OEM alarm control. Make sure the module is able to arm and disarm the oem alarm (if applicable).
Door pin shutdown circuit. Make sure the system exits ready mode when each door is opened while the vehicle is
running under a remote start. (Test each door.)
Door locks and trunk testing. Make sure each of these options respond to the transmitter (if installed).
Starter kill option. Sit inside the vehicle with all doors closed. Arm the vehicle, then try to start the engine with the key.
The engine should not start. If the engine starts, rewire the starter kill to reach proper operation.
Valet mode. Make sure the remote car starter is able to properly enter and exit valet mode. When setting the remote car
starter into valet mode, pressing the lock button will lock the doors without activating the starter kill. (Refer to the user
guide for further information on valet mode.)
Idle mode. Make sure the vehicle properly enters and exits idle mode.
Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs. Take the time to
properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the premises. Doing this will save
time and money.

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. Thi s unit must be installed by a cert ified technician using a ll safety devices supplie d. Please
note that this guide has been written for properly trained Autostart technicians: a certain level of skills and knowledge is therefore
assumed. Please review the installation gui de carefully before beginning any work.
Warning
Before installing the unit, if installing on a vehicle with a manual transmission, test that the OEM Door Switch contacts of the vehicle work
well, and that the Parking Brake system operates properly. If installing on a vehicle with an automatic transmission, test that the vehicle
does not start when the gearshift lever is in the “Drive” position. If it starts in gear, reset the remote starter to manual transmission.

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 of the unit will
be necessary before those changes become effective.
To install this unit in a vehicle with a manual transmission:
1. Make sure the Yellow loop on the PC board is connected.
2. Connect the Orange handbrake wire located on the 12-pin harness to the vehicle handbrake switch.
3. Connect the Blue/White (+) door input OR
vehicle door pin wire, which monitors all the doors of the vehicle (only use 1 of the 2 door trigger inputs).
4. Make sure the Purple TACH wire is plugged in – the purple TACH wire MUST be hooked up when the module is
set for a manual transmission.
5. Make all your regular connections.
6. 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.
7. When learning the transmitter, the parking lights will flash 5 times quickly.
8. Upon the first successful remote start, the system will lock the transmission settings to manual mode.
To install this unit in a vehicle with an automatic transmission:
1. Cut the loop on the pc board (Yellow wire).
2. Make sure the Orange handbrake wire is not
3. Make all the regular connections.
4. Power up the unit. The parking lights will flash 4 times.
5. When learning the transmitter, the parking lights will flash 5 times quickly then give 2 slow flashes.

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. T he
relay output rating on this unit is 25a at most. Defective oem solenoid switches can sometimes draw up to 50 or 60a, causing
the 30a 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
1. Ensure that all the doors, hood and trunk are closed. Make sure that the gear selector is in the neutral position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the
parking brake once and release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. of engaging the parking brake,
press and hold , or on the
transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and
remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will continue running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood and trunk.
6. Press for approx. 1 second either:
x to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
x to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
x to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
7. The parking lights will flash twice to confirm ready mode activation.
The system will exit ready mode if a door or the hood is opened, if the brake pedal is pre ssed, if the parking brake is
disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
Remote-start the engine and listen for starter drag. If the starter cranks for too long, carry out another tach
programming procedure.
Hood switch shutdown. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, open the hood; the vehicle should shut
down. If it does not shut down, check the hood pin-switch and its connector.
Brakes shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, press and release the brake pedal.
The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues to run, check the brake switch connection.
Parking brake shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under remote start, disengage the parking brake. The
engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues to run, check the parking brake switch connection.

brake twice within 10sec.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and

Virtual Tach System
* Virtual Tach System combines the latest microcontroller technology and a complex algorithm that took years to develop.
VTS is able to effectively monitor the engine starting sequence and release the starter at the right time without physically
connecting the tach wire to the remote starter. The VTS constantly monitors the data and readjusts itself automatically in order
to maximize its capability to start the engine properly in any weather or deteriorat ing battery condition (automatic transmission
only).

Fifth Relay Output (2nd IGN, ACC or CRANK)
Remote car starters of this series are equipped with an on-board
high-current programmable 5
second ignition, accessory or crank wire. The unit uses 3 sets of
pins; each set corresponds to a specific function of the output. In
order to activate one of the three possible functions, you must place
the jumper (supplied) on one of the three sets of pins and connect
the 14 AWG wire to the second IGN. / ACC. / CRANK wire of the
