Notice

The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any electrical damage resulting from improper installation of the product, be that either damage to the vehicle itself or to the Unit. This Unit must be installed by a certified technician using all safety devices supplied. Please note that this guide has been written for properly trained Autostart technicians, a certain level of skill and knowledge is therefore assumed. Please review the Installation Guide carefully before beginning any work.

Warning

Introduction

This Guide contains all information pertinent to the installation. Most (if not all) features are grouped in the User Guide and therefore, should you need information on a feature, you should refer to the User Guide

Included in the Package

Please review the Installation Guide before beginning the installation, particularly the Wiring Schematic and the Programming Options. It is very important that you familiarize yourself with the programming and the operation of the system, even if you have already installed a similar system in the past. There are many great features that may be overlooked if the manual is not read; this would prevent you from maximizing the potential of the Module. Prior to the installation, make sure that all the hardware components required to install the system are in the box.

The following is a list of components included in the kit:

1 – Control Unit 1 – Super-regeneration monopole

receiver or Long-range superheterodyne receiver

2 – Multi-channel 5-button

Transmitters 1 – Plug-in dual-zone Shock Sensor 1 – Plug-in Push-button Valet Switch 1 – High-power 120-dB 6-tone Siren 1 – six-pin 14 AWG Harness

INDUSTRY CANADA USER NOTICE (Canada):

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication".

FCC USER NOTICE (U.S.A.):

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Before You Get

Ƈ On vehicles with a manual Transmission,

always ensure that all Doors will get the Unit out of Ready Mode. Switch the wire used so that it is triggered by all Doors. Ƈ Make sure that the Parking Brake and Door Switch contacts work properly. Ƈ When working on a vehicle, always leave a window open. Ƈ Never leave the keys in the car. Leave them on a workbench with a window rolled down. Ƈ Remove courtesy light fuse, if possible, to prevent battery drain.

Ƈ The Programming Assistance Button (A.k.a. PAB.)

The PAB is mounted on the side of the Unit. This push button mimics the Hood-Pin switch in order to avoid having to get out of the vehicle and pressing the Hood-Pin switch. The PAB will

Ƈ Inspect vehicle for any body damage or electrical problems

Ƈ Always solder and tape all connections. Ƈ Keep the Transceiver away from other types

of antennas (GPS/Onstar). Ƈ Never install the control unit where it could interfere with normal operation or obstruct service technicians. Ƈ Always use a grommet when running wires into the Engine compartment. Never run wires through bare or sharp metal. Ƈ Do not disconnect the battery on vehicles equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios. Ƈ Never ground the control unit to the vehicle’s steering column. Ƈ Make sure that all the switches and controls operate properly.

Ƈ Verify that the vehicle starts and idles properly. Ƈ Make sure that all safety equipment is installed:

the Valet Button, the Hood Switch and the warning label

Started

…

Ƈ When wiring in parallel, make sure to isolate

each connection with a diode in order to avoid feedback and possible damage.

Examples: Wiring a clutch bypass and a Transponder Module to the Ground Out when Running wire: At the junction point, where Ground Out

when running “splits” and goes to each device, a diode is inserted on each of those lines.

Multiple or Separate Door pin Connections:

When joining all door pins together to the Door pin input wire of the Module, each wire must be isolated with a diode to prevent feedback. N.B.: The above examples reflect common situations where diodes are use to isolate. Please note that there are numerous other scenarios where diode isolation is required.

Ƈ Always make sure that any external relays

or modules added to the Remote Starter Module are properly fused, and diode isolated.

Ƈ When testing the Shock Sensor, never test

on glass with an opened hand, and never hit glass hard enough as to break it. When testing on Metal or plastic, make sure the testing does not result in damage to the vehicle (i.e.: dents, broken glass, damaged trims, etc.).

Ƈ Vehicles equipped with daytime running

lights may not allow the installer to view certain programming results since the daytime running lights do no go out (Note: The Parking Light output relay in the Module gives two “clicks” per flash, 1 click for ON and 1 click for OFF).

Ƈ Parking Light flashes referred to in this

manual refer to the Parking Light output of the Module and not that of the vehicle.

Harness Description

When connecting the Module, it is important to make sure the connector with the Ground wire is connected first before making the 12-volt connections. Should the unit be powered before being grounded, there could be serious damage to internal components of the unit. Be careful not to power up a Module before it is properly grounded. To avoid any accident, it is a recommended to pull out the fuses from their sockets before the installation, and to put them back during the very last steps.

5-Pin Secondary Harness

Wire Description

This wire must be connected to bare, unpainted metal (the Chassis or true Body ground). It is preferable to use a factory ground bolt rather than a selftapping screw. Screws tend to get loose or rusted over time and can

cause erratic problems.

This wire tells the Module if the Engine is running or not. It requires at least

1.8 volts (AC) and 1.5 Hz (or faster) at idle. Common Tach references are: the negative side of an injector, the negative side of an Ignition Coil, Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor or the Engine Control Module (ECM).

NOTE: A Tach signal that is too low will cause the Module to “over crank” and a Tach signal that is too high will cause the Module to

This wire must be connected to the Brake Light switch of the vehicle. The wire should be +12 V only while the Brake Pedal is pressed. This input will shut down the Remote Starter if the Brake Pedal is pressed. It is also used for programming and therefore it is essential that it is installed.

This wire provides a +12 V output (15 A max.) and must be connected to the Parking Light wire that tests +12 V when the Parking lights are

Note: Ensure that the voltage does not vary when the dimmer control switch is turned up or down. If this is the case, it is not the right wire.

There is also a negative Parking Light output. Only one of these two different outputs needs to be connected.
