Before You Begin
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION IS
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
Roll down window to avoid locking the keys in the vehicle during installation.
Avoid mounting components or routing wires near hot surfaces or near moving
parts like the steering wheel as it may prevent proper operation of the vehicle.
T ape or loom wires under the hood and dash for protection as well appearance.
Use grommets when routing wiresthrough metal surfaces to prevent chafing
and shorting.
Use a Digital Multi Meter for testing and verifying circuits. DO NOT USE A
"TEST LIGHT" OR "COMPUTER SAFE PROBE" as these can set off air bags
or damage sensitive vehicle computers and electronics.

MOUNTING OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS
Control Module: Part # 1365043
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment ( up behind the dash ), and secure using the
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. Y ou 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: Part # AS9903
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 comp artment. T o 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: (Optional) Part #1363699
An optional pin switch should be used for 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 an optional bracket or can be directly mounted by drilling a ¼ “ diameter mounting
hole. Keep in mind that when properly mounted, the plunger of the pin switch should depress at least ¼ “
when the hood or trunk lid is closed.
Push-Button Program Switch/LED/Receiver/Antenna Assembly: Part # 1181201
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dash
board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for
best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize
a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the
antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape
provided.
6 Pin Receiver Harness Part # 1123908
Red, Green, Black, Gray , Blue, Plug In Harness For Receievr RX, TX, 5 VDC, Ground, LED & V alet
Shock Sensor: Part # AS9492a
Select a solid mounting surface for the shock sensor on the firewall inside the passenger compartment, and
mount the sensor using the two screws provided. The shock sensor can also be secured to any fixed brace
behind the dash using tie straps.
Whichever mounting method is selected, make certain that the sensitivity adjustment is accessible for use
later in the installation.
STARTER INHIBIT RELA Y : Part # 1363731
Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the relay to an
existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness.
Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.
CAUTION! Do not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause
chaffing and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then
secure the relay's metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self tapping
sheet metal screw . Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.

WIRING THE SYSTEM
Large 8 Pin Power Connector:
Red/White (5 Amp) & Red Fused (15 Amp) Wires : + 12 VDC Constant Battery Source
This wire controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior
light when a door is opened. It will also detect the switching on of parking or headlamps and in many cases
will trigger the alarm when a thermostatically controlled electronic radiator cooling fan switches on.
When installing this system into vehicles with electronic "after fans " it is recommended you disable the
voltage sense circuit.
In voltage sensing applications, the closer to the battery that the red wire is connected, the less sensitive
the voltage sense circuitry will be. Moving this connection point to the fuse panel will increase the sensitivity , and connecting to the courtesy lamp fuse in the vehicle will provide maximum sensitivity of the voltage
sense circuit. Be certain to set selectable feature # 7 to 1 chirp, V olt age Sense On.
When hardwiring the control module to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be
disabled.
Orange Wire: 300 mA Ground Output When Armed
This wire is provided to control the starter cut relay . Connect the orange wire to terminal 86 of the relay.
Connect relay terminal 85 to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is live when the key is in the on and crank
positions and off when the key is in the off position. (This is where the yellow wire from the alarm should be
connected).
Cut the low current starter solenoid wire in the vehicle, and connect one side of the cut wire to relay terminal
87A. Connect the other side of the cut wire to relay terminal 30.
Note: This is a normally closed starter cut arrangement and when power is removed from the security
Green w/ White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output
This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max) whenever the remote is used to disarm the alarm or to
unlock the doors and provides a continuous pulsed output whenever the alarm is triggered. This wire should be
connected to an external relay and wired to the vehicles interior entry lighting whenever the optional Interior Illumination circuit is desired. See Wiring Diagram for details.
Dark Blue Wire: Delayed 300 mA Pulsed Output / Channel 3
The dark blue wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a transis-
torized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
CAUTION: Connecting the dark blue wire to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits, and some
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.
system, the starter disable feature will not operate, allowing the vehicle to start. Aud iovox does not
recommend using the Orange wire to interrupt anything but the starting circuit of the vehicle.
remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module. In these cases, connect the dark blue wire
to terminal 86 of an Automotive 30 AMP relay , terminal 85 to +12 V olts, and wire the remaining relay
contacts to perform the selected function of channel 3.
