This Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission Vehicles 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). If 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.  
INSTALLATION 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 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.  
PUSHBUTTON LED SWITCH  
Select a mounting location known and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A dash knockout plug or  
front dash panel is desirable as the now Push-Button LED assembly needs the LED to be visible from the  
outside of the vehicle and will be used for valet modes, programming features, programming transmitters, and  
for overriding the remote start unit when the vehicle is being serviced. 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 5/16" or 8mm hole in the desired location and mount the switch  
by passing the connectors, one at a time, through the panel from the front side and pressing on the bezel until  
the switch is fully seated.

THE RECEIVER/ANTENNAASSEMBLY:  
The Superheterodyne ReceiverAntennaAssembly 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 with tape, 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.  
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.  
STARTER INHIBIT RELAY:  
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.  
This system 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 MUST NOT be installed  
into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and  
property damage.

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 Neu-  
tral 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 Yellow 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 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.  
Note: For vehicles with interior delay lighting see programming under title "Completing The Installation".  
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 VATS Key Override:  
If the vehicle has the General Motors VATS system installed, you will need to bypass the system while  
the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start Unit. To 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 VATS control module.  
NOTE: These wires are typically White w/ Black trace and Violet w/ Yellow trace, however in later model  
Cadillacs, they are run through an orange sleeve, and are either both Black, both Yellow, 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 theAudiovoxAS-PASS II Module.

Green w/ White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output  
This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max.) whenever the remote is used to disarm the  
alarm or to unlock the doors and provides a continuous pulsed output whenever the alarm is triggered. This  
wire should be connected to an external relay, and wired to the vehicles interior entry lighting whenever the  
optional Interior Illumination circuit is desired. See below for relay wiring details.  
Entry Illumination Detail  
Grey w/ Black Trace Wire: Negative Inhibit Input  
The Grey w/ Black Trace wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control Module whenever  
it is grounded. Connect the Grey w/ Black trace wire to the hood pin switch previously installed. This wire  
must be routed through a grommet in the firewall and connected to the hood pin switch. If the pin switch  
is to be used with an alarm system, connect this wire using the diode assembly provided.  
IMPORTANT! This connection is a safety wire and must be connected as shown and tested as specified.  
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. See detail of wiring in the following  
diagram. This wire may also be used if the vehicle brake light circuit switches ground to the brake lights.  
An isolation diode must be used for ground switched brake light circuits and must be connected to the  
output of the brake switch.

Orange Wire: Ground When Armed Output  
This wire provides a 300 mA ground output when the alarm circuit is armed to control the starter inhibit  
relay. Connect the Orange wire to terminal #86 (orange wire) of the relay provided. Connect terminal #85  
(red wire) of the relay to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to  
the on and start positions and off when the key is off. Locate and cut the low current start solenoid wire  
found at the vehicles ignition switch harness. This wire will have + 12 volts when the ignition key is moved  
to the start (crank) position and will have 0 volts in all other key positions. Connect one side of the cut wire  
to terminal #87a ( Black wire) of the relay. Connect the other side of the cut wire to terminal #30 (White/  
Black wire) of the relay. See below for detail of wiring, also see Yellow Start wire detail for connection to  
vehicle considerations.  
Starter Inhibit Wiring Detail

White/Black  
Brown w/ Black Trace Wire: Positive Inhibit Input  
The Brown w/ Black Trace wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control module when-  
ever it gets + 12 volts. If the Brake lights switch in the vehicle switches + 12 volts to the brake light circuit,  
connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output side of the brake switch. This will allow the Remote  
Start to shut down if an attempt is made to operate the vehicle without the key while running under the  
control of the Remote Start. In most vehicles, in order to shift into gear, the brake pedal must be de-  
pressed. The brake input will in turn cause the remote start unit to shut off. See detail in the following  
diagram for wiring the brake light circuit.

Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source  
Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be  
certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self taping screw and ring terminal.  
Chassis Ground Connection Detail  
Green w/ Orange Trace Wire: Tachometer Input Signal  
This wire will continually monitor the engine's 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  
Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input  
The Green/Yellow wire will connect to a diesel vehicles glow plug wire. When the unit receives a start command,  
this wire must go to + 12 then to ground to allow the crank sequence to begin. When ignition #1 is activated by the  
remote start unit, the glow plug circuit gets energized, (+ 12 volts), when the glow plug circuit of the vehicle drops  
the + 12 volts, which effectively grounds the wait to start input, then 500mS later the starter will engage. This wire  
can also be connected to the Glow Plug Bulb wire in the vehicle if this bulb wire gets + 12 volts when the ignition  
comes on and drops low when the glow plug circuits temperature is reached. Be sure to fuse the wire with a 1 Amp  
Fuse when connecting to a high current circuit such as a factory glow plug wire. The fuse should be installed as  
close to the high current wire as possible. If you are installing this unit in a Gasoline vehicle, this wire is not used.  
NOTE: If the Glow Plug sense wire, Green/Yellow is connected, this wire will have priority over the setting of feature  
Bank 3 Feature #11.  
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.  
Note: For vehicles with interior delay lighting see programming under title "Completing The Installation".

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 two. 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.  
Channel 3 Relay Wiring Detail  
Green w/ Black Trace Wire: 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 up to 8 seconds, 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 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 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.  
If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace wire to terminal 86 of theAS  
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.

the remote start unit engages or when the 785 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  
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/ Yellow Trace wire will provide a 300 mAground 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.  
3 Pin Auxiliary Outputs 5, 6, & 7  
Lt Blue/Green Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 5

2 Pin Transponder Control Output: (Yellow Connector)  
This output is intended to allow the control of a transponder bypass interface module or transponder  
bypass relay. The system also allows software selections to control the way in which this output oper-  
ates, see remote start feature # 10 for setting this output.  
When the unit is selected for output during the start sequence, this output will be active at the same time  
Ign. 3 becomes active, and will remain active until the vehicle has started. This will be used for one time  
read transponder circuits.  
When the unit is selected for transponder on, this output will become active at the same time ign. 3  
becomes active, and will remain active all the time the unit is operational under the control of the remote  
start. When the unit is selected for continuous and the vehicle is started via the Remote Start, this output  
will become active at the same time ign. 3 becomes active and will remain active until the ignition in the  
vehicle goes low. This will allow the unit to be used for continuous read transponders circuits.  
Push Button LED/Valet/Program/Override Switch: (Blue & White Connectors)  
The Black & Grey and the Red Blue twin lead wires loaded in the 2 two connector are the ground supply and  
program/valet/override input as well as anode & cathode of the PBLED switch for 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 indicated on the  
integral LED built into the switch. Route the twin lead Black and Grey and Red Blue wires from the PBLED  
switch to the remote start unit and plug both two pin connector into the mating blue and white connector shell  
of the control module. For valet, remote start override, and alarm 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 factory door  
lock switch to the factory door lock relay.

3 Wire Ground Switched 2 Step Door Locks  
In this application, the red wire provides a ground pulse during arming, or the pulsed ground lock output.  
Connect the red wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door lock switch to  
the factory door lock control relay.  
The green wire provides the first ground pulse during disarming, or the drivers door pulsed ground unlock  
output. Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current ground 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 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

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.

To 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. To 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 Yellow 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 theAudiovox remote start unit.  
TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION:  
CAUTION!! The following procedure must be performed after the installation of anAudiovox 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  
OPERATION 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 To 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.

NEUTRAL START 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 Yellow  
Starter wire be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. Consideration for the place-  
ment of a starter inhibit relay is important as well, and should be connected to the ignition switch side of the  
Yellow 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. Temporarily 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.  
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 Yellow 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.  
MECHANICALNEUTRAL 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.  
PARK / 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 theAudiovox 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 j 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.

REMEMBER TO RECONNECT THE BROWN/BLACK WIRE TEMPORARILY  
DISCONNECTED IN STEP 3  
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.  
AUDIOVOXADVISES THATYOU MAINTAIN THE FACTORYCIRCUIT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. The follow-  
ing 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 ex-  
plained to the consumer.  
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 VF45F11 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 under heading of hood switch.

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 under heading of hood switch.  
METHOD 2  
AFTER THE CONNECTION OF THE NEUTRAL START SAFETY WIRE AS INDICATED IN ANY OF THE  
PREVIOUS ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS, THIS CIRCUIT MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION.  
Retest by following the steps outlined in the NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST shown in this manual.  
4 Pin Upgrade Telematic Module:  
Red = + 5 Volts, Black = Ground, White = Data TX, Yellow = Data RX  
If used, connect the 4 pin harness from the Telematic one way module kit to the mating port on the controlling circuit.  
NOTE: If using the TWO WAY Telematic module, only Ground, TX, and RX are used on this port, the + 12 volt supply  
for the two way module must be sourced separately or the unit will not operate.  
4 Pin Upgrade Data Bus/Flash Logic Module:  
If you are using an Audiovox Flash Logic module, it can be connected directly to the Alarm/Remote Start's  
control module. Using the Blue 4 pin blue, red, black, & white harness and connect to the mating connector  
on the Alarm/Remote Start control module. Wire the Flash Logic/Data Bus module to the vehicle as pre-  
scribed in it's installation guide.  
NOTE: This unit has the ability to learn the dome light delay time, up to 60 seconds. If the vehicle has delay interior lights, and you  
wish to avoid three chirp, defect zone, indication normally associated with this type of interior light, we suggest you learn the  
interior light delay.  
To learn the light delay, start with all doors closed:  
(1) Use the transmitter to Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock, the system.  
The LED turns on solid to confirm the system entered the learn mode.  
(2) Immediately open and close the door of the vehicle to initiate the dome delay.  
The unit will monitor the door trigger input Positive, (Purple), and Negative, (Brown) when active.  
When the dome light turns off, the unit will add 2 seconds then exit the learn mode.  
(3) The LED will begin flashing the Armed indication indicating the unit has exited the learn mode and is armed.  
1. If you have not done so already, place the red rubber handle cover over the handle of the control switch for ease of identification.  
This will allow your customer to distinguish the Remote Start control switch from the program switch.  
2. Mount the control module up and behind the dash securing it in place with cable ties or screws. Be certain that the chosen  
mounting location will not inhibit any of the controls of the vehicle.  
3. Securely harness and tie all wiring up and away from all hot and moving parts that they may come in contact with under the dash  
board or in the engine compartment areas.  
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:  
After you have confirmed the operation of the Audiovox Remote Start unit and tested all the safety features of the system:
