Installation Guide

Notice
The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any electrical damage resulting from improper installation of the product, be that either
damage to the vehicle itself or to the unit. This unit must be installed by a certified technician using all safety devices supplied. Please
note that this guide has been written for properly trained Autostart technicians: a certain level of skills and knowledge is therefore
assumed. Please review the installation guide carefully before beginning any work.
Warning
Before installing the unit, if installing on a vehicle with a manual transmission, test that the OEM Door Switch contacts of the vehicle work
well, and that the Parking Brake system operates properly. If installing on a vehicle with an automatic transmission, test that the vehicle
does not start when the gearshift lever is in the "Drive" position. If it starts in gear, reset the remote starter to manual transmission.

    Included in the Kit Before beginning the installation, please review the Installation Guide —particularly the Wiring Diagram and the Programming Options. Note: It is very important that you familiarize yourself with the programming and operation of the system, even if you have already installed a similar system in the past. There are many great new features you may overlook if you do not read the Guide–you would not maximize the potential of the unit.
  • Page 4 ♦ When wiring in parallel, make sure to isolate each connection with a diode in order to avoid feedback and possible damage. Examples: Wiring clutch bypass transponder module to the ground out when running wire: At the junction point, where Ground Out when running “splits” and goes to each device, a diode is inserted on each of those lines.

  • Page 5: Installation Order

    The following is a suggested order for the Installation procedure. It is intended as a guide for novices, to help make the process of installing a remote starter module easier. Time is wasted by rewiring the module when mistakes are made. Also, the neatness of the installation is lessened every time the module is taken down and the wiring is “corrected”.
  • Page 6 when the module is in the vehicle. The fuses on the power wires should be removed during the pre-wire stage. The fuses will not be put back in until the powering stage of the installation. Once the pre-wiring is finished, the module can be brought into the vehicle. Before the module is −...

  • Page 7: A Basic Introduction To The Relay

    A basic introduction to the Relay What is a relay? A device that responds to a small current or voltage change by activating switches or other devices in an electric circuit. An electromagnetic switch, remote-controlled switch, a switching device. Why are Relays used? Relays can have several purposes in remote car starter installations.
  • Page 8 quenching/suppression diode, and that the Negative trigger is on the same terminal of the relay as the Anode (+ or non-striped side) of the quenching/ suppression diode. When a relay’s coil is energized, a magnetic field is created and energy is stored in the coil. When power is removed from the coil, the magnetic field collapses.
  • Page 9 Problem: Some vehicle circuits need to be isolated from feedback. In some cases, when a vehicle is remote started, feedback occurs on a circuit and powers another device or switch that was not intended to be powered during the remote starts. The following example will be a Positive (+) Parking Light circuit that feeds back and activates the windshield wipers during remote starts.
  • Page 10 the relay is activated, +12 volts from 87 is sent through 30, and the OEM trunk switch is activated, by the positive pulse. Interruption: Example: Creating a Starter Kill relay to prevent unauthorized starting of the vehicle. Problem: The OEM starter circuit needs to be disabled only when theft is attempted. Solution: A relay is used to interrupt the OEM starter wire.

  • Page 11: Harness Description

    module's Trunk release output activates the relay. The ground signal is sent from 87 through 30 to the vehicle's Trunk release wire activating the switch and opening the trunk. Harness Description 6-pin Main Ignition Harness (a.k.a. The Primary harness) The two Red wires are the power inputs for the module; the other wires are for recreating the actions of the Ignition switch during remote starts.

  • Page 12: 5-Pin Secondary Harness

    For safety reasons, this wire must be connected to the hood pin provided in the box or to (-) Hood the OE hood pin. This input will disable or shut down the Remote Starter when the hood switch input is opened. It can also be used for programming purposes.
  • Page 13 Combustion Chamber before the vehicle is started. When a Remote Starter is installed on a diesel vehicle, the Glow- plug section of the Ignition circuit must be activated and allowed to operate before the vehicle is remote- GRAY/BLACK started.

  • Page 14: 3-Pin Harness

    If no Glow-plug wire is found on the vehicle, the Glow-plug input on the module may be “timed out”. The module will power up the Ignition and Glow-plug circuits and simply wait for the time-out before starting. Keeping the Glow-plug input wire of the module unconnected will hold the ignition the preprogrammed delay.

  • Page 15: The Programming Assistance Button

    Note: To exit programming mode, close the hood. Remember: You can use the programming Assistance button instead of the hood pin at any time the hood is up. The Programming Assistance Button (a.k.a. PAB) Once inside the programming options, the installer has a selection of many different sub-menus: Manual or Automatic Transmission This module may be installed on vehicles with manual or automatic transmissions.

  • Page 16: Transmitter Programming Procedure

    To install this unit in a vehicle with an automatic transmission: Cut the loop on the pc board (Yellow wire). Make sure the Black/White handbrake wire is not connected to any of the vehicle circuits. Make all the regular connections. Power up the unit.

    modules connected to the G.O. Wire, a relay (and diodes) may have to be added to strengthen the negative current going to the clutch bypass. Positive: Very similar to the negative system, except that the vehicle's clutch relay is triggered by 12 volts instead of a negative signal.

  • Page 21: Starter Kill Arming Mode

    Starter Kill Arming Mode Note: It can only be activated if button Ι is programmed as The Starter Kill (if installed) can be configured by the installer either to Passive Mode (so as to arm automatically) or Active Mode (so as to require the user’s intervention for arming). By default, the Remote Car Starter is configured to Passive Mode.
