Installer’s Tips:

Tip #1 – Where Everything Goes

1. Module – the wiring for the module is done under the dash on the driver’s side, so you’ll want to install the module

in that general area. Before you start wiring, look for a location where there’s some open space that will fit the

module. Pay attention to moving parts like the pedals, e-brake and steering column. Be sure to route your wiring

away from those areas.

2. Valet Switch – Requires a small screw hole. Usually put in the driver’s kick panel (that’s the area forward of the

door), the driver’s side of the center console, or the underside of the dash.

Tip #2 – How to make the wiring connections

It’s very important that all your wiring connections be solid and secure. All remote start connections are “tap on”

connections. This means that you do not need to cut the wires in the car. You simply need to “tap on” to the wires in the

car to make your connections. Do NOT use any kind of wire connectors such as “t” taps or scotch locks for the data

connections in your vehicle; this must be a “wire touching wire” connection. Here are two different ways to do this:

Method 1 – Solder and tape

This is the method preferred by the best professional installers. It makes for the most reliable connections, but it is also

the most difficult to do. Sometimes there isn’t enough room in the wiring harness to safely solder a wire without

damaging adjacent wires, but if you have the soldering skills, go for it. To make a connection, strip back a section of the

insulation on the wire in the car. On heavy gauge wires, 1” is about the right amount. On lighter gauge wires, ½” is fine.

Strip 1” of insulation off the end of the remote start wire. Tin the bare section of wire in the car. Wrap the remote start

wire around the tinned section and then carefully solder it in place. Wrap the splice tightly with electrical tape.

Method 2 – Wrap and tape

This is the most popular method and is also very reliable. Strip back a section of the insulation on the wire in the car. On

heavy gauge wires, 1” is about the right amount. On lighter gauge wires, ½” is fine. Strip 1” of insulation off the end of

the remote start wire. Separate the strands of the wire like this:

Pass the wire from the remote through the opening as shown below

Wrap the remote start wire around both sides of the car wire, then back around itself as shown below

Use electrical tape to wrap the connection and secure the wires together. A wire tie will help prevent the tape from

unraveling in the future.
