Wiring The System - Audiovox Prestige APS-25-CL Installation Manual

VALET SWITCH:
Select a desired mounting location for the switch, that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle.
The switch does not have to be concealed, however, concealing the switch is always recommended, as this provides an
even higher level of security to the vehicle. The switch may be mounted below the dash using one of the brackets provided,
or mounted in the dash by drilling a 1/4" diameter hole in the location. Be sure to check behind the dash for adequate
clearance for the body of the switch, and to confirm that the drill will not damage any existing components as it passes
through the dash.
Whichever mounting method is used, make certain the back of the switch is accessible for wiring later in the installation.

WIRING THE SYSTEM:

RED FUSED WIRE - (VOLTAGE SENSING): + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
This wire controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior light when a door
is opened. It will also detect the switching on of parking or headlamps, and in many cases will trigger the alarm when a
thermostatically controlled electronic radiator cooling fan switches on.
It is recommended that when installing this system into vehicles with electronic "after fans", the procedure for RED
FUSED WIRE - (HARDWIRE) should be followed.
In voltage sensing applications, the closer to the battery that the red wire is connected, the less sensitive the voltage sense
circuitry will be. Moving this connection point to the fuse panel will increase the sensitivity, and connecting to the courtesy
lamp fuse in the vehicle will provide maximum sensitivity of the voltage sense circuit.
RED FUSED WIRE - (HARDWIRE): + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
When hardwiring the control module to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be disabled. Move
dip switch # 4 to the "OFF" position. Connect the red wire to a + 12 VDC constant battery source.
YELLOW WIRE: + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE
Connect this wire to a source that is hot when the key is in the on, accessory, and crank positions, and off when the key
is in the off position.
BLACK WIRE: CHASSIS GROUND
Connect this wire to a solid, metal part of the vehicle's chassis.
Do not confuse this wire with the thin black antenna wire that exits the control module independently.
DARK GREEN WIRE: (-) INSTANT TRIGGER
This is an instant on ground trigger wire. It must be connected to the previously installed hood and trunk pin switches.
PURPLE WIRE: + DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches have a + 12 volt output when the door is opened ( most Fords and some
Imports), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the door switches. In most cases, the purple wire
will only need to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many doors the vehicle has.
WARNING: Do not use the purple wire if the vehicle has ground output type door switches. (see BROWN WIRE)
BROWN WIRE: - DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches have a -ground output when the door is opened ( GM and most Imports ) you
must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the door switches. In most cases, the brown wire will only need
to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many doors the vehicle has.
WARNING: Do not use the brown wire if the vehicle has + 12 Volt output type door switches. (see PURPLE WIRE)
WHITE w/ BLACK TRACE WIRE: POSITIVE OUTPUT TO SIREN
Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location.
Connect the white/black wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to chassis ground.
