• 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.

• All wires that operate at currents higher than 10A should be soldered to insure a long lasting connection.

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

• For dealer technical assistance, please call (800) 638-3600 or visit www.magnadyne.com

HC1: White 6-Pin High Current Remote Starter Harness

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 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).

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.

HC1: White 6-Pin High Current Remote Starter Harness (continued)

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 the 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.

By default, the Brown wire is the negative (-) output connection for the horn. Current capacity is 200mA. Make the connection to the horn relay trigger wire. Typically, this wire can be found at the steering column near the ignition switch. Some vehicle horn systems may be (-) trigger and a relay will need to be added for proper operation as shown. Option: (-) Factory Alarm Re-Arm Output (See “Alarm Feature Programming” to change this function) Connect this wire to the existing vehicle’s alarm ARM trigger wire.

The “Red” wire supplies power to the system. Connect this wire to a constant +12 volt source.

One Wire Multiplexing Door Locking Systems

Some vehicle’s use one wire to lock and unlock the doors. Some require 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 the ALA-DL1 door lock module and replace with correct resistor value fuses that matches the vehicles door lock switch system.

Wiring:

1. Connect both the green (lock) and the blue (unlock) wires to the vehicles one wire lock/unlock wire.

2. Connect the 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.

Page 11

HC4: White 9-Pin Accessory Harness (continued)

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 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. Common locations for a tachometer wire are the ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers. Note: This wire requires programming (See “Remote Start Feature Programming” for the proper programming procedure).

Important! Do not test tachometer wires with a test light or logic probe. Electronic components of the ignition system will be damaged. You must us a Digital Multi-meter.

Note: If you use the voltage or timer checking method for remote start detection, this wire does not need to be

connected.

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

1. Set the meter to read ACV or AC voltage (12 or 20V).

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

3. Start the vehicle’s engine.

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

If the probed wire is the correct wire, the meter will read between 1V and 6V at idle and will increase with RPM.

The Black/White wire is a safety input wire. The remote start unit will not activate unless this wire is grounded. When this wire is disconnected from ground, the remote start system is disabled.

1. The primary connection point for the Black/White wire is at the Neutral Safety Switch located on/at the transmission

shifting lever. The switch output must be GROUNDED when the shifter lever is in the PARK position.

2. The second best connection point for the Black/White wire is at the Parking Brake Switch output wire. Make

sure that when the parking brake is engaged that the output wire of the switch is grounded.

3. An optional remote start toggle switch can be added 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.

Note: When the Black/White wire is not used for it’s intended safety purpose, connect the Black/White wire to the “Ground” or remote start system will not function.

Brown Wire: Positive Brake Safety Shut Down Input

This wire provides instant shutdown for the remote start, when it receives +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. A relay may be required if the brake light switch is (-) type.

The Gray wire provides instant shutdown for the remote start when it is grounded. Connect the Gray wire to an existing hood pin switch or install the one provided in this kit. This wire must be routed through a grommet in the firewall and connected to the hood pin switch. If the hood pin switch is also to be used as an alarm system trigger, diodes are required as shown.

Important! This connection is a safety wire and must be connected as shown and tested as specified. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.

Note: The Gray wire can also be used as the “Brake Safety” connection if the vehicle brake light circuit switches a ground signal to the brake lights. An isolation diode must be used and connected to the output of the brake switch.

Dome Light Control Output :

This wire becomes grounded when the system is unlocked. The current capacity of this wire is 200mA. This wire can control the operation of the interior lights. Use of optional relay as shown is recommended. Upon unlocking, the interior lights will remain on for 30 seconds.

Ground Output During Crank Option: (See “Alarm Feature Programming”):

This wire can be used to control another device as needed when the remote start is cranking the engine. This wire will supply a constant ground while the engine is cranking.

Driver’s Door Priority 2nd Unlock Output:

By default the Light Blue wire provides a second (-) unlock output to unlock the passenger’s doors. Follow the diagrams on pages 8-10 for proper connection.

Factory Security Disarm Output:

The Light Blue wire can be programmed to provide a (-) pulse output every time the X6 is unlocked. This connection can be used to disarm the vehicles factory security system at the same time the X6 is unlocked. See Alarm Feature Programming (Group 1), page 18.

Start Status Output:

The Light Blue wire can be programmed to provide a constant (-) output during the time that the vehicles engine is running under the control of the X6. In this configuration, the Light Blue wire can be used as sensor bypass control. Connect a relay to the sensor power wire and use the Light Blue wire to trigger the relay. See Alarm Feature Programming (Group 1), page 18.

Some newer vehicles use a third ignition wire which is required to start and keep the vehicle’s engine running. The Pink wire provides a 200mA (-) ground output that becomes active 4 seconds before the remote start unit initializes. This wire remains grounded while the engine is running. This is a low current output wire and will require a 30a/40a relay (not supplied) for correct operation. Wire the relay as shown. Note: This wire can an also be used to control an ignition immobilizer bypass module.

Enter the crank detection programming mode, select the engine checking type, then follow the procedures to test and re-set the cranking parameters as needed.

Note: The default detection setting is “Voltage Detection”. Once your wiring is completed, you can press the

button (2) times and start the engine to make sure all your connections are good to this point.

With the ignition switch in the OFF position, turn the ignition switch On - Off - On - Off - On Off.

Before 15 seconds has passed, push and release the valet switch 10 times holding the button down on the 10th press. Wait until you hear 5 short chirps/beeps + 1 long chirp/beep. Release the button. You are now in “Engine Crank Detection Programming” mode.

Engine Crank Detection Programming

Use the transmitter buttons as illustrated to adjust the features required. Keep re-pressing the transmitter button that relates to the feature you want to adjust until the correct amount of chirp/beeps is heard. Move on to the next feature.

In this programming group you will set 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 wire

connection to the vehicles ignition coil. You must also “teach” the remote start unit the engine idle RPM level before you can start the engine by remote

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 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 “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 (6-Pin White, 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 Starts Wiring to accommodate this vehicle. The information concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch provided below will help you to determine if the vehicle you are working on has this type of safety switch and will provide alternate wiring methods to accommodate this situation.
