This system is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combination
Keyless Entry/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be
installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury
and property damage.

Vehicle MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input, and an Automatic Transmission.

INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting
location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin
main wiring harness.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the
module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around
or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen
location using cable ties or screws as necessary.

Note: Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
HOOD PIN SWITCH:

The pin switch included in this package is intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle. In all cases,
the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated (hood open), it
will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the hood switch is required for the
safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the
remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This switch must be installed in all
applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. Mount the switch in
a location away from water drain paths. If necessary, an optional bracket may be used to move the switch
away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must
be set up to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed and fully
extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check
behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well
socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin
switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.

THE PUSH-BUTTON/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:

The Spread Sprectrum Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the
dash board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle
for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles
utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the
antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape pro­vided. After securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed
support. This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to
extreme heat which may loosen its gummed surface. Route the 4 pin and two 2 pin connectors toward the
control module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control
module.

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS
INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE.
AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE
BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS:
Note: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be used and located

as close as possible to the power source for adequate protection of the vehicle.

FUSED RED w/ WHITE TRACE WIRE: +12 volt Battery 1 Source

Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all
positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red w/White wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire pro­vides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.

FUSED RED WIRE: +12 Volt Battery 2 Source
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all

positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power
for the start relay and the accessory relay.

IMPORTANT!

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLING TECHNICIAN TO DETERMINE THE LOAD FACTOR OF
THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND TO ADEQUATELY FUSE
THE TWO POWER WIRES BASED ON THAT LOAD. IF THE VEHICLE, RUNNING UNDER LOAD WITH
THE AIR CONDITIONER, HEATER BLOWER MOTOR, AND ACCESSORIES EXCEEDS 24 AMPS CON­TINUOUS, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO FUSES BE USED IN COMBINATION ON EACH POWER WIRE
AS SHOWN BELOW. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SEE TECH UPDATE ISSUED 9/30/96.

YELLOW 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 cannot 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 Yellow wire will be
made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts when
the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other ignition
switch positions.

Note: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the electrical

neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay, (when
used) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram.
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.

BLUE WIRE: Ignition 1 Output

Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the
ignition key is turned to the to the "ON" or "RUN" and the "START" or CRANK" positions and will have 0 volts
when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions.
For Diesel Applications, this wire must be connected to the ignition circuit that powers the glow plugs if the
vehicle requires glow plug pre-heating.

GREEN WIRE: Ignition 2 Output
Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the

ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or CRANK" position.
This wire will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions.

Note: See programming information concerning this wire to allow output during the "START" mode.
VIOLET WIRE: Accessory Output

Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the
ignition switch is turned to the "ACCESSORY" or "ON" and "RUN" positions and will show 0 volts when the
key is turned to the "OFF" and "START" or "CRANK" positions.

WIRING THE 4 PIN ALTERNATE IGNITION HARNESS:
ORANGE/BLACK WIRE: Parking Brake Input

This wire is used only when the turbo timer mode, Bank 3, feature # 16 is selected ON. This input insures that
the vehicle parking brake is applied whenever the vehicle is set up for and the turbo timer circuit is used. This
input must switch to ground when the vehicle's parking brake is applied. Connect the Orange/Black wire to
the negative output of the vehicle's parking brake switch.

RED/BLACK WIRE: +12 Volts Input
Note: The Red/Black and Pink are dry contacts and may be used for negative switching when necessary.

Connecting the Red/Black to chassis ground will result in Pink being ground when the R/S is activated.
This input is to be connected to a separate (other than the wire Red or Red/White is connected to), constant

on +12 volt source which will supply +12 volt power to the additional ignition output, (Pink), wire. Connect this
wire to a separate +12 volt source.

PINK WIRE: Additional Ignition Output
This wire can be used as an additional +12 volt ignition output supplied by the Red/Black wire. This output can

be selected to be on or off during the start cycle. (See feature bank 3 selection # 8.) Connect this wire to the
third ignition circuit in the vehicle and set the selectable feature # 8 of Bank 3 according to the way in which
the vehicle's ignition switch operates.

Note: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be used and located as

close as possible to the power source for adequate protection of the vehicle.
