Installation Tools
Here is a list of basic tools and supplies you will need to test and i nstall safely.
• Digital Multi Mete r (DMM), Computer safe logic probe, Fused jumper wire, Neon 'trouble' light that is
carpet safe, Fender protector, Carpet pr otector
• Soldering Iron, sol der, electrical tape, wire tie straps, s plit loom, diodes, resistors, relays
• Wire cutters, Wire strippers, Wire crimpers, Needle Nose Pliers
• Sharp knife, Panel poppers, Various Scr ew drivers
• Socket set, Wrench set, Drill with Drill Bits, Coat hanger (for fishing wires through the fire wall)
Installation Points to Remember
• On vehicles with a manual transmission, always ensure that all door pins are monitored by the remote
starter.
• Make sure that the Parking brake and Door switch cont acts work properly.
• When working on a vehicle, always leave a window open.
• Never leave the keys in the car. Leave them on a workbench with a window rolled down.
• If possible, remove c ourtesy light fuse to prevent b attery drain.
• The Programming Assistance Button (a.k.a. PAB): The PAB is mounted on the side of the unit. This
push button m imic s th e hood-pin switch in order to avoid having to get out of the vehicle and pressing the hood-pin switch. Th e P AB will work only whe n the hood is up.
P-4 Installation Guide
• Inspect v ehicle for any body dam age or electrical problems.
• Always solder and tape all connections.
• Keep the tr ansceiver away from other ty pes of antennas (GPS/OnStar®).
• Never install the c ontrol uni t where it c ould interfere with normal operation or obs truct service techni cians.
• Always use a grommet when running wires into the engi ne compartment.
• Never run wi res through bare or s harp metal.
• Do not disc onnect the battery o n vehicles equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios.
• Never ground the cont rol unit to the steering column.
• Make sure that all electrical switches and controls operate properly.
• Verify that the vehicle starts and idles pr operly.
• Make sure that all safety equipment is installed: the valet button (if installed), the hood switch, and the
warning label.
Examples:
Wiring a clutch bypass and a transponder module to the ground out when running wire: At the junction point, where Ground Out when running “splits” and goes to each device, a diode is inserted on each of those lines.
Multiple or separate door pin connections:
When joining all door pins together to the door pin input wire of the module, each wire must be isolated with a diode to prevent feedback. N.B.: The above examples reflect common situations where diodes are used to isolate. Please note that there are numerous other scenarios where diode isolation is required.
Always make sure that any external relays or modules added to the Remote Starter module are properly fused and diode isolated.
• Vehicles equipped with daytime running lights may not allow the installer to view certain programming results since the daytime running lights do not turn OFF with the IGN off (Note: The Parking Light output relay in the module gives two “clicks” per fl ash, 1 “click” for ON and 1 “clic k” for OFF).
• Parking Light flash es referre d to in this m anual refer to the Parking Light output of t he module.
INDUSTRY C ANADA USER NO TICE:
Operatio n is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any int erference, includi ng interference that may cause undesired operation of the devic e. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gai n should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropic ally radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could v oid the user's author ity to operate the equipment.
Installation Order
The following is a suggested order for the Installation procedure. It is intended as a guide for novices, to help make the process of installing a remote starter module easier. Time is wasted by rewiring the module when mistakes are made. Also, the neatness of the installation is lessened every time the module is taken down and the wiring is “corrected”.
• Visit www.prostart.org
to obtain a copy of your vehi cle’s tec h sheet. (wi re colors and locati ons)
• Before you get started, make sure the vehicle starts and idles properly with the Ignition key, and that the electrical system is not compromised in a ny way.
• After deciding what options are to be added to the basic installation, you can start by looking for the wires that will be needed.
• Remember to be careful when removing the panels that are coveri ng the wires you are searching for.
• Once all of the wires have been found, they should be tested to verify that they are the correct ones
needed for the installat ion.
Installation Guide P.5
• When all the wires have been tested and found, they can be stripped to expose the wire (over one inch of insulation should be removed).
• It is always better to strip more than you need. A common way cold solder joints happen is when not enough insulation is stripped off the vehicle's wire, so during the soldering process the insulation from the wire melts and flows i nto the connection instead of t he solder.
• Decide where the module is going to be mounted. It is ALWAYS mounted inside the passenger compartment, and NEVER in the engine bay. Under the driver's side of the dash there is usually enough room for the module to fit. Once the locati on has been d ecided, pr oceed to the nex t st ep.
• Mount the antenna and run the cable to the location where the module is going to be mounted. The antenna will get the best range when it is high up in the vehicle, and not obstructed by metal. The most common choice is the center of the windshield at the top, behind the rear view mirror, and at least one inch below the tint strip. Another location should be used if there is another antenna in this location, compass, or other device that may interfere with the range of the start mo dule.
• In the engine compartment, mount the hood pin, in a suitable location. Search along the firewall for an OEM grommet you run the wires thr ough. If you cannot f ind an OEM gr ommet to use, you will have to dri ll a hole. The hole must be big enough for all of your wires to fit through. To be safe drill the hole out a little bigger so the wires will have ample room. We recommend using an aftermarket grommet whenever you drill a hole through the firewall. This will protect the wires from rubbing against the bare metal and possibly shorting out. The next step is to pre-wire the module. This is done on your work bench, and not in the vehicle. Connect any external modules and relays that may be needed for you install. Tape or tie­strap wires that are going to be routed to the same areas of the vehicle. This will keep things neat when the module is in the vehicle. The fuses on the power wires should be removed during the pre-wire stage. The fuses wi ll not be put back in until the pow ering sta ge of the installation.
• Connect all the necessary accessories to the module before mounting it in the vehicle. U se tie -straps to secure it to the vehicle. Make sure the module and harnessing do not interfere with any moving parts, and do not obstruct access to diagnostic ports, or fuse boxes. It should be up in the dash, high enough that it won't get kic ked by accident.
• Once the module is secured, route the wires to the previously stripped wires they correspond to (leave the engine compartment wires for last). Tie strap them up as you go, so they do not interfere with anything els e.
• When all of the passenger compartment wires are ran to their locations, you can route the engine compartment wires through the f irewall.
• With the engine compartment wires out the way, you can begin making the connections in the passenger compartment. Strip about an inch of wire past where the connection is going to be made. This extra bit of wire is wrapped around the exposed OEM wire to secure in place while you are soldering.
• When all of the wires have been connected, solder the connections. When the solder has cooled, the connecti ons are then individually taped up, to isolate them.
• Return to the engine bay and route the tac h and hood pin w ire to their corresponding connections.
• Solder the engine compartment wire once the connections are made. When the solder has cooled, the
connecti ons are then individually taped up, to isolate them.
• Use your DMM to verify that your ground location is good before grou ndi n g the mo dul e.
• The last step before progr amming is to power up the module. Replace the power fuses on the power wire
fuse hold ers. The module will flash the Park lights twice to confirm the po w er-up.
A basic introduction to the Relay
What is a rel ay?
A relay is a switching device that responds to a small c urrent or voltage change by activating switches or ot her devices in an electr ic circuit such as an el ectromagnetic switch, remote controlled switch, a switchin g device.
Why are relays used?
Relays can have sever al purposes in remot e car starter installations. T hey are mainly used for isolation, inversion, interruption, strengtheni ng current, and for powering multiple wir es from one s ource safely.
P-6 Installation Guide
How does a r elay work?
The basic relay consists of a c oil and a set of contacts . The most common relay mechanism is the electrom agnetic mechanism. When voltage is applied to the coil, curre nt passes through the wire and creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field pulls the contacts together and holds them until the current flow in the coil has stopped. Relays come in all varieties and types, but for the applications that concern us, we will conc entrate on t he
single pol e double throw (SPD T) 12 volts relay. Naming Convention
Usually the relay’s m anufacturer will inc lude an electrical di agram on the relay dis playing th e role of eac h terminal and how they interact w ith each other. These terminal numbers are standard, and can be used with any SPDT relay. 85 & 86: The coil. These inputs energize the coil when one is +12 volts, and the ot her is negative. They are usually non-polarized, so it does not matter which one is positive (+) or negative ( -).
87: Normally Open (N/O). When the coil is energized, 87 is connected to 30. 87A: Normally Closed (N/C). When the coil is at rest, 87A is connected to 30. 30: Common. When the relay is at rest, 30 is connected to 87A, when the coil is energized, it is then moved
and makes contact wi th 87. (Note: in a SPDT r elay, 30 can never be connected to 87 and 87A at the same time, 30 is connected to either 87 or 87A)
What happens
When there i s no voltage across the coil (t erminals 85 and 86), the relay's movable contact arm (connected to terminal 30) is held, by spring t ension, against terminal 87A (normally closed circuit). When 12 volts is applied to the coil (terminals 85 and 86), the arm ( connected to term inal 30) is pulled by the electrom agnet (coi l) so that it physically connects to terminal 87 (norm ally open circuit). When 12 volts is applied to the coil (terminals 85 and 86), the arm ( connected to termi nal 30) is pulled by the electromagnet (coil) so that i t physical ly connects to terminal 87 (normally open circuit). Remember , there is no polarity on a relay’ s coil. This means that you may ap ply posit ive from the b attery to either terminal 85 or 86, and then ground the other terminal to activate the relay. In other words, you m ay use either a positive or negative trigger to energize the relay. Keep in mind, when the relay is energized , if the positive or the ground connection on the coil is broken, the arm switc hes the connection bet ween 30 back from 87 to 87a.
Quenching Di o de s
It was said earlier that a relay e nergizes i tself by ap plying positive from t he battery to either 8 5 or 86 and groundin g the other t erminal. T his is not a bsolutely true, some relays are “polarized” if they have a quenching/ suppress ion diode (A diode ins talled between the coil terminals 85 and 86, could be internal or external). To activ ate the coil on this type of relay, m ake sure that the +12 vol ts trigger is on the same terminal of the relay as the anode (+ or non striped side) s ide of the que nching/suppressi on diode, and that the negative trigger is on the same terminal of the relay as the cathode (- or striped side) of the quenching/ suppression diode. When a relay’s coil i s energized, a magnet ic field is created and energy is stored in t he coil. When power is removed fr om the coil, the magnet ic field collapses. This causes a revers e voltage to be generated and can sometimes reach 200 volts. A quenching diode absorbs this reverse voltage spike.
A closer l ook at a relay
Now that you know what the main i nscriptions are on the relay, take a look on the side, and you will see another inscription: 12 VDC, 40/ 30 A.
12 VDC: This indicates the coil vol tage rati ng. For an automotive relay, it's usually 12 volts DC. 40/ 30 A: This indicates the current carrying capability of the contacts 30, 87, & 87A. 40: Indic ates that t he normally closed circuit (30 and 87a) can safely handle a maximum of 40 amps of curr ent. 30: Indic ates that t he normally open circuit (30 and 87) can safely handle a maximum of 30 amps of current. Examples:
The following exam ples demonstrate some of the most common uses for relays: isolation, inversion, interruption, strengthenin g current, and for powering mult iple wires from one source safel y.
Installation Guide P.7
Powering multiple wires from one source safely Example: Powering a second ignition
Problem: You need t o power multiple ignition wires to remote start the vehicle, but your module only has one
ignition output available. Solution: You will need to add a second ignition relay to power the second-igniti on wire. (J um ping ignition 1 to ignition 2 is never recommended Always use a relay. The vehicle circuits are isolate d for a reason; the
wiring of the remote star module should reflect this.) The Relay Connections 85: Connects in paral lel to the ignition 1 output fr om the remote start module. This becomes the positive side of
the coil. 86: Connects to the Ground Out When Running wire fr om the rem ote start module. This becomes the negative s ide of the c oil. 87: Connected to a fused +12 volts source, that is cap able of suppl ying power for the ve hicle's sec ond ignition wire. This becomes the source of power for the 2
nd
ignition wire.
87A: No connection. This terminal is not used in this applicat ion. 30: Connects to the vehicle's second ignition wir e. This becomes the output of the 2
nd
ignition relay. Comments: The rel ay is only en ergized when the vehic le is running by remote start. W hen started wi th the key, the relay is not energized and the integrity of the st ock system has been preserved.
Isolation: Example: Isolating a park light output
Problem: Some vehi cle circuits need to be isolated from feedback. In som e cases, when a vehicle is remote
started, feedback oc curs on a circuit, and powers another device or switc h, that was not intended to be powered during the remote starts. The following exam ple will be a positive (+) park light circuit that feeds bac k and activates the windshield wipers during rem ote start s. Solution: When power is applied to the OE M park light wire it back feeds through the park light switch, and activates the wipers . Where the connection was made from the start module’s park l ight output , and the vehicle's park light circuit, the OEM park light wire is cut to isolate the park light switch and t he actual parking lights. A relay is added to the park light ci rcuit so that power from the remote start m odule is only sent to the parking lights and not the parki ng light switch.
The Relay Connections 85: Connects to the +12 volt par k light output from the r emote start modul e. This becomes the positive side of
the coil. 86: Connects to a negative source (where the remote start module is grounded). This becomes the negat ive side of the coil. 87: Connects to the +12 volt par k light output from the r emote start modul e. This becomes the power supply for the vehicle's park l ights. The OEM par k light wire is cut. The side that is still connected to t he switch becomes the “switch side”. The side that is still connected to the parking lig hts becomes “parking lights s ide”.
87A: Connects to t he “switch side” of the cut OEM park light wire. 30: Connects to the “ park light side” of the cut OEM par k light wire. Comments: When the relay is at rest, the O EM park light wire is c onnected (through 87A & 30) and allowed to
operate n ormally. When the remote start m odule powers the park lights, t he OEM park light wire is opened, and power fro m the remote start module is sent onl y to the act ual parki ng lights ( from 87 through 30).
Inversion: Example: A ctivating a positi ve trunk release switch
Problem: The vehicle's power trunk release switch is activated by a pos itive (+) pulse, and the remote start
module's trunk outp ut is negative (-). Solution: A relay is used to inv ert the negative signal from th e start module to a pos itive signal before it is sent to the OEM switch.
P-8 Installation Guide
The Relay Connections 85: Connects to the s tart module's trunk release output wire. This becomes the negative side of the coil.
86: Connects to a fus ed +12 volt s source. Thi s becomes the positive side of t he coil. 87: Connects to a fused +12 volts source. This bec omes the supply for th e positiv e trunk release. 87A: No connection. This terminal is not used in this applicat ion. 30: Connects to the OEM trunk wire in the vehicle. Comments: At rest, the trunk sw itch is allowed to op erate normally. Whe n the trunk button is pressed, th e
negative trunk output from th e remote start module triggers the relay. When the rel ay is activated, +12 v olts from 87 is sent throug h 30, and the OEM trunk switch is activated, by the posit ive pulse.
Interruption: Example: C reating a s tarter disable rel ay to prevent unauthor ized starting of the v ehicle.
Problem: The OEM starter cir cuit needs to be disabled only when theft is attempted. Solution: A relay is used to interrupt th e O E M starter w ire. There is an output on the remote start module
especially for this purpose (starter disable output).
The Relay Connections 85: Connects to the s tarter disable output wire from the remote start module. This becomes the negativ e trigger
for the coil .
86: Connects to the v ehicle's ignition wire. This becomes the positive tr igger for the coil. 87: No connection. T his termin al is not us ed in this ap plication.
The vehicle's OEM start wire is cut. The side of the wire that is still connec ted to the ignition s w itch becomes the “key s ide” of the starter wire. The side of the wire that is still connected to the starter motor becomes t he “starter side” of the of the starter wire.
87A: Connects to t he “key side” of the cut OEM starter wire. 30: Connects to the “starter side” of the cut OEM start wire. Comments: At rest the relay is not activ e, and +12 vol ts on the st arter wire passes through the rel ay (throug h
87A & 30) normally. The starter disable out put wire on the remote s tart module is activated when the LOCK button is pressed on the remote control. When a theft attempt happens, and the thief powers the ignition circuit (to hot-wire the vehic le), and th e starter disable w as armed (by the LOCK button on the remote) , the starter disabl e relay act ivates. Th e O EM start wire is now open, (does not make conn ection) bec ause 30 is no longer connected t o 87A, and the vehicl e is unable to start.
Strength eni ng Cur r ent : Example: S tr e ngt h eni ng an out put
Problem: A vehicle has a negati ve (-) tri gger trunk r elease wire. The module has a negative trunk release
output wire. The remote start m odule is unable to sup ply the necessary current to activate the vehicle's trunk release wire.
Solution: A relay is used to prov ide the necessary negative current to active the vehicle's trunk release w ir e. The Relay Connections 85: Connects to the s tart module's trunk release wir e output. This becomes the negative tri gger for the c oil.
86: Connects to a fus ed +12 volt source. 87: Connects to a negative source (where the remote start module is grounded). This becomes the supply for
activating the vehicle's trunk release wire.
87A: No connection. This terminal is not used in this applicat ion. 30: Connects to the v ehicle's t runk release wire.
Comments: At rest the relay is not activ e and the vehicle's tr unk release switch is allowed to operate normally.
When the trunk release button is pressed, the start m odule's tr unk release output ac tivates the relay. The ground si gnal is sent from 87 through 30 to t he vehicle's trunk rel ease wire activating the switch and opening the trunk.
Installation Guide P.9
Clutch Bypass
In order to remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the clutch switch must be bypassed. Clutch safety switch circuits can take many forms. Listed below are the most common ones. When testing to determine the type of clutch circuit, it is recommended to use a computer safe logic probe. Some vehicles may also have a separate or combined switch on the clutch pedal for cruise control. Usually a cruise control switch reacts the moment you touch the pedal, where as a clutch switch reacts only when the pedal is near the floor. Once the circuit type has been determined, you must recreate what happens electrically at the switch, with the remote start module, to bypass the clutch during remote starts. Relays are often used to accomplish this. Always use the Ground Out When Running (G.O.) as the negative trigger on your clutch bypass relays, as it is only active during remote starts. NEVER permanently bypass a clutch switch. Do not attempt this if you are unfamiliar with the use of relays, and diode i solation.
Before any Hot wiring attempts:
Test and record the w ay each wire t ests in the following pos i ti o ns:
With out the pedal pr es se d:
• test the wires with the Ignition OFF
• test the wires with the Ignition ON
• test the wires with the Key in the start position
With the pe dal pressed:
• test the wires with the Ignition OFF
• test the wires with the Ignition ON
• test the wires with the Key in the start position
• With this information for every w ire at the switch, determining what type of clutch switching system you
have will be easy.
Direct Fe ed :
The simplest type of system to test and bypass is the “Direct Feed” system. This circuit simply interrupts the +12v signal starter wire from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid. There are 2 wires in this circuit, the “key side” wire which goes from the clutch pedal to the Ignition switch, and the “solenoid side” which goes from the clutch switch to the starter motor. When the key is turned to the start position without pressing the pedal, you will test 12v only on one of the wires at the clutch switch, this is the key side. When the pedal is pressed down, and the key is in the crank position, the other wire will also read 12 volts; this is the solenoid side wire. To confirm you have a direct feed clutch switch, hot wire the “solenoid side” wire with a fused +12 volts and the starter motor will crank. Connect the starter output from the remote star ter to solenoid side wi re.
Note: In the next two systems a Relay in the vehicle interrupts the start wire between the Ignition switch and the starter motor. With the key in the START position, and the clutch pedal pressed, the relay energizes and allows the start signal to reach the starter motor. In these systems a wires from the clutch triggers the relay, when the pedal is pressed. There will be another wire at the clutch switch that supplies the signal to the trigger wire (either positive or negative, depending on the system).
Negative:
In a Negative system, when the clutch is pressed; a negative signal is sent to the relay, the relay energizes, when the Key is turned to the start position the 12volts from the start wire is allowed to pass through the relay and to starter motor. One of the wires at the clutch will test as negative, this is the supply wire. The relay's negative trigger wire will only show negative when the pedal is pressed (some vehicle's also require the Ignition system to be powered). To confirm you have a Negative system, hot wire the negative trigger wire by jumping it to a ground source with your fused test jumper. You should now be able to turn the key to the start position and engage the start motor without pressing in the clutch pedal. If there is nothing else connected to the Ground Out When Running (G.O.) wire from the remote start module, the G.O. wire should be strong enough to trigger the vehicle's clutch relay. If there are other devices or modules connected to the G.O. Wire, a relay (and diodes) may have to b e added to strengthen t he negative current going to the clutch bypass.
Positive:
Very similar to the negative system, except that the vehicle's clutch relay is trigger by 12 volts, instead of a negative signal. In a Positive system, when the clutch is pressed; a positive (12 volts) signal is sent to the relay, the relay energizes, when the Key is turned to the start position the 12 volts from the start wire is allowed to pass through the relay and to starter motor. One of the wires at the clutch will test as 12 volts, this is the supply
P-10 Installation Guide
wire. The relay's positive trigger wire will only show positive when the pedal is pressed (some vehicle's also require the Ignition system to be powered). To confirm you have Positive system, hot wire the positive trigger wire by jumping it to a 12 volt source with your fused test jumper. You should now be able to turn the key to the start position and engage the start motor, without pressing in the clutch pedal. A relay is needed to send 12 volts to the trigger wire from the start module during start attempts.
Normally Closed (N/C): Note: There are different types of this system used by various vehicle manufacturers; the following is used to
illustr ate how thes e systems work in general. A Relay is also used in these types of systems to interrupt the starter wire. In the previous two examples, the
clutch was bypassed by engaging the clutch relay; with this system you bypass the clutch by preventing the clutch relay from engaging. When the Ignition Key is turned to the start position the relay energizes and interrupts the start wire, when the pedal is not pressed. When the Ignition key is turned to the start position, and the pedal is pressed, the relay does not energize, an d the start signal reac hes the starter motor. In a N/C system the supply wire is connected to the relay's trigger wire at rest (pedal not pressed). When the pedal is pressed, the connection is broken between the supply wire and the relay's trigger wire (this disengages the relay). To verify that you have a N/C system, disconnect the clutch switch and the vehicle should start without the clutch pedal being pressed. When you test the trigger wire with your logic probe, the trigger wire will test as 12 volts or negative when the pedal is not pressed, it should read as an open circuit ( or Float) when the pedal is pressed.
PLEASE NOTE
Your probe may also show feedback from the other end of the circuit. The Polarity of the Trigger wire does not matter in this system, since all you need to do in order to bypass it is to use a relay to interrupt it during remote starts.
Harness Description
When conn ecting the M odule, it is importa nt to make sure the connector with the Ground wire is c onnected fi rst before making the 12-volt conn ections. Should the unit be powered before being gr ounded, there could b e serious d amage to internal com ponents of the unit. Be careful not to power up a Modu le before i t is properly gr oun de d. To avoid any accident, it is recom mended to pull out the fuses from their sockets before the installation, and to put th em back during the very last steps .

+12 V
Battery
Connect to the largest 12 V supply wire at the Ignition harness. Ensure that the
OEM power w ire is fused for more t han 30 A. NOTE: certain new vehicles have no suitable 12 volts source at the IGNITION switch (the 12 Volt wire is too small to supply the necessary current). In this
case, the fuse box, or t he B+ connection on t he battery is recommended.
B
PURPLE (+)
30 A
starter
output
Connect to the Starter wire of the vehicle (at the IGNITION switch). The source wire should have +12 V with the Ignition Key in the CRANK position only.
C
RED
+12 V
Battery
Connect to the largest 12 V supply wire at the Ignition harness. Ensure that the
OEM power w ire is fused for more t han 30 A. NOTE: certain new vehicles have no suitable 12 volts source at the IGNITION switch (the 12 Volt wire is too small to supply the necessary current). In this
case, the fuse box, or t he B+ connection on t he battery is recommended.
D
YELLOW (+)
30 A
Ignition
output
Connect to Ignition wire of the vehicle. The source wire should have +12 V with
the Ignition Key in th e IGNITION ON (RUN) and CRANK positions. Warning! Some vehicles have more than one IGN wire at the IGNITION switch for powering the heater blower motor. Use the 5th relay (pin F) and extra relays to power up any extra IGN. wires if necessary. DO NOT JUMP W IRES at the
IGNITION switch, this will compromise th e O EM electrical system.
