INTRODUCTION
This Remote Starter with Alarm and Keyless Entry System has been designed to be installed on fuel-injected vehicles with
an automatic transmission ONLY.
■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 in 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 the operation manual for operating.■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 cannot 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 beginning work on the vehicle.
■Check behind panels before drilling any holes. Ensure that no wiring harness or other components are
located behind the panels that would otherwise be damaged.
■Do not 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. We suggest
soldering all connection points.■Install the wiring neatly under carpets or behind trim to prevent possible
damage to wires.
WIRING
Keep wiring away from moving engine parts, exhaust pipes and high-tension cable. Be sure to tape
wires that pass through holes on the firewall to prevent fraying.
CAUTION: Do not connect the wire harness to the control module until all wiring to vehicle is complete.
H1: 6 PIN HEAVY GAUGE WIRING CONNECTIONS:
Remember that what the system does to start a vehicle is to duplicate the functions of the ignition key
switch! Below, we will explain the three basic functions of the ignition switch. Since this installation will
require analysis of the ignition switch functions, we recommend 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 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 VIOLET wire
will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire has +12 volts
when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” (CRANK) position only. This wire has 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.
Red Wire (2) — +12V Power Input
Closed in Park or Neutral Only
Remove the two 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the satellite has
been plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay
satellite will energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since the factory supplies (+) 12V
to the key switch that is used to operate the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected there.
Note: If the factory supplies two separate (+) 12V feeds to the ignition switch, connect one RED wire of
the satellite to each feed at the switch.
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 power. Connect the PINK wire to the ignition 2 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. If the PINK wire is not used, cap the end of the wire.
Brown Wire –Accessory Output (Heater /AC Output)
Connect the BROWN wire to the accessory wire in the vehicle 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, and 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 provide power to 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
H5:5 PIN WIRE HARNESS:
RED / WHITE WIRE –PARKING LIGHT RELAY INPUT —
The RED/WHITE wire is the input to the flashing parking light relay. The connection of the RED/WHITE
wire will determine the output polarity of the flashing parking light relay.
If the vehicle you are working on has +12volt switched parking lights, you don’t need connect this wire.
This wire is already connected to +12volt.
If the vehicle’s parking lights are ground switched, cut the RED/WHITE wire, connect the RED/WHITE
wire to chassis ground.
WHITE WIRE — PARKING LIGHT RELAY OUTPUT (+12 V 10A OUTPUT) —
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 max. Do not exceed this limit or damage to the alarm and parking relay will
result.
BLACK WIRE — SYSTEM GROUND –
This is the main ground connection of the alarm module. Make this connection to a solid section of the
vehicle frame. Do not connect this wire to any existing ground wires supplied by the factory wire loom,
make the connection to the vehicle’s frame directly.
BROWN WIRE – (+) 2A SIREN OUTPUT –
This wire is provides power to the supplied siren. Connect the Brown wire to the Red wire of the siren.
Connect the Black wire of the siren to a stable chassis ground.
RED WIRE — SYSTEM POWER (+12V CONSTANT) —
The RED wire supplies power to the system. Connect this wire to a stable constant +12 volt source.
H7. 3-PIN BLACK CONNECTOR. – TWO-WAY TRANSCEIVER/ANTENNA MODULE
The Two-way transceiver/antenna mounting location should be the upper left or lower left corner of
driver’s windshield. For optimum range we suggest that the antenna be mounted as shown in picture to the
right. (Antenna tip facing up) Warning!
Do not mount in such a manner that it obstructs the driver’s view.
- Remove the protective tape backing.
- Carefully align the two-way transceiver/antenna and apply to windshield.
- Route the black connector wire behind the trim and connect to the two-way transceiver/antenna.
-Connect the other end to the control module.
-Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metal -shielded
window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the two ways
transceiver/antenna module away from metallic shielded window glass as far as possible.
H8. 2 PIN BLUE CONNECTOR FOR THE VALET SWITCH: (Under door on main unit)
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.
H6/1 BROWN/BLACK WIRE: 200 mA (-) Ground Output When Running.
This wire provides a negative output during the remote start process. It can be used to operate by-pass
modules that may be required in your installation. This wire will provide ground once the remote start
process has been initiated and will remain grounded while the engine is running.
H6/2 GRAY/BLACK WIRE: 200 mA (-) Second Starter Output.
This line can be used if a second starter line is needed. Some vehicles require a two-starter line to remote
start. This wire provides a negative output that will work the same way as the Violet starter line in
connector H1.
H6/3 PINK WIRE – (-) 200mA Programmable Output 2 Steps Unlock Output (Factory default
setting)
The 2 steps unlock feature will work for the most fully electronic door lock circuit. The vehicle must
have an electronic doo r lock switch (not the lock k nob or key switch), which locks and unlocks all of
vehicle's doors. When wired for this feature, press the disarm (or unlock) button one time will disarm the
alarm and unlock the driver's door only. If, press disarm (or unlock) button two times within 3 seconds,
the alarm will disarm and all doors will unlock.
Factory Security Disarm Signal Output –
This wire is designed to disarm a factory installed security system. This wire sends a negative (-) 1
seconds pulse upon a remote start and remote door unlocking. Some factory systems must be disarmed
to allow remote starting. In most cases, this wire may be connected directly to the factory alarm disarm
wire. The correct wire will show negative ground when the key is used to unlock the doors or trunk. This
wire is usually found in the kick panel area in the wiring harness coming into the car body from the door.
Start Status (Shock Sensor By-Pass Control) Output–
This wire is designed to by-pass shock sensor module. This wire will supply an output at all times the
remote start is operating plus an additional 3 seconds after the remote start unit turn off.
Key Sensor Bypass Output –
This output is for a Key Sense wire by-pass that some Chrysler and Toyota vehicles need to activate
remote start. This wire comes on when remote start is activated and stays on for 20 seconds.
H6/4 WHITE / BLUE WIRE – (-) Instant Start & Turn Off Input –
This wire activates and turns off the remote starter each time it sees a momentary ground signal. Normally used
for testing during installation or when activating the module from an after-market system.
H6/5 WHITE WIRE – (-) 200mA Dome Light Control Output –
This wire becomes grounded when the
dome light controls circuit active.
The current capacity of this wire is 200mA.
This wire can control the operation of the
interior lights. An optional 10 Amps relay can be used to this system
for interior lights operation.
a).Upon disarming, the interior lights will remain on for 30 seconds.
b).If the alarm is triggered, the interior light will flash for the same duration as the siren.
H6/6 BROWN / WHITE WIRE – (-) 200mA Programmable Output Horn Output – (Factory default
setting)
This wire is provided to use the existing vehicle's horn as the alarm system 's
optional's warning audible device. It's a transistorized low current output,
andshould only be connected to the low current ground output from the
vehicle's horn switch. When the system is triggered, the horn will sound.
Factory Security Rearm Signal Output. This output is programmable.
If programmed rearm a factory installed security system. This wire will
supply a pulse whenever the remote start times out or is shut down using
the transmitter and remote door locking.
H6/7 BLACK/GREEN WIRE – (-) 200mA Channel 4
Channel 4 Output (Factory default setting, Momentary grounded)
This wire is built-in user-programmable timer output provides a ground through this wire. Press the transmitter
and buttons at the same time. You may program the built-in timer to send a ground signal for any time interval
between 1 second and 2 minutes. For instance, this timer output may be used to turn on the headlight with the
remote control. Also on certain BMW, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar and Volkswagen cars, you can use this unique
timed output to allow remote closure of all power window and sunroof without the need for an external module!
H6/8 BLACK/WHITE WIRE – (-) Neutral Safety Switch Input or (-) Enable 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. The 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 the TESTING YOUR
INSTALLATION GUIDE)
IMPORTANT NOTE: This wire must have a “GROUND” to operate remote start.
H6/9 ORANGE/WHITE WIRE – 200mA Grounded Output when Disarmed - N.O. Disable
This wire will become grounded when the alarm is disarmed. The current capacity of this wire is 200mA. It can
be connected to optional Ignition disable relay / ECU disable relay / Fuel Pump disable relay.
H6/10 WHITE/RED WIRE – Tachometer Signal Connection –
Note: You should connect this wire if you program the Start Feature E – 2 to “Tachometer checking type”,
otherwise do not connect this wire and tap the end.
Note: No connection of this wire is required, if you use the voltage or timer checking type mode.
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,
To test for a tachometer wire, a multi -meter capable of testing AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire
will show between 1V and 6V AC at idle, and will increase as engine RPM increases. In multi -coil ignition
system, the system can learn individual coil wire. Individual coil wires in a multi -coil ignition system will
register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, if necessary, the system can use a fuel injector control wire for
engine speed sensing. Common locations for a tachometer wire are 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. The vehicle will be
damaged. How to find a tachometer wire with your multi -meter
1. Set the ACV or AC voltage (12V or 20V is fine.)
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Must program the “Tach Signal” before trying to remote start.
H6/11 BLUE/BLACK WIRE – (-) 200mA Accessory 2 Output –
This wire provides a 200mA (-) ground output. This output will energize when the remote start is
activated, go away while the starter is cranking, and then come back on when the vehicle has started
successfully.
H6/12 WHITE/GREEN WIRE – (-) Diesel Wait To Start Input
In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that on the WAIT-TO-START light in the
dashboard. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the
light goes out the vehicle can be started. This wire is always at the connector leading to the bulb in the
dashboard. It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles.
To test and determine the polarity of this wire:
1. Set your multi -meter to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to (+) 12V.
3. Probe the wire that you suspect leads to the bulb with the (-) probe of the meter.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
5. If the meter indicates 12 volts until the light goes out you have isolated the connect wire and the wire’s
polarity is negative (ground while the bulb is on).
6.If the meter reads zero volts until the light goes out and then reads 12 volts, you have isolated the
connect wire and the wire’s polarity is positive.
Connect this wire to the wire in the vehicle that sends the signal to turn on the WAIT-TO-START bulb in
the dashboard. In most diesels the wire is negative (ground turns on the bulb) and this wire can be directly
connected to the wire in the vehicle. If the vehicles use a positive wire (12V to turn the bulb) a relay must
be used to change the polarity.
H6/13 YELLOW WIRE – (-) 200mA Ignition 3 Output –
This wire provides a 200mA (-) ground output that becomes active 4 seconds before the remote
start unit initialize, and remains grounded while running.
Ignition 3 output:
Some newer vehicles use a third ignition wire which is required to start and keep the vehicle’s engine
running. If this is the case, wire an IGN 3 relay (not supplied) as shown below: Do not connect any vehicle
circuits together, they are isolated for a reason.
Transponder interfacing using relay:
If the vehicle has a transponder system installed, you will need to by-pass the system while the vehicle is
operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit.
To do this:
1. You will need a transponder key that's already programmed to the vehicle.
2. Remove the trim around the ignition switch.
3. Wrap a thin (28 - 30awg) wire tightly around ignition switch 6 to 8 times and secure it.
4. About 6"down line make another loop of approximately 2"diameter.
5. Place the key inside this loop and secure it to the loop.
6. Connect on end of the (28 - 30awg) wire to pin (87) of the relay module.
7. Connect the other end of the loop wire to Pin (30) of relay module.
8. Connect the pin (86) of the relay module to the ignition wire from the ignition switch.
9. Connect the pin (85) of the relay module to the H6/13 yellow wire of 20-pin connector.
GM VATS KEY OVERRIDE:
If the vehicle has the General Motor VATS system installed, you will need to by-pass 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.
3. Connect the YELLOW wire from Remote Start Unit to TERMINAL #85 of an external relay. Connect
terminal #86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt.
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).

"grounding" type factory door pins locate the "common wire" that connects the door pin switches. Make the
connection of the GREEN Wire here.
H6/15 GRAY WIRE – (-) 200mA Channel 3 Output –
This will become a 1 second pulse ground by activate (button 3) on transmitter for two seconds, the
current capacity of this wire is 200 mA. This feature allows you to remote control trunk release or other electric
device. (Realay may be required).
H6/16 BLUE WIRE – Ground Instant Trigger Input (Zone 2) –
This wire is the ground trigger input wire for hood and or trunk pin switches
H6/17 WHITE/VIOLET WIRE – Positive Safety Shut Down Input –
This wire provides an instant shutdown for the remote start,
whenever it gets +12volts. 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. See diagram.
H6/18 VIOLET WIRE – Positive Door Switch Sensing Input (Zone 3)–
This wire is the positive trigger input wire for positive door pin switch. This wire is connection for
"positive" type factor y door pins (typical FORD MOTOR). Locate the "common wire" for all door pins and
make the connection of the VIOLET Wire here.
H6/19 WHITE/BLACK WIRE – Negative Safety Shut Down Input – Hood trigger Input
The WHITE/BLACK wire provides an
instant shutdown for the remote start,
whenever it is grounded. Connect the
wire to the hood pin switch previously
installed. This wire must be routed
though a grommet in the firewall and
connected to the hood pin switch.
This will also act as a hood trigger for
the alarm systemImportant! 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. See detail of wiring in the following diagram. This wire may also be
used if the vehicle brake light circuit switches ground to the brake lights. An isolation diode must be used
for ground switched brake light circuits and must be connected to the output of the brake switch.
Vehicle brake light circuit switches ground to the brake lights. An isolation diode must be used for ground
switched brake light circuits and must be connected to the output of the brake switch.
H6/20 ORANGE WIRE – (-) 200mA Grounded Output When Armed –
This wire will become grounded when the alarm is armed. The current capacity of this wire is 200mA.
This output can control starter disable, when an intrusion is detected and the system is triggered. The vehicles
prevent from any unauthorized starting.
