This Remote Start is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this sys-
tem is a sophisticated device with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with
manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage!
INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE: PART # 1365401
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. The
module will be secured after all wiring is completed which will allow complete access until the job is done.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
HOOD PIN SWITCH: PART # 1363699
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.
THE PUSH-BUTTONPROGRAM SWITCH/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: PART # 1181258
The Superheterodyne Transceiver 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.

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 congurations.
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 ensure
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 congurations, 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 conguration, 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 of the neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and property damage.

WIRING CONNECTIONS: 20 Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness PART # 1124298
1 Green w/ White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output
This wire provides a 30 second ground output, (300 mA Max.), whenever the remote is used to disarm
the alarm or to unlock the doors. It also provides a continuous pulsed output whenever the alarm is
triggered. This wire should be connected to an external relay and wired to the vehicles interior entry
lighting circuit whenever the optional Entry Interior Illumination feature is desired.
2 LT. Blue Wire: Ground Output While Running (-) 300mA
This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 1.5 seconds before the Remote Start
Unit initializes and remains grounded while running plus an additional 2 seconds after the Remote
Start Unit turns off. In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required.
The Light Blue wire can be used to accommodate the following situations:
A. Sensor By Pass:
If there is a Non Plug in Sensor used with the alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote
Start activation period, then vibration or noise from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger.
In this case, connect the Light Blue Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay. Connect terminal # 85
of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source. Cut the sensor's trigger wire and connect one end
of the cut wire to terminal #30 and the other end of the cut wire to terminal #87a. Just before the
Remote Start unit is activated, the relay contacts will open, preventing the sensor's operation until
the Remote Start unit shuts off.
B. Additional Ignition Output:
Some vehicle's may require more than three ignition outputs to start and keep the vehicle's engine
running. If this is the case, connect the Light Blue wire to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect
terminal # 85 to a fused + 12 volt source. Dependent on the vehicle's requirement, connect terminal
#30, to a fused + 12 volt source, or to ground, and connect terminal 87 to the vehicle to supply the
additional ignition source.
C. GM VATS Key Override:
If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to bypass the system while
the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To Do This:
1. Measure the resistance of the resistor pellet on the ignition key then select a resistor within 5% of
the key's value
2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the
ignition switch to the VATS control module.
NOTE: These wires are typically White w/ Black trace and Violet w/ Yellow trace, however in later model
Cadillacs, they are run through an orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Yellow, or both
White wires. Consult the factory service manual for additional information.
3. Connect the Light Blue Wire from the Remote Start Unit to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.
4. Cut (#1) wire (as shown), and connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to terminal #87a of
the relay. Connect the other side of the (#1) wire to terminal #30.
5. Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire (as shown).
NOTE: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only.

3 Black w/ White trace Wire: 300 mA Horn Output
The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current
output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch.
If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace
wire to terminal 86 of a 30Amp automotive relay, and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused
+ 12 VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay
terminal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.
4 Brown Wire: (+) Inhibit Shut Down
Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown wire, the Remote Starter will be prevented from operating,
even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If there is a neutral start wire in the vehicle that switches
+ 12 volts when the vehicle is in any gear other than Park or Neutral, this wire can be connected to that
vehicle wire to prevent starting while in gear.
5 Brown w/ Black trace Wire: Positive Inhibit Input
The Brown w/ Black Trace wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control module whenever it gets + 12 volts. If the Brake lights switch in the vehicle switches + 12 volts to the brake light circuit,
connect the Brown w/ Black trace 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 into gear, the brake pedal must be depressed.
The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off.
6 DK. Blue w/ Black trace Wire: External Trigger Input
The Dark Blue/Black trace wire allows the remote start unit to be activated from an external source. The
intent of this wire is to allow the unit to be controlled from a "Car Connection" / or "CAR-LINK" paging
system or similar device. When this wire receives a ground pulse, the unit will start the vehicle. Connect
this wire to a ground pulsed output from the controlling circuit.
7 Orange w/ Black trace 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.
8 Green w/ Yellow trace Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input
