be connected.

Connection Method A;

A. Locate the wire coming from this fuse

terminal at the back of the fusebox.

B. Splice the YELLOW wire from the harness

to this wire and insulate with electrical tape.
