The PRO-9675FT4 Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic TransmissionVehicles Only! The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable timed
outputs for glow plug pre-heat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #9)
the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), feature #9 should remain in the
default Gasoline mode setting. For diesel applications, consult your dealer for the type of ignition system
used in your particular vehicle. Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the
vehicle MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input, and an Automatic Transmission.

INST ALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting
location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin
main wiring harness.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting
the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap
around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the
chosen location using cable ties or screws as necessary .
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected
location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed
downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine
compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before securing the siren, check behind your chosen
location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the
siren mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template,
scribe or mark the three bracket mounting holes. Drill the marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount
the siren using #8 sheet metal screws.
HOOD AND TRUNK PIN SWITCHES:
The pin switches included in this package are intended for protecting the hood and trunk areas of the
vehicle. In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is
activated, (hood/trunk open), it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the
hood switch is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on,
this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This
switch must be installed in all applications, failure to do so may result in personal injury or property
damage. Mount the switches in the hood and trunk locations away from water drain paths. If necessary ,
the included brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the
firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood or trunk door to
depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood or trunk is closed and fully extended when the hood
or trunk is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the
chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4"
hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well socket.
If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in
the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
DASH MOUNTED LED:
The small Red LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status and provide a
visual deterrent to a potential thief. The LED also provides important feed back information during the
transmitter and feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the dash in an area highly visible
so that it may be seen from the driver's seat as well as from outside the vehicle. Inspect behind the
chosen location to insure that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Carefully
2
drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and pass the connector end of the LED through the hole and toward
the control module. Press the LED firmly into place until it is fully seated in the mounting hole.
THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBL Y :
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the
dash board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle
for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles
utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route
the antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape
provided. After securing the antenna, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed
support. This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to
extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the 3 pin connector toward the control
module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control
module.
VALET/PROGRAM/MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH :
Select a mounting location that is easily accessible to the operator of the vehicle. It is not necessary to
conceal the switch. However, concealment is recommended as it of fers a higher level of security. The
switch can be mounted to the lower dash panel in the driver's area. Inspect behind the chosen location to
insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not
penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 5/32" hole in the desired location and mount the
switch by passing it through the panel from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer.
Route the switch's connector toward the control module.
NOTE: During the program sequence, there are times when this switch and the ignition switch will be
used simultaneously. We recommend that the push-button switch be mounted on the left side of the
ignition switch to facilitate this operation.
CONTROL TOGGLE SWITCH:
Select a mounting location known and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A lower dash panel, kick
panel, or glove box is desirable. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is
allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or
fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing it through the panel
from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer, and on/of f face plate. It is suggested
that the switch be oriented to allow the on position to be up toward the driver and the off position to be
down or away from the driver. Route the switch's connector toward the control module.
SHOCK SENSOR:
Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent operation from all areas of the vehicle. The selected location must be within 18" of the control module to allow
routing and connecting of the 4 pin harness. Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two
#8 self taping sheet metal screws. The sensor can also be secured to an existing dash brace using cable
tie straps. Whichever mounting method is used be sure to allow access to the sensitivity adjustment
potentiometer for use later in the installation.
ST ARTER INHIBIT RELA Y :
Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the
relay to an existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness.
Caution! Do not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause chaffing
and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then secure the relay's
metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self taping sheet metal screw . Wire the relay
as per the diagram found later in this manual.

The PRO-9675FT4 is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this
combination Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUSTNOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious
personal injury and property damage.
IMPORT ANT!
DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MUL TI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS
INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE.
AFTER SELECTING YOUR T ARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW , DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE
BATTER Y CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BA TTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS:
RED w/ WHITE Trace Wire: + 12 volt Battery 1 Source
Connect this wire to a + 12 VDC constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp
fuse and holder provided. This wire provides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and
ignition 2 relays.
RED Wire: + 12 Volt Battery 2 Source
Connect this wire to a + 12 VDC constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp
fuse and holder provided, but NOT the same vehicle wire as used by the battery 1 source. Most vehicles
have more than one battery source supplying power to the ignition switch. Separate feed wires must be
used for the Red and Red/White wires. If your vehicle does not have two battery feed wires at the ignition
switch then it is possible to connect both wires to the vehicle's battery . This wire provides power for the
start relay and the accessory relay .
IMPORT ANT!
It is the responsibility of the installing technician to determine the load factor of the vehicle's electrical
circuits when the vehicle is running, and to adequately fuse the two power wires based on that load. If the
vehicle, running under load with the air conditioner, heater blower motor, and accessories exceed 24
Amps continuous, we recommend that two fuses be used in combination on each power wire as shown
below. For additional information see Tech Update issued 9/30/96.
YELLOW 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 Y ellow wire will
be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts
when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only . This wire will have 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 of the neutral safety switch can result in
personal injury and property damage.

Purple Wire: (+) Door Trigger Input
If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches + 12 volts when the door is opened, (Some Fords and some
Imports), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In
most cases, the Purple wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors
the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel. If this wire is active when the system
is armed, the siren will emit three chirps. When the zone clears, the siren will emit 1 chirp to confirm full
arming. See below for wiring details.
Positive Door Switch Wiring Detail
Dark Green Wire: (-) Instant Trigger Input
This is the instant on ground trigger input wire. This wire must be connected to the hood and trunk pin
switches previously installed.
Note: This wire will be shunted when remote control channel 3 is accessed, (trunk release). This wire will
remain shunted all the while there is ground present and for 5 seconds after the ground is removed. This
allows the operator to open the trunk via the remote transmitter without having to first disarm the alarm
system. See below for wiring detail.

Light Blue Wire: Ignition 3 Output
This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start Unit
initializes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start Unit
turns off. In all of the applications described below , a relay will be required.
The Light Blue wire can be used to accommodate the following situations:
A. Shock Sensor By Pass:
If there is a Non Plug in Shock Sensor used with the alarm system and it is not shunted during the
Remote Start activation period, then vibration from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger. In
this case, connect the Light Blue Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay . Connect terminal# 85 of the
relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source. Cut the shock sensor trigger wire and connect one end of the
cut wire to terminal #30 and the other end of the cut wire to terminal #87a. Just before the Remote Start
unit is activated, the relay contacts will open, preventing the shock sensor's operation until the Remote
Start unit shuts off.
B. 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, connect the Light Blue wire to terminal #86 of an external relay . Connect
terminal # 30 & # 85 to a fused + 12 volt battery source rated for a minimum of 25 Amp. Connect
terminal # 87 to the third ignition wire in the vehicle.
C. GM V ATS Key Override:
If the vehicle has the General Motors V A TS system installed, you will need to by-pass the system while
the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. T o 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 from the resistor pack supplied.
2. Locate the pair of VATS wires in the vehicle, usually a pair of thin gauge wires running from the
ignition switch to the V ATS control module.
NOTE: These wires are typically White w/ Black trace and Violet w/ Y ellow trace, however in later model
Cadillacs, they are run through an orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Y ellow, or both White
wires. Consult the factory service manual for additional information.
3. Connect the Light Blue Wire from the Remote Start Unit to terminal #86 of an external relay . Connect
terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.
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).
NOTE: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only. For GM PASS
LOCK System you will require the Audiovox AS-P ASS II Module.

Green w/ Orange Trace Wire: Tachometer Input Signal
This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start
module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine
compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start unit learns the tach
rate of the vehicle and in most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the number
of cylinders. If the vehicle has a single coil unit for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect this wire
to more than one cylinder for proper tach reference. See multi coil wiring detail shown later in this manual
for additional information.
Tachometer Input Wiring Detail
Brown Wire: Negative Door Trigger
If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches ground when the door is opened, (Most GMs and Imports), you
must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases the
Brown wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as
most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel. If this wire is active when the system is armed, the siren will
emit three chirps. When the zone clears, the siren will emit 1 chirp to confirm full arming. See below for
wiring detail.

Dark Blue Wire: Delayed 300mA Pulsed Channel 3 Output
The Dark Blue wire supplies a 300mA ground pulsed output whenever channel three of the receiver is
accessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button for three seconds will access channel three.
This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay to supply power to the trunk release or the
circuit you wish to control. Connect the Dark Blue wire to terminal # 86 of a VF45F11 P&B relay or
equivalent. Connect terminal # 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt source. Connect the common, normally
open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to perform the selected function of channel 3. See below
for relay wiring detail.
Green w/ Black Trace W ire: 300mA Latched Channel 4 Output
The Green w/ Black Trace wire supplies a 300 mA switched output whenever channel four of the receiver is
accessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button(s) will access channel four and will remain
active for as long as the transmitter button(s) is held. This is a low current output and must be connected
to a relay to supply power to the device you intend to control. Connect Green w/ Black Trace wire to
terminal #86 of a VF45F1 1 P&B relay or equivalent. Connect terminal #85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt
source. Connect the common, normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to perform the
selected function of the channel 4 output.
Dark Blue/Black Trace Wire: External Trigger Input
The Dark Blue/Black trace wire allows the remote start unit to be activated from an external source. The
intent of this wire is to allow the unit to be controlled from a "POSSE/CAR-LINK" paging system or similar
device. When this wire receives a ground pulse, the unit will start the vehicle. Connect this wire to a ground
pulsed output from the controlling circuit.
Black w/ White Trace Wire : 300 mA Horn Output
The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current
output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch.
Channel 3 Relay Wiring Detail
If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace wire to terminal 86 of the
AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp automotive relay ), and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused + 12
VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay
terminal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.
WIRING THE 4 PIN AUXILIARY OUTPUT HARNESS
The auxiliary 4 pin connector provides low current outputs to control various functions in the vehicle during
different stages of the Remote Start unit's operation. Understanding these outputs and the time in which
they occur will allow you to determine if they are needed for the particular vehicle you are working on as well
as how to use them.
Black w Blue Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output Before Start
The Black w/ Blue Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output 1.5 second before the
remote start unit activates as well as when the transmitter is used to disarm the system. Typical use for
this output would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory
alarm when the remote start unit engages or when the 9675 is used to unlock the doors.
Black w/ Light Green Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Start
The Black w/ Light Green Trace wire will provide a 1 second mA pulsed ground output after the vehicle is
12
started under control of the remote start unit. Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if
the doors unlock automatically when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed.
Black w/ Red Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown
The Black w/ Red Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output after the remote start unit
shuts down. This output will occur regardless of whether the circuit times out or is manually terminated.
Typically this output will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the
ignition circuit transitions to off.
Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank)
The Black w/ Y ellow Trace wire will provide a 300 mA ground output while the starter output of the remote
start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM
vehicles. This wire is also referred to as the ECM wake up wire in some vehicles.
NOTE: The outputs above are low current outputs and must be used with a relay if the circuit's requirement
is more than 300mA.
2 Pin Control Switch: (Red Connector)
The Black & Black w/White Trace wires loaded in the two pin red connector enable the operation of the
Remote Start unit. When the Black w/ White Trace wire is grounded, the remote start unit is operable.
When this wire is open from ground, the remote start is disabled. Route the twin lead Black & Black w/
White Trace wires from the control switch to the remote start unit and plug red two pin connector into the
mating red two pin connector shell of the control module.
4 Pin Shock Sensor: (White Connector)
The Red (+12 volt), Black (ground), Blue (pre-detect) and Green (full trigger when armed) wires loaded into
the white connector shell are the inputs/outputs of the shock sensor. Route the 4 wire harness from the
shock sensor to the remote start control unit and plug the 4 pin white connector into the mating 4 pin
connector shell of the control module.
Note: While operating under the control of the remote start unit the shock sensor will be shunted (by-passed).
Once the remote start shuts down, the shock sensor will be re-enabled.
2 Pin LED Harness: (White Connector)
The Red & Blue wires loaded into the two pin mini white connector control the anode and cathode of the
dash mounted LED. Route the twin lead Red and Blue wires from the LED to the remote start control unit
and plug the two pin connector into the mating white mini connector shell of the control module.
2 Pin Valet/Program/Override Push-Button Switch: (Blue Connector)
The Black & Grey twin lead wires loaded in the two pin blue connector are the ground supply and program/
valet/override input of the Remote Start unit. When the Grey wire is grounded, under certain conditions, the
unit will enter the valet mode. When the Grey wire is sequentially grounded under other conditions, the unit
will enter the various program modes. Route the twin lead Black and Grey wires from the valet/Program
switch to the remote start unit and plug the two pin connector into the mating blue connector shell of the
control module. Refer to the remote programming, feature programming and function programming shown
later in this installation guide for operation of the valet/program switch. For override information, refer to the
owners manual.
3 Pin Antenna/Receiver Connector:
Plug the previously routed three pin connector from the antenna receiver assemble into the mating connector of
the control module. This connector supplies 12 volts, ground and RF data from the antenna receiver to the
remote start module. Be certain this connector is firmly seated making good contact to the control unit.
3 Pin Door Lock/Unlock Harness: (White Connector)
The Red and Green wires will provide either a pulsed ground output to the factory door lock control relay , or
a pulsed + 12 volt output to the factory door lock control relay . In either case, the maximum current draw
through these outputs must not exceed 300mA. The Red w/Black trace wire will provide a pulsed ground
only , and will only provide an output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time after
a first unlock command was issued. This is used for second step unlock or all doors unlock in a two step
circuit. In this arrangement, Red is used to control the drivers door unlock relay , and the Red/Black will be
used to control unlock of all other doors.
3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock Circuits:
In this application, the Red wire of the door lock harness provides a ground pulse during the arming sequence, or pulsed ground lock output. Connect the Red wire to the low current ground signal wire from the

cut wire to terminal 87a of the optional relay added. Connect the green wire of the 3 pin harness to terminal 86
of the optional relay added. Connect terminal 85 of the optional relay added to a fused constant + 12 volt
source. Most vehicles door lock/unlock motor legs rest at ground, and switch +12 volts to the door lock/
unlock motor legs for operation, if this is the case in the vehicle you are working on, connect the remaining
terminal, 87, to a fused + 12 volt source. In the rare instance that the vehicle door lock/unlock motor legs rest
at + 12 volts and switches ground to the door lock/unlock motors, connect the remaining terminal, 87, to
chassis ground.
The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a
second time after disarming. Connect the Red/Black wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal
from the factory door unlock switch to the factory door unlock control relay .
3 Wire Positive Switched 2 Step Door Locks
The green wire provides a positive pulse during arming, or the pulsed + 12 volt lock output. Connect the
green wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door lock switch to the factory
door lock control relay .
The red wire provides a positive pulse during disarming, or the drivers door pulsed positive unlock output.
Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current positive signal to unlock only
the drivers door. If the vehicle does not have a separate drivers door relay , one will have to be added. Locate the
drivers door unlock motor wire and cut it at a convenient location to allow wiring of an optional relay . Connect
the door side of the cut wire to terminal 30 of the optional relay added. Connect the vehicle side of the cut wire
to terminal 87a of the optional relay added. Connect the red wire of the 3 pin harness to terminal 86 of the
optional relay added. Connect terminal 85 of the optional relay added to chassis ground. Most vehicles door
lock/unlock motor legs rest at ground, and switch +12 volts to the door lock/unlock motor legs for operation, if
this is the case in the vehicle you are working on, connect the remaining terminal, 87, to a fused + 12 volt
source. In the rare instance that the vehicle door lock/unlock motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches ground
to the door lock/unlock motors, connect he remaining terminal, 87, to chassis ground.
The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a
second time after disarming. Because the vehicle you are working on requires a positive pulse from the factory
door lock switch to the factory door lock control relay , you will have to add a relay to invert the output polarity
of this wire. Connect the Red/Black wire to terminal 86 of the optional added relay . Connect terminal 85 & 87
to a fuse + 12 volt source. Connect terminal 30 to the low current door unlock wire from the factory door switch
to the door unlock control relay .

TIMED ST ART PROGRAM:
The Remote Start unit has the ability to start the vehicle automatically at timed intervals. This feature is
useful in extremely cold climates where starting the engine is the only means to keep the battery charged
and fluids warm. The operator has the option to have the unit start every 2 or 4 hours for a maximum of 48
hours. Factory pre-set is to start at 4 hour intervals. To select 2 or 4 hour automatic start timer:
1. Start with the Enable switch (Red Handle) in the "On" Position.
2. Turn the ignition on then off.
3. Within 10 seconds of the key turning off, cycle the enable switch Off, On, Off, On ( 2 times) to select a
2 hour timed start interval. Cycle the enable switch Off, On, Off, On, Off, On, Off, On (4 times) to select
17
a 4 hour timed start interval. The lights will flash and the siren will chirp 2X or 4X dependant upon 2 or 4 hour
interval setting.
NOTE: Once selected, 2 or 4, this timer interval will remain in memory until it is manually changed. To
change, the above sequence will have to be followed.
TIMED ST ART OPERA TION:
To begin the start timer, within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition switch, activate the RF command to
start 2 times. (Press the trunk/key button four times). The lights will flash and the siren will chirp 4 times.

NOTE: When selecting Diesel operation, (Feature Nine), over gasoline, the only change is to the ignition
circuits. When Diesel is selected, the ignition circuits will power up 10, 15, or 20 seconds before
the start circuit. The intent of this feature is to allow the glow plug warming required by some diesel
engines. If your vehicle is a instant start diesel, it is not necessary to activate this feature.
NOTE: When selecting Diesel mode, be certain that the intended vehicle has a true tach reference and be
certain to connect the tach input wire.
To Program The Remote Start Selectable Features:
1. Turn the ignition key to the On position.
2. Press and release the valet/program switch three times.
3. Immediately turn the ignition key Off then press transmitter trunk/key button for 1 second.
4. Immediately turn the ignition key back On.
5. Press and release the valet/program switch two times. The siren will emit 2 short and 1 long chirp
verifying you are in the feature program mode.
6. Use channel 1 button on the transmitter to advance to the feature you want to change. EXAMPLE- If you
need to change selectable feature 3, press and release channel 1 button on the transmitter 3 times in
succession. The parking lights will flash, and the siren will chirp 3 times confirming that selected feature
3 can be changed.
7. Use the trunk/key button on the transmitter to change the selection of the programmable feature. If you
are not sure what the setting for any feature is, press the trunk/key button one time, the parking lights
will flash one, two, three or four times indicating the features setting.
NOTE: Once you've entered the program mode DO NOT allow more than 15 seconds to pass between
steps, or the programming mode will be terminated.
Programming Tach Rate:
NOTE: All applications require that tach be programmed.
The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed. If an attempt is made to start the vehicle via the remote
start without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating tach has not been
learned and stored. If the tach rate is not properly programmed to the specific vehicle, the unit may not realize
that the vehicle is running in certain instances reengage the starter motor.
18
The Remote Start Unit will learn the tach rate of most vehicle's single coil, multiple coil packs, or single
injector. To learn tach.
1. Turn the ignition key to the On position.
2. Press and release the valet/program push-button switch 3 times.
3. Immediately turn the ignition key Off.
4. Press and hold the valet/program push-button switch, then start the vehicle using the key .
5. When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash.
6. Release the valet/program push-button, The parking lights will turn on for three seconds to indicate that the
learned tach signal is stored and the unit is out of the tach learn mode.
NOTE: If the unit fails to learn tach rate due to an improper tachometer connection or a poor tach source, the
parking lights will not flash.
T o correct this situation, locate and connect the Green/Orange wire to the proper tach signal, and then repeat
the tach learn routine.
Diagnostics:
Enter selectable feature #7 and turn on as described above.
NOTE: Diagnostic mode is a temporary mode. Once you have accessed the diagnostic mode, the unit will
pause for two seconds then begin to flash the last stored shut down code. This code will be displayed
two times in succession, then the unit will automatically exit the diagnostic on mode.
The parking lights will flash a number of times indicating the reason for the last remote start shutdown. The
light flash indications are as follows:
1 FlashRun timer expired
2 FlashesLow or no tach signal (RPM)
3 FlashesPositive or Negative inhibit wire activation
4 FlashesControl switch moved to the off position
5 FlashesRF shutdown, Remote signal received, or manual start trigger wire reactivated.
6 FlashesHigh tach signal (RPM)
7 FlashesT ach signal has not been learned
Multi Coil Pack Adaptor: (Optional)
The multi coil pack adaptor is designed for use with vehicles having multiple ignition coils where a single point
tach signal is unavailable, or non responsive. P/N 136B1400
T o use the adaptor , the Green/Black wires must connect to the negative side of the ignition coil(s).
1. For vehicles utilizing independent coils per cylinder, connect the three Green/Black leads to alternate
coils. T o achieve optimum performance the coil signals must be evenly distributed. This is accomplished
by first mapping out the firing order of the engine in groups of as indicated below. Draw a circle around any
of the columns. The Green/Black wires should be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the respective
cylinder number which appears in any of the circles.
2. For vehicles utilizing 2 cylinder firing per coil pack, connect Green/Black to the tach side of each coil pack.
For 8 cylinder, four coil systems, connect to any of the three coils.
3. Connect the Y ellow wire to a +12 volt ignition 1 source. This wire will have +12 volts with the ignition in the
on and start position and have 0 volts with the ignition in the off position.
4. Connect the Green wire to the (Green) or (Orange/Green) tach input of the Audiovox remote start unit.

TESTING YOUR INST ALLATION:
CAUTION!! The following procedure must be performed after the installation of an Audiovox Remote Start
Device. It is the responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the unit in
the following manner may result in personal injury, property damage, or both.
HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN:
The intention of the hood pin safety shut down is to prevent the Remote Start unit from being activated while
a mechanic or vehicle owner is performing normal routine vehicle maintenance.
To test the integrity of this circuit:
1. With the drivers window in the down position, start the vehicle using the RF transmitter.
2. Reach inside the car and pull the hood release.
3. Raise the hood and confirm that the remote start unit shuts down.
If the unit fails this test, recheck your pin switch connection to the Gray/Black wire of the Audiovox Remote
Start Unit.
DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE
OPERA TION OF THE HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEATURE.
MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE CIRCUIT :
The intent of the manual shut down / enable circuit is to allow the vehicle operator to prevent operation of the
Remote Start Unit regardless of the RF transmitter operation.
To test the integrity of the manual shut down / enable circuit:
1. Place the control switch in the on (Closed T o Ground) position.
2. Start the vehicle using the RF transmitter.
3. The vehicle should start and run under the control of the remote start unit.
4. Move the switch to the off (Open From Ground) position, the vehicle should shut off.
If the unit fails this test, recheck your enable switch connection to the Ground and the Black/White wire of the
Audiovox Remote Start Unit. If you have a plug in enable switch, check that the two pin connector is firmly
seated in the mating connector on the control module.
DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE
OPERA TION OF THE MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE FEA TURE.
NEUTRAL ST ART SAFETY TEST :
The intent of the neutral start switch is to prevent the vehicle from starting while the gear selector is in any
position other than Park, or Neutral. When installing a Remote Start Device, it is imperative that the Y ellow
Starter wire be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. Consideration for the
placement of a starter inhibit relay is important as well, and should be connected to the ignition switch side
of the Y ellow Start Wire.
To test the integrity of the Neutral Start Safety Circuit:
1. Set the vehicle parking brake.
2. Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
3. T emporarily disconnect the Brown/Black positive shut down wire from the vehicle's brake switch.
4. Sitting in the vehicle, start the engine using the vehicle's ignition key .
5. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into reverse.
6. Allow the transmission to shift. When you feel the engine pull, do not move the gear selector just turn the
ignition switch off. DO NOT attempt to remove the key .
20
7. Keeping the brake pedal depressed, activate the RF transmitter in an attempt to start the vehicle. The
car should not start.
8. Repeat the above test this time move the gear selector to the drive position. If the unit attempts to start,
failing this test, recheck your Y ellow Wire's connection. This wire must be connected to the ignition switch
side of the Neutral Start Switch. If the vehicle you are working on does not have an Electrical Neutral
Safety Switch, it will be necessary to reconfigure the Remote Starts Wiring to accommodate this vehicle.
The information concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch provided below will help you to determine if the vehicle you are working on has this type of safety switch and will provide alternate wiring
methods to accommodate this situation.
MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS:
Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the same level of safety
when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch is turned off while the gear selector is in
any position other than park or neutral, the mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the start
position or be removed from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation while the
vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of this potential problem, this
installation requires the additional connection of a safety wire from the remote start device to the vehicle Park/
Neutral ECM Input or the vehicle key in sensor. This connection will prevent remote start operation if the key
is left in the ignition switch regardless of the gear selectors position.
P ARK / NEUTRAL ECM INPUT :
The Park / Neutral ECM input is the preferred method of installation. This not only maintains the integrity of
the factory circuit, it is also the easiest to install, providing the vehicle you are working on has this ECM input.
The installation required for this application (shown below), indicates the slight reconfiguration of the control
switch wiring and the addition of a 4000 series diode. Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral ECM input circuit.
To connect the Audiovox remote start unit to the GM Park / Neutral ECM input:
1. Locate the Orange / Black reference wire in the "C2" connector found at the ECM in GM B Body vehicles
or, locate the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are installing the Audiovox Remote Start Unit in.
2. Connect the Cathode, (Striped) end, of a 4000 series diode to this reference wire.
3. Connect the Anode, (Non Striped) end, of the diode to one side of the Remote Start enable switch.
4. Connect the other side of the enable switch to the Black/White enable input wire of the Remote Start unit.
The reference diagram below shows a typical GM B Body ECM reference wire and how it is to be connected
to the Remote Start Unit.
CAUTION!

DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERA TION
OF THE NEUTRAL SAFETY ST ART FEATURE.
KEY IN SENSOR CIRCUITS:
If the vehicle you are working on does not have or you cannot locate the ECM reference wire, there are two
alternatives available. Although not preferred, the vehicle Key In Sensor may be reconfigured to allow a margin
of safety and will prevent the vehicle with a Mechanical Neutral Start Switch from starting in gear.
AUDIOVOX ADVISES THA T YOU MAINTAIN THE F ACTOR Y CIRCUIT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. The following two circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.
NOTE: When completing an installation using either of the following key in sensor circuits, if the operator
inserts the ignition key while the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start, the vehicle
will shut down. This must be explained to the operator as it is in contrast to the normal operation of
a vehicle utilizing an electrical neutral start switch and is inconsistent with the operators manual.
Additional information concerning Key In Sensor methods 1 & 2 are listed below and should be reviewed
before considering either alternative.
Method 1 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while in
any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, if the key is left in the
ignition switch and the door is left opened, the added relay will be energized causing a 150mA drain on the
battery .
Method 2 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while in
any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder however, the original factory key in
chime module will not alert the owner that the key has been left in the ignition switch. In addition, this may
also effect other warning tones such as the light on reminder .
These situations should be carefully considered before altering the vehicle's wiring and must be fully explained
to the consumer.
METHOD 1
To connect to the key in sensor as shown in method 1:
A. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.
B. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.
C. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder .
D. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to terminal 30 of a P&B VF45F1 1 or equivalent relay .
E. Connect the cathode (striped) side of a 4002 series diode to this same wire, and connect the (non striped)
side to the negative shut down safety wire (Gray / Black) of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit.
F. Connect terminal 86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt constant battery source.
G. Connect terminal 87 of the relay to the Chime Module side of the previously cut wire in step D.
H. Connect terminal 85 of the relay to the Drivers Door side of the pin switch wire previously cut in step B.
NOTE: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down
circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non Striped)
side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode (Striped) side
must be connected to the hood pin switch. If the hood pin switch is also used for an alarm trigger input,
be certain to use the dual diode assembly packaged with the Audiovox Remote Start Unit as shown in
this installation guide. (Page 9)
22
METHOD 2
To connect to the key in sensor circuit as shown for method 2:
A. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch.
B. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground.
C. Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder .
D. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to the Remote Start Negative Safety Shut down Wire
Gray/Black, using a 4002 series diode as shown above.
NOTE: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down
circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non
Striped) side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode
(Striped) side must be connected to the hood pin switch. If the hood pin switch is also used for an
alarm trigger input, be certain to use the dual diode assembly packaged with the Audiovox Remote
Start Unit as shown in this installation guide. (Page 9)
AFTER THE CONNECTION OF THE NEUTRAL ST ART SAFETY WIRE AS INDICA TED IN ANY OF THE
