hly recommended that a remote still be accessible for the
operation of the vehicle in case a cellular system outage occurs.
The C|3 will operate anywhere covered by the cellular system. In some remote areas there will be no cellular coverage for the system to operate. This can depend on the carrier, terrain and environmental factors that can interfere with normal cell phone operation.
It is highly recommended that a data and text message plan be purchased for the phones controlling the C|3 in your vehicle or vehicles. This will prevent additional billing from your cell phone provider. The C|3 uses compact data bursts that are typically very small in size however these could add up.
This unit as well as the user’s cell phone MUST be programmed before they will operate. Please see dealer and user programming contained in this manual.
Insure that a cell phone is not being used to control the vehicle when working on that vehicle. Always install a safety hood switch when installing a remote start devise. Please see your alarm or remote starter manual for additional precautions.
This product will only work with C|3 compatible Auto Page products and ADS data modules.
A data module is not required for the operation of C|3.
Full vehicle information can only be achieved in selected vehicles
that have CAN systems. This information is always being updated and added as these vehicles become available. Please be sure that your data module is downloaded with the latest software and two-way protocol.
Never operate the C|3 when driving the vehicle.
Never leave small children or pets in an unattended vehicle.
Always install and test the remote starter or alarm system 100%
ii. Subscription Requirements and Account Setup
C|3 requires that you subscribe to a prepaid service that provides cellular connectivity to your vehicle system. The subscription service will be billed to you when you register your C|3 system and download the software to your cellular phone. You can download the C|3 software to as many cellular phones as you wish without incurring additional C|3 subscription costs. Go to www.c3.gomoshi.com to learn more. If you purchase a subscription with limited monthly usage you will be notified when you are approaching your limit and you will have the opportunity to buy additional uses for the current month. These additional uses will expire at the end of your usage period and do not roll over.
[NOTE: The C|3 system will not function until the registration process is completed and the subscription account is properly setup!]
1.0 Installation and Removal
1.1 Installing C|3 On Your Phone
The C|3 application can be downloaded during the account setup process in the C|3 customer portal. To log into the customer portal, visit
www.c3.gomoshi.com. A text message containing a link will be sent to
your phone enabling you to download the application or access C|3 via the internet browser on your phone. If you are unable to access this link
within the text message, you may manually type it into your phone's browser. Note, different versions of the C|3 applications are compatible with various phones. Please visit www.c3.gomoshi.com to get the
appropriate version for your device.
2.1 Configuring
Your
C|3 Software
When C|3 is downloaded and installed on your phone, it comes in a ‘Not Activated’ state, that is to say that it is not connected to any vehicles. Follow the instructions on the website to Activate your C|3 software to your vehicle. Log on to your account at www.c3.gomoshi.com to retrieve your activation code. The configuration established by your professional installer during the installation of the vehicle hardware will be transferred to your phone during activation. You can always add additional features to your C|3 system. Ask your professional installer about additional modules to control other vehicle systems that are C|3 compatible. Any changes after the initial setup can be transferred to your phone by selecting the “Update C|3” option from the options menu within the C|3 application on your phone.
2.2 Activating Your C|3 Software
C|3 is designed to allow your phone (and other phones on your account) to securely access your vehicle system. This is accomplished by assigning a unique passkey to your phone such that the Moshi™ network can properly verify that your phone is authorized to control your vehicle system. This unique passkey is assigned to your phone when you activate the C|3 software you have downloaded. The activation process automatically assigns your unique passkey; you only need to follow the instructions in your account on the C|3 web portal and on your phone to complete this process. This step only needs to be completed one time for each phone on which you load the C|3 software. If your phone gets reset or you need to reinstall the C|3 software, you will need to activate your software again. Please go to www.c3.gomoshi.com and log into your account to add phones or reinstall the C|3 software.

Once the C|3 application is downloaded to your phone it should appear in the list of applications in this menu. Some phones allow you to assign ‘Soft Keys’ to certain applications via the setup or customization menus. For example, the C|3 application can be setup to start by selecting the Right or Left ‘Soft Key’ on your phone. Once you have found the application in the menu, it can be launched as any other application, by scrolling to the application name and selecting ‘OK’, or ‘Select’.
3.2 Selecting Functions Using Your Phone Controls
There are several different methods of controlling the functions of C|3, depending on the capabilities of your phone.
Most modern cellular phones have navigation keys (up, down, left, right) as well as an ‘OK’ or select button. These navigation keys can be used to highlight and select icons within C|3 application. Refer to Figure 3.2.1 for an example of what your navigation keys may look like.
Another method of selecting icons and executing functions within the C|3 application is to utilize the alphanumeric keypad (number buttons) on your cell phone. Refer to Figure 3.2.1 for an example of how to execute functions using these keys.
Certain Windows Mobile devices have touch screens. You can execute C|3 functions by touching the associated icons on the screen with the stylus (or your finger).
If you have an iPhone then you are using the web based version of C|3. All of the multi-touch features of your web browser function exactly as they normally do. You can zoom in or out or touch the icons on the screen to execute functions with your iPhone.
Lastly, you can activate “Short Cut Keys” within C|3 by selecting

4.0 Options Menu and Navigation Tips
The C|3 Main Menu contains functions that you can use to customize the setup of your phone. Items such as a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or activation of short cut codes can be turned on or off to fit your needs. Depending on the model of your phone, these menu options may appear in a different order than listed below, but they will function as described.

4.1.1 Set PIN
For security purposes, you can setup a PIN that will prevent unauthorized people from accessing the C|3 software on your phone. It is important to note that no personal information is contained within the C|3 application, and at no time is personal information transmitted from your phone from the C|3 application (please visit www.c3.gomoshi.com for details about our privacy policy).

4.2 Activate / Reset / Update C|3
4.2.1 Activate C|3
See Section 2.2 for details about C|3 activation and why it is important. To activate your C|3 software, select ‘Activate’ from the Options Menu. (NOTE: If ‘Activate’ does not appear in the Options Menu then your software has already been activated and does not need to be activated again unless you have problems accessing your vehicle system from your phone.) When you select ‘Activate’, your phone will prompt you for your 12-digit activation code. Your phone will then send this code to the Moshi database for verification and notify you that “Activation was successful”. This code can only be provided via the C|3 customer portal website. If you need to reinstall the phone software, or you do not have an activation code you may acquire one by logging in to your account at
www.c3.gomoshi.com and clicking on the ‘My Phones’ tab. There
you will see options to either reinstall your software (Download C|3), or to request a new activation code (Activate C|3). The “Download C|3” option will send a message to your phone containing the download link, as well as generate a new activation code. If the C|3 software is already on your phone and you are just activating it, you can select the “Activate C|3” link, as you do not need to download the software again. Just enter the new 12-digit activation code into the Activate screen within the C|3 application on your phone. (NOTE: Activation codes are only valid for one activation, and they expire after 24 hours.)

7.0 Customer Support
7.1 Network Outages
Cellular networks occasional experience periods of ‘outage’ or abnormally high amounts of traffic that make it impossible to send data for brief periods of time. Because your C|3 system utilizes these cellular networks, it may also not be able to send commands to your vehicle system due to this outage or network traffic at times. The C|3 system is designed to minimize these instances, and will ‘try’ three times to send your command if for some reason it cannot contact your vehicle system. In the case of three consecutive failed attempts to contact your vehicle system, the C|3 system will notify you that your command was unsuccessful.
