This Remote Start is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this sys-
tem is a sophisticated device 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!
INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE: PART # 1365407
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. The module will be secured
after all wiring is completed which will allow complete access until the job is done.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
HOOD PIN SWITCH: PART # 1363699
The pin switch included in this package is intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle. In all cases,
the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated (hood open), it will
supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the hood switch 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.
THE PUSH-BUTTONPROGRAM SWITCH/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: PART # 1181202
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the
dashboard 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 the double stick tape provided.

INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER
SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY
CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
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.
WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS: PART # 1123742
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.
1 Blue Wire: Ignition 1 Output
Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" and the "START" or CRANK" positions, and will have 0 Volts when the
key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions.
For Diesel Applications, this wire must be connected to the ignition circuit that powers the glow plugs if the
vehicle requires glow plug pre-heating. (See selectable feature Bank 3 #12)
2 Red/White Wire: +12 Volt Battery 1 Source Fused 30A
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verication: This wire 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.
3 Green Wire: Ignition 2 Output
Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or CRANK" position. This wire
will show 0 Volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions.
NOTE: See programming information (Bank 3 Selection #7) concerning this wire to allow output during the
"START" mode.
4 Purple Wire: Accessory Output
Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition
switch is turned to the "ACCESSORY" or "ON" and "RUN" positions, and will show 0 Volts when the key is
turned to the "OFF" and "START" or "CRANK" positions.
5 Red Wire: +12 Volt Battery 2 Source Fused 30A
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verication: This wire 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.
6 Yellow Wire: Starter 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 congurations.
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 ensure 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 congurations, the connection of the Yellow 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.

WIRING CONNECTIONS: 14 Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness PART # 1124305
1 Green w/ Orange Trace Wire: Tachometer Input Signal
This wire will continually monitor the engine's tach rate while the unit is under the power of the Remote
Start module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the rewall 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 coil pack regardless of the number of cylinders.
If the unit has difculty sensing a single coil, this input can connect to an injector wire as an alternate.
NOTE: For Hybrid mode selection, Bank 3 feature selection 5, this connection is not required, the unit will
start the vehicle and run the allotted time based on feature selection and crank duration.
2 Green w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input
The Green w/Yellow Trace Wire, when connected to the wire that gets +12 Volts during the glow plug preheat
stage will delay the starter output until this wire drops the 12 Volts. In other words, in a Diesel vehicle with
glow plug preheat circuit, when the ignition is turned on, the vehicle will not crank until the glow plugs are
hot enough to re the atomized fuel oil when injected into the cylinder. By connecting this wire to the glow
plug +12 Volt wire, when the remote start unit activates the ignition one output, the glow plug output also
activates. The remote start sees the green/yellow with positive voltage and waits for this to go inactive (drop
to 0 Volts) before activating the starter motor. If this wire is not used or you have difculty accessing the glow
plug preheat circuit, you may elect to utilize the Diesel timed output as specied in Remote Start feature
selection Bank 3 Feature #12.
NOTE: If the Green w/Yellow Trace Wire is used, it will override or negate any setting of Bank 3 feature #12.

3 Dark Blue Wire: (-) 300mA Pulsed Channel 3 Output (Trunk)
The Dark Blue Wire supplies a 300mA ground pulsed output whenever channel three of the receiver is
accessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button for three seconds will access channel three.
This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay to supply power to the trunk release or the
circuit you wish to control. Connect the Dark Blue wire to terminal # 86 of a 30 amp automitive relay. Connect
terminal # 85 of the relay to a fused +12 Volt source. Connect the common, normally open, and normally
closed contacts of the relay to perform the selected function of channel 3.
4 Brown w/ Black Trace Wire: Positive Inhibit
The Brown w/ Black Trace Wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control module whenever
it gets +12 Volts. If the Brake lights switch in the vehicle switches +12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect
the Brown w/ BlackTrace 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.
5 Brown Wire: (+) Inhibit Shut Down
Any time +12 Volts is applied to the Brown Wire, the Remote Starter will be prevented from operating, even
if the signal is received from the transmitter. If there is a neutral start wire in the vehicle that switches +12
Volts when the vehicle is in any gear other than Park or Neutral, this wire can be connected to that vehicle
wire to prevent starting while in gear.
6 Gray Wire: (-) Inhibit / Shut Down
Any time ground is applied to the Gray Wire, the Remote Starter will be prevented from operating, even if
the signal is received from the transmitter. If there is a neutral start wire in the vehicle that switches ground
when the vehicle is in any gear other than Park or Neutral, this wire can be connected to that vehicle wire
to prevent starting while in gear.
If the vehicle you are working switches ground to the brake light circuit, this wire can be connected 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.

8 Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank)
The Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire will provide a 300 mA ground output while the starter output of the remote
start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM
vehicles. This wire is also referred to as the ECM wake up wire in some vehicles.
NOTE: The outputs above are low current outputs and must be used with a relay if the circuit's requirement
is more than 300 mA. This output is also selectable and can perform an alternate function as shown
in feature selection Bank 3 Feature #20.
