7-BUTTON AUTOMATIC/MANUAL

TRANSMISSION REMOTE STARTER

WITH VIRTUAL TACH SYSTEM

(AS PRG-1000 COMPATIBLE)

Notice

The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any electrical damage resulting from improper installation of the product, be that either

damage to the vehicle itself or to the unit. This unit must be installed by a certified technician using all safety devices supplied. Please

note that this guide has been written for properly trained Autostart technicians: a certain level of skills and knowledge is therefore

assumed. Please review the installation guide carefully before beginning any work.

Warning

Before installing the unit, if installing on a vehicle with a manual transmission, test that the OEM Door Switch contacts of the vehicle work

well, and that the Parking Brake system operates properly. If installing on a vehicle with an automatic transmission, test that the vehicle

does not start when the gearshift lever is in the “Drive” position. If it starts in gear, install a manual-transmission remote starter system

instead.

Entering Programming Mode

Using the Hood Pin

x Press and hold the hood pin for 4 seconds.

x Release the hood pin.

The parking lights will turn ON.

x While the parking lights are ON, press the hood pin once more and release immediately.

The parking lights will turn ON and stay ON for 20 seconds.

Manual or Automatic Transmission

This module may be installed on vehicles with manual or automatic transmissions. It is originally configured for manual

transmissions. If the vehicle you are working on is automatic, it is mandatory to make a few quick and easy modifications before

the unit is connected. In the event that the configuration requires changes afterwards, a complete reset will be

necessary before those changes become effective.

To install this unit in a vehicle with a manual transmission:

x Make sure the Yellow loop on the PC board is connected.

x Connect the Orange handbrake wire located on the 12-pin harness to the vehicle handbrake switch.

x Connect the Blue/White (+) door input OR

the Grey (-) door input wire located on the 12-pin harness to the vehicle door

pin wire, which monitors all the doors of the vehicle (only use 1 of the 2 door trigger inputs).

x Make sure the Purple TACH wire is plugged in – the TACH wire MUST be hooked up when the module is set for a

manual transmission.

x Make all your regular connections.

x Power up the unit by first inserting the 5-pin connector, then the 6-pin connector and finally the 12-pin connector. The

parking lights will flash 4 times.

P. 8 http://www.autostart.ca Quick Installation Guide

The system will exit ready mode if a door, the hood or the trunk is opened, if the brake pedal is pressed, if the parking

brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the Ignition On (Run) position.

 Remote-start the engine and listen for starter drag. If the starter cranks for too long, carry out another tach

programming procedure.

 Hood switch shutdown. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, open the hood; the vehicle should shut

down. If it does not shut down, check the hood pin-switch and its connector.

 Brakes shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, press and release the brake pedal. The

engine should shut down immediately. If it continues to run, check the brakes switch connection.

 Parking brake shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under remote start, disengage the parking brake. The engine

should shut down immediately. If the engine continues to run, check the parking brake switch connection.

 OEM alarm control. Make sure the module is able to arm and disarm the oem alarm (if applicable).

 Door locks and trunk testing. Make sure each of these options respond to the transmitter (if installed).

 Door pin shutdown circuit. Make sure the system exits ready mode when each door is opened. (Test each door.)

 Starter kill option. Sit inside the vehicle with all doors closed. Arm the vehicle, then try to start the engine with the key.

The engine should not start. If the engine starts, rewire the starter kill to reach proper operation.

 Valet mode. Make sure the remote car starter is able to properly enter and exit valet mode. When setting the remote car

starter into valet mode, pressing the lock button will lock the doors without activating the starter kill. (Refer to the user

guide for further information on valet mode.)

 Idle mode. Make sure the vehicle properly enters and exits idle mode.

 Door and Trunk trigger. Make sure that when the system is armed, opening any door or opening the trunk will trigger the

alarm (if installed).

 Hood trigger. Make sure that when the system is armed, opening the hood will trigger the alarm.

 Shock and warn-away trigger. Make sure that the shock works well and is not too sensitive so that it unnecessarily

triggers the alarm.

 Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs. Take the time to

properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the premises. Doing this will save

time and money.
