-The system must be placed into Service Mode before any service work is started on the
vehicle. It is the sole responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure that this is done. The
manufacturer accepts no liability or responsibility for accidental starting of the vehicle.

- CARBON MONOXIDE - Never Start in an Enclosed Building (Garage, Carport etc...)

- The Hood Pin Safety Switch Must Always be Installed!

Recommended Pre-Installation Procedures

Remote car starters and alarms should be professionally installed.

Review the installation and owner manuals and acquire a vehicle wiring diagram for the
vehicle to be worked on. Take a few moments to walk around the vehicle looking for
any damages and make note if any are found. Also check other functions such as
vehicle lighting system, warning lights or check engine lights. Check if the vehicle has a
factory security or anti-theft. (Transponder or PASS-LOCK system) These systems will
require additional parts and labor to complete the installation. Use of the proper tools
and testing equipment is also very important. Never use a grounding style test light to
test for wires in the vehicle. Use only a Circuit Safe test light or digital Volt/Ohm Meter.
It is the sole responsibility of the installer to test and verify all connections

Note: This remote starter system is designed for fuel injected and diesel engines.

If the vehicle is a manual transmission, a “M” series remote starter must be
installed. Any model number followed by the letter “M” is specially designed for
manual transmission vehicles. The “M” series remote starter will not work in an
automatic transmission vehicle.

Recommended Installation Procedures

Proper Connections - Remote Starters can handle loads of up to 30 amps for

extended periods of time. It is critical to insure that all high current connections are
properly soldered and insulated with quality electrical tape. Failing to insure proper
connections will result in warranty being VOID and can result in damage to the vehicle
and remote starter module. The manufacturer is not responsible for any such damages.
It only takes a few more minutes to do the job right.

Under Hood Connections - Route the hood pin and tach wire through the firewall
into the engine compartment. If possible route the wires through a factory rubber

grommet. If drilling a hole through the firewall, BE CAREFUL. Always check for
obstructions on both sides of the firewall. After drilling, use a snap in grommet to protect
the wires from sharp edges. Use split loom to insulate the wires, route the wires clear
of moving parts and extreme heat. The hood pin switch must always be installed and
the tach wire should always be soldered and taped properly.

Installing the External Long Range Antenna -

To insure the best possible reception, place the antenna in the center of the windshield
below the tint screen and behind the rear view mirror. Before attaching to the glass
ensure that the surface is clean and dry. Run the cable under the head liner and behind
the A-pillar panel. Be careful not to pinch the antenna cable. Plug the antenna into the
BLUE connector on the Control Module.

Mounting The Control Module -

Never mount the module in the engine compartment. Select a location under the dash
to install the main module. Be certain that the module is securely attached and does not
obstruct any serviceable areas. Do not force or jam the module into tight places instead
of mounting. The module must be free from all moving parts such as brake, clutch and
gas pedal linkages. Do not place the module directly in front of a heater vent.

Testing The System - When the installation is complete, it will be necessary to test
that the system is working correctly. The system’s default programming will work on the

majority of vehicles, but might need to be adjusted for some applications. If the
installation requires special timing or additional features, proceed to Program Mode.
The system must be Tach Learned (Tachless learned on Tachless models) before the
remote starter will make a start attempt. If the remote starter does not make a start
attempt check if the park lights are flashing a diagnostic code, if so look the code up in
the Diagnostic Chart to find the shutdown input that is preventing the system from
starting. If the vehicle does make a start attempt but fails to start. Check all connections
and insure that all wiring is connected correctly. The vehicle may be equipped with a
factory anti-theft system. Vehicles equipped with factory anti-theft systems will usually
have some sort of Security or Anti-Theft light located in the instrument cluster.

*The default output of the Green wire is Negative Horn Output. The auxiliary
outputs must be programmed on before they will operate.

Jumper Selections - Back View

The jumpers control the output from the White wire on the 6- pin harness. This is
a 30amp relayed output. To change the output of the wire access the jumpers by
sliding the plastic cover off the top of the case. Move the jumper to one of the
following positions.

If the jumper is in position #1 the output on the white wire will be 2nd Starter
If the jumper is in position #2 the output on the white wire will be 2nd Accessory
If the jumper is in position #3 the output on the white wire will be 2nd Ignition

Note: The factory default setting of the selectable output jumper is position
#3 second ignition output.

If the Temperature Sensor is installed the Cold Start Mode will operate by
monitoring temperate. If the sensor is not installed the Cold Start Mode will
function as Timer Mode. The temperature sensor can be installed under the
hood strapped to the radiator hose to monitor coolant temperature or left
mounted under the dash to monitor ambient air temperature.
