Installation overview
Be sure to read this section thoroughly and view the Do-It-Yourself Installation DVD video that came with your
system in its entirety before starting the installation. Pay special attention to all warnings to prevent personal
injury or damage to your vehicle.
Register at www.readyremote.com to gain access to our vehicle database where you can get specific installation information for your vehicle. If needed, additional hardware to support the features you want, is identified.
Ensure you have or can borrow items listed in the Tools required section of this guide.
If you find that this installation is too difficult to perform, please visit the Professional Installer Network section of the www.readyremote.com web site or visit www.proinstall.com to contact one of our 7,000 autho-
rized retailers to have the product professionally installed.
• Verify that the transmission is set to park and that the parking brake is set before beginning installation.
• On vehicles with air bags or supplemental restraint systems (SRS) you may notice a bright yellow tube
with small wires in it, marked SRS, underneath the steering column near the key cylinder. DO NOT tam-
per or unplug these for any reason to prevent costly damages to your vehicle or personal injury. Tamper-
ing may cause unintended deployment of airbags.
• This system is intended for automatic, fuel-injected vehicles only. Installation in any other vehicle is con-
trary to its intended use.
Warning!

Factory alarm disarm
LIGHT GREEN BLACK (-) 200mA FACTORY ALARM DISARM
H1/1
Since many newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm, it is necessary to disarm it when unlocking
the doors or during remote start. Do not mistake a factory alarm with an immobilizer system. They each
require different disarm operations.
Locate the factory alarm disarm wire following instructions available on www.readyremote.com. Once
the suspect wire is located, place the multi-meter's red lead to a (+)12 volt constant source and secure it.
Put the multi-meter in the DC position. Then probe the suspect wire with the black lead of your meter. While
probing the wire, place the key in the driver's door cylinder. Turn it to the unlock position and hold it when
testing for the disarm wire. The multimeter should read 12V and will go back to 0V when the key is released.
When the correct wire has been found, solder the LIGHT GREEN/BLACK wire of the 9-pin harness to the
wire that you determined to be the factory alarm disarm wire. After this wire has been connected, wrap the
connection with electrical tape.
Some vehicles use a (+) trigger factory alarm system. Use the website resource to determine if your vehicle has
a (+) trigger. If your vehicle has such a system, call 1-800-477-1382 for live technical assistance,
as special wiring and an additional relay is required.
GREEN/WHITE (-) 200mA FACTORY ALARM REARM
H1/2
This wire sends a negative pulse every time the remote start shuts down or the doors are locked. This can be
used to pulse the arm wire of the vehicle’s factory anti-theft device.
EMPTY NOT USED
H1/3
WHITE/BLUE (-) ACTIVATION INPUT
H1/4
This wire allows you to activate the Ready Remote via a pre-existing alarm or keyless-entry system. Two (-)
pulses to this wire will activate remote start.

Ground wire
BLACK GROUND
H1/8
The BLACK wire connects to the pin next to the light flash jumper fuse. First strip back a ¾-inch section of the
insulation off the BLACK wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire. Locate a clean, paint-free
metal surface in the drivers kick panel (DO NOT GROUND ON DASH). Using a self-tapping screw, drill the
screw with the ring terminal to the kick panel. Once screwed down, pull on the wire to ensure a good connection.
Parking light flash
WHITE (+/-) LIGHT FLASH OUTPUT
H1/9
There are several different types of parking light circuits. The following description is for a standard positivetriggered parking light circuit only. If the web vehicle information suggests a (-) parking light circuit, the fuse
jumper (on the side of the module) must be moved to the opposite position.
Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected wire. Connect the black multimeter lead to
ground in the kick panel. Probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your meter. With the switch in the off
position the multimeter should read 0 volts. While watching the multimeter, turn your headlight switch to the
parking light position. The multimeter should read 12 volts.
While testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer light control up and down. The voltage should NOT
vary. If the voltage does vary, then this is the wrong wire. Continue probing to find the correct wire.
Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the small ORANGE wire of the 6-pin harness to it and wrap
the connection with electrical tape. If your light circuit tests the opposite position, you most likely have a (-)
parking light circuit.
