Introduction
This guide contains all the information rel evant and necessary for the instal lation of the alarm and
remote starter system. Most of the features of this product are explained in the user guide.
Therefore, if you need detail ed infor mation abo ut a feature of the pro duct , we recommen d that yo u
refer to the user guide.
Included in the Package
Please review the Installation Guide before beginning the installation, particularly the Wiring
Schematic and the Programming Options.
It is very important that you familiar ize yourself with the programming and the operation of the
system, even if you have already installed a similar system in the past. There a re many great
features that may be ove rlooked if th e manual i s not read; thi s woul d prev ent you from maxi mizi ng
the potential of the Module.
Prior to the installation, make s ure that all the hardware compo nents requ ired to install the system
are in the box.
The following is a list of components included in the kit:
Installation Tools
Here is a list of basic tools and supplies you will need to test and install safely.
• Digital Multi Meter (DMM), Co mput e r safe l ogi c p robe , F us ed jum per wi re, Neon 'trouble' light
that is carpet safe, Fender protector, Carpet protector
• Soldering Iron, solder, electrical tape, wire tie straps, split loom, diodes, resistors, relays
• Wire cutters, Wire strippers, Wire crimpers, Needle Nose Pliers
• Sharp knife, Panel poppers, Various Screw drivers
• Socket set, Wrench set, D rill with Drill Bits, Coat hange r (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 th at the Parkin g brake and Door switch cont acts work pr operly.
• When working on a vehicle, always leav e a window op en.
• Never leave t he keys in the car. Leave them on a workb ench with a wind ow r oll ed down.
• If possible, remove courtesy light fuse to prevent battery drain.

• The Programming Assistance Button (a.k.a. PAB): The PAB is mounted on the side of the unit. This
push button mimi cs the hood-pin switch in order to avoid having to get out of the vehicle and pressing the
hood-pin switch. The PAB will work onl y when the hood is up.
• Inspect vehicle for any body damage or electrical problems.
• Always solder and tape al l connections.
• Keep the transceiver away from other types of antennas (GPS/OnStar®).
• Never install the control unit where it could interfere with norm al operatio n or obstruc t service technicians.
• Always use a grommet when running wires into the engine compartment.
• Never run wires through bare or sharp metal.
• Do not disconnect the battery on vehicles equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios.
• Never groun d the control unit to the steering column.
• Make sure th at all electrical switches and control s operate properly.
• Verify that the vehicle st arts and idles properly.
• Make sure that all safety equipment is installed: the valet button (if installed), the hood switch, and the
warning label.
Example:
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 conne ctions:
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 w here diode is olation is required.
• Always make sure that any external relays or modules added to the Remote Starter module are properly
fused and diode isolated.
• When testing the Shock Sensor, never test on glass with an opened hand, and never hit glass hard
enough to break it. When testing on metal or plastic, make sure the testing does not result in damage to
the vehicle ( i.e.: dents, broken glass , damaged tri m s, etc.).
• 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 flash, 1 “click” for ON and 1 “click” for OFF).
Parking Light flashes referred to in thi s manual refer to the Parking Light output of the module
INDUSTRY CAN ADA USER NOTICE:
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen
that the equivalent isotropically 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 unautho rized
modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user's authority 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 vehicle’s tech sheet (wire colors and locatio ns)
• 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 any way.
• After deciding what options are to be added to the basic installation, you can start by looking for the wires
that will be n eeded.
• Remember to be careful wh en removing the panels th at are covering the wires you are searc hing for.
• Once all of the wires have been found, they should be tested to verify that they are the correct ones
needed for the installati on.
• 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 into the connecti on instead of the 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 location has been decided, proceed to the next step.
• 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 wit h the range of the start module.
• In the engine compartment, mount the hood pin, in a suitable location. Search along the firewall for an
OEM grommet you run the wires through. If you cannot find an OEM grommet to use, you will have to drill
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. If you are installing an alarm / starter combo module, mount the siren in the engine
compartment at this time.
• 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 tie-strap 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 will not be put back
in until the powering stage of the installation.
• Connect all the necessary accessories to the module before mounting it in the vehicle. Use 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 kicked 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
else.
• When all of the passenger compartment wires are ran to their locations, you can route the engine
compartment wires throu gh the firewall.
• 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 secur e in place while you are soldering.
• When all of the wires have been connected, solder the connections. When the solder has cooled, the
connections are then individually t aped up, to isolate them.
