TRANSMITTER CODE LEARNING
The transmitters do not come pre-programmed. They must be “CODE LEARNED” at the time of installation. The unit will hold up to 4 transmitter codes in memory.
To program a new transmitter:
1. Raise the Hood.
2. Turn Valet switch “OFF”.
3. Turn Ignition “ON”.
4. Turn Valet switch “ON”. Parking lights SHOULD turn ON for 5 seconds.
5. Press CH1 on transmitter within 5 seconds of step 4. (Parking lights will flash 5 times fast, and 2 times slow)
6. Turn Ignition “OFF” and close the Hood.
MULTI CAR OPERATION (Only available on AS-1263/1264 & 1265)
*To program transmitter to second vehicle for multi-car operation, you must press on the transmitters CH3 (TRUNK) in step 5 of transmitter code learning.
The AS-1263/1264/1265 systems feature multi-car operation. This allows the owner of two Autostart systems in two of his/her vehicles to control both systems with one transmitter. (Both vehicles must be equipped with an AS-1263/1264/1265. The remote transmitter of the primary vehicle can control the starter disable system, the door locks, and the remote car starter and trunk operation of the second vehicle. The remote transmitter of the second vehicle can also operate the primary vehicle.
TRANSMITTER FUNCTION
Once programmed, the transmitter will be operational. (Hood must be closed) The transmitter is equipped with 2 channels.
They are as follows:
1. Button 1 (CH1)– controls door locks and engine kill option.
2. Button 2 (CH2)– controls remote starter and cold weather timer.
Note: Either button can be used to get into Ready-Mode.
TACH ADJUSTMENTS
Engine starter systems have two methods of fine­tuning the Tach signal that is generated from the vehicle, the first method is manual Tach searching and setting, and the second is automatic Tach searching and setting. Either method can be used, however an automatic search is recommended. Tach adjustment
procedures should be done every time a new unit is installed. This is because the Tach signal
from some ignition systems can sometimes be too high or too low, thus causing failed starts under different temperatures.
The procedures for Tach adjustment are as follows:
1. Hold Hood switch down for 6 seconds.
2. Release pin switch (Hood switch). Parking lights should turn ON.
3. With Parking lights ON, immediately press and release pin switch again.
4. Parking lights will stay ON for up to 20 seconds. (If not repeat from step 1)
5. With Parking lights ON press CH3 (TRUNK) of remote transmitter. (Parking lights will flash 1 to 7 times)
6. Start the vehicle using the key.
7. If Parking lights stays ON, then you have selected an incorrect Tach wire. (Relocate Tach wire and start from step 1) If Parking lights goes OFF then proceed to the next step.
8. Allow vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed, then press and release brakes. (Parking lights will flash appropriate setting, from 1 to 7 flashes)
9. Press TRUNK of remote transmitter, to save setting. (Parking lights will flash one long flash)
MANUAL TACH SEARCHING AND SETTING
NOTE: A manual adjustment should only be done if the auto setting is not completing the crank cycle properly in cold weather.
1. Hold Hood switch down for 6 seconds.
2. Release pin switch (Hood switch). (Parking lights should turn ON)
3. With Parking lights ON, immediately press and release pin switch again.
4. Parking lights will stay ON for 20 sec. (If not repeat from step 1)
5. Press CH3 (TRUNK) of remote transmitter at the same time Parking lights will flash 1 to 7 times.
3
6. Now you can increase or decrease the Tach settings, depending on your needs.
7. LOCK will decrease the setting and START will increase the setting.
8. After proper setting has been reached, press TRUNK to save setting. (Parking lights should flash once long)
CUSTOM PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
Engine starter systems are equipped with 2 custom programming menus that allow the user to custom fit the system according to the installation requirements. These options are designed to help make interfacing with all vehicles possible.
To get into custom programming mode you must do the following:
1. Hold pin switch down for 6 sec.
2. Release pin switch (Hood switch). Parking lights will turn ON.
3. Immediately press and release pin switch once again. (Parking lights will stay ON for 20 sec.)
4. Press and hold brakes, and press LOCK or START on remote transmitter. (LOCK for mode one, and START for mode two) Parking lights will flash once for Mode 1 and twice for Mode 2.
After you have entered into one of the two programming menus you can release the brake pedal. The unit will stay in programming mode until the hood pin switch is pressed or the Valet switch has been turned OFF. (So take your time to
make the proper selection)
The menu will automatically start you at function one, once you choose from one of the three Options; you will automatically jump to the next function.
To select one of the three options press the appropriate transmitter buttons. (See below)
1. LOCK = Option 1
2. START= Option 2
3. TRUNK = Option 3
Note: CH1&CH2={CH3=TRUNK} and CH2=START in 2-Button remote.
Once an option has been selected the Parking lights will flash 1,2 or 3 times. (Depending on option
selected)
MODE 1
*INDICATES DEFAULT SETTING
FUNCTION 1
OPTION 1* Ignition Lock ON. OPTION 2 Ignition Lock OFF. OPTION 3 Ignition Lock ON and Locks in TOGGLE MODE*
*DOOR LOCK TOGGLE MODE
This engine starter has a built-in starter kill features and even if the starter kill is not installed, the logic for it still dominates the operation of the system. What this means is that the starter kill will arm automatically 45 seconds after the vehicle’s Ignition is turned “OFF”. The vehicle’s starter wire is then interrupted until the starter kill is disarmed by pressing Button 1 (Unlock) on the remote. If the doors were not locked within the initial 45 seconds of the Ignition being turned “OFF” the first press of Button 1 will disarm the starter kill, unlocking the already unlocked doors before they can be locked again, arming the starter kill. Enabling Toggle Mode will circumvent this logic and allow the doors to lock on the first press of the Button regardless of how much time has elapsed since the Ignition was turned “OFF”. This means that when the doors are resting in the unlocked state, the next logical step for the system to take is to lock the doors. When the doors are in the locked state the next logical step for the system to take is to unlock the doors. Selecting Toggle Mode will automatically enable Ignition Lock.

OPTIONS PLAYBACK
This feature helps to double check the options that are selected. To do the playback you must perform as follows:
1. Raised the Hood. (Parking lights turns ON)
2. As soon as the Parking lights turns ON press the pin-switch (Hood switch) three times. The Parking lights flashes according to the options that you have selected:
Option 1: one flash
Option 2: two flashes Option 3: three flashes
TACH WATCH LOCKOUT
Tach Watch lockout is a safety feature built into the remote starter to protect the vehicle’s starter motor. If, during remote start, the vehicle’s engine ever cranks the entire programmed crank time without detecting any Tach pulses during the first crank cycle, the unit will go into Tach watch lockout. The diagnostics for this is 3 quick Parking lights flashes when trying to remote start the vehicle. If your module is in Tach Watch Lockout it is indicating that a problem exists with the Tach signal it is receiving. Verify that the Tach wire from the remote starter is properly connected to a good Tach signal in the vehicle.
To remove the unit from Tach Watch Lockout you must do the following:
1. Close the Hood.
2. Disable starter kill. (If installed)
3. Start the engine using the key.
4. Let it run for at least 25 seconds, then shut it OFF.
5. The module should now be out of Tach Watch Lockout.
If module is still in Tach Watch Lockout move Tach wire to a better Tach source and perform an Automatic Tach Setting. Repeat steps 1 to 5.
DIESEL ENGINES
All systems are equipped with a dedicated “GLOW PLUG” input (Pin # 4). This input must be wired to the “Wait to Start” light in the vehicle and must receive 12 volts for as long as the light is ON. When this input is used, a protection diode must be installed on the brake input.
Note: Diesel mode must be programmed for this to work.
SETTING THE UNIT INTO READY MODE
The UNIT does not come with CH2 operational from the box. What this means is that to remote start the vehicle you must first get the unit into Ready
Mode. To get into Ready Mode you must do the following:
1. Close Hood and Doors.
2. Make sure shifter is in Neutral.
3. Get in and start vehicle with the key.
4. Apply the Parking brake.
5
5. Within 20 sec. press either Button on transmitter. (Parking lights will flash 3 times quickly, and stays ON)
6. Remove the key vehicle will stay running.
7. Exit the vehicle and close the door.
8. Press and hold either Buttons on transmitter until the vehicle shuts down.
The vehicle will now be in ready mode, to start press START on the transmitter.
REMAINING IN READY MODE
Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can start and stop the vehicle at will. However, should any of the following occur the vehicle would come out of Ready Mode thus eliminating the remote start option until Ready Mode is restored?
1. Doors opened.
2. Hood opened.
3. Brakes pressed.
4. Parking brake disengaged.
5. Key turned to the ON position.
Should any of the above occurs, ready mode would be cancelled.
*NOTE: The unit will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving three slow flashes of the vehicles Parking lights.
CLUTCH BYPASSING
Most manual transmission vehicles will require the clutch to be pressed in order for the vehicle to crank. This being true under remote start as well, so a clutch bypass must be performed.
A simple thing to look for when performing a bypass, is the maker of vehicle you are working on, typically most domestic vehicles have a direct feed wire at the clutch switch, this means that the starter wire in the vehicle becomes continuous with +12volts when the clutch is pressed. While import cars typically have a relay that is controlled with the clutch pedal. This means that when the clutch is pressed it will send a signal to a relay, allowing the vehicle to start. Always test first.
PARKING BRAKE WIRE
The system has a Parking brake input; this input is used as part of the Ready Mode sequence and must be connected. This input is supposed to be a ground. All vehicles are equipped with a Parking brake, and all use a negative signal.
The easiest location to find this wire is at the Parking brake housing. Always test first.
TRUNK OUTPUT
The unit is equipped with an AUX negative output; refer to this output as CH3 (TRUNK). This output can be used as a remote trunk release by connecting it to a relay that would activate the vehicle’s trunk or hatch release, whenever TRUNK on the remote transmitter is activated.
NOTE: The output from the module is a 250ma signal that has been designed to activate a relay, DO NOT, under any circumstances drive the OEM trunk wire with the direct output from the module, a high current relay must be used.
RESETING THE MODULE
All AutoStart’s are equipped with a reset function that allows the installer to erase all transmitter codes and return all programmed options to factory default.
To reset the module:
1. Turn the Valet switch “OFF”.
2. Apply ground to Pin # 12 (External Trigger).
3. Turn the Ignition “ON”.
4. Raise Hood.
5. Press and hold brake “ON”.
6. Turn Valet switch “ON”
7. Parking lights should flash 8 times quickly.
8. Press Lock on transmitter within 5 seconds to program transmitter.
See Custom Programming options for
default settings.
SECURE LOCK
Secure lock is for cars that arm and disarm off the lock and unlock wires. (I.e.… New VW’s) When secure lock is activated it will unlock the doors prior to remote start the car. Once the car is started it will relock the doors. (Usually not rearming the factory security). After remote shutdown or run time it will relock the doors again. (Rearming factory security)

SOME COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The following are some commonly asked questions about our product, followed by possible answers.
Q: Does the Parking brake wire have to be
connected?
A: Yes the Parking brake wire must absolutely be connected.
Q: Do both door trigger wires on the 9-pin harness have to be connected?
A: No, only one of the 2 trigger wires must be connected, or the unit will not enter ready mode. (Refer to wire guide for proper polarity)
Q: Unit gives me one long flash when getting into ready mode instead of three, and shuts OFF when key is removed.
A: The long flash indicates that there is a problem with the Tach signal you are using. Locate another Tach wire or perform an automatic Tach learn.
Q: Can the vehicle start in gear?
A: No. Because the unit see the vehicle shut down
by remote once the user has exited the vehicle. Knowing that the vehicle was running when it was exited indicates that the vehicle is in neutral.
