REMOTE CONTROL AUTO SECURITY SYSTEM

Installation Manual

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES:

AUTO LOCK / UNLOCK : DIP SWITCH #1

The system is shipped with this feature activated.
Any time the ignition key is turned to the off position, the doors will automatically unlock. Any time the ignition key is turned
to the on position, the doors will automatically lock.
To disable the auto lock/unlock feature, move dip switch number 1 to the "off" position.

PASSIVE / ACTIVE DOOR LOCK SELECTION: DIP SWITCH #2

This feature will only affect the operation of the system if the passive arming feature is selected.
When active door lock is selected, the doors will only lock when the transmitter button is pressed. When the alarm is
allowed to arm passively, at the end of the 30 second arming cycle, the doors will not automatically lock. The system
is shipped in the active door lock mode, therefore, no modifications are required for this feature.
When passive door lock is selected, when the alarm is allowed to arm passively, at the end of the 30 second arming cycle,
the doors will automatically lock. To program this feature, move dip switch number 2 to the on position.

PASSIVE / ACTIVE ARMING SELECTION: DIP SWITCH #3

This alarm can be programmed to operate as either a “PASSIVE” or “ACTIVE” arming security system.
As a “Passive” alarm, the system will automatically arm itself approximately 30 seconds after the ignition key is turned
off, one door is opened, then all vehicle doors are closed, (arming is suspended until the last door is closed). This feature
protects the vehicle in the event you forget to arm the system using the keychain transmitter.
This system is shipped in the passive mode, therefore no modifications are required to make the system operate as a
“Passive” alarm.
As an “Active” alarm, the system can only be armed using the keychain transmitter. There will be no backup automatic
arming.
To make the system operate as an “Active” alarm, move dip switch number 3 to the off position.

DIP SWITCH #4 : INOPERATIVE

CHANNEL 2 OUTPUT:

This system provides an on board 10 A relay to activate the factory installed trunk release solenoid.

CHANNEL 3 OUTPUT:

This system provides an additional hardwire remote output to control an assortment of optional upgrades.
This output is an independent channel from the transmitter, and is controlled by pressing both buttons on the transmitter
simultaneously. It is a low current ground pulse (300 mA maximum), and the duration or length of the pulse varies (this
output will provide a ground signal for as long as both buttons are held), making it a versatile feature. This output can be
used to control;

* optional remote starter AS 9151
* optional window roll up AS 9153

DOOR LOCK / UNLOCK OUTPUTS:

This system provides on-board door lock and unlock relays, making it directly compatible with most original equipment
door lock circuits used in today's vehicles.

FUTURE REFERENCE CHART:

As an added convenience to the professional security installer, a chart has been printed in this guide for recording wire
colors, component mounting locations, and any other useful tips particular to the vehicle you are working on. Taking a
few extra moments on each installation to fill in the chart, can save you valuable time in the future.

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING:

The transmitters included in this kit have been programmed at the factory for the Channel 1 (arm, disarm and panic
function) only. Any additional functions of the system (receiver Channels 2 and 3) must be programmed at the time of
installation. These functions can be assigned to transmitter button number 2, or a simultaneous press of both buttons
1 and 2.
Refer to the transmitter programming guide, included in this package, for more details regarding transmitter button
assignments and system functions.

INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS:

CONTROL MODULE:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dash), and secure using two screws
provided.
The control module can also be secured in place using cable ties.
Do not mount the control module in the engine compartment, as it is not waterproof. You should also avoid mounting the
unit directly onto factory installed electronic components. These components may cause RF interference, which can
result in poor transmitter range or intermittent operation.

SIREN:

Select a mounting location in the engine compartment that is well protected from access below the vehicle. Avoid areas
near high heat components or moving parts within the engine compartment. To prevent water retention, the flared end
of the siren must be pointed downward when mounted.
Mount the siren to the selected location using the screws and bracket provided.

HOOD OR TRUNK PIN SWITCH:

A pin switch is included for use in protecting the hood or trunk (or hatchback) of the vehicle.
The switch must always be mounted to a grounded, metal surface of the vehicle. It is important to select a location where
water cannot flow or collect, and to avoid all drip “gutters” on hood and trunk fender walls. Choose locations that are
protected by rubber gaskets when the hood or trunk lid is closed.
The pin switch can be mounted using the bracket provided, or direct mounted by drilling a 9/32" diameter mounting hole.
Keep in mind that when properly mounted, the plunger of the pin switch should depress at least 1/4" when the hood or
trunk lid is closed.

DASH MOUNTED L.E.D.:

A small red L.E.D. is included that will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm status. It should be installed in the dash,
located where it can be easily seen from outside the vehicle, yet not be distracting to the driver.
Once a location has been selected, check behind the panel for wire routing access, and to confirm the drill will not damage
any existing components as it passes through the panel.
Drill a 15/64" diameter hole, and pass the red and blue wires from the L.E.D. through the hole, from the front of the panel.
Firmly press the body of the L.E.D. into the hole until fully seated.

VALET SWITCH:

Select a desired mounting location for the switch, that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle.
The switch 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. The switch may be mounted below the dash using one of the brackets provided,
or mounted in the dash by drilling a 1/4" diameter hole in the location. Be sure to check behind the dash for adequate
clearance for the body of the switch, and to confirm that the drill will not damage any existing components as it passes
through the dash.
Whichever mounting method is used, make certain the back of the switch is accessible for wiring later in the installation.

WIRING THE SYSTEM:

RED FUSED WIRE: + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE

Connect the red wire toa+12VDCconstant battery source.

YELLOW WIRE: + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE

Connect this wire to a source that is hot when the key is in the on, accessory, and crank positions, and off when the key
is in the off position.

BLACK WIRE: CHASSIS GROUND

Connect this wire to a solid, metal part of the vehicle’s chassis.
Do not confuse this wire with the thin black antenna wire that exits the control module independently.

DARK GREEN WIRE: (-) INSTANT TRIGGER

This is an instant on ground trigger wire. It must be connected to the previously installed hood and trunk pin switches.

PURPLE WIRE: + DOOR TRIGGER

If the vehicle’s door courtesy light switches havea+12volt output when the door is opened ( most Fords and some
Imports ), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the door switches. In most cases, the purple
wire will only need to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many doors the vehicle has.

WARNING: Do not use the purple wire if the vehicle has ground output type door switches. (see BROWN
WIRE)

BROWN WIRE: - DOOR TRIGGER

If the vehicle’s door courtesy light switches have a -ground output when the door is opened ( GM and most Imports) you
must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the door switches. In most cases, the brown wire will only need
to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many doors the vehicle has.

WARNING: Do not use the brown wire if the vehicle has + 12 Volt output type door switches. (see PURPLE WIRE)

DARK GREEN w/ BLACK TRACE WIRE: LATCHING OUTPUT / CHANNEL 3

The green w/ black tracer wire latches to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is
a transistorized, low current (300 mA.) output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
This wire provides an immediate ground signal, and stays at ground for as long as the buttons on the keychain transmitter
remain pressed.

WARNING! Connecting the dark green w/ black tracer wire to the high current switched output of trunk release
circuits, some remote starter trigger inputs, and some window roll up trigger inputs, will damage the control
module.

Connect the dark green w/ black tracer wire to terminal 86 of the AS 9256 relay (or an equivalent 30 A automotive relay),
and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 3.

WHITE w/ BLACK TRACE WIRE: POSITIVE OUTPUT TO SIREN

Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location.
Connect the white/black wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to chassis ground.

ORANGE WIRE: GROUND OUTPUT WHEN ARMED

This wire is provided to control the starter cut relay. Connect the orange wire to terminal 86 of the relay , and wire the
remaining relay contacts as shown in the wiring diagram.

IMPORTANT: Audiovox does not recommend using this relay to interrupt the ignition wire. Only connect this
relay to the low current starter solenoid feed wire, as indicated on the wiring diagram.

WHITE WIRE: + 12 VDC PULSED PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT ( 15 A MAX )

This wire is provided to flash the vehicle’s parking lights.
Connect the white wire to the positive side of one of the vehicle’s parking lights.

Page 3

2 DARK BLUE WIRES: PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 2 (TRUNK RELEASE)

The dark blue wires are controlled via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. These are the NO and
COMMON contacts of an on board, 10 A relay, so they can be connected to positive or negative switched circuits.
Connect one of the dark blue wires to the output of the trunk release pushbutton switch, and the other dark blue wire to
either chassis ground, or + 12 VDC battery, depending on the polarity of the trunk release circuit in the vehicle.
When using this channel for an accessory other than trunk release, connect one dark blue wire to the accessory, and
the other dark blue wire to either chassis ground, or, to a fused + 12 volt battery source, depending upon the requirements
of the accessory.

WARNING: Never attempt to pull more than 10 Amperes of current through this relay. The circuit will be damaged.
Always check the requirements of accessories prior to connecting them to the circuit.

GREY & BLACK 2 PIN (blue) CONNECTOR: VALET SWITCH

Route the two conductor, blue connector from the valet switch to the alarm control module, and plug it into the mating
blue connector on the end of the module.

RED & BLUE WIRES: DASH MOUNTED L.E.D.

Route the two conductor, white connector (red and blue wires) from the L.E.D. to the alarm control module, and plug it
into the mating white connector on the end of the module.

6 PIN DOOR LOCK OUTPUT CONNECTOR:

The orange, blue w/white tracer, yellow, white, green, and blue wires in the 6 conductor connector are the contacts of the
on board door lock relays. The function of each of these wires is listed below;

LOCK RELAY:

blue/white tracer=N.O. relay contact
dark green=N.C. relay contact
yellow=common relay contact

UNLOCK RELAY:

orange=N.O. relay contact
dark blue=N.C. relay contact
white=common relay contact

3 WIRE GROUND SWITCHED DOOR LOCK CIRCUITS:

In these vehicles, the dark green and dark blue door lock wires are not used.
The orange and blue w/white stripe wires must be connected to a chassis ground source.
The yellow wire is the ground pulse "lock" output, and should be connected to the negative lock wire in the vehicle.
The white wire is the ground pulse "unlock" output, and should be connected to the negative unlock wire in the
vehicle.

3 WIRE POSITIVE SWITCHED DOOR LOCK CIRCUITS:

In these vehicles, the dark green and dark blue door lock wires are not used.
The orange and blue w/white stripe wires must be connected to a +12 volt battery source.
The yellow wire is the positive pulse "lock" output, and should be connected to the positive lock wire in the vehicle.
The white wire is the positive pulse "unlock" output, and should be connected to the positive unlock wire in the vehicle.

5 WIRE ALTERNATING DOOR LOCK CIRCUITS:

In this application, it is necessary to cut the existing door lock by pass wires. These wires run from the master door lock
switch to the slave door lock switch, and then on to the door lock motors.
Cut the existing lock wire, and connect the yellow wire to the slave switch or motor side of the cut wire. Connect the green
wire to the master switch side of the cut wire.
Cut the existing unlock wire, and connect the white wire to the slave switch or motor side of the cut wire. Connect the
blue wire to the master switch side of the cut wire.
The orange and blue w/white stripe wires must be connected to a fused +12 VDC battery source.
Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement for proper connection of these wires into the various locking
circuits available in current vehicles.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:

ANTENNA WIRE: Be sure to extend the thin black antenna wire to its full length, and cable tie into place where it cannot

be damaged. Avoid wrapping this wire around major, high current wire looms.

WIRE DRESSING: Always wrap the alarm wires in convoluted tubing, or with a spiral wrap of electrical tape. Secure

these looms along the routing using cable ties.
This will ensure that the alarm wires are not damaged by falling onto hot or sharp moving surfaces in the vehicle.

OPERATION: Take a few moments to check off the appropriate option boxes in the owner’s manual, and to fully explain

the operation of the system to your customer.
