installation points to remember

■ Check with the customer on Status LED location.

■ Use seat and fender covers to protect the vehicle.

■ Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.

■ Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

■ Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid

disconnecting the battery if possible.

■ Remove necessary under-dash trim panels to provide access for mounting the system’s components.

IMPORTANT! Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this security system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems which can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights or logic probes. Test all circuits with a high-quality digital multi-meter before making the connections.

IMPORTANT! Many airbag systems display a diagnostic code through their warning light after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which can require a trip to the dealer.

■ Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner’s Guide is very helpful when testing.

■ When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC). This cir-

cuitry can bypass both instant trigger zones, making them appear not to work.

■ Carefully reassemble the under-dash trim panels.

■ Inspect the engine compartment for tools that may have been left behind.

before beginning the installation

tools required

This is a general list of tools required to complete the installation of this security system in most vehicles. Some

vehicles may require additional tools.

deciding on component locations

Some things to remember when mounting the siren:

■ Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all things

to avoid.

■ Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its

wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.

■ We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both the

red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices. Af-

ter all, both wires are the same length and are already bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal your

wires in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory.

■ When possible, put the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires will reach

the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of a grommet,

never through bare metal!

■ Point the siren down so that water does not collect in it.

■ Digital multi-meter

■ Wire cutters/strippers

■ Solderless terminal crimpers

■ Cordless power drill

■ Torx driver set

■ Nutdriver and/or socket set

■ Panel removal tool

■ Drill bit set

■ Phillips head screwdriver

■ Work light

■ Never put the control module in the engine compartment!

■ The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side underdash panel to access the starter and ignition

wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.

■ When locating the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the harness wires

(they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.

■ The higher the control module is mounted in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control

module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will suffer.

■ Some good control module locations: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the underdash fuse box, above

the radio, etc.

Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well

hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot

accidentally hit it. The switch fits in a

/32-inch hole.

IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switch is located and how to disarm the system with it.

Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:

■ It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.

■ It needs at least

/2-inch clearance to the rear.

■ It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling

your

/32-inch hole.

■ Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This allows mechanics or other installers

to remove the panel without cutting the wires.

If the optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the underdash panel,

they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory

wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,

routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

finding the wires you need

Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car that

the security system will be connected to.

IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light to find these wires! All testing described in this manual should be performed using a digital multimeter.

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to

the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection.

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the RED (H1/11) wire. It ensures that the control module has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power feed.

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers

the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).

Accessory wires, on the other hand, lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current avail-

able to the starter motor.

finding the 12V switched ignition wire

obtaining constant 12V

How to find (+)12V ignition with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering column harness or ignition switch harness

is an excellent place to find this wire.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it does

not read (+)12V, probe another wire.

5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than a

few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V,

you have found an ignition wire.

The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal

lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often avail-

able in the kick panel or running board.

How to find a (+) parking light flash wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually, the area near the headlight/parking light

switch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel.

4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the parking lights and make sure it goes back

to zero.

5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn the

brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the dimmer,

look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.

The best places to find the door pinswitch wire are:

■ At the pinswitch: When testing at the pinswitch, check the wire to ensure that it “sees” all the doors. Often,

the passenger switch will cover all the doors even if the driver’s switch will not.

■ At the domelight: This may not be your best choice if the vehicle has delayed domelight supervision, but it

will work in vehicles with completely diode-isolated pinswitches.

Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at

the windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the dome-

light itself is often the best solution.

How to find a door pinswitch trigger wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. In most cars, fasten the (+) probe of your meter to (+)12V constant.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door is opened

and the meter goes to zero with the door closed, you have located a trigger wire.

NOTE: Make sure the wire you use detects all the doors! Some newer vehicles lack standard-type pinswitches. The domelights in these vehicles are turned on when the door handle is lifted. These usually have a wire coming out of the door into the kick panel, which will provide a (-) trigger for all doors.

How to find the (+)12V starter wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering column is an excellent place to find this

wire. Remember you do not need to interrupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding your starter

kill relay and connections is always recommended.
