  • Page 4: Control Switch

    hood switch is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This switch must be installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.

  • Page 5: Shock Sensor

    SHOCK SENSOR: Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent opera- tion from all areas of the vehicle. The selected location must be within 18" of the control module to allow routing and connecting of the 4 pin harness. Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two #8 self tapping sheet metal screws.
  • Page 6 YELLOW Wire: Starter Output Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installa- tion method.
  • Page 7 WIRING CONNECTIONS: Multi Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness White w/ Red Trace Wire: Parking Light Flasher Feed This wire is the common contact of the on board parking light flasher relay. If the vehicle you are working on has +12 volt switched parking lights, connect this wire to a fused + 12 volt source. (Max. 15 Amps) NOTE: If the vehicle's parking lights are ground switched, connect this wire to chassis ground.
  • Page 8 White w/ Black Trace Wire: (+) Siren Output This is the positive siren feed wire. Route this wire through a grommet in the firewall to the siren location. Connect the White w/ Black Trace wire to the Red wire of the Siren. Secure the Black wire of the Siren to a known chassis ground or solid clean metal surface.
  • Page 9 Light Blue Wire: Ignition 3 Output This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start Unit initializes and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start Unit turns off. In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required. The Light Blue wire can be used to accommodate the following situations: A.

  • Page 10: Green W/ White/Black Trace Wire

    Green w/ White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max.) whenever the remote is used to disarm the alarm or to unlock the doors and provides a continuous pulsed output whenever the alarm is triggered. This wire should be connected to an external relay and wired to the vehicles interior entry lighting whenever the optional Interior Illumination circuit is desired.
  • Page 11 Orange Wire: Ground When Armed Output This wire provides a 300 mA ground output when the alarm circuit is armed to control the starter inhibit relay. Connect the Orange wire to terminal #86 (orange wire) of the relay provided. Connect terminal #85 (red wire) of the relay to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the on and start positions and off when the key is off.
  • Page 12 Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self tapping screw and ring terminal. Green w/ Orange Trace Wire: Tachometer Input Signal This wire will continually monitor the engine's tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start module.
  • Page 13 Dark Blue Wire: Delayed 300mA Pulsed Channel 3 Output The Dark Blue wire supplies a 300mA ground pulsed output whenever channel three of the receiver is accessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button for three seconds will access channel two. This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay to supply power to the trunk release or the circuit you wish to control.

  • Page 14: Wiring The 4 Pin Auxiliary Output Harness

    NOTE : This is a normally opened starter cut arrangement, and when power is removed from the security system, the starter disable feature will remain operational, and the vehicle will not start. Audiovox does not recommend using the Orange w/ White trace wire to interrupt anything but the starting circuit of the vehicle.
  • Page 15 Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank) The Black w/ Yellow Trace wire will provide a 300 mA ground output while the starter output of the remote start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM vehicles.
  • Page 16 3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock Circuits: In this application, the Red wire of the door lock harness provides a ground pulse during the arming sequence, or pulsed ground lock output. Connect the Red wire to the low current ground signal wire from the factory door lock switch to the factory door lock relay.
  • Page 17 The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time after disarming. Connect the Red/Black wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door unlock switch to the factory door unlock control relay. 3 Wire Positive Switched 2 Step Door Locks: The green wire provides a positive pulse during arming or the pulsed + 12 volt lock output.
  • Page 18 NOTE: Resistive Circuits, As Well As 4 Wire Polarity Reversal and 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volt Door Lock Control Circuits These applications require the use of additional components which may include relays, fixed resistors, or for convenience, the AS 9159 Door Lock Interface. Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement and or the Audiovox fax back service for information on your particular vehicle for properly connecting to these types of circuits.

  • Page 19: Start Program

    START PROGRAM: The Remote Start unit has the ability to start the vehicle automatically at timed intervals. This feature is useful in extremely cold climates where starting the engine is the only means to keep the battery charged and fluids warm. The operator has the option to have the unit start every 2 or 4 hours for a maximum of 48 hours.
  • Page 20 times in succession. The parking lights will flash, and the siren will chirp 3 times confirming that selected feature 3 can be changed. 7 . Use the start button on the transmitter to change the selection of the programmable feature. If you are not sure what the setting for any feature is, press the start button one time, the parking lights will flash once or twice indicating the features setting.

  • Page 21: Testing Your Installation

    TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION: WARNING!! The following procedure must be performed after the installation of an Audiovox Remote Start Device. It is the responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the unit in the following manner may result in personal injury, property damage, or both. HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN: The intention of the hood pin safety shut down is to prevent the Remote Start unit from being activated while a mechanic or vehicle owner is performing normal routine vehicle maintenance.

  • Page 22: Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch Considerations

    To test the integrity of the Neutral Start Safety Circuit: 1. Set the vehicle parking brake. 2. Block the drive wheels to prevent vehicle movement. 3. Temporarily disconnect the Brown/Black positive shut down wire from the vehicle's brake switch. 4. Sitting in the vehicle, start the engine using the vehicle's ignition key. 5.
  • Page 23 CAUTION! REMEMBER TO RECONNECT THE BROWN/BLACK WIRE TEMPORARILY DISCONNECTED IN STEP 3 DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF THE NEUTRAL SAFETY START FEATURE. KEY IN SENSOR CIRCUITS: If the vehicle you are working on does not have or you cannot locate the ECM reference wire, there are two alternatives available.
  • Page 24 To connect to the key in sensor as shown in method 1: A. Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch. B. Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground. C.

  • Page 25: Completing The Installation

    COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION: After you have confirmed the operation of the Audiovox Remote Start unit and tested all the safety features of the system: NOTE: This unit has the ability to learn the dome light delay time, up to 60 seconds. If the vehicle has delay interior lights, and you wish to avoid three chirp, defect zone, indication normally associated with this type of interior light, we suggest you learn the interior light delay.
