CM7 Master Guide
Green/White Loop
This loop wire determines the transmission setting. The default position (uncut loop) is for manual transmissions.
When the loop is cut, the system will be ready for automatic transmissions. In the default (manual transmission)
mode, the system must be set up in Reservation mode prior to the vehicle being able to remote start.
IMPORTANT: All warranties or claims are void if a controller with a cut loop is installed on a vehicle with a
manual transmission. WITH FIRMWARE CMv3.5+ ONCE THE ENTER RESERVATION MODE
OPTION IS SELECTED THE CM WILL ONLY OPERATE IN MANUAL MODE EVEN IF THE LOOP
IS CUT
Reservation Mode for Manual Transmissions
To remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must first be set up in reservation mode. Reservation
mode is designed to prevent the vehicle from remote starting while the transmission is in gear.
Installation Requirements
1. FT-DAS or FTDAS II (Digital Adjustable Sensor) must be connected.
2. The vehicle's door triggers must be connected to the control module. Prior to making final
connections, test the factory door triggers to ensure that they are functioning properly.
3. The vehicle's emergency/parking brake wire must be connected to the control module. The proper
vehicle wire usually provides a negative (-) trigger while the emergency / parking brake is set.
4. The vehicle's clutch must be temporarily bypassed ONLY when the remote start cranks the engine.
This bypass simulates the clutch being depressed. For complete details on how to wire a momentary clutch
bypass visit www.firstechdata.com or contact our technical support department by calling 888-
820-3690.
IMPORTANT: Do not install a remote start in manual transmission vehicles with convertible /
removable tops and in user 's vehicles that leave their windows down. Firstech or their authorized
dealers will not assume any responsibility for improper use or install.
