VALET MODE (AS-1202 ONLY)
The AS-1202 system ONLY is equipped with an
electronic valet mode. The Electronic Valet
Switch works only with the ignition key turned
to the RUN position, so the vehicles key must be
present to place the system IN or OUT of Valet
mode.
In order to place the unit INTO valet mode
you must do the following:
1- Turn ignition key to the “ON” position
(Wait 3 sec)
2- With key ON, turn Valet switch to the “ON”
position. (Wait 3 sec)
3- Now L.E.D should be on solid
4- Turn ignition key OFF (system should now
be in valet)If L.E.D is not on constant than
repeat steps 1 to 4.

To get the system OUT of VALET mode you
must do the following:
1- Turn ignition key to the “ON” position (Wait 3
sec)
2- With key ON, turn Valet switch from the ON
position to the “OFF” position. (Wait 3 sec)
3- Now L.E.D should be off.
4- Turn ignition key OFF (system should now be
in valet)If L.E.D is not off than repeat steps 1
to 4.
TRANSMITTER CODE LEARNING
All Autostart transmitters do not come preprogrammed. 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 channel 1 on transmitter within 5
seconds of step 4. (lights will flash 5 times
fast, and 2 times slow)
6. Turn ignition off and close the hood.
MULTI CAR OPERATION (Only available
on 1203 & 1204)
*To program transmitter to second
vehicle for multi-car operation, you must
press on the transmitters channel 3(trunk)
in step 5 of transmitter code learning.
(See above for Transmitter code learning)
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.
4. Parking lights will stay on for up to 20
seconds (if not repeat from step 1)
5. With lights on press Channel 3 (Trunk)
of remote transmitter at the same time.
(lights will flash 1 to 7 times)
6. Start the vehicle using the key.
7. If lights stay on, then you have selected
an incorrect tach wire. (relocate tach
wire and start from step 1) If lights go
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 Channel 3 (Trunk) of remote
transmitter, to save setting. (Parking
lights will flash one long flash)
NOTE: A manual adjustment should only
be done if the auto setting is not
completing the crank cycle properly in
cold weather.
The AS-1203/04 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 AS1203/04.
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 vehic l e
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
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. Button 1 will decrease the setting, and
button 2 will increase the setting.
8. After proper setting has been reached,
push Channel 3 (Trunk) to save setting.
(parking lights should flash once long)
