INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
Control Module :
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. 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 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.
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.
Drilla¼“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 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 valet switch can be mounted to the lower side of the dash by drillinga¼“diameter hole in the
selected 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. You should also make
certain that the back of the switch is accessible for wiring later in the installation.
OPTIONAL Shock Sensor :
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.

WIRING THE SYSTEM
Large 8 Pin Edge Connector :
Red Fused Wire : + 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.
When hardwiring the control module to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be
disabled. Move dip switch#2totheoffposition, then connect the red wire toa+12VDCconstant battery
source.
White Wire : + 12 VDC Pulsed Parking Light Output ( 15 Amp 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.
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.
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.
Dark Blue Wire : Delayed 300 mA Pulsed Output / Channel 2
The dark blue wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a
transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
WARNING: Connecting the dark blue wire to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits, some
remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.
Connect the dark blue wire to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay ( or equivalent 30 A automotive relay ), and
wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 2.
Dark Green w/ White Trace Wire : Entry Illumination ( 300 mA max. )
The dark green w/ white trace wire provides a 30 second ground signal whenever the system is disarmed,
and pulses ground whenever the system is triggered.
It should be used to provide the ( optional ) entry lighting, and to flash the vehicle’s dome light while the alarm
is sounding. This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay
coil.
Connect the dark green with white trace wire to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay ( or equivalent 30 A
automotive relay ), and wire the remaining relay contacts according to the polarity of the dome light circuit in
the vehicle.
NOTE : When wiring this feature in vehicles with factory equipped delay lighting circuits, it is best
to connect to the output of the timer which feeds the dome light, rather than at the door
switch. This will ensure that the dome light pulses when the alarm is triggered.

Orange Wire : 300 mA Ground Output When Armed - N. C. Starter Disable
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 system, the starter disable feature will not operate, allowing the vehicle to start.
Audiovox does not recommend using the Orange wire to interrupt anything but the starting
circuit of the vehicle.
Mini 9 Pin Edge Connector :
Light Green Wire : ( - ) Instant Trigger Zone 1
This is an instant on ground trigger wire. This wire ( zone ) should be reserved for connection to optional
ground output trigger devices such as motion and / or shock impact sensors.

Connect this wire to a source that is live when the key is in the on and crank positions. Be sure that this
source is off when the key is in the off position.
Purple Wire : + Door Trigger
If the vehicle’s door courtesy light switches havea+12volt output when the door is opened ( some 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 courtesy light switches havea(-)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.
WARNING : Do not use the brown wire if the vehicle has + 12 volt output type door switches. ( see Purple
Wire ).
Dark Green Wire : ( - ) Instant Trigger Zone 2

Black w/ White Trace Wire : 300 mA Horn Output
The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current
output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch.
If the vehicle usesa+12VDChorn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace wire to terminal 86 of the
AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp automotive relay ), and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused + 12
VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay
terminal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.
Dark Green w/ Black Trace Wire : Latching Output / Channel 3
The green w/ black trace 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 button(s) on the
keychain transmitter remain pressed.
WARNING ! Connecting the dark green w/ black trace wire to the high current switched output of
trunk release circuits will damage the control module.
Connect the dark green w/ black trace wire to terminal 86 of the AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp
automotive relay ), and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 3.

5 Wire Alternating 12 Volt
Door Lock Control Circuits
In these applications, the AS 9159 Door Lock Interface ( or equivalent 30 A automotive relays ) must be
used. Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement for proper connection to these types of
circuits.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLA TION
Antenna Wire : Be sure to extend the thin black antenna wire to it’s full length, and cable tie into place
where it cannot be damaged. Avoid wrapping this wire around major, high current wire looms.
Adjusting the OPTIONAL Shock Sensor : Using a small screwdriver, gently turn the adjustment screw
fully counterclockwise. ( DO NOT over turn this screw. Maximum rotation for this adjustment is 270° ).
Close the hood and trunk lids, and arm the alarm. Wait 6 seconds for the accessories trigger zone to
stabilize, then firmly strike the rear bumper with the side of a closed fist considering the amount of force
required to break a window.
CAUTION : Never perform this test on the vehicle’s glass, as you may break the window.
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise ( increasing sensitivity ) about ¼ turn and re - test. Repeat this
procedure until the alarm sounds. Ultimately, one very firm strike to the rear bumper will cause the alarm to
sound.
WARNING ! Setting the sensitivity too high can cause false alarms due to noise vibrations from passing
trucks and heavy equipment. To decrease sensitivity, turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise.
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.
