Programming Options RF Programmer The RF Programmer allows you to customize the system to fit the individual needs of the consumer, using a handheld device capable of transmitting system settings directly to the system control module. The RF Programmer is broken down into three different programming banks. 1. RF Programmer Bank- The RF Programmer Bank allows you to set up the base features of the system you are installing.
RF Programmer Selecting Programmable Features 1. Press the POWER button to turn the system ON. 2. Once powered up the MENU screen will be displayed. 3. Use the UP & DN arrows to scroll through the programmable features. Once you locate the desired feature to change, press the > arrow to advance to the next screen. You should see the default setting of the system 4. Press the SET button to scroll through the available settings.

1. SETUP & PROGRAMMING Transmitter Programming (3 Chirps) 1. With the door open turn the ignition ON. 2. Press and hold the valet/override button. 3. Within 10 Seconds the system will chirp (3) three Times. 4. Press any one button of each transmitter you wish to program. 5. The system will respond with 1 chirp for each accepted transmitter. Pressing the override button at anytime during programming will advance to the next bank.
1. 4 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS Battery Power (RED) Locate the vehicle’s battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all positions of the ignition switch. Connect the RED wire to the vehicle’s battery wire. Note: Remove all 30 Amp fuses until all connections are made. 12 volts Ignition Input/Output (PINK) Locate the vehicle’s Ignition wire at the ignition switch. Verification: This wire registers voltage when the key is turned to the ON (or RUN) position.
2. BASIC INSTALLATION - 22 PIN BASE HARNESS Dome Light Supervision Output (+/-) (BLACK/WHITE) Locate the vehicle’s dome light or pin switch wire. Verification: This wire will register positive voltage or ground when the vehicle's dome is turned ON. Typically this wire is installed with the door trigger input wire. Refer to NEG/POS door input for reference. To select Negative or Positive polarity output: Refer to Fuse Placement Diagram below.
2. 22 PIN BASE HARNESS CONTINUED Ground When Armed Output (ORANGE) This wire will show ground when the system is armed. This wire is used for controlling window modules or additional sensors. Headlight Output (LT. GREEN/ORANGE) Locate the vehicle’s headlight wire. Verification: This wire will register either positive voltage or ground when the headlights are turned on. Connect the LT. GREEN/ORANGE to the vehicles headlight wire if the system is negative. (LOW CURRENT ONLY).
2. 22 PIN BASE HARNESS CONTINUED Instant Trigger Input (BLUE/WHITE) This wire is a GROUND input for an external sensor or secondary pin switch Verification: This wire when connected will trigger the security system Siren Output (+) (BROWN) Locate a suitable mounting location in the engine compartment for the siren, away from moving parts. With the bell of the siren aiming downwards, secure the siren in place using self tapping screws, being careful not do drill into any hoses, wiring or components.
2. 22 PIN BASE HARNESS CONTINUED Manual ARM input (LT. BLUE/RED) This wire will ARM the security system when a POS or NEG pulse is applied to it from an external device. Manual DISARM Input (LT. BLUE/BLACK) This wire will DISARM the security system when a POS or NEG pulse is applied to it from an external device. Unlock Switch Sense (LT. BLUE/GREEN) This wire will prevent the system from disarming the security system when a POS or NEG pulse is applied to it from an external device.
3. 4 PIN ADVANCE CHANNEL HARNESS Channel 2 (PINK/BLACK) This wire provides a 500mA negative output capable of driving relays. For Control of optional accessories (i.e. Power Window/Sunroof,etc.). To Activate press and hold LOCK & TRUNK. Please refer to the selectable options for timing. Selectable timing: Push & Hold/10 Seconds/20 Seconds/Press to Latch ON/Press to Latch OFF. Channel 3 (PINK/GREEN) This wire provides a 500mA negative output capable of driving relays. For Control of optional accessories (i.
