CM7 Master Guide
STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. (Additional procedures may be required based on feature 2-15
option settings) The vehicle's doors should lock then the engine should shut off upon closing the door. If
the vehicle's engine does not shut off, check the door trigger connection or wait for the factory dome-light
to go out. The Firstech system is in reservation mode and the vehicle is ready to safely remote start. (For
PTS vehicles please exit vehicle after entering reservation mode WITHOUT pushing the PTS button)
Additional Notes
Reservation mode will be cancelled if the control module recognizes the vehicle's door, hood or trunk
opening – or if the alarm is triggered. Each time the end user wants to remote start their manual
transmission vehicle, they must set the control module in reservation mode. Reservation mode settings
can be programmed with features 2-14 and 2-15
Blade Cartridge dock and Connector
CM7000, CM7200, and CM7300 dock gives you the ability to use the Blade-AL and Blade-TB modules from
Firstech and ADS. With these modules you can virtually eliminate all wire connections between your control
module and bypass module. You only need to connect the main ignition harness and needed from the Black
20 pin Blade connector that may be required according to the vehicle specific Blade installation guide. For
more information on how to program and wire the Blade, please visit compustar.idatalink.com for the
specific wiring diagram for that vehicle. Note: the CM7 has a "Blade Eject" dial on the bottom
of the control module that may be turned using a coin or flat tip tool to assist with Blade removal.
The CM7 Series Blade connector has a locking tab. Non-locking tab blade harnesses will work but you
MUST TAKE CARE TO NOT PLUG THE HARNESS IN UPSIDE DOWN. Make sure the two notches on
the top of the harness face the top (CM and barcode sticker side) of the brain. When looking at the wire side of
the harness the two notches must be at the top of the plug.
Blade system includes:
1. Blade-AL or Blade-TB (NOTE: These modules are blank and must be flashed on your computer.)
2. 20 Pin locking wiring harness
3. 3 Pin harness used in some installs
IMPORTANT: Install diagrams are not included and must be downloaded from compustar.idatalink.com
when flashing the Blade, you can use the Y-Cable OP500 (gold tag) end and not CM4 Series (silver tag) end.
ADS and Firstech recommends using the 4 pin RS232 cable to avoid confusion. Cartridge must be removed
to if the CM7 is being updated with a Firstech updater program from www.firstechdata.com
