On cars with airbags, you may notice bright yellow tubes or
harnesses marked SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) underneath the steering column area. DO NOT tamper with these
wires in any way, to prevent personal injury and/or damage to
the air bag system.
On GM rear-wheel drive vehicles built prior to 1995 and Dodge
Dakota trucks built prior to 1996, see the last page of this
instruction manual.
Battery gases are explosive.
Do not smoke while working near the car’s battery.

during installation. This is fine, but it must be removed before running the
vehicle under remote starter control.
When running the wires through the car’s firewall, be sure to
protect them from sharp metal edges and from hot surfaces on
and around the engine.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before You Start
Please read through the entire installation manual before beginning.
Always leave a window open to avoid locking your keys in your car.
IMPORTANT:
by putting the yellow WARNING STICKER in the engine compartment.
Choose a surface that is clean and readily visible when the hood is
open.
After having read the entire manual, start the installation
This car is equipped with a remote control starting device.
Ce véhicule est équipé d’un systéme de démarrage a distance. Mettez-le
hors fonction avant d’eflectuer toute opération d’entretien ou de réparation!
WARNING
Disable before working on car!
AVERTISSEMENT
Note:
Failure to properly install the fuse holder and 30 amp fuse to the
pink wire to the battery voids all product warranties.
Ignition Key Diagram for Steps 4-7
The vehicle’s wires are found coming off of the
key switch. Remove the panel under the steering
column to access these wires.
4. Blue Wire (14 AWG) - Ignition 1
Connect the BLUE wire to the ignition 1 wire of your vehicle. This wire will
measure +12 Volts on the test meter in the “run” and
“start” position, and is
off in the “lock/off” and “accessory” positions.
5. Green (14 AWG) - Ignition 2
Connect the GREEN wire to the Ignition 2 wire in the vehicle. The Ignition 2
wire can function in several different ways in your vehicle. It is important to
understand how it works. The Ignition 2 wire will usually measure +12 Volts
in the “run” position and is off (ground) in the “lock/off” and “accessory”
positions. In certain vehicles, it may also show +12 Volts in the “Start”
position or Ignition 2 may turn OFF during “Crank” and turn back ON after
the starter disengages. Carefully note the function of the Ignition 2 wire. If
the Ignition 2 turns OFF during “Crank”, see Changing Ignition 2 Function in
section 24. If Ignition 2 stays ON during “Crank,” no options need to be
changed. Please refer to our wire color information available at
www.designtech-intl.com
6. White Wire (14 AWG) - Accessory
Connect the WHITE wire to the accessory wire which is +12 Volts in the “run”
and “accessory” position, but off in the “start” and “off” positions. In most GM
vehicles, connect the white wire to the orange wire that is hot in “run” only.
7. Yellow (14 AWG) – Starter
Connect the
YELLOW wire to the starter wire. This wire will measure +12
Volts on the test meter in the “start” position only.
Note:
Most Nissan vehicles have two starter wires. Connect both starter
wires of the vehicle to the
YELLOW start wire of the remote starter.
POWER & IGNITION HARNESS
The remote starter module will be installed under the dash once all wiring
has been completed. Do not mount the module at this time! You will
need to check the red diagnostic LED light as the installation
progresses.
GREEN wires of the Control Harness and the PINK wire of the
Harness into the engine compartment. The remaining short wires stay in
the passenger area. Leave about a foot of the wire harness under the dash
for ease of working and visual access to the diagnostic light.
The Installation Information section of our web site www.designtechintl.com is available 24 hours/day to provide you with free, up-to-date
vehicle wiring information for your particular vehicle.
Note: Always connect the
of the other wires. Do not insert the fuse until step 11.
2. Black Wire (16 AWG) - Ground
Connect the BLACK
kick panel area. Use the small ring terminal. (The thin metal bracing
around or beneath the dash board is not always adequate.)
3. Pink Wire (12 AWG) - Power (+12 Volts)
Connect the ring terminal at the end of the short PINK
terminal of the battery. Run the long pink wire through the firewall of your
vehicle. Join the remaining ends of the power wire together by soldering
them. Tape with electrical tape to leave no exposed wires. Alternatively,
you may wish to use the yellow butt connector, but we recommend soldering. Wait to insert the 30 amp green fuse into the holder until step 11.
v5.3 (40027)
Locate (or drill) a hole in the firewall to run the PURPLE and
Power

and
Black
wires before connecting any
wire to a very good, clean chassis ground in the driver’s
wire to the +12 Volt
8. Dash-mount LED-On/0ff Control Switch
Connection of the LED-On/0ff Control Switch is mandatory. Do not let the
switch wires touch ground. Mount the control switch so that it is easily seen
and accessible. If a hole is to be drilled to route the switch wire, make sure
there is enough clearance behind and nothing can be damaged by the drill.
Use a 1/4" drill-bit for the mounting hole. Plug the switch connector into the
module just to the right of the control harness. The LED will turn Red when
the switch is turned ON and the LED will turn Green when the switch is
turned OFF.

(ALL WIRES ARE THE SMALLER 18 AWG SIZE)
9. Purple Wire - Hood Pin Switch - Control Harness
The hood pin switch MUST be installed with the remote starter. It
prevents operation of the remote starter when the hood is open and is used
to initialize and program the unit. Connect the PURPLE wire to the hood pin
switch using the red connector.
Note:
If you already have a hood pin switch
which is being used by a car alarm system,
you may share the wiring – but be sure to
diode isolate each wire going to the hood

How to share a hood pin
10. Orange Wire - Brake Shut-off - Control Harness
Connect the ORANGE wire to the brake wire which receives +12 Volts when
the brake pedal is depressed. This wire must be connected. It arms a
critical safety feature which disables the remote starter when the brake
pedal is depressed.
Note:
In some cars, the ignition must be in the “on” position to test the
power in the brake wire.
Note:
If the Ignition 1 & Ignition 2 wires come on whenever the brake is
depressed and the hood is open this just means you need to initialize
the unit in step 11.
11. Initializing the Remote Starter
BEFORE THE UNIT WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU MUST
INITIALIZE THE REMOTE STARTER
A. Insert the fuse into the pink fuse holder on the pink power wire.
B. The remote starter requires the installer to open the hood and then
press and hold the brake pedal. Note: The ignition/dash lights will
come on if the unit is not initialized.
C. While depressing the brake (with the engine off and the hood open)
turn the ignition key to the “RUN” (not “start”) position.
D. Put the car in “DRIVE” from the “PARK” position.
E. Put the car back in “PARK” and release the brake.
F. Turn the key off and remove the key.

K. Push the Control Switch push button so the LED is showing RED.
L. Push the start button on the transmitter, vehicle should cleanly start
and remain running.
Note:
Confirm initialization by looking at the control switch/LED. If the
control switch/LED is Green, the unit is initialized. Push the control switch
once, LED turn Red. Unit is ready to try to remotely start.
If the unit is not initialized, control switch/LED is Off. The dash lights will
come on (the remote starter powers up the ignition wires) when the brake is
depressed or the hood is open, and the control/valet switch is on. REPEAT
STEPS A THROUGH G. See the colored Trouble Shooting Sheets if necessary.
12A. Green Wire - Tach Input - Control Harness
The Remote Starter has two ways of monitoring the car during the starting
process. Both ways will ensure a clean, accurate start. Read about both
methods before deciding which one to use. Normally you should try the “No
Tach™” method first.
“No Tach™” Starting (recommended for most vehicles)
This starting method does not require the connection of the GREEN tach wire.
This method will start the car by reading the car’s voltage before attempting to
start, and then looking for a voltage increase when the alternator kicks in.
This feature automatically takes into account voltage, temperature, and the
””
”
””
™™
time since the vehicle was last run. The “No-Tach
™
starting is preset at the
™™
factory and you can skip step 12B if you would like to use it. Note that if the
vehicle is hard to start, set option #3 [Setting Program Features section (step
23)] for “extended crank.”
Tachometer sensing
If the vehicle is generally hard to start (i.e. requiring a cranking time of more
than 1 second) you will get more accurate starting with the tachometer
sensing starting method. This method starts the car by reading the engine
speed (tach) information from a wire under the hood. If you choose tachometer sensing, connect the GREEN (18 awg) wire to the car’s tach wire under
the hood (normally the negative side of the coil or tach output of coil pack).
After you have connected the GREEN wire, you need to teach the remote
starter the vehicle’s tach rate at idle. Proceed to step 12B.
13. Gray/Black Wire - Alarm Input - Control Harness
This wire will accept any negative alarm input, including door inputs, shock
sensors, radar sensors, etc..
Any sensor that supplies a negative or ground output when activated is
acceptable. If multiple sensors are to be used, the inputs must be diode
isolated.
If you are using a sensor or input that switches to (+) when triggered, you
will need to reverse the polarity with a relay before connecting to this GRAY/
BLACK input wire (Ford door switches for example).
If you have a POSITIVE DOOR TRIGGER (Most Fords) a relay will be needed
to reverse the polarity. Connect the relay as follows:
1. Pin 85 of the relay to DOOR PIN SWITCH (Positive Trigger)
2. Pin 86 of the relay to GROUND
3. Pin 87 of the relay to GROUND
4 Pin 30 of the relay to Gray/Black on the AutoCommand
The alarm feature is “last door arming” and “Negative going trigger”.
If you choose not to use this alarm feature, set Option #4 "No Alarm"If you choose not to use this alarm feature, set Option #4 "No Alarm"
If you choose not to use this alarm feature, set Option #4 "No Alarm"
If you choose not to use this alarm feature, set Option #4 "No Alarm"If you choose not to use this alarm feature, set Option #4 "No Alarm"
(section 23)(section 23)
(section 23)
(section 23)(section 23)
OPTIONAL STEPS
14. Yellow Wire - Headlights/Parking Lights - Seperate Tab Connector
Connection of the YELLOW wire allows you to activate the low beam headlights or parking lights for remote start and lock status. After the remote
starter has started the car, the lights will remain on until the remote starter
shuts off after 10 minutes, or when the brake pedal is pushed, or when the
car is put into gear.
This is a relay +12 Volts output. Connect the
wire to the wire that has power when the lights are on.

15. Blue - Horn/Siren - Control Harness
The BLUE wire signals the horn to honk
(or siren to chirp) once each time the
Positive Horn/Siren Relay
remote starter starts the vehicle and
each time the locks are locked or unlocked. Connect the blue wire to the
factory horn wire which is often found
running down the steering column. It
will normally show +12 Volts at rest and
the voltage will disappear when the horn is honked. This is a 400 mA transistor
ground output which MUST drive a relay if using a siren or positively triggered horn.
19. Green/White - Trunk Release - Control Harness
The GREEN/WHITE
wire is the Trunk Release output which gives out a
transistor ground output when the unlock button is held for 4 seconds.
Again, this is a 400 mA transistor ground output which MUST drive a
relay (not included).

16. Brown/White - Alarm Disable - Control Harness
The BROWN/WHITE wire is Alarm Disable, which will give out a quick
negative pulse just before unlocking the doors or starting the vehicle.
This wire can be used to turn off the factory alarm system in vehicles
which have them. In most vehicles, this wire is located in the driver’s
kick panel.
17. White/Black Wire - Ignition #3 - Control Harness
The WHITE/BLACK
wire, is a ground output that acts just like the Ignition 1

(necessary for most Ford vehicles).
This is the wire that can also be used to bypass a passive anti-theft system
by hooking it up to the Universal Alarm Bypass Module. See the Factory
Anti-Theft System Section at the end of the instructions.
18. Keyless Entry Wires-White/Red-Yellow/Red-Control Harness
The wires function as follows:
White/Red Negative Trigger – Unlock Positive Trigger – Lock
Yellow/Red Negative Trigger – Lock Positive Trigger – Unlock
Determine the polarity of your door lock system by using a test meter. For
NEGATIVE locks (the lock wire sees a ground signal briefly as the electric
locks are locked) – connect the Red/Black wire to the Unlock wire and the
Red/White wire to the Lock wire.
For POSITIVE locks (the lock wire sees a +12 volt signal briefly as the
electric locks are locked but does not see ground when they are inactive)
connect the White/Red wire to the Lock wire and the Yellow/Red wire to the
Unlock wire.
For REVERSING POLARITY (the lock wires sees a +12 volt signal briefly as
the electric locks are locked and sees a ground signal when they are
inactive) follow the diagram below:
REQUIRED FINAL STEPS
You must have hooked up all required wires and completed Initialization (Step 11) to proceed forward.
20. Trying the Unit Out
WARNING: Be prepared to apply the brake during this testing.
A. Close the hood and fully apply the emergency brake
B. Place the vehicle in Park.
C. Push the On/Off switch once – the red LED will turn on solid Red.
D. Once all the wiring is checked and is correct, press the Start button on
the transmitter.
E. The car should start and continue to run for ten minutes. Make sure that
the engine shuts down if the car is shifted out of park, the hood is
opened, the brake is pressed or the start button is pushed again. If the
car does not start, see Special Cases or Code Learning section under
Special Cases.
21. The Antenna
Feed the antenna around under the dash and up the inside of the right or left
windshield post and over the top of the windshield. Clean the windshield
with the rubbing alcohol pad, wait to dry. Slip the rubber antenna into the
hard plastic antenna clip. Remove the backing from the double sided tape
and mount the antenna behind the rear view mirror. The more exposed the
antenna is, the better the range and performance. Now plug the end of the
antenna into the remote starter module. In some vehicles you will get
better range performance if the antenna is pointing vertically downward from the top of the windshield.
THE WIRING SECTION OF THE INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE. Be
sure to cap all unused wires so as to prevent short circuits, and
mount the module securely under the dash. When tying up and
mounting the unit, be sure to avoid any moving parts (steering
column, pedals) and sharp edges.
22. Trouble Shooting with the Self Diagnostics
The remote starter contains a built in diagnostic routine that will indicate
why the unit started or why the unit turned off the car the last time that the
unit was used.
To activate the diagnostic mode for why it turned off, simply turn the On/Off
control switch to the “OFF” position, the LED will turn Green. In a few
seconds, the Green LED on the switch will flash 1 to 12 times to identify the
problem. See the chart below for an explanation of the flashes:
v5.3 (40027)
1 flash 10/15 minute time out. Unit should be fine. Make sure the
transmitter is working properly.
2 flashes Unit turned off because Brake or Hood was activated. Check
to make sure the hood pin switch is depressed when the hood
is closed and the correct brake wire is hooked up.
3 flashes No Tach or Stalled. Review Step 12 and make sure the no
tach/tach wire option is programmed correctly.

4 flashes Received another remote input from the transmitter (remote
pressed before unit completed its cycle).
5 flashes Transmission was shifted into gear. Move the In-Gear switch
inside the receiver module to the OFF position (see diagram
below for location of In-Gear switch inside module case).
transmitter is pushed. This is used when the first unlock pulse disarm the
factory alarm and the second pulse is used to unlock the doors.
Option #7 “Enable” Feature No “Enable”
This option cancels the “enable” mode safety feature. The “enable”
mode requires that the driver push the control switch “OFF” and then
“ON” again each time the driver removes the key from the ignition in
order to “enable” the vehicle for remote starter control. The switch
light will shine red when ready. This feature guards against undesired
starting of the vehicle by remote control.
You must keep this option as
"Enable" on all GM rear wheel drive and Dodge Dakota vehicles
manufactured prior to 1996.
Option #8 Normal Daytime Running Lights
This option will turn the headlights on about 10 seconds after it sees the
ignition turn on and will turn the lights off when the ignition is turned off.
Programming An Option:
6 flashes Low battery voltage, or may be missing an ignition wire which
powers up the alternator
7 flashes Alarm was triggered while remotely running.
8 flashes Over current - One of the 400 mA (-) transistor outputs (Lock,
unlock, horn, lights, trunk, or Ignition #3) of the control harness is driving too much current. Make sure to use a relay
where necessary.
12 flashes The Control Switch was turned off while the starter was run-
ning.
23. Setting Program Features:
The remote starter unit has many special features available. You will not need
to use these special features in most situations. The factory settings will
operate most vehicles.
Feature # Factory Setting (Green LED) Option (Red LED)
1 “No-Tach” Tach Mode
2 10 Min. Run Time 15 Min. Run Time
3 Normal Crank Extended Crank
4 Alarm No Alarm
5 Normal Ignore Voltage Meter
6 Single Pulse Door Unlock Double Pulse Door Unlock
7 “Enable” feature No “Enable”
8 Normal Daytime Running Lights
Option #1 No-Tach Tach Mode
This option sets the starting method. The factory setting uses “No-Tach”
starting. If you wish to use the tach to start, follow the instructions in the
Tach Rate Learning section (step 12B).
Option #2 10 Min. Run Time 15 Min. Run Time
This option gives you a choice of run times.
Option #3 Normal Crank Extended Crank
This option will add 50% more crank time to the NoTach™ starting feature.
Option #4 Alarm No Alarm
This option will disable the alarm features. Program is option if the alarm
will not be used.
Option #5 Normal Ignore Voltage Meter
This option allows the minum battery voltage to drop to 11 for remote starting. This option is helpful when dealing with a vehicle with a poor charging
system.
Option #6 Single Pulse Door Unlock Double Pulse Door Unlock
This option will unlock the door twice each time the unlock button on the

If you want the factory setting, DO NOTHING and skip this section. If you
want to change one or more of the features, then continue with the following
procedures:
1. Open the hood.
2. Turn the ignition ON (do not start the vehicle).
3. Press and HOLD the brake pedal.
4. Quickly press and release the programming button once.
5. Release the brake pedal.
6. The control LED will flash Red 1 time (signaling that you are now in the
Option Programming mode).
7. The LED color reflects the first option (Green LED is for Factory setting,
Red LED is for Optional setting). Pressing the brake pedal advances to
the next option. By continuing to push the brake pedal, the user will
advance through all of the options and then start back at Option #1
again.
8. After pushing the brake pedal, the LED flashes Red (the # of the option)
before turning Red or Green, reflecting the state of the option (Green for
factory setting, Red for Optional setting). Push the programming button
to change from the factory setting to the option setting and vice versa.
9. If no options are selected or changed after 6 seconds the unit will
automatically exit programming.
10. Push the control switch so the LED is Red, the unit is now ready.
11. Turn off the ignition.
24. Changing Ignition 2 Function
Many newer vehicles turn off the Ignition 2 wire while the starter is cranking. In these vehicles it is very important to have the remote starter copy the
starting sequence of the key exactly; otherwise the vehicle's computer may
show a fault code or not allow the vehicle to start at all. For most GM
vehicles, you do not need to change this option.
To turn the thick GREEN Ignition 2 (IGN 2) wire off during crank:
1. Unplug all wires and connections from the remote start module.
2. Open the case of the remote start receiver module.
3. Find the IGN 2 switch as shown in the diagram on the following page.
Of the 2 switches shown, The IGN 2 switch is the switch closest to the
center of the circuit board as shown in the diagram.
4. Move the IGN 2 switch to the OFF position.
5. Close the case and plug in all of the wire connectors.
The remote start module will turn OFF Ignition 2 while the starter is cranking.

SPECIAL CASES
1) How to Use a Relay
Many of the optional steps require a relay to be hooked up. The most common
relay used for this type application is the Bosch type relay (Radio Shack Cat.#
275-226). Use the following diagram for a typical hookup. If you have another
relay then you need to know that pins 85 and 86 in this diagram relate to the coils
of the relay. Pin 30 is the ‘common’, and pin 87 is the ‘normally open’ contact.
If your relay has a pin 87A in the middle it is the normally closed contact and is
only used for lock/unlock situations. (The diagram is typical for an Ignition 3 or
trunk application).

2) Code Learning
Your transmitter is factory coded to the remote starter module with over
16,000,000 different codes. The remote starter module can learn the codes
of up to 4 different transmitters. If you want to add additional transmitters to
the receiver or if it does not respond to your transmitter - follow the steps
below to teach the receiver the transmitter code(s):
A. Open Hood.
..
B
. Turn the ignition ON (do not start the vehicle).
..
C. Press and HOLD brake pedal.
D. Quickly push and release Programming button twice.
E. Release the brake.
F. The LED will glow solid Orange.
G. Hold down the LIGHTS button on the transmitter for a second until you
hear the horn honk (or just look for the orange LED to go out for half a
second). The module has now learned the transmitter code. Release
the transmitter button.
H. To learn additional transmitters (up to 3 more), within a few seconds,
push the LIGHTS button on another transmitter for a second or more
until you hear the horn honk (or see the orange LED go out for half a
second). Repeat for the remaining transmitters.
I. 5 seconds after the last time the transmitter was learned the unit exits
the code-learning stage. (The Red LED light will turn on solid when
unit exits Code learning).
..
J
. Turn the ignition ON (do not start the vehicle).
..
Note:
Teaching the module a new transmitter code will erase all pre-
vious codes - so all transmitters must be taught. You have only 5
seconds between transmitters to begin teaching a new transmitter.

3) Factory Anti-Theft Systems
Many vehicles come with an anti-theft system that must be temporarily
bypassed for the vehicle to be remotely started. Some systems use a resistor in the key. Others use a transponder - a small device in the key that
communicates a high security code to the vehicle before the vehicle will
successfully start.
Check the list of vehicles and the types of security systems on the right. If
your vehicle is listed, your vehicle has an Anti-Theft System that the remote
starter MUST temporarily bypass in order to start the vehicle.
The Universal Alarm Bypass Module, sold under part numbers #20402 or
#29402 will temporarily bypass a factory anti-theft system when using the
remote starter. Check with your local retailer/installer to purchase this
Universal Alarm Bypass Module.
Vehicle-specific anti-theft bypass and door lock modules are also available for many vehicles. Many vehicle-specific bypass modules eliminate
the need for a spare ignition key to bypass transponder anti-theft systems.
Please see your local dealer.
