installation Be sure to read this section thoroughly and view the Do-ItYourself Installation CDROM video in its entirety before starting the installation. Pay special attention to all warnings to prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle. www.boasecurity.com) to Visit our 24-hour technical Web site (w get a vehicle-specific wiring guide prior to starting this installation.
➜ step 1 Ground Wire The BLACK (H1/5) wire on the main 8-pin harness is ground. This wire should be connected to a clean, paint-free area of metal in the drivers kick panel area. First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the BLACK wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire. Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel. Using a self-tapping screw, drill the screw with the ring terminal to the metal area.
➜ step 2 Constant Power and Ignition wires Almost all power and ignition wires can be found behind the key cylinder under the lower drivers side dash panel. Using the appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel using care not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily check for any additional screws you may have missed. Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of thicker wires.
warning! Before making any connection to constant battery power make sure that the two green 30 amp fuses are removed from the fuse holders on the two thick red wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or shorting of sensitive electrical components. Once the constant power wire (or wires) has been identified, solder the two thick RED wires from the control module to it and cover the connection with electrical tape to ensure a safe connection.
If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the Web site information follow the same test procedure and solder the thick PINK/WHITE (F) relay wire to it and be sure to wrap the connection with electrical tape. If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, contact BOA Technical Support. ➜ step 3 Accessory and Starter wires The starter and accessory wires will be located in the same harness as the ignition and constant power.
Now that the accessories have been located, find the wire suspected to be the starter wire according to the web information on your vehicle. Place the red lead of your LED tester on the wire. With the key in the off position the LED tester should be extinguished in all key positions except the crank position. In the crank position your LED tester should illuminate, and will extinguish when the starter disengages.
➜ step 4 Safety Shutdown Wires important! These wires are meant to protect the vehicle and anyone near the vehicle. They must be connected appropriately to prevent damage to the vehicle and possible bodily injury. Failure to properly install these wires may cause the vehicle to lunge if remote started while in gear. With all ignition wires properly connected, find the appropriate safety shutdown wires. These are the brake wire and hood pin wires. First locate the factory brake wire using your LED tester.
Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a ¼-inch hole in the metal lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow the pin switch to be depressed when the hood is closed. The pin switch has a spade connector on the bottom for the wire connection. Place the wire with the spade connector onto the pin switch and run the wire into the vehicle’s passenger compartment through a factory rubber grommet.
temporarily (i.e., for service on the vehicle or when parking in an enclosed area). This switch is to be mounted in an easily accessible location in the passenger compartment. Connect the toggle switch as shown below. HOOD PIN SWITCH OPEN WHEN HOOD IS CLOSED TO GRAY (H1/5) WIRE ON CONTROL MODULE HOOD PIN SWITCH CONNECTOR BYPASS TOGGLE SWITCH BYPASSED WHEN CLOSED ➜ step 5 Parking light flash (optional) There are several different types of parking light circuits.
Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected wire and place the red lead of the LED tester to a constant (+)12 volt source and secure it. Probe the suspected wire. With the switch in the off position the LED tester should be extinguished. While watching the LED tester, turn the switch to the parking light position. The LED tester should illuminate green. While testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer light control up and down — the voltage should NOT vary (LED tester illumination).
➜ step 6 Engine monitoring (voltage—default setting) During remote start the system will need to know if the engine is running. The module does this by monitoring the voltage of the vehicle’s electrical system (or the tachometer-see next topic). When the vehicle is not running the electrical system is approximately 12 volts. The system detects the engine running when the voltage equals or exceeds 13.5 volts.
Engine monitoring (tachometer—optional) warning! In the following procedure do not wear loose clothing that could get entangled in rotating engine components. Ensure that your hands and arms are well clear of these rotating components when working in the engine compartment. Lastly, ensure that all wires and tools are clear of falling into or entanglement with these rotating components. note! In the following procedure do NOT use the LED tester.
hood pin wire and pull the wire through the grommet taking extra care to keep it away from any moving parts or anything that will generate extreme heat. Once the wire is run into the engine compartment, strip a small portion of insulation off the tachometer wire and solder it to the VIOLET/WHITE wire and wrap the connection with electrical tape. Pull on the wire to ensure a good connection. note! For the programming of the tachometer, refer to the Control Module Programming discussion.
it. Probe the suspect wire with the LED tester. While probing the wire, place the key in the drivers door cylinder. Turn it to the unlock position and hold it when testing for the disarm wire. The LED tester should illuminate and will extinguish when the key is released. When the correct wire has been found, strip a small portion of insulation off this wire and solder the small LIGHT GREEN/BLACK (H1/7) wire to this wire. Wrap the connection with electrical tape.
dealer. The majority of transponder-based immobilizer systems can be bypassed using the 555U/556U immobilizer bypass module available at your local retail dealer. This BLUE wire (H1/1) of the primary harness supplies a 200mA output as soon as the control module begins the remote start process. This wire can be used to activate an immobilizer bypass unit. To determine what bypass module your vehicle requires, check your web vehicle information sheet. ➜ step 9 The system comes with one transmitter.

system expansion items The following item can be added to the system: ➤ Starter Kill ➤ Window Automation ➤ Valet® Remote Start troubleshooting ➤ The ignition comes on, but the starter will not crank. Does it start with the key in the ignition? If so, does the vehicle have an engine immobilizer? Will it start with the brake pedal depressed? (Make sure to disconnect the brake shutdown when performing this test.) If so, it may have a brake/starter interlock.
Has the tach wire been learned? See the Tach Learning section of this guide. Is the tach wire receiving the correct information? Either the wrong tach wire has been used, or a bad connection exists. ➤ The climate control system does not work while the unit is operating the vehicle. Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more than one ignition or accessory wire must be energized in order to operate the climate control system. ➤ The remote start will not activate.
starter side wire of the vehicle. 4. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active. 5. Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires should have solid connections. "T-taps", or "scotch locks" are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge wiring. Also, if the vehicle has more than one 12-volt input wire, then connect one red wire to each. ➤ The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.
