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 PIN SWITCH:  
The pin switch included in this package is intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle. In all cases, the  
switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated, (hood 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 switch in a location away  
from water drain paths. If necessary, an optional bracket 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 to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood 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.  
THE PUSH-BUTTON / LED / RECEIVER / ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:  
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 metal-  
lic 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 its gummed surface. Route the 6 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.

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 or trunk pin  
switch or 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.

Light Blue Wire: Ignition 3 Output  
This wire provides a 300 mAground 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  
Gray w/ Black Trace Wire: Negative Inhibit Input  
The Gray w/ Black Trace wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control Module whenever  
it is grounded. Connect the Gray 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  
whenever 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  
depressed. 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.

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 500 mS later  
thestarterwillengage. ThiswirecanalsobeconnectedtotheGlowPlugBulbwireinthevehicleifthisbulb  
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: IftheGlowPlugsensewire, Green/Yellowisconnected, thiswirewillhavepriorityoverthesettingof  
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".

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.

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 it 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 300 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 300 mA.  
3 Pin Auxiliary Outputs 5, 6, & 7  
Lt Blue/Green Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 5  
The light blue/green wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This  
is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.  
WARNING: Connecting the light blue/green to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits,  
some remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.  
Connect the light blue/green to terminal 86 of theAS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30Aautomotive relay) and wire  
the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 5.  
Lt Blue/Black Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 6  
The light blue/green wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This  
is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.  
WARNING: Connecting the light blue/black to the high current circuits will damage the control module.  
Connect the light blue/black to terminal 86 of theAS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30Aautomotive relay) and wire  
the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 6.  
Blue/Red Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 7  
The light blue/red wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is  
a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.  
WARNING: Connecting the light blue/red to the high current circuits will damage the control module.  
Connect the light blue/red to terminal 86 of theAS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30Aautomotive relay) and wire  
the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 7.  
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 (bypassed).  
Once the remote start shuts down, the shock sensor will be re-enabled.

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 operates,  
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.  
5 Wire Antenna/Receiver PB/LED Connector:  
Plug the previously routed antenna connector from the antenna receiver assemble into the mating connector  
of the control module. This connector supplies 12 volts, ground and RF data inputt, LED cathode, and Valet  
Enable to and from the antenna receiver and 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 300 mA. 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.  
The Green wire of the door lock harness provides a ground pulse during the disarming sequence, or pulsed  
ground unlock output. Connect the Green wire to the low current ground signal wire from the factory door  
unlock switch to the factory door unlock relay. See Below For Wiring Detail.

3 Wire Positive Switched Door Lock/Unlock Wiring Detail  
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  
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 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. 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 fused +12 volt source. Connect terminal 30 to the low current door unlock wire from the factory  
door switch to the door unlock control relay.

3a. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch off, Release and then Push On and release the  
Pushbutton Switch 2 times holding it on the second time until the siren and or lights flash and chirp 2  
times indicating that the 2 Hour Start Interval has successfully been set. or  
3b. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch off, (Step 2) Release and then Push On and release  
the Pushbutton Switch 4 times holding it on the fourth time until the siren and or lights flash and chirp  
4 times indicating that the 4 Hour Start Interval has successfully been set.  
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 START OPERATION:  
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.  
Indicating timed interval mode has been initiated. The vehicle will automatically start every 2 or 4 hours as  
programmed. To cancel the timed start mode start the vehicle either by RF or by the ignition key.  
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.  
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 pushbutton switch. 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.  
To 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 Flash  
5, 10, 15, or 20, minute run timer expired.  
2Flashes Low or No tach signal received.  
3Flashes Positive input shut down.  
4Flashes Control switch was moved to "Off" position.  
5Flashes RFShutdowncommandreceived.  
6Flashes High RPM signal over speed shut down.  
7Flashes TachhasNOTlearned.  
8Flashes Negativeinputshutdown.  
Multi Coil Pack Adaptor: (Optional)  
The multi coil pack adapter, is designed for use with vehicles that do not respond to single coil tach  
programming. Although the tach resolution of this circuit is designed to interface direct with most vehicles,  
there may be an occasion where the following circuit may be required. Construct the adaptor as shown  
below.  
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 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  
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.  
1. With the system disarmed/unlocked, and the ignition switch off Press and Hold the pushbutton switch  
located on the receiver unit on.  
2. Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.  
3. The LED begins to flash two short flashes followed by one long flashes and continues this pattern until  
returned to normal mode of operation.  
This puts the unit into the R/S Override mode indicating that the remote start is in the service mode and  
will not start from RF or any other input Posse or otherwise.  
To Exit R/S Override Mode:  
1. With the system disarmed, Press and Hold the pushbutton switch located on the receiver unit on.  
2. Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.  
3. The LED turns off indicating that the R/S unit is fully functional one again.  
DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE  
OPERATION OF THE MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE FEATURE.  
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.  
MECHANICAL NEUTRALSAFETY 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.  
CAUTION!  
REMEMBER TO RECONNECT THE BROWN/BLACK WIRE TEMPORARILY  
DISCONNECTED IN STEP 3  
DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF  
THE NEUTRAL SAFETY START 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 THAT YOU MAINTAIN THE FACTORY CIRCUIT 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 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 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 set up shown earlier in this manual.

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:
