The PRO-9171FT is for Automatic Transmission vehicles only! Although it is a sophisticated system, with multiple built-in safety features, it must not be installed into vehicles with manual transmissions. Doing this can cause serious personal injury and property damage. IMPORTANT ! DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE 12 PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE REMOTE START CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE.
LIGHT GREEN Wire : Ignition 2 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 Volts when the ignition key is turned to the “ RUN or ON “ position, and in some cases, the “ START or CRANK “ position. This wire will show 0 Volts when the key is turned to the “ OFF “ and “ ACCESSORY “ positions. NOTE: The PRO-9171FT ignition 2 output can be programmed to remain ON while the starter is cranking.
This wire provides a 500 mA + 12 Volt transistorized output when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, and 0 Volts when the ignition key is “OFF” and when the vehicle is running under the control of the remote starter. This wire should be connected to the ignition input of the alarm system. The Yellow w/ Black wire output will allow you to remote start the vehicle while leaving the alarm armed.
DARK GREEN Wire: Tach Sensor Input This wire will continually monitor the tach rate while the engine is running under power supplied by the Remote Starter. This wire will be routed through the fire wall into the engine compartment. It is necessary to use an existing grommet when passing wires through the fire wall to prevent short circuiting. Connect this wire to the existing tach wire, or the negative side of the ignition coil in the vehicle. (See RF Program Settings).

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 placement of a starter inhibit relay is important as well, and should be connected to the ignition switch side of the Yellow Start Wire.
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 following two circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.
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.
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 a dual diode assembly as shown in the diagram above.
