ITEMS SUPPLIED WITH
THE SYSTEM :
• Main unit
• 3-button, LCD remote transmitter
• Plug In LED

Before you begin the installation:
• Verify that the vehicle is equipped with
electronic fuel injection.
• Verify that the vehicle is equipped with an
automatic transmission.
• Verify that the vehicle starts and idles
properly before you start the installation.
• Always use a multi-meter when verifying
vehicle wiring.
Remote Start Installation Notes:
The system senses the vehicle’s successful start
using one of the following methods:
1. Current sense
2. Tachometer sense
3. Spark or Coil Wire sense
If the Current Sense feature of the system does
not allow proper operation, the tachometer
sense/spark sense wire may be used, or an
optional vacuum switch can be installed.
To use the tach sense/spark sense wire, set dip
switch #4 to the off position. Connect the gray
wire directly to the vehicle’s tach wire or extend
it into the engine compartment and wrap it
several times around a spark plug or coil wire.
In situations were a tach wire is unavailable or
does not allow proper operation, an optional
vacuum switch can be installed. The vacuum
switch is designed to be placed in line with one of
the vehicle’s vacuum hoses and provide a ground
output (N/C) until the engine is started. To use
the vacuum switch, set dip switch #2 to the off
position. Connect the yellow wire (3-pin red
connector) to one terminal of the vacuum switch
and connect the other terminal to ground.
High-Current Wire Connections:
• RED WIRE #1 -Main power input; using the
supplied inline fuse holder, connect directly to
the vehicle’s battery or alternate power source
with a minimum 30 Amp supply.
• RED WIRE #2 - Secondary power input; using
the supplied inline fuse holder, connect directly
to the vehicle’s battery or alternate power
source with a minimum 30 Amp supply.
Note: If not connecting directly to the vehicle’s
battery, it is recommended to use separate
power sources (minimum 30 Amp each) for each
red power wire.
• BROWN WIRE - Second ignition output;
connect to the wire that switches +12V and
does not drop out during cranking.
• YELLOW WIRE - Main ignition output;
connect to the main ignition wire that switches
+12 V and does not drop out during cranking.
• ORANGE WIRE - Main accessory output;
This provides +12V output to heater and/or air
conditioning system. Some cars may have more
than one accessory wire. In these vehicles add a
relay(s) to power the extra accessory wire(s).
• PURPLE WIRE - Starter output; connect to
the vehicle’s starter wire.
Main Harness:
• WHITE WIRE - Parking light output (+).
Connect to the wire that switches to +12V
when the parking lights are turned on. If the
vehicle’s parking light circuit exceeds 10 amps a
relay is required. For vehicle’s with independent
left and right parking light circuits, the parking
2
light wires must be connected using diodes to
keep the circuits separate.
• RED WIRE - +12V battery input.
• BROWN WIRE - Siren wire output (+).
Connect to the siren’s red wire. Connect the
siren’s black wire to ground.
• BLACK WIRE - Ground input (-). Connect to
a solid chassis ground that is clean and free of
paint or dirt.
• ORANGE WIRE - Armed Output and
Ground When Running Output (-). Connect to
a relay for starter defeat and starter anti-grind
protection. (See installation diagrams). The
ORANGE wire functions as a dual-purpose wire.
It provides a ground when the unit is armed to
activate a starter disable relay (using a starter
disable relay also provides starter anti-grind
protection). It also provides a ground when the
remote start is engaged to activate an optional
factory security bypass module. When the Stopand-Go mode is engaged, the output will turn on
and remain active even after pressing the brake
pedal. Although the remote start shuts down
when the brake pedal is pressed, the output will
remain on until the ignition key is turned off.
• GRAY WIRE - Tach/Spark sense wire. If the
current sensing feature does not allow desired
operation, connect the GRAY wire directly to
the vehicle’s tach wire or negative fuel injector
wire, and set dip switch #4 to OFF. If the tach
wire is not accessible, wrap the GRAY wire
around a spark plug wire or coil wire several
times and secure with electrical tape.
• GREEN WIRE - Negative door trigger (-).
Connect to the door switch circuit wire that
shows ground when the door is open.
• BLUE WIRE - Hood switch input wire (-).
Connect this wire to the hood pin switch, this
will prevent the vehicle from remote starting if
the hood is opened. This is a safety input and
must be connected on all installations.
• VIOLET WIRE - Positive door trigger (+).
Connect to the door switch circuit wire that
shows +12V when the door is open. This type
of door circuit is usually found on Ford vehicles.
• YELLOW WIRE - Brake switch input wire.
Connect this wire to the brake switch wire that
provides +12V when the brake pedal is pressed.
This is a safety input and must be connected
on all installations.
Plug in Connectors:
3-Pin White Door Lock Connector: Plug-in
connector port for door lock harness or
optional door lock relay module (PDLM-3).
• BLUE WIRE - negative unlock output (-).
• RED WIRE - constant +12V low current
output (+) for relay modules, or inverters.
100mA relay trigger only. Do NO
power source for door lock relays.
• GREEN WIRE - negative lock output (-).
3-Pin Red Connector: Plug-in connector port
for optional features harness.
• GREEN/BLACK WIRE - Pin 13 on K9 Module.
Connect to a relay for optional trunk release etc.
2-Pin Red Connector: Plug-in connector port
for LED. Mount LED in an area where it may be
easily seen from either side of the vehicle.
2-Pin Blue Connector: Plug-in connector port
for program/service switch. Mount program
