PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTERS
To use the transmitter with your alarm/starter
system, you must first have the system learn
the transmitter's code. The system can
learn a total of 4 transmitters. If more than 4
transmitters are programmed, the oldest codes
will be replaced.
(The same transmitter can be coded 4 times to
lock out all other transmitters.)
The AS-4563/4564/4565 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 AS4563/4564/4565.
The remote transmitter of the primary
vehicle can control the starter disable
system, the door locks and the remote car
starter operation of the second vehicle.
The remote transmitter of the second vehicle
can also operate the primary vehicle
REMOTE STARTER & ALARM VALET
MODES
The alarm/starter unit can be placed in
Remote Starter Valet Mode to disable the
capability of starting the engine by the
unit while maintaining the alarm and door
locking/unlocking functions. This is
recommended if the vehicle is to be parked
in a garage or if the vehicle needs to be
serviced.
NOTE: In order to program a new transmitter
code, Alarm Valet Mode must be disabled.
Also, when programming the transmitter, make
sure that no other transmitter is in use or the
alarm/starter unit may learn it.
1. Make sure that the Alarm Valet Mode is
disabled.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON
3. Open the hood
4. Turn the Valet switch ON, OFF, ON
5. The parking lights will come ON. You
have up to 5 seconds to press Button I
on the transmitter to be added to the
unit, if the operation is successful, the
alarm/starter unit will flash the parking
lights 5 times quickly.
Note that the Alarm Valet Mode is enabled at
the end of this procedure. You should disable
it to return to normal operation. If the code
could not be read by the unit, repeat the
operation from step 1. If you cannot program
the unit after several tries, there may be a
problem with the transmitter or remote starter
unit.
The alarm/starter unit can also be switched
to Alarm Valet Mode to stop an alarm
condition or to disable the alarm functions
and the anti-theft starter kill feature. While
in the Alarm Valet Mode, the remote starting
capability, the panic mode and door
locking/unlocking functions are still
operational.
NOTE: Enabling Alarm Valet Mode is
required if you want to stop the initial
alarm condition that occurs when
powering-up the system.
Using one of the next options will permit the
user to place the alarm/starter in any one of
the following combinations using the
single valet switch:
• Normal operation
• Alarm valet mode only
• Starter valet mode only
• Alarm and starter valet modes

TRANSMITTER FUNCTION
Once programmed, the transmitter will be
operational. (Hood must be closed)
The transmitter is depended on the module
type.
*The STOP Button on AS-4565 has NO
function.
NOTE: Pressing any button with the vehicle
running, parking brake engaged and the doors
closed, will put the unit into Ready Mode.
TACH ADJUSTMENTS
Autostart systems have two methods of fine
tuning the tach signal that is generated from
the vehicle, the first method is manual tach
search and setting, and the second is
automatic tach search 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 pinswitch (parking lights should
come on)
3. With parking lights on, immediately push
and release pinswitch again.
NOTE: A manual adjustment should only
be done if the auto setting is not
completing the crank cycle properly in
cold weather.
MANUAL TACH SEARCH AND
SETTING
1. Hold hood switch down for 6 seconds
2. Release pinswitch (parking lights should
come on)
3. With parking lights on, immediately push
and release pinswitch again.
4. Parking lights will stay on for 20 sec. (if
not repeat from step 1)
5. Press Channel 3 (Trunk) of remote
transmitter at the same time (lights will
flash 1 to 7 times)
6. Now you can increase or decrease the
tach setting, depending on your needs.
7. Channel 1(LOCK) will decrease the
setting, and channel 2 (START) will
increase the setting.
8. After proper setting has been reached,
push Channel 3 (Trunk) to save setting.
(parking lights should flash once long)
CUSTOM PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
Autostart 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 pins-witch (parking lights will
come on)
3. Immediately push and release
pins-witch once again. (parking lights
will stay on for 20 sec.)
