The PRO-9175FTRemote Start/Keyless Entry 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
pre-heat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #9). If the diesel engine has
a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), feature #9 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.
INSTALLATIONOF 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.
THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:
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. After securing the antenna it is
recommended to secure a section of the antenna cable to a fixed support. This will prevent the antenna from
dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface.
PROGRAM SWITCH :
Select a mounting location that is within reach of the ignition switch, as this switch, in combination with the ignition
switch, 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 orient 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.
CONTROL SWITCH:
Select a mounting location known and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A lower dash panel, kick panel, or
glove box is desirable. 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 suggested that the switch be oriented 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. Place the RED rubber boot, included in the kit, over the switch handle to differentiate this switch from the program switch.
The PRO-9175FT is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this
combination Keyless Entry/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 MULTI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS
INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER
SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERYCABLE
FROM THE VEHICLE BA TTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS:
RED w/ WHITE Trace Wire: + 12 volt Battery 1 Source
Connect this wire toa+12VDCconstant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp fuse
and holder provided. This wire provides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.
RED Wire: + 12 Volt Battery 2 Source
Connect this wire toa+12VDCconstant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp fuse
and holder provided, but NOT the same vehicle wire as used by the battery 1 source. Most vehicles have
more than one battery source supplying power to the ignition switch. Separate feed wires must be used for
the Red and Red/White wires. If your vehicle does not have two battery feed wires at the ignition switch then
it is possible to connect both wires to the vehicle's battery. This wire provides power for the start relay and the
accessory relay.
IMPORTANT!
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 motor, and accessories exceed 24 Amps continuous, we recommend that two fuses be used in combination on each power wire as shown below. For additional information see Tech Update issued 9/30/96.
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 configurations.
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 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.
SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
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 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 #9)
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 concerning this wire to allow output during the "START" mode.
VIOLET 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.

Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source
Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be
certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self taping screw and ring terminal.
BLACK w/WHITE Tracer Wire: Control Switch
The Black w/ White tracer wire provides ON-OFF control of the Remote Starter.
When the Black w/ White wire is switched to a full time ground, the PRO-9175FT Remote Start Module is
operative. When the Blackw/ 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 9175, 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.
