BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Congratulations, you have purchased one of the most advanced remote starter systems ever made. Your new remote starter is a technological breakthrough utilizing the most advanced, state of the art technology and components. It is computer controlled and manufactured in the U.S.A. The dependability and variety of features make Bulldog Security the leader in the industry. Enjoy your new remote starter for years to come!

This remote system is designed to start your vehicle by sending a command signal from the remote transmitter or by programming automatic temperature or timed start. It is required that your installation is done in a well-ventilated area. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the remote system is not used to start the vehicle in an undesired location.

It is recommended that a carbon monoxide detector be installed in the living area near a location where the vehicle may be garaged.

Since there are many different makes and models of vehicles, look at the wiring chart on or our website, www.bulldogsecurity.com/wires.htm.

Read this manual thoroughly before starting the installation. You must also decide if any options are desired such as trunk release and dome light supervision. An optional relay will be needed for these options. Please do not skip any steps.

TACH/TACHLESS OPERATION

In most cases the decision to go with tachless mode will save time during the installation. If your vehicle is hard-starting then you should use tach mode.

MAKE SURE YOU PLACE THE WARNING STICKER UNDER THE HOOD.

PRECAUTIONS

This system is designed for vehicles with power door locks only.

This system will add remote keyless entry features to any vehicle with power door locks. This will also work as a replacement system for the factory installed keyless entry system.

DO NOT use mechanical wiring connections, such as crimp or snap together taps. Follow instructions on pages 2-3.

DO NOT disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio or is equipped with an airbag. Doing so may cause a warning light to be displayed and may require a trip to the dealer to be corrected.

DO NOT leave the interior or exterior lights on for an extended period of time as it may cause battery drain.

DO NOT mount the control module until all connections have been made and tested. Using wire ties or double sided tape, MOUNT THE MODULE UNDER THE DASH.

TESTING YOUR WIRES

When testing for a positive or negative voltage, you must use a computer friendly test light (logic probe) or a volt/ohm meter. Make sure to probe and test each wire before making your connections.

MAKING WIRING CONNECTIONS

1. Strip back two inches of insulation on the wire from the keyless entry.

Two Inches of Bare Wire

2. Strip back one inch of insulation on the wire you need to connect to.

One Inch of Bare Wire

3. Separate the vehicle wire as shown. Make the separation large enough to fit the other wire through.

4. Insert the wire from the unit through the hole as shown.

5. Wrap the wire around one side then the other and finally around itself as shown.

6.Use electrical tape to wrap. Be sure to cover the wire about two inches on either side of the connection. First pull the wire that you have just connected along side the wire you connected to, tape and wire tie them together. Use this method for all connections.

2.Twist upper wires together, twist lower wires together as shown.

3.Lay upper twisted pair of wires over right wire as shown. Bring lower twisted pair of wires up to meet the left wire as shown.
