INTRODUCTION
INSTALLER WARNINGS
This Remote Starter System is designed to be installed on fuel-injected vehicles with an automatic transmission ONLY.
n Never install this remote starter on a manual transmission vehicle.
n This system must be installed and wired through a safety switch it will not start in any forward or reverse gear.
n Some automatic transmission vehicles [mainly older GM vehicles with a purple starter wire] have a mechanical-type
park safety switch instead of electrical safety switch. The mechanical type does not interrupt the starter circuit when the
transmission is any gear and does not offer the 100% level of safety required for remote starting purposes. Therefore,
our system should never be installed on any vehicle that uses a mechanical type park safety switch.
n Once you install this system, you must verify that the vehicle will not start any forward or reverse gear. Regardless of
the type of vehicle.
n Read operation manual for operating and programming routine.
n Do not install any component near the brake, gas pedal or steering linkage.
n Some vehicles have a factory installed transponder immobilizer system that can severely complicate the installation.
There is possibility that this system cannot be installed on some immobilizer-equipped vehicles.
n Most vehicles have an SRS air bag system. Use extreme care and do not probe any wires of the SRS system.
n Disconnect the car battery before connecting work on the vehicle.
n Check behind panels before drilling any holes. Ensure that no wiring harness or other components are located behind
the panels that would otherwise be damaged.
n Use conventional crimp lock, bullet on any wiring. Poor wiring, i.e. taped joints will possibly introduce unreliability into
the alarm system and may result in false alarms or incorrect operation.
n Install wiring neatly under carpets or behind trim to prevent possible damage to wires.
n For the wire operates the current more than 10A. We suggest soldering all connection point. Do not use crimp lock
type connectors or wire nuts.

WIRING
Keep wiring away from moving engine parts, exhaust pipes and high-tension cable. Tape wires that pass through holes on
the firewall to prevent fraying. Watches out sharp edges that may damage wires and causes short circuit.
CAUTION: Do not connect the wire harness to the control module until all wiring to vehicle is complete.
H1: 6 PIN HEAVY GAUGE WIRING CONNECTIONS:
Remember that the system does to start a vehicle is duplicate the functions of the ignition key switch! Below, we will
explain the three basic functions of the ignition switch. Since this installation will require analysis of the ignition switch
functions, we recommend making the three connections below at the ignition switch harness directly.
H1/1. Violet 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
can not 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 VIOLET wire will be made to
the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire has +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 neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and
property damage. SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

H1/2 & H1/3. Red Wire (2)-- +12V Power Input
Remove the two 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the satellite has been plugged
into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay satellite will energize. They
must be connected to a high current source. Since the factory supplies (+) 12V to the key switch that is used to operate
the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected there.
Note: If the factory supplies two separate (+) 12V feeds to the ignition switch, connect one RED wire of the satellite to
each feed at the switch.
H1/4. Yellow Wire – Ignition 1 Output
Connect the YELLOW wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. The ignition wire should receive "12 volts" when
the ignition key is in the "ON" or “RUN” and "START" or “CRANK” position. When the ignition is turned "OFF", the
ignition wire should receive "0" voltage. The YELLOW wire must be connected.
H1/5 Pink wire – Ignition 2 Output
Some vehicles have [2] ignition wires that must be power. Connect the PINK wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition
switch. The ignition wire should receive "12 volts" when the ignition key is in the "ON" or “RUN” and "START" or
“CRANK” position. When the ignition is turned "OFF", the ignition wire should receive "0" voltage. If the PINK wire is not
used, cap the end of the wire.
H1/6 Brown wire – Accessory Output (Heater /ACC Output) –
Connect the BROWN wire to the accessory wire in the vehicle that powers the climate control system.
An accessory 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” position. There will often
be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. If selected, the correct accessory wire will power-up the
vehicle’s climate control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the blower motor and the air conditioning
compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the second accessory wire.

H2: 5 PIN WIRE HARNESS:
H2/1. RED / WHITE WIRE –PARKING LIGHT RELAY INPUT --
The RED/WHITE wire is the input to the flashing parking light relay. The connection of the RED/WHITE wire will
determine the output polarity of the flashing parking light relay.
If the vehicle you are working on has +12volt switched parking lights, you don’t need connect this wire. This wire already
connected to +12volt. If the vehicle’s parking lights are ground switched, cut the RED/WHITE wire, connect the
RED/WHITE wire to chassis ground.
H2/2. WHITE WIRE -- PARKING LIGHT RELAY OUTPUT (+12 V 10A OUTPUT) --
Connect the WHITE wire to the parking light wire coming from the headlight switch. Do not connect the WHITE wire to
the dashboard lighting dimmer switch. (Damage to the dimmer will result). The limitation of the WHITE wire is 10 AMP
max. Do not exceed this limit or damage to the alarm and parking relay will result.
H2/3. BLACK WIRE -- SYSTEM GROUND –
This is main ground connection of the alarm module. Make this connection to a solid section of the vehicle frame. Do
not connect this wire to any existing ground wires supplied by the factory wire loom; make the connection to the
vehicle's frame directly.
H2/4. BROWN WIRE – (-) 200mA PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUT (See Feature I - 3 Programming)
HORN OUTPUT – (Factory Default Setting)
This wire is provided to use the existing vehicle's horn as the alarm system's optional's warning audible device. It's a
transistorized low current output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle's
horn switch.
FACTORY SECURITY RE-ARM SIGNAL OUTPUT– (See Alarm Feature I - 3 Programming)
This wire is designed to rearm a factory installed security system. This wire will sup
ply a pulse whenever the remote
start times out or is shut dowm using the transmitter and remote door locking..
H2/5. RED WIRE -- SYSTEM POWER (+12V CONSTANT) --
The RED wire supplies power to the system. Connect this wire to a constant +12 volt source.
H3: 8-PIN MINI WHITE CONNECTOR WIRE HARNESS:
H3/1. WHITE/RED wire—Tachometer Signal connection—
This input provides the remote start system with information about the engine’s revolutions per minute (RPM). It can be
connected to the negative side of the coil in vehicle with conventional coils. In multi-coil and high energy ignition system
locating a proper signal may be more difficult. Once connected, you must Program the Feature III – 1 to “Tachometer
checking type” and teach the system the RPM signal.
To test for a tachometer wire, a multi-meter capable of test AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will show
between 1V and 6V AC at idle, and will increase as engine RPM increases. In multi-coil ignition system, the system can
learn individual coil wire. Individual coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage.
Also, if necessary, the system can use a fuel injector control wire for engine speed sensing. Common locations for a
tachometer wire are the ignitions coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission
computers.
IMPORTANT! Do not test tachometer wires with a test light or logic probe. The vehicle will be damaged.
How to find a tachometer wire with your multi-meter
1. Set the ACV or AC voltage (12V or 20V is fine.)
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Start and run the vehicle.
4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter.
5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V.
NOTE: No connection of this wire is required, if you use the voltage or timer checking type mode.
H3/2. BLACK/WHITE wire — (-)Neutral Safety Switch Input —
—(-)Remote Start Enable Toggle Switch Input —
When the BLACK/WHITE wire is grounded, the remote start unit is operable. When this wire is open from ground, the
remote start is disabled.
1. The optional “remote start toggle switch” can be added on to temporarily disable the Remote Start Device, it can
prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or
stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the optional remote start enable toggle switch to the
OFF position. To enable the remote start, move the optional remote start enable toggle switch to the ON position.
2. If needed, this wire can be connected to the PARK/NEUTRAL switch in the vehicle. (See the TESTING YOUR
INSTALLATION GUIDE)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Directly connect the BLACK/WHITE wire to the “GROUND” when this wire is not used.
