Valet Switch

1. Discuss placement with the vehicle owner.

2. Choose a location for the valet switch that is hidden, but convenient for the owner to access.

3. Drill a ¼" hole and mount the switch.

4. Route the valet switch wires to the control unit.

5.

Plug the valet switch WHITE connector into the control unit WHITE plug.

LED Indicator

1. Discuss placement with the owner.

2. Choose a location that is visible from both sides of the vehicle.

3. Drill a ¼" hole.

4. Route the LED wires through the hole and press LED into place.

5. Route the LED wires to the control unit.

6.

Ignition Input

1. Use a voltmeter to locate the one wire that shows +12 volts when the ignition key is in the "ON," "CRANK" and "RUN" positions, and 0 volts when the ignition key is in the "OFF" position.

2.

Connect the PINK wire to the vehicle ignition wire.

Channel 2 Accessory (-) Output

The DARK BLUE wire provides a 0.75 second ground (-) output when the alarm is disarmed only. This is ideal for trunk release. If the remote control button is continuously pressed, the signal will stay at ground as long as the button is held.

NOTE: Most trunk releases are positive and require an optional relay.

Channel 4 Accessory (-) Output

The LIGHT BLUE wire provides a 0.75 second (-) output when activated whether the alarm is armed or disarmed. If the remote control button is continually pressed, the signal will stay at ground as long as the button is held.

6

AMX98(3) Rev. A - Installation Manual 12/98

Channel 6 Accessory (-) Output (Arm/Disarm + Option Buttons)

The LIGHT BLUE/YELLOW wire provides a 0.75 second (-) output when activated whether the alarm is armed or disarmed. If the remote control button(s) is continually pressed, the signal will stay at ground as long as the button is held.

Parking Lights

1.

If the parking lights are positive trigger, connect the RED/WHITE wire to the battery positive (+) terminal through the 20 amp fuse.

NOTE: Do not connect the RED/WHITE wire to the control unit RED wire.

2.

If the parking lights are negative (-) trigger, connect the RED/WHITE wire to control unit BLACK wire.

3.

Connect the RED/BLACK wire to the vehicle parking light wire.

Interior Light Trigger/Illumination

The system door trigger will accept a positive or negative door trigger input. When the alarm is remotely disarmed, the interior lights will turn on for 30 seconds or until the ignition key is turned "ON." The WHITE/BLACK interior light supply wire serves two purposes. It informs the alarm whether the door trigger polarity is positive or negative switching and provides a positive or negative supply for interior light illumination.

1.

Connect the WHITE wire to the vehicle door trigger wire(s).

2.

If the door trigger is negative switching, connect the WHITE/BLACK wire to ground.

3.

If the door trigger wire is positive switching, connect the WHITE/BLACK wire to a constant fused +12 volt source.

Starter Disable

The alarm can be installed as Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.) starter disable. It is factory set for Normally Closed.

NOTE: Make sure the YELLOW relay wires are solidly connected. The starter circuit may draw very high current. We recommend that all starter wire connections be soldered.

Programmable Features

All system and remote control programmable features are accomplished by turning the ignition key to the "ON" position or starting the engine and flicking the valet switch on and off a preset number of times. The siren will chirp for audible programming confirmation.

The system also allows you to add new remote controls in one step, delete lost or stolen remote controls or rearrange the factory preset remote control functions.

1. Remove the system from Protected or Remote-Controlled Valet Mode. Programming cannot be accessed while the system is in Valet Mode indicated by the LED on solid red.

2. Select the feature you wish to program from the "Programming Table for System Features" or the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on pages 15-16. Note the number of chirps associated with that feature.

3. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position.

4. Within 10 seconds, begin flicking the valet switch on and off. The siren will chirp once each time you flick the switch on then off.

5. Continue flicking the switch on and off, counting the number of chirps.

NOTE: Stop when you reach the number of chirps associated with your chosen feature.

6. Follow the "Secondary Action." You will hear a number of chirps to confirm that you have changed the setting of that feature.

7. Turn the ignition key "OFF."

8. Repeat steps 1-7 for any other feature you wish to program.
