  • Page 4: Warning! Safety First

    warning! safety first The following safety warnings must be observed at all times: I Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized DEI dealer. I When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control transmitter.
  • Page 5: Installation Points To Remember

    installation points to remember before beginning the installation IMPORTANT! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use. I Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems.
  • Page 6: Finding The Wait-To-Start Bulb Wire For Diesels

    finding the wait-to-start bulb wire for diesels In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dash- board. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out the vehicle can be started.

  • Page 16: Neutral Safety Switch Interface

    neutral safety switch interface Some vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechan- ical part. In these vehicles, it is impossible to interface the remote start system before the neutral safety switch. With this type of vehicle, if the vehicle is left in a drive gear and the remote start system is activated, the vehicle will move and may cause damage to persons or property.
  • Page 17 Every vehicle built this way requires that the shifter be placed in park to remove the keys from the ignition. As a result, it is possible to use the key-in-ignition sense switch to prevent remote starting if the keys are in the ignition.

  • Page 21: Programmer Interface, 3-Pin Port

    programmer interface, 3-pin port The black 3-pin port is provided for personal computer programming of the unit. The unit can also be programmed using the Bitwriter (p/n 998T). When using the optional PC Interface module, or hand-held programmer, it is possible to configure any and all of the programmable functions as well as lock the Transmitter/Receiver and System Features Learn Routines so that unauthorized users cannot change the configuration or program trans- mitters to the unit.
  • Page 22: Negative-Triggered, Relay Driven Systems (Type B)

    Here is a test: Cut the wire which pulses (+)12V on lock, and then operate the switch to unlock. I If all doors unlock, the vehicle uses Type A system. I If you lose all door lock operation in both directions, you are operating the master switch in a Type C system. I If you lose all door lock operation of one or more doors, but not all motors stop operating, and other doors still work, you have cut a wire leading directly to one or more motors.
  • Page 23: Reversing Polarity System (Type C)

    type C: reversing polarity Interfacing with reversing polarity systems requires either two relays or a 451M Door Lock Relay Satellite (not included). It is crucial to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface properly. Locate wires that show voltage on lock and unlock.
  • Page 24: Actuators (Type D)

    type D: aftermarket actuators In order for this system to control one or more aftermarket actuators, a 451M Door Lock Relay Satellite (optional) or two relays (optional) are needed. Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock actuator inside the door.
  • Page 25: Electrically Activated Vacuum (Type E)

    type E: mercedes-benz and audi (1985 and newer) These door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Some Mercedes and Audis use a Type D system. Test by locking doors from the passenger key cylinder. If all the doors lock, the vehicle's door lock system can be controlled with just two relays (optional).
  • Page 26: Type G: Positive (+) Multiplex

    type G: positive (+) multiplex This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. When interfacing with this type of door lock system, two relays or a DEI 451M must be used.
  • Page 27: Type H: Negative (-) Multiplex

    type H: negative (-) multiplex The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. single-resistor type If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse ground in one direction and resis- tance to ground when operated in the opposite direction.

    programming jumpers light flash jumper This jumper is used to determine the light flash output polarity. In the (+) position, the on-board relay is enabled and the unit will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/2. In the (-) position, the on-board relay is disabled. The WHITE wire, H1/2, will supply a 200mA (-) output suitable for driving factory parking light relays.
  • Page 29: Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine

    transmitter/receiver learn routine The system comes with two transmitters that have been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store up to 4 different transmitter codes in memory. Use the following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to change button assignments if desired.
  • Page 30 Channels Four, Five and Six: Channels Four through Six are used to assign the arm, disarm and panic functions to separate buttons on the remote control. Teaching a button to Channel Four erases all information about that remote from memory. Any auxiliary functions that are desired will have to be reprogrammed. Similarly, if the remote is set up to use the separate arm, disarm and panic channels and a button from that remote is entered into Channel One, the remote will be erased from memory, and the system will only recognize the button that was entered into Channel One.
  • Page 31: Transmitter Configurations

    transmitter configurations The transmitters can be programmed with the standard or single button arm/disarm configurations by using the Auto-learn functions in the Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine. standard configuration A remote that uses the standard configuration operates similarly to many factory keyless entry remotes. A stan- dard configuration transmitter allows arming, disarming, and Panic Mode activation with separate buttons.
  • Page 32: System Features Learn Routine

    system features learn routine The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change any of the feature settings using the Valet/program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the optional Personal Computer Interface or Bitwriter (p/n 998T).

  • Page 39: Rapid Resume Logic

    rapid resume logic The Rapid Resume Logic feature ensures that when the security system is powered back up after power has been disconnected, the system will resume the same state it was in before power was lost. For example, if power is disconnected during a full trigger sequence, the system will still be in the full trigger sequence when power is reconnected to the unit.

    f. Activate the remote start system. I If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake to shut down the system. If it does engage, recheck the neutral safety input connection. The vehicle may use a mechanical neutral safety switch. (See H2/6 BLACK/WHITE neutral safety switch input in Remote Start Harness Wire Connection Guide section of this guide.) I If the starter does not engage, the test is complete.
