Installer Warnings!

This remote starter with alarm system is designed to be installed on fuel injected vehicles with an automatic transmission ONLY.

• Do not plug the 8-pin or 5-pin wire harness into the alarm control module before you begin installing the alarm. The wire harnesses must be plugged into the alarm control module after all connections are made. Failure to follow this procedure could cause some confusion with transmitter operation and or alarm function operation.

• Never install this remote starter on a manual transmission vehicle.

• This system must be installed and wired through a safety switch so it will not start in any forward or reverse gear.

• Some automatic transmission vehicles (mainly older GM vehicles with a purple starter wire) have a mechanical-type park safety switch instead of electrical safety switch. The mechanical type 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. Therefore, our system should never be installed on any vehicle that uses a mechanical type park safety switch.

• 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.

• Read operation manual for operating and programming routine.

• 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 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 car battery before connecting work on the vehicle.

• Use conventional crimp lock, bullet on any wiring. Poor wiring, i.e. taped joints will possibly introduce unreliability into the alarm system and may result in false alarms or incorrect operation.

• Install wiring neatly under carpets or behind trim to prevent possible damage to wires.

• For the wires that operate at currents more than 10A, we suggest soldering all connection points. Do not use crimp lock type connectors or wire nuts.

• The combination windshield receiver/antenna mounts on the windshield (inside vehicle).

• We suggest you mount the receiver/antenna on the lower left-hand side of the windshield.

Warning! Do not mount the Windshield Receiver/Antenna in such a manner that it obstructs the driver’s view.

• The receiver/antenna can be mounted vertical or horizontal.

• Remove the protective tape backing.

• Carefully align the receiver/antenna and apply to windshield.

• Route the black connecting cable behind the trim and connect to receiver/antenna.

• Connect the other end to the control module.

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 status indicator 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.

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 making the three connections below at the ignition switch harness directly.

Violet Wire: (Starter Output)

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.

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.

Wiring

White 6-Pin Heavy Gauge Wiring Connector (continued)

Violet Wire: (continued)

In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the “Violet” wire will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire must have +12 Volts when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” (crank) position only. This wire have 0 volts in all other ignition switch positions. Note: If a starter disable relay is installed, the connection of the violet wire must be at the starter side of the relay, not the ignition switch side.

Failure to connect this 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).

Red Wires (2): (+12 V Power Input)

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. It is recommended that these wires be connected to the 12V battery terminal.

Yellow Wire: (Ignition 1 Output)

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.

Pink Wire: (Ignition 2 Output)

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 is required on vehicles without a second ignition.

Brown Wire: (Accessory Output, Heater/ACC Output)

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.

One Wire Multiplexing Door Locking Systems

Some vehicles (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.

Black/White Wire: (-) Remote Start Enable Toggle Switch Input, (-) Neutral Safety Switch Input

When the Black/white wire is grounded, the remote start unit is operable. When this wire is open from ground, the remote start is disabled.

1. An optional “Remote Start Toggle Switch” can be added on to temporarily disable the Remote Start Device, it can prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the optional remote start enable toggle switch to the OFF position. To enable the remote start, move the optional remote start enable toggle switch to the ON position.

2. If needed, this wire can connect to the Park/Neutral switch in the vehicle (See testing in your installation guide).

Important Note: Directly connect the Black/White wire to the “Ground” when this wire is not used for it’s intended safety purpose or remote start will not operate.

White/Red Wire: (-) Tachometer Signal Connection

This input provides the remote start system with information about the engine’s revolutions per minute (RPM). It can be connected to the negative side of the coil in vehicle with conventional coils. In multi-coil and high energy ignition system locating a proper signal may be more difficult. Once connected, you must program the Start Feature Stage 2 to “Tachometer Checking Type" and teach the system the RPM signal (see Start Feature Stage 2 Programming). In multi-coil ignition system, the system can have individual coil wires. Individual coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. A common location for a tachometer wire is the ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers and automatic transmission computers.

Important! Do not test tachometer wires with a test light or logic probe. Electronic components of the ignition system will be damaged.

How to find a tachometer wire with a multi-meter:

1. Set the ACV or AC voltage *(12V or 20V is OK).

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

3. Start and run the vehicle.

4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter.

5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V

at idle, and will increase as engine RPM

increases.

Note: No connection of this wire is required if you use the voltage or timer checking type mode.

White/Violet Wire: Positive Safety Shut Down Input

This wire provides an instant shutdown for the remote start, whenever it gets +12 volts. If the brake lights switch in the vehicle switches +12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect this wire to the output side of the brake switch. This will allow the remote start to shut down if an attempt is made to operate the vehicle without the key while running under the control of the remote start. In most vehicles, in order to shift gear, the brake pedal must be depressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off.

Stage 2: Remote Start Operation Programming

In this mode you will program the type of engine starting detection you want to use in your installation. There are 3 types available:

1. Tachometer (RPM) Detection: (Most reliable and recommended) This type of detection requires a hard wire

connection to the vehicles ignition coil.

2. Voltage Detection: This method detects the drop and rise in the battery voltage when the vehicle is started

by remote. This type of detection requires a solid main power input connection but it does not require any additional hard wire connections.

3. Elapsed Timer: This method is the easiest for installation but is not always the best method for year round

usage (Summer and Winter). To operate this method, you will program a specific time window for the remote start unit to crank the engine. Battery strength, environment and the aging process of the vehicle may require the timer to reset from time to time or season to season.

Caution!

The following procedure must be performed after the installation of the Remote Start Device. It is the

responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the unit in the following manner may

result in personal injury, property damage or both.

1. Test the “Brake” Shutdown Circuit:

With the vehicle in Park (P), start the vehicle using the remote transmitter. Once the engine is running, press the brake pedal. The vehicle should shut down immediately. If the vehicle continues to run, check the brake circuit “White/Violet” wire.

2. Test the “Hood Pin” Shutdown Circuit:

Start the vehicle using the remote transmitter. Once the engine is running, pull the hood release and raise the hood. The vehicle should shut down immediately. If the vehicle continues to run, check the hood pin “White/Black” wire connection.

3. Neutral Start Safety Test:

A. Set the vehicle parking brake. B. Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement. C.

Sitting in the vehicle, turn the ignition switch to the “On” or “Run” position, but do not start the engine.

D. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into Drive (D).

E. Put you foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the brake to shut down the

Remote Start Device.

F. Start the vehicle using remote transmitter.

a. If the starter does not engage, the test is complete. b.

If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake pedal to shut down the system, recheck your “Violet” wire (White 6-Pin, Starter Output) connection. The heavy-gauge “Violet” wire must be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are working on does not have an Electrical Neutral Safety Switch, it will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote Start Wiring to accommodate this vehicle. The information concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch provided in this manual will help you to determine if the vehicle you are working on has this type of safety switch. It will also provide alternate wiring methods to accommodate this situation.

Key-In Sensor Circuits:

If the vehicle you are working on does not have or you cannot locate the ECM reference wire, there are two alternatives available. Although not preferred, the vehicle Key-In Sensor may be reconfigured to allow a margin of safety and will prevent the vehicle with a Mechanical Neutral Start Switch from starting in gear. We advise that you maintain the factory

circuit whenever possible. The following two circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available. Note: When completing an installation using either one of the following key-in sensor circuits methods, if the operator

inserts the ignition key while the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start, the vehicle will shut down. This must be explained to the operator as it is in contrast to the normal operation of the vehicle utilizing an electrical neutral start switch and is inconsistent with the user’s manual.

Method 1: Will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder. However, if the key is left in the ignition switch and the door is left opened, the added relay will be energized causing a 150mA drain on the battery.

Method 2: Will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicles from starting while in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder. However, the original factory key-in chime module will not alert the operator that the key has been left in the ignition switch. These methods should be

carefully considered before altering the vehicle's wiring and must be fully explained to the consumer.

Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch Considerations:

Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the same level of safety when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is in any position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the start position or be removed from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation while the vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of this potential problem, this installation requires the additional connection of a safety wire from the remote start device to the vehicle “Park/Neutral ECM” input or the vehicle key-in sensor. This connection will prevent remote start operation if the key if left in the ignition switch regardless of the gear selector position.

Park Neutral ECM Input:

The Park/Neutral ECM input is the preferred method of installation. This not only maintains the integrity of the factory circuit, it is also the easiest to install, providing the vehicle you are working on has this ECM input. The installation required for this application (shown below), indicates in the slight reconfiguration of the control switch wiring. Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral ECM input circuit. To connect the Remote Start unit to the GM Park/Neutral ECM input follow these steps:

Locate the Orange/Black reference wire in the “C2” connector found at the ECM is GM B Body vehicles or, locate the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are installing the Remote Start Unit in.

2. Connect the Black/White Neutral Safety Switch Wire from the Black 8-Pin Mini connector to this reference wire.

Note: If the optional remote start enable toggle switch is installed, connect the one side the enable switch to this reference wire and connect the other side of the enable switch to the “Black/White” Neutral Safety Switch Wire of the Remote Start unit. The diagram below shows a typical GM B Body ECM reference wire and how it is to be connected to the Remote Start Unit.
