Remote Control Car Starter Model 25523T Installation Manual

PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING

Congratulations on your purchase of the AutoCommand

Professional Series Remote Car Starter. The AutoCommand

Professional Series Remote Car Starter system allows you

to start the car by remote control from the comfort of your home or office in order to cool it down in the summer or heat it up in the winter.

AutoCommand

Professional Series is for automatic transmission/fuel injected vehicles only. It is an extremely sophisticated system with multiple built-in safety and

security features.

AutoCommand

Professional Series Car Starter:

• Will start your car by remote control, and run the heater, defroster, or

air conditioner to warm up or cool down the car from up to 1,000 feet

away.

• Is quality engineered, microprocessor controlled, and made in the

USA to provide many years of reliable use.

• Is designed to start the car only if it is in park, and only if the hood is

closed.

• Will attempt to start the car for up to six seconds, but no longer (to

avoid damage to the starter motor). Should the car not start, or if it

stalls after starting, the remote starter will make two further attempts

to start it.

• Will not let the car be driven without the key in the ignition.

• Shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (programmable)

if you forget to come out to your car.

• Will shut off if the brake pedal is pushed, the hood is opened, or the

transmission is shifted out of park - unless the key is in the ignition

and in the “run” position.

• Allows you to remove the key while leaving the car running with the

doors locked for up to 10 or 15 minutes utilizing the Quick Stop™

Option. (See Separate User Tip Sheet)

• Starts the car automatically whenever the temperature drops below

F(-18

C), or if the battery voltage drops below 11 volts when the

Cold Start™ Option is used. (See Separate User Tip Sheet)

• Has the “Daily Start™” feature which allows the vehicle to be started

at the same time the following day. (See Separate User Tip Sheet)

• Comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Note: Failure to properly install the fuse holder and 30 amp fuse to the PINK wire to the battery voids all product warranties. On cars with airbags, you may notice bright yellow tubes or harnesses marked SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) underneath the steering column area. DO NOT tamper with these wires in any way, to prevent personal injury and/or damage to the air bag system. Ignition Key Diagram for Steps 4-7 The vehicle’s wires are found coming off of the key switch.

Note: If the Ignition 1 and Ignition 2 wires come on whenever the brake is depressed and the hood is open this just means you need to initialize the unit in section 11. I. Watch that the LED light remains on as the vehicle is running and turns off when you rev the engine RPMs to twice the idle rate. The LED light must go out when you rev the engine to about twice the idle rate to confirm correct tach learning. J. Turn the key to the “Lock/Off” position. K.

USER TIPS AND NOTES v5.3 The Remote Car Starter must be “enabled” each time the driver has finished driving and taken out the key in order for the unit to start the vehicle remotely. After the key has been removed, you must turn OFF the control switch and then turn it back ON again while no key is in the ignition. This “control switch” or “set switch” prevents unauthorized starting of the car by someone unfamiliar with the system who may be using the vehicle.

© 2005 Directed Electronics, Inc. Daily Start™: This allows you to start the vehicle at the same time the next day. For example, if you leave for work at the same time each morning you can use the Daily Start™ feature to automatically start your car the next day. Here is how: Start your car with the transmitter as usual. When you enter the vehicle and before you put the key in the ignition, put your foot on the brake to turn the AutoCommand® off.

Trouble-Shooting Guide Unit won’t respond Make sure unit has power and ground. Make sure unit is initialized (See ‘Initializing the unit’ in the manual) Re-program transmitter. (See ‘Code Learning’ under Special Cases in the manual). What is the Diagnostic Code, and how do I get it? Diagnostic Code 1 flash Check Diagnostic Code as described in Trouble Shooting with Self Diagnostics in the manual.

Initialization - What is it? Initialization - What if the unit will not initialize? Initialization is a process which proves to the unit that you have connected the required safety features and that the unit has been installed in an automatic vehicle. See “Initializing the Remote Starter” in the manual.

The vehicle runs – but without the heater or airconditioner. I have poor range. You are missing the 2nd (or 3rd) ignition wire or the accessory wire is not hooked up. Make sure the heater or airconditioner is left on when you leave the vehicle. On diesel vehicles – they may not come on for a few minutes until after the vehicle is up and running. My vehicle has Passlock I or II and I cannot get a resistance reading. Many meters have a known issue with measuring passlock.
PAGE 14
Vehicle only remote starts if I flip the toggle switch off and back on This condition is perfectly normal. This is a safety feature designed to prevent unauthorized starting. If you have forgotten to flip the switch off and back on, you can still remote start the vehicle. Just hold the start button down for 6 to 10 seconds instead of the usual 1 second.
