PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

BEFORE BEGINNING, check all vehicle manufacturer cautions and warnings regarding electrical service (AIR BAGS, ABS

BRAKES, ENGINE / BODY COMPUTER AND BATTERY).
PLAN OUT YOUR INSTALLATION and determine most suitable locations for all components to be placed. These components

include: the module itself, valet/program button, possible relays, and antenna/receiver (LC-1, LC-3, LC-4 and LC-7 only, the LC­00 model does not include antenna or remotes.) Allow enough wire to create a service loop with strain relief, should servicing be
required. This will also allow easier access and mounting.

DAMAGE to the CoolStart unit resulting from incorrect installation or failure to follow guidelines stated in this book will not be
covered under warranty and will be subject to repair or replacement charges.

USE A VOLT OHM METER to test and locate all connections. Test Lights can damage a vehicle’s computer systems.
ADDITIONAL PARTS, which are not included with this unit, may be needed for your particular vehicle. These items may include

extra relays or Anti-Theft System Bypass modules.

INSTALLATION CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

DO NOT extend the Remote start ignition harness length. Mount the module so that main harness reaches all ignition

switch wiring. Extending these wires could result in poor or improper performance.
DO NOT route any wiring that may become entangled with brake, gas pedals, steering column or any other moving parts

in the vehicle.
DO NOT exceed the rated output current of any circuit on the Remote start module. Failure to observe this warning will

result in damage to the unit not covered under warranty.
DO NOT remote start the vehicle in a closed garage! Make sure that the garage door is open or there is adequate

ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon Monoxide fumes.

WIRING 6 Pin Power Plug

RED: 12 Volt Power Source 10 Amp

Connect to a constant power source at battery or fuse box when powering the Pink and Pink/white wire. The ignition
switch on many new vehicles have only a 2 or 3 amp power wire so this can not be used. Not necessary to connect
when using a Data Module with a “T” harness plug. The data plug can supply 1 amp to operate the electronics.

BLACK: MAIN SYSTEM GROUND

Connect to chassis metal of the vehicle. An existing bolt or screw may provide an adequate ground, or drill a small hole,
scrape away paint and attach using a sheet metal screw & star washer. This wire must be connected to a proper ground
or undesirable and inconsistent operation will occur. Do not use Factory ground locations.

PINK/WHITE: Programmable Option #4

This is an optional multi-function output wire the can be configured as a Second IGN, ACC or STARTER output. Use
Option #4 to select ACC, IGN or STARTER. The DEFAULT setting is IGNITION.

PINK: Ignition Input/Output 10 Amp Max

This is the ignition source for programming system. This also supplies 12 volts out during Ignition and Start for remote
starting vehicle. Some data modules supply this function so may not be necessary to connect. Consult installation
guide of data module

WIRING – Parking Lights

The Parking Light circuit can be connected up as a high current positive or negative trigger. Connect to vehicle
parking light circuit at the back of light switch or if this is not possible, connect directly to one of the parking lights at
the front of the vehicle. If your vehicle has a multiplex lighting system, that will require a resistor connected in series
with the white wire to the light switch. Use the Negative parking light circuit for Multiplex resistor lights.

WIRING Low Current 12 Pin Plug

YELLOW BLACK OUTPUT: Ground Out when Running (-) 500 milliamp

The Ground Out when Running is required by some bypass modules. This wire turns on when the remote start button is
pressed and stays on through the duration of the remote start.

BROWN: (-) AUX OUTPUT (Trunk POP or Dome Light Illumination)

This output is programmable for 2 modes of operation. See Programming Option #9 Section.

1. 30 second Dome Light output.

2. Momentary ½ second output (Default).

Note: Some vehicles like Lexus and Toyota require a 2 to 3 second output for the Trunk Pop to operate.
Option 6-3 (Push and Hold), Allows output to stay on until Transmitter button is released.

GRAY: (-) NEGATIVE HOOD PIN SWITCH

Connect the Gray wire to a switch that is at ground when the hood is open. If an existing switch is not available, then we
recommend one to be installed. When this wire is grounded, the remote start is inhibited. The unit will not attempt to start
if hood is open.

ORANGE / WHITE (-) ACC, IGN or AUX 2 OUTPUT (Programmable option 24)
This output is selectable (-) Accessory, (-) Ignition or (-) AUX 2. Default = (-) ACC

BLUE/ORANGE (-) STARTER OUTPUT: Some vehicle require a (-) Start Activation for “Push to Start”.

ORANGE BLACK: (-) OEM DISARM OUTPUT

This wire provides a Ground pulse to disarm the vehicles' Factory anti-theft system prior to a Remote Start. Connect this
wire to the vehicles' anti-theft disarm wire. This wire is sometimes found coming off the Driver's door key switch or at the
Factory Anti-theft control module. This wire may not be needed if Factory Security only requires a door unlock pulse.

ORANGE: (-) OEM REARM OUTPUT or AUX 2 Output (programmable option 25)

This wire is programmable as OEM Rearm or 2nd Aux output. This wire provides a ground pulse to rearm the vehicles'
FACTORY anti-theft system after a timed-out or aborted remote start. Connect this wire to the vehicles' anti-theft rearm
wire or to the door pin circuit depending on your requirements. This wire may be needed to pulse the door pin circuit on
vehicles with retained accessory power.

YELLOW: (-) HORN CHIRP HONK OUTPUT (Programmable 15, 20 or 40 milliseconds, Option 16)

Connect to the LOW CURRENT Negative Horn Trigger wire usually located near the steering column. If the vehicle horn
circuit requires 12V, then a relay is required. RELAY WIRING: Connect the Yellow wire to terminal #85, connect relay
terminals #86 and #87 to 12V constant power. Connect terminal #30 to the 12V positive Horn activation wire.

PINK: NEGATIVE GLOW PLUG (Programmable for fixed time delay, Option 19)

Connect Pink wire to indicator circuit that shows a (-) Signal while the WAIT TO START LAMP is on. When this wire is
used, the system will wait until light turns off before attempting a remote start.
Note: Used for Manual Transmission Door Trigger Input, Option 11

WIRING Low Current 12 Pin Plug

WIRING Low Current 12 Pin Plug

RED WHITE: TACHOMETER INPUT

When installing the system in Tach mode, this wire must be connected to a valid source of AC voltage. This wire allows
the unit to sense the engine running and control the starter motor.

PURPLE: (12V) BRAKE RESET

Connect the Purple wire to the side of brake pedal switch that shows 12 volts ONLY when pedal is depressed. This is the
wire that turns off the remote start once the driver’s key is in the Ignition and turned to the ON position.

GREEN (-) START ACTIVATION INPUT or OEM INTERFACE (3 Pulse Start)

Option 17-1 OEM Interface (3 Pulse Start):

This mode allows the system to Remote Start or Stop with 3 successive Lock pulses. There are 2 Modes of operation.

1. Remote Start thru data (green wire not connected). This feature only works on newer CANBUS vehicle using a
Data Module that supports this feature. With this option you can use both the OEM and Crimestopper remote.

2. Connect the Green input wire to the Negative lock signal wire of the factory system. If your Factory OEM system

Option 17-2 Default (-) Neg. Start Activation:
This wire allows an alarm or keyless entry system with a remote Aux channel to activate the Remote Start by sending a
(-) momentary pulse to the Green input wire. This triggers a remote engine start or stop

does not have this type of signal, then a relay is required.

WIRING LED and Valet Switch

PROGRAM OVERRIDE SWITCH: 2 PIN PLUG (REQUIRED FOR PROGRAMMING & LEARNING REMOTES)

This is a multi-function switch used for programming options, transmitters, valet mode.

POWER DOOR LOCK WIRING CONNECTOR

BLUE: (-) Negative pulse for UNLOCK
RED: 12V When using external relays (TERM 86)
GREEN: (-) Negative pulse for LOCK

DETERMINING DOOR LOCK TYPE: We recommend
determining the type of locking system the vehicle has before
connecting any wires. Incorrect connection may result in
damage to the alarm and/or vehicle locking system. Door lock
information is provided as a guide. Your vehicle may differ.

Negative Trigger (-): Many Imports; Late model Ford & General Motors

Negative trigger door lock systems send a Negative (Ground) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the
vehicle doors.

Positive Trigger (+): Many General Motors; Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth

Positive trigger door lock systems send a Positive (12V) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the vehicle
doors.

Reverse Polarity: Many Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth and early 90’s GM Trucks

Reverse Polarity systems use no relays, but instead the door lock/unlock motors are controlled directly from the lock
and unlock switches in the door. The lock and unlock wires rest at Negative Ground when not in use. When the lock
or unlock button is pressed, one of the circuits is “Lifted” and replaced with +12V causing a lock or unlock to occur.

Single Wire (Dual Voltage): Late model Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Vehicles, some 2000 GM

Dual Voltage systems have lock/unlock switches that send varying levels of Positive voltage OR Negative ground
current to the SAME wire for both lock and unlock. When the vehicle’s Body Computer Module (BCM) or door lock
module senses different voltages on this wire, the system will either lock or unlock. Single wire door lock systems
require relays and resistors.

Databus and Canbus Systems (Data Module Required)

Databus systems send low current “Data messages” to the door lock controllers on a network in order to lock and unlock
the vehicle. To install aftermarket systems in these vehicles, an interface module is required that converts the regular
lock/unlock pulses into “Data messages” to allow locking & unlocking. Interface modules are sold separately.

Crimestopper Door Lock Accessories:
CS-6600DLM: Dual-relay plug-in module for Reverse

Polarity, Positive, or Aftermarket Motors.
CS-6500DLI: Plug-in pulse inverter that converts the
Negative outputs of the system to Positive type for Positive
Door Lock systems.
CS-610S1: Aftermarket door lock actuator (motor).
