. . IMPORTANT NOTICE Read the operation manual for operating and programming routine. Do not install any component near the brake, gas pedal or steering linkage. Most vehicles have an SRS air bag system. Use extreme care and do not probe any wires of the SRS system. These wires will almost always be located inside a bright yellow tube located near the steering wheel column. Check behind panels before drilling any holes.
. .
. . WIRING HARNESSES Keep all wiring away from moving engine parts, exhaust pipes and hightension cable. Tape wires that pass through holes on the firewall to prevent fraying. Watch out for sharp edges that may damage wires and cause short circuits. CAUTION: Do not connect the wire harness to the control module until all wiring to vehicle is complete.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS H1: 6-PIN HEAVY GAUGE WIRING CONNECTIONS: Remember that the system is designed to duplicate the same functions of the ignition key switch! Since this installation will require analysis of the ignition switch functions, we recommend making the H1 harness connections directly to the ignition switch wires. H1/1 VIOLET Wire(Starter Crank Output) Connect the VIOLET wire to the starter crank wire at the ignition switch harness.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS H1/6 BROWN Wire Accessory Output (Heater /AC Output) Connect the BROWN wire to the Accessory/Heater-Blower wire in the vehicle that powers the Heater/AC system. The Accessory/Heater-Blower wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the accessory(some vehicle) on and run positions, and will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the off and start or crank positions.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS H2/4 BROWN Wire (Horn Output) The BROWN wire will provide a (-) negative output for the vehicles horn or optional siren hookup.This wire is a transistorized low current 200mA output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle's horn switch. H2/5 RED Wire (System +12volt Constant Power) Connect the RED wire to a constant +12 volt source.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS H5/2 BROWN/RED (Positive Safety Shut Down or Brake Input) This wire provides an instant shutdown for the remote starter whenever it recieves a +12volts.Connect this wire to the output or cold side of the brake switch that shows +12volts only when the brake is pressed. See below diagram This wire provides an instant shutdown for the remote start, whenever it receives +12volts.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS H5/3 THIN BLACK Wire ( Remote Start Enable or Nuetral Safety Input) When the THIN BLACK wire is grounded, the remote start unit is operable. When this wire is open from ground, the remote starter is disabled. 1. The optional remote start toggle switch can be added on to this wire to temporally disable the remote starter. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed area. 2.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS H5/7 VIOLET (Positive Door Input) (Must be used for manual transmissions) The VIOLET wire is the positive trigger input for +12volt positive style door circuits. The VIOLET wire will attach to the wire in the vehicle that provides +12volt positive when the door is opened. The same wire in the vehicle will provide 0 voltage or negative ground when the doors are closed. This type of door circuit is most common with Ford vehicles.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS Positive Oil Sensor Connections: +2volts to + 3volts will show ON the multimeter when the ignition switch is turned to the on position in the key cylinder and +12volts to + 14volts when the motor is running. IMPORTANT NOTE: You must program for oil sensing type before trying to remote start. (See programming start feature #2.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS VACUUM OPERATED DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM: TYPICAL OF MERCEDES BENZ AND AUDI. Locate the wire under the driver's kick panel. Use the voltmeter connecting to ground, verify that you have the correct wire with the doors unlocked, the voltmeter will receive "12 volts". Lock the doors and the voltmeter will read "0 volt". Move the alligator clip to +12V and the voltmeter will receive "+12 volts". Cut this wire and make your connections. Be sure to program the door lock timer for 3.5 seconds.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS H7: 10-PIN WHITE WIRING HARNESS: H7/1 BLUE / BLACK Wire (Ignition 3 Output) This wire provides a 200mA (-) negative ground output that becomes active 4 seconds before the remote start unit initializes, and remains grounded while running. Ignition 3 output: Some newer vehicles use a third ignition wire which is required to start and keep the vehicles engine running.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS H7/4 BLACK/WHITE (Dome Light Supervision Output) The BLACK/WHITE wire provides a 200mA (-) negative output for 30 seconds when the doors are unlocked using the transmitter. The BLACK/WHITE wire will also flash the dome light circuit for the same duration as the siren when violated. Note: If not attaching the BLACK/WHITE wire directly to the BCM (Body control module) a relay must be used to power the dome light circuit.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS H7/7 RED/WHITE (Channel 3 Trunk Output) The RED/WHITE wire will provide a 1 second 200mA (-) negative ground pulse output by activating channel 3 on the transmitter for 2 seconds. This feature will allow trunk release or other optional devises by remote transmitter. Note: If not attaching the RED/WHITE wire directly to the BCM (Body control module) a relay must be used to power the trunk or device being energized. H7/8 LT.
. . WIRING CONNECTIONS 7/9 ORANGE/WHITE (Ground Output When Disarmed) The ORANGE/WHITE wire provides a 200mA (-) negative output when the security system is disarmed. This output can be used for activating optional devises such as memory positions for power seats. Note: If not attaching the orange/white wire directly to the BCM (Body control module) a relay must be used to power the device being energized.
. . PROGRAMMING AND TESTING A. Manual Transmission: When you are in manual transmission gear mode, you also need to connect the Brown / Red wire to the emergency or handbrake switch. An isolation diode must be used for handbrake circuit and brake light circuit. Most handbrake wires will show +12V at rest when the ignition is on and ground when you set the handbrake. However, if the handbrake wire shows 0V while the handbrake is at rest, you will need to add a relay as shown in the diagram below.
. . PROGRAMMING AND TESTING Exit: Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or leave it for 15 seconds. 3 long chirps and 3 parking light flashes will confirm programming exit. C.

Signal has not been learned Re-learning the RPM (Start feature #2-2) 8 The procedure of the Check Operation Manual # Engine start memorizing Remote Start Operation B section. for the vehicle with manaul transmission gear is not completed. TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION Caution!! The follow procedure must be performed after the installation of the remote start device. It is the responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests.
. . TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION 6. Start the vehicle using the remote transmitter. a. If the starter does not engage, the test is complete. b. If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake pedal to shut down the system and check your VIOLET wire H1/1 starter output connection. The heavy gauge VIOLET wire must be connected to the ignition switch side of the neutral safety switch.
. . TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION 2. Connect the THIN BLACK Neutral Safety Switch wire (H5/3) to this reference wire. NOTE: If the optional remote starter enable toggle switch is installed, connect the one side of the switch to this reference wire the other side of to the THIN BLACK Neutral Safety Switch wire (H5/3) of the remote start unit. The reference diagram below shows a typical GM B Body ECM reference wire and how to connect it to the remote start unit.
. . TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION 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 affect other warning tones such as the light on reminder.
. . TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION Note: A second 4003 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 Stripped) side must be connected to the GREY wire (H5/1) of the remote start unit. The cathode (Striped) side must be connected to the hood pin switch. METHOD 2 To connect to the key in sensor circuit as shown for method 2: A.
