Modes: Dealer Mode, Sleep Mode, Customer Mode
There are three modes to provide the utmost flexibility for expediters and new vehicle dealers:
1. Select a mounting area, but do not affix the control unit until wiring and testing is complete.
2. Plug in the receiver module. Do not fold or make sharp bends in the cable or antenna wire.
For maximum range, mount the receiver module away from the control unit and run the
antenna up the window pillar and affix it to the windshield about an inch from the roofline.
Ignition & Starter
1. Find the wire in the steering column or ignition switch wireloom that shows +12V throughout
BOTH the cranking AND engine running cycles, and 0 volts when the ignition is off.
2. Connect the WHITE/BROWN wire to the ignition line.
3. Find the wire that shows +12V during the cranking cycle ONLY.
4. Cut it and connect a WHITE/RED wire to each side of the cut wire.
LED & Valet Switch Assembly
1. Select an underdash area to mount the assembly where there is clearance for the screws
and will position the LED so it is visible through the windows.
2. Mate the assembly’s connector to the control unit connector of the same colors.
NOTE: The GRAY & BLACK wire 2-pin connector on the 10-pin connector is not
used on the Level FOUR.

Door Trigger/Interior Light Supply
The Level FOUR has self-programming door trigger polarity. Door triggers on most vehicles
are negative. To verify polarity:
1. Find the one wire off the rear of the door switch that shows +12 volts when the switch is
pressed in and 0 volts when released. This is a negative trigger door wire.
2. If you can’t find such a wire, find the one wire that shows 0 volts when the switch is
pressed in and +12 volts when released. This is a positive trigger door wire.
3. Connect the system’s thin GRAY wire to the door wire.
4. If the door trigger is negative, connect the BROWN/RED wire to ground wire; if positive,
connect it to +12V.
NOTE: The BROWN/WHITE Level
TWO harness wire is not used on
the Level FOUR installation.

Optional Trunk Trigger Connection
The switch may be located in or near the trunk latch or at the trunk light. Otherwise you
may install a pin switch in a location away from water channels.
1. Connect the GRAY/YELLOW wire to the negative-switching trunk pin switch.
Auxiliary A Output
The Auxiliary A output (GRAY/VIOLET wire) is activated by pressing the ✱ or Opt button
on the remote control. This output is preprogrammed to operate only when the system is
disarmed (e.g., for use as a remote trunk release). It can also be used as the secondary unlock
line if wiring the door locks for 2-stage unlocking (see the previous Door Locks section).
The factory setting is pulsed output (1 second ground). Interlock is on (operates only if the
system is disarmed and the ignition is off). Current is limited to 0.15 amp.
After power-up, see Installer-Programmable Features on page 10 to change the type of output
and/or turn the trunk interlock off or on.
Auxiliary B Output & Selectable AutoActivation
The Auxiliary B output (GRAY/BLUE wire) is activated by pressing the ✱+button
combination (or Opt+ LOCK button combination) on the remote control. This output can
be programmed as either pulsed, latched or timed, and can also be programmed to operate
only when the system is disarmed (e.g., for use as a remote trunk release).
The factory setting is pulsed output (1 second ground). Interlock is off (operates regardless of
system or ignition state). Current is limited to 0.15 amp.
You can also set this output to automatically activate every time the system is remotely armed
(perfect for vehicles with a window/sunroof all-close feature; see below). After power-up, see
Installer-Programmable Features on page 10 to change the type of output, set AutoActivation
and/or turn the interlock on or off.
European Vehicle Window/Sunroof All-Close
If turning and holding the door key closes the power windows/sunroof (a common feature on
European vehicles), you can make them close upon automatically remote arming:
1. Find the wire that shows +12V or ground when the key is held to lock in the door cylinder.
2. Tap a wire in to this wire and connect to terminal 30 of a relay.
3. If the wire shows ground when the key is turned, connect terminal 87 to ground; if +12V,
connect terminal 87 to 12V.
4. Connect the GRAY/BLUE wire to terminal 85.
5. Connect terminal 86 to +12V.
6. Set the Auxiliary B output to use the timer and to AutoActivate.
7. Set the Accessory Output Timer to 2 seconds longer than the total time it takes to close
all windows/sunroof.
You can make the following connections to provide remote timed headlight activation and/or
automatic timed post-parking illumination upon remote arming. Simply follow the steps
above using the wire that shows +12V or ground when the headlight switch is activated. If
you set the output to AutoActivate, the headlights will turn on and stay on for the
programmed duration every time the vehicle is armed.

cannot be reached from under the vehicle. Point downward to avoid water collection.
1. Firmly secure the siren to the engine bay firewall or a fender well.
2. Connect the YELLOW wire to the siren’s BLACK ground input.
3. Connect the siren’s RED wire to the system’s 5-amp pre-fused RED wire or directly to the
vehicle battery positive terminal via a separate 5-amp fuse.
4. After power-up, program the horn/siren output for siren (factory setting is for horn).
Final Wiring Connections
1. Attach the fuseholder of the RED wire to a constant +12V supply.
2. Connect the BLACK wire to a grounding bolt (clean to ensure a solid ground).
3. Insert the 5-amp fuse into the RED wire’s fuseholder.
4. Insert the 20-amp fuse into the RED/WHITE wire’s fuseholder.
NOTE: Power and test accessories after the basic system has been tested.
Individually fuse all accessory power and fuse panel connections.
MANDATORY MASTER REMOTE CONTROL ADDITION
After power-up, you MUST program the system to respond to the Master Remote Control
used by that dealership. To do so, get one of the master remotes used at that dealership (all

If either of these test fail, adjust the sensor using the adjustment knob and retest. Keep in
mind that the sensor does not come online until about 10 seconds after arming.
Step 11: Test range and optional accessories.
Testing range and optional accessories, such as trunk release or the IntelliStart 4 remote
engine starting accessory, will require temporary addition of a Customer Care Kit remote
control. When testing is complete, reprogram the master remote control into the system. This
clears out the codes of any Customer Care Kit remote controls and returns the system to
Dealer Mode.
To test range, stand 30 feet from the vehicle and use the remote control to arm and disarm.
