Manual or Automatic Transmission
This module may be installed on vehicles with manual or automatic transmissions. It is originally configured for manual
transmissions. If the vehicle you are working on is automatic, it is mandatory to make a few quick and easy modifications before
the unit is connected. In the event that the configuration requires changes afterwards, a complete reset will be
necessary before those changes become effective.
To Install this unit In a vehicle with a manual transmission:
Make sure the Yellow loop on the PC board is connected.
Connect the BlackfWhlte handbrake wire located on the 12-pin harness to the vehicle handbrake switch.
Connect the Violet (+) door input OR the Green (-) door input wire located on the 12-pin harness to the vehicle
door pin wire, which monitors all the doors of the vehicle (only use 1 of the 2 door trigger inputs).
Make sure the VioletiWhite TACH wire is plugged in - the TaCH wire MUST be hooked up when the module is

set for a manual transmission.
Make all your regular connections.
Power up the unit by first inserting the 5-pin connector, then the 6-pin connector and finally the 12-pin connector.
The parking lights will flash 4 times to confirm that the unit is in manual mode.
When learning the transmitter, the parking lights will flash 5 times quickly, confirming that the module is set to

Caution!
Only one set of pins can be used at one time. Using more than one jumper may result in serious damage to the vehicle. The
relay output rating on this unit is 25 a at most. Defective oem solenoid switches can sometimes draw up to 50 or 60 a, causing
the 30 a fuse to blow. Always verify your circuit with an appropriate measuring device.
Tach jumper settings
Some new vehicles have a higher TACH voltage threshold,
which would fall out of the normal TACH trigger circuit of the
remote car starter. Changing the jumper to TaCH Threshold
HIGH will allow the module to properly detect the TACH signal.
Testing
Before putting back the vehicle together, it is recommended to
check that the system operates properly. The following testing
procedures should be used to verify proper installation and
operation of the system. Before testing, make sure that all
connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in.
□ If installed on a MANUAL transmission, make sure the system properly enters and exits ready mode:
Ready mode is a sequence of steps that must be followed in order to allow manual transmission vehicles to be
remote started. To get into ready mode:
If Ready Mode is enabled by remote If Ready Mode is enabled by handbrake
