PR PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
BEFORE BEGINNING, check all vehicle manufacturer cautions and warnings regarding electrical service (AIR BAGS, ABS
BRAKES, ENGINE / BODY COMPUTER AND BATTERY).
PLAN OUT YOUR INSTALLATION. You should pre-determine the location of the Control Module (Brain), Valet button,
LED, and Siren locations. This will save time and ease the installation process.
USE VOLT/OHM METER to test and locate all connections. Test Lights or Lighted Probes could possibly damage a
vehicle’s computer system or cause an airbag to deploy.
ADDITIONAL PARTS, that are not included with this unit, may be needed for your particular vehicle. These items may
include extra relays, Door Lock Interface Modules, or Transponder Override modules.

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!!
DO NOT remote start your vehicle in a closed garage. Make sure that the garage door is open or there is adequate
ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon Monoxide fumes.
DO NOT ROUTE ANY WIRING THAT MAY BECOME ENTANGLED with the brake/gas pedals, steering column, or
any other moving parts in the vehicle.
REMOVE MAIN SYSTEM FUSE(S) before jump-starting the vehicle or charging the battery at high boost. DAMAGE
MAY OCCUR TO SYSTEM IF PROPER PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.
DO NOT exceed the rated output current of any circuit on the Remote start module. Failure to observe this warning
will result in damage to the unit. Output currents are listed where applicable throughout this manual.
DO NOT extend the Remote start ignition harness length. Mount the module so that main harness reaches all
ignition switch wiring. Extending these wires could result in poor performance.
COMPONENT MOUNTING
CONTROL MODULE: The alarm control module should be mounted in a concealed location. DO NOT mount the
control unit in the engine compartment. Fasten the module to a bracket or wire harness using the cable ties
provided.
SIREN MOUNTING: Mount the siren under the hood to fender-well or other body surface with the open end facing
downward. Run the red siren wire through the firewall using a rubber grommet. Ground the black wire to the body
metal near the siren.

WIRING: 5-PIN Connector (Trigger Inputs)
Violet: (+) Door Pin Switch Input
Same as the GREEN wire below except this wire is used for vehicles that show a positive voltage (+12 volts) when
the door is open and a ground when doors are closed as in many Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.
Green: (-) Door Pin Switch Input
Identify the wire that reads ground when any door is open and 12 volts when all doors are closed. Some vehicles
may have isolated door triggers. In this case you may need to run additional wires from other doors or go directly to
the wire that triggers the vehicle’s interior dome light. Sometimes newer vehicles contain a separate body control
module (BCM) where the door trigger circuit can be located. Most vehicles will NOT require the use of BOTH Green
and Violet door trigger wires.
Blue: (-) Hood/Trunk Pin Switch Input
Input trigger for a grounding hood or trunk pin switch. Connect to existing hood and trunk pin switches that read
ground when open. If no existing switches are available, install new pin switches if desired. Note: DO NOT mount
new pin switches in water pathways.
Pink: (+12V) +/- Diesel Glow Plug Input or Passive Carjack Input (Programmable Input Wire)
+/- Trigger: See diagram (Pg. 29) for Jumper Pin Configuration.
+/- Glow Plug Input (Diesel Vehicles Only)
Connect Pink wire to indicator circuit that shows a (- or +) Signal while the “WAIT TO START LAMP” is on.
When this wire is used, the system will wait until light turns off before attempting a remote start.
Passive Carjack Trigger
When using Carjack protection, connect this Pink wire to a (+ or -) toggle switch, or +12V ignition source
depending on your level of Carjack protection. When +12V is applied to this wire with the IGN on, then Carjack
is armed. If a door is opened then closed with ignition on, the Carjack countdown will begin. See Diagram
Below for wiring configurations. DO NOT connect the Pink Carjack wire to Ignition unless there is extreme
danger of a Carjack. When using the Ignition, Carjack is armed all the time and must be reset each time a
door is opened and closed.

Crimestopper Door Lock Accessories:
POWER DOOR LOCKS: WIRING & SYSTEM TYPES
PIN 1: BLUE: (-) Negative pulse for UNLOCK
PIN 2: RED: 12V When using external relays (TERM 86)
PIN 3: GREEN: (-) Negative pulse for LOCK
DETERMINING DOOR LOCK TYPE: We recommend
determining the type of locking system the vehicle has
before connecting any wires. Incorrect connection may
result in damage to the alarm and/or vehicle locking system.
Door lock information is provided as a guide. Your vehicle may be different.
Negative Trigger (-): Many Imports; Late model Ford & General Motors
Negative trigger door lock systems send a Negative (Ground) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the
vehicle doors.
Positive Trigger (+): Many General Motors; Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth
Positive trigger door lock systems send a Positive (12V) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the
vehicle doors.
Reverse Polarity: Many Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth and early 90’s GM Trucks
Reverse Polarity systems use no relays, but instead the door lock/unlock motors are controlled directly from the lock
and unlock switches in the door. The lock and unlock wires rest at Negative Ground when not in use. When the
lock or unlock button is pressed, one of the circuits is “Lifted” and replaced with +12V causing a lock or unlock to
occur.
Single Wire (Dual Voltage): Late model Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Vehicles, some 2000-UP GM
Dual Voltage systems have lock/unlock switches that send varying levels of Positive voltage OR Negative ground
current to the SAME wire for both lock and unlock. When the vehicle’s Body Computer Module (BCM) or door lock
module senses different voltages on this wire, the system will either lock or unlock. Single wire door lock systems
require relays and resistors.
Databus Systems 2003-UP GM Trucks & SUV’s, ‘96-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Databus systems send low current “Data messages” to the door lock controllers on a network in order to lock and
unlock the vehicle. To install aftermarket systems in these vehicles, an interface module is required that converts
the regular lock/unlock pulses into “Data messages” to allow locking & unlocking. Interface modules are sold
separately.

CS-6600DLM: Dual-relay plug-in module for Reverse
Polarity, Positive, or Aftermarket Motors.
CS-6500DLI: Plug-in pulse inverter that converts the
Negative outputs of the system to Positive type for Positive
Door Lock systems.

TACHLESS MODE
Your system includes a Tach-less mode that actively monitors and compares the vehicle’s resting voltage versus its
running voltage each time a remote start is performed; [instead of the conventional tach-pulse method]. Smart
Tachless mode adjusts automatically to maintain optimum efficiency over the life of the installation.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
(1) SETUP may be required for the Tachless Mode. If your vehicle has NOT been at rest for a period of time (Hot
engine), then you must drain the surface charge from the battery. Unplug main power harness from system, turn
HEADLIGHTS ON for 4 minutes to drain off excess surface charge on vehicle’s battery then reconnect.
(2) On the rare occasion that Tachless mode does not operate satisfactorily, change the voltage reference level as
described below, or use a different mode such as “Tach Reference” mode, or “Timed Crank” mode.
TACHLESS ADJUSTMENT:
In the event Tachless over-cranks or under-cranks your starter, the settings can be changed. The purpose of
adjusting the “Smart Tachless” Mode is to raise or lower the voltage reference threshold from the 93% default point.
Raising or lowering this 93% point should increase or decrease your cranking time respectively. You can adjust the
range from 79% to 100% in one percent increments. Factory default setting [starting point] is in the middle at 93%
which should work for most vehicles. If you feel you need to fine tune the Tachless mode, then follow the steps
below to adjust its reference level.
1. Open hood (or ground the Blue hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed)
2. Turn the key to the ON position (do not start vehicle).
3. Press program button 5 times, after a few seconds the unit will flash the lights 5 times.
4. Carefully press the program button 24 times to get to option # 24. You must get a light flash after each press. If
the lights didn’t flash, then the unit did not register your button press. Only count the light flash.
5. Press the Lock Button #1 on the remote to decrease by 1% (lights will flash 1X for each press); Press the Unlock
Button #2 to increase by 1% (lights will flash 2X for each press); Press the Trunk Button #3 to reset to 93% (lights
will flash 3X). The unit will stop providing light flashes when you reach the bottom (79%) or the top (100%) of the
adjustment range. If you lost track, then just press Button #3 to reset back to 93% and begin again.
6. Turn Ignition OFF, Close hood (or un-ground the Blue wire) and check operation.
