Page 2: Installation Of The Major Components
The APS-785 Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable timed outputs for . If the diesel glow plug pre-heat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #9) engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), feature #9 should remain in the default Gasoline mode setting. - Page 3 THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dash board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception.

Page 4: Wiring The 6 Pin Main Power Harness
WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS: RED w/ WHITE Trace Wire: + 12 volts Battery 1 Source Connect this wire to a + 12 VDC constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp fuse and holder provided. This wire provides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays. - Page 5 YELLOW START WIRE DETAIL GREEN Wire: Ignition 2 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or CRANK" position. This wire will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF"...
- Page 6 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 7 Purple Wire: (+) Door Trigger Input If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches + 12 volts when the door is opened, (Some Fords and some Imports), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases, the Purple wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel.
- Page 8 5. Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire (as shown). NOTE: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only. For GM PASS LOCK System you will require the Audiovox AS-PASS II Module. General Motors VATS By-Pass Diagram...
- Page 9 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 10 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 11 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 taping screw and ring terminal. Chassis Ground Connection Detail 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...

Page 12: Wiring The 4 Pin Auxiliary Output Harness
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 13 started under control of the remote start unit. Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed. Black w/ Red Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown The Black w/ Red Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output after the remote start unit shuts down.
- Page 14 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 se- quence, 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 15 lock/unlock motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches ground to the door lock/unlock motors, connect the remaining terminal, 87, to chassis ground. The Red/Black wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time after disarming.
- Page 16 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 Supple- ment and or the Audiovox fax back service for information on your particular vehicle for properly connect- ing to these types of circuits.

- Page 18 TIMED 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 19 NOTE: Once you've entered the program mode DO NOT allow more than 15 seconds to pass between steps, or the programming mode will be terminated. Programming Tach Rate: NOTE: All applications require that tach be programmed. The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed. If an attempt is made to start the vehicle via the remote start without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating tach has not been learned and stored.

Page 20: Testing Your Installation
If the unit fails this test, recheck your enable switch connection to the Ground and the Black/White wire of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit. If you have a plug in enable switch, check that the two pin connector is firmly seated in the mating connector on the control module. -
Page 21: Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch Considerations
1. Locate the Orange / Black reference wire in the "C2" connector found at the ECM in GM B Body vehicles or, locate the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are installing the Audiovox Remote Start Unit in. 2. Connect the Cathode, (Striped) end, of a 4000 series diode to this reference wire. - Page 22 E. Connect the cathode (striped) side of a 4002 series diode to this same wire, and connect the (non striped) side to the negative shut down safety wire (Gray / Black) of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit. F. Connect terminal 86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt constant battery source.
