• Due to the complexity of this system, installation must only be performed by a qualified professional installer.
This remote start and alarm system is NOT a “Do It Yourself” product.
• This remote starter and alarm system is designed to be installed on fuel injected gasoline or diesel vehicles with
an automatic transmission ONLY. Installation of this system on a vehicle with a manual transmission (Stick
Shift) is dangerous and is contrary to it’s intended use.
• This system must be installed and wired through a safety switch so it will not start the engine while in any
forward or reverse gear. This is normally accomplished by connecting the systems provided safety wire to the
vehicles electronic Neutral Safety switch located on the transmission shifter.
• Some automatic transmission vehicles may have a mechanical type park safety lock system instead of electrical
safety switch. This mechanical type system does not interrupt the starter circuit when the transmission is any
gear and does not offer the 100% level of safety required for remote starting purposes. The next best safety
connection point on this type of vehicle would be the vehicle parking brake switch. This requires the user to set
the parking brake prior to activating the remote starting system.
• Once you install this system, you must verify that the vehicle will not start in any forward or reverse gear.
Regardless of the type of vehicle.
• Do not install any component near the brake, gas pedal or steering linkage.
• Some vehicles have a factory installed transponder immobilizer system that can severely complicate the
installation. There is a possibility that this system can not be installed on some immobilizer equipped vehicles.
• Most vehicles have an SRS air bag system. Use extreme care and do not probe any wires of the SRS system.
Disconnect the vehicle (+) or (-) battery cable before installing this system on the vehicle.
• Use conventional crimp lock type connectors on all low current wiring connections. Poor wiring, i.e. taped joints,
will introduce unreliability into the remote start and alarm system and may result in false alarms, incorrect or
failed operation.

Windshield Receiver/Antenna
• The combination windshield receiver/antenna mounts on the windshield (inside).
• We suggest you mount it on the lower left-hand side of the windshield.
Warning! Do not mount in such a manner that it obstructs the driver’s view.
• The receiver/antenna whip can be vertical or horizontal.
1. Remove the protective tape backing.
2. Carefully align the receiver/antenna and apply to windshield.
3. Route the black connecting cable behind the trim and connect to
receiver/antenna.
4. Connect the other end to the control module.
Dual-Zone Shock Sensor
Select a mounting location within the passenger's compartment or trunk. Do not mount in the engine
compartment or in any location where it will get wet, greasy or will be subject to heat, direct or indirect. To
achieve the best overall level of protection, select a mounting location that is centrally located in the vehicle. It
will be necessary for the shock sensor to be somewhat accessible to make the correct sensitivity adjustment.
The mounting surface should be as flat as possible for best sensitivity. The sensor can be mounted in any
position as long as it is solidly mounted.
Valet Switch
Select a mounting location for the switch that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle. The switch does
not have to be concealed, however, concealing the switch is always recommended, as this provides an even
higher level of security to the vehicle. Mount the valet switch in a hidden but accessible location. Route the valet
switch wires to the control module.
LED Status Indicator
The LED indicator status should be mounted in a highly visible area. Leave at least 6mm of space behind the
mounting location for LED housing. Once a suitable location is chosen, drill a 1/4" hole. Run the LED wires
through the hole then press the 2-pin LED housing into the place. Route the LED wires to the control module.
Mount the antenna horizontally
for best reception.

The method that the remote starter uses to start the vehicle is a duplicate of the ignition switch
function. Below, is an explanation of the 3 basic functions of the ignition switch. Since this
installation will require analysis of the ignition switch functions, it is recommended that you
make the three connections below at the ignition switch harness directly.
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from starting while in
gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow you to
properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method. In addition you will realize why the
connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical switch configurations.
WARNING! Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage.
In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and assure that
the vehicle can not start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the “Violet” wire will be
made to the “Starter Side” of the low current start solenoid wire at the ignition switch. This wire must have +12
volts when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” (crank) position only. Cut the starter wire and connect
the Violet wire to the Starter Side of the cut wire. DO NOT connect the Violet wire to the starter side of a
mechanical neutral safety switch. Failure to connect the Violet wire to the ignition switch side of the neutral
safety switch can result in personal injury and property damage (see Neutral Start Safety Test for further
details).

HC1: White 6-Pin High Current Remote Starter Harness (continued)
Remove the two 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the harness has been
plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay harness will
energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Connection to 12V battery terminal recommended.
Connect the Yellow wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. The ignition wire should receive
+12 volts when the ignition key is in the “ON” or “RUN” and “START” or “CRANK” position. When the ignition is
turned “OFF”, the ignition wire should receive “0” voltage. The yellow wire must be connected.
Some vehicles have 2 ignition wires that must be powered. Connect the “Pink” wire to the ignition 2 wire from
the ignition switch. No connection required on vehicles without second ignition.
Connect the Brown wire to the accessory wire that powers the climate control system. An accessory wire will
show +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the “ACCESSORY” or “ON” and “RUN” positions, it will
show 0 volts when the key is turned to the “OFF” and “START” or “CRANK” position. There will often be more
than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory wire will power the vehicle’s climate
control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the blower motor and the air conditioning
compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the second accessory wire.
HC2: White 5-Pin Power Harness
The Red/White wire has already been assembled to work with a +12 volt switched parking light system (most
vehicles). For vehicles with ground switched parking light activation cut this wire and connect it to ground.
Connect the White wire to the parking light wire coming from the headlight switch. Do not connect the White
wire to the dashboard lighting dimmer switch (damage to the dimmer will result). The limitation of the White
wire is 10 amp maximum. Do not exceed this limit or damage to the alarm and parking relay will result.
This is main ground connection of the alarm module. Make this connection to a solid section of the vehicle
chassis. Do not connect this wire to any existing ground wires supplied by the factory wire loom, make the
connection to the vehicle’s chassis directly.

One Wire Multiplexing Door Locking Systems
Some vehicle’s (Chrysler, Mazda and Ford Probe and others) use one wire to lock and unlock the doors.
Example: When the door lock controller sees a signal thru a resistor it will unlock. If a signal is received
without a resistor the doors will lock. Some use 2 resistors. One for lock and one for unlock. We have
developed patented plug-in fuse resistors for this application. Simply remove the fuse from our door lock
module and replace with correct resistor value fuses that matches the vehicles door lock switch.
Wiring:
1. Connect both the green (lock) and the blue (unlock) wires to the vehicles one wire lock/unlock wire.
2. Connect our violet polarity input wire to +12v or to ground. To match vehicles door lock polarity.
3. The white and the brown wires will not be used.
