Installation Basics CM6300
If you are new to installing Firstech Series Remote Starts and / or Alarms, we highly recommended that you
thoroughly review this manual to installing your first unit.
Key Points to Consider Before Installation:
You must code remotes to this system before anything will function. Program remotes by cycling the ignition
ON / OFF five times within seven seconds and tap button 1 (half second) on the first remote, and then tap
button 1 (half second) on the second remote.
RPS Touch (Touch Remote Paging Sensor):
The optional RPS that has four main functions; (1.) Status LED, (2.) Remote notification when triggered, (3.)
Auto unlock/alarm disarm when a user specific 4 digit knock code is entered via tapping sensor through the
windshield. (4.) You can also relock your vehicle if equipped with an RPS Touch sensor.
DAS Sensor:
The DAS sensor monitors forward movement for remote starting manual transmissions, dual stage impact,
and auto adjusting tilt sensor. See the DAS Sensor section of this manual for details.
Supports 4 Pin and 6 Pin Antennas
The CM6300 supports both Firstech 4 Pin and 6 Pin antennas. This will work with all new RF kits as well as
the current ones. Do not have antennas plugged into both ports on the CM6300 as the remotes will not
function properly.
Supports Blade
The CM6300 supports the Blade AL and TB systems as well as 2 way data for Idatalink and Fortin bypass
modules. The data port will also support full data connection with DroneMobile.
New Option Menus:
It is important to familiarize yourself with all the options as it will save time in most applications. For instance, Option 1-04 controls the double pulse unlock feature on all CM6 series control modules.
Programmable Output Channel (POC) Must have Option Programmer OP500
All control modules come with 9 programmable outputs that can be configured 19 different ways. It is
important to familiarize yourself with the POCs as it will save time in most applications. Note that the CM6300
POCs are defaulted to Aux 1-5 as shown in the Special Option Group Table 2.
Internet updatable processors Visit www.firstechonline.com
All CM6 series units are equipped with some of the most powerful processors available today. This flexibility
allows for on-demand internet updating capabilities in the event of a version update or change. All CM6
series control modules use the same version firmware.

Remote Programming Routine CM6300
IMPORTANT: Any and all remotes must be coded to the control module prior to performing any and all
operations.
STEP 1: Activate programming mode by manually turning the vehicle’s key between the Ign On and Off (or
the Acc & On positions) five times within 7 seconds. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once with the successful completion of this step. (Note: this step also places the control module into Valet Mode)
STEP 2: Within a 2 second period after the 5th ignition cycle tap Button I on two way remotes or the Lock
button on one-way remotes for 0.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the transmitter has
been coded. Repeat for additional remotes, up to three.
Exiting Programming: Programming is a timed sequence. After 2 seconds
the parking lights will flash twice signaling the end of programming mode.
Programming Multiple Remotes: After the confirmation flash given in STEP
2, code additional remotes by tapping Button I on two way remotes or
the Lock button on one way remotes. The parking lights will flash once
confirming each additional remote. All systems can recognize up to three
remotes.
Note: If you do not program any remotes and enter this
sequence it will put the system into Valet Mode. Only the
keyless entry will work in Valet Mode. To exit Valet Mode just program
remote(s).
Placement and Use of Components CM6300
IMPORTANT: The placement and use of components are critical to the performance of this system.
Antenna and Cable
Firstech antennas are calibrated for horizontal installation at the top of the windshield. The cable that
connects the antenna to the control module must be free from any pinches or kinks. Installing the antenna in
areas other than the windshield may adversely affect the effective transmitting distance of the remotes.
