Congratulations on your purchase of the RS-7K Remote Car Starter. The RS-7K
will allow you to start your vehicle's engine from the comfort of your home or office,
allowing your vehicle to warm up in winter and cool down in summer. When you
leave your vehicle, simply set the climate controls for what you desire to be operating upon remote start - heater, defroster or air conditioning.
The RS-7K comes with two 4-button remote transmitters. Please familiarize yourself with the buttons and operations of the transmitters which are explained in the
following pages.
The RS-7K is a keyless entry/remote start unit designed to be used by itself or
in conjunction with another remote control unit such as a vehicle security system.
We highly recommend that this system be professionally installed, as the complexity of the modern automobile and the nature of circuits to be accessed is often
beyond the abilities of most do-it-yourselfers.
There are several safety considerations with using and installing the RS-7K
Remote Car Starter. Among them are:
- This unit is for Automatic Transmission vehicles only . Installation in a manual
transmission equipped vehicle can result in property damage or personal injury .
- This unit is for fuel injected gasoline engines only.
- Children should not be left unattended in, or be allowed to play with the activating
transmitters of a remote starter equipped vehicle.
- Do not use this unit in an enclosed structure or garage.

Valet Override: The position of the Override switch allows or prevents the RS unit
from being activated. This feature is used when you do not wish the unit to be
operated, such as when you leave it with a valet parking attendant, mechanic or if
you loan your car to another person.
To engage the Valet Override mode, simply turn the Override Switch OFF. It is
recommended to always turn the Override Switch OFF to prevent unintentional or
unauthorized use of the Remote Car Starter.
Note: Do not confuse the toggle type V alet Override switch with the push button
programming button.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
!! WARNINGS !!
Do not attempt to install this Remote Car Starter into a manual transmission
vehicle! Doing so could cause serious property damage, personal injury,
and will void all warranties!
Be aware of, and avoid, any airbag circuitry! Due to the fact that an installer
will not be in a normal, upright seated position, severe injury may occur in
an accidental airbag deployment!
The use of a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or V olt-Ohm Meter (VOM) instead of a
standard testlight is recommended. This can greatly reduce the risk of an
accidental airbag deployment or on-board computer damage.
Battery gases are explosive! Avoid sparks and do not smoke while working
near the vehicle's battery!
IMPORTANT!
After reading this manual, start the installation by affixing the
WARNING DECAL to a visible area in the engine compartment!
Installation Considerations: This entire booklet should be read before starting
the installation. An understanding of which control module wires are to be used and
their functions is essential. Installations will vary from car to car, as some control
module wires are required, while others are optional. Before starting the installation, it should be determined which control module wires will be used. Most installers will list these wires, then "map out" the installation by locating and noting the
target wires in the vehicle. This will also determine the best location for the RS
control module, which is mounted upon completion of the installation.
This Remote Start Unit duplicates the actions that occur within the ignition switch
when you use your key to start the engine. Because of this, most of the main wiring
harness connections will be made at the ignition switch harness. The ignition switch
wires usually are high amperage circuits, which means that high reliability connections must be made! We recommend proper soldering of all connections.
Always protect wires ran through the firewall from sharp metal edges and
hot parts of the engine! Always fuse positive wires at the battery or power
source!

W I R I N G - 5 WIRE CONNECTOR
Red Wire: (Two 12-Gauge wires)
Connect both Red wires to constant 12 Volts. The most common sources are
the battery's Positive terminal and the ignition switch wiring harness (See diagram

in the ignition switch wiring harness (See diagram
a second Starter wire known as a "Cold Start" wire. When this is encountered, if the
two Starter wires are the same circuit you may connect both of these wires to the
Green wire. If the two Starter wires are separate circuits an optional prewired dual
relay socket and relays are recommended.
Note: If a security system is present which utilizes a starter interrupt circuit, the
Green wire must be connected to the Starter Motor side of the interrupt.

found in the ignition switch wiring harness (See diagram
Note: If two or more Primary Ignition wires are present, you will need to connect an
optional relay(s) to the thin Blue wire located in the 3-pin Blue connector (See dia-
gram
Avoid the Airbag circuit!
Especially avoid any harness or wires encased
