This Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission- Fuel Injection Gas or Diesel Vehicles Only! INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS: CONTROL MODULE: PART # 1365038 Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting location selected must be within 24"...

5 YELLOW Wire: Starter Output areful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical switch configurations.

3 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 tapping screw and ring terminal. 4 Gray w/ Black Wire: Negative Inhibit Input 2 Any time the gray w/ black tracer wire is grounded, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter.

7 Gray Wire: Negative Inhibit Input 1 Connect the GRAY wire to the previously mounted hood pin switch provided. This wire will be routed through the firewall into the engine compartment. It is necessary to use an existing grommet when passing wires through the firewall to prevent short circuiting.
WIRING THE 4 PIN AUXILIARY OUTPUT HARNESS Part #1122585 The auxiliary 4 pin connector provides low current outputs to control various functions in the vehicle during different stages of the Remote Start unit's operation. Understanding these outputs and the time in which they occur will allow you to determine if they are needed for the particular vehicle you are working on as well as how to use them.
2 Pin Transponder Control Output: (Yellow Connector) Part # 1122392 a: When selected for while remote start on, the Black wire will be active at the same time ign. 3 be- comes active, and will remain active all the time the unit is operational under the control of the remote start.
3. Connect the Yellow wire to a +12 volt ignition 1 source. This wire will have +12 volts with the ignition in the on and start position and have 0 volts with the ignition in the off position. 4. Connect the Green wire to the (Green) or (Orange/Green) tach input of the Audiovox remote start unit. 128-8801b...
TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION: WARNING!! The following procedure must be performed after the installation of any Remote Start Device. It is the responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests. Failure to test the unit in the following manner may result in personal injury, property damage, or both. HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN: The intent of the hood pin safety shut down is to prevent the Remote Start unit from being activated while a mechanic or vehicle owner is performing normal routine vehicle maintenance.
To Exit Remote Start Override Mode: 1) With the system disarmed, Press and Hold the PBLED on. 2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off. 3) The LED turns off indicating that the R/S unit is fully functional one again. DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF THE MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE FEATURE.
Mechanical Neutral Start Switch from starting in gear. AUDIOVOX ADVISES THAT YOU MAINTAIN THE FACTORY CIRCUIT WHENEVER POSSIBLE. The following two circuits may be used only if the above circuit is not available.

5) 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. 6) Connect terminal 86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt constant battery source.
To connect to the key in sensor circuit as shown for method 2: 1) Locate the control wire that connects the drivers door pin switch to the key in sensor switch. 2) Cut this wire and connect the ignition cylinder side to chassis ground. 3) Locate the key in sensor switch wire that connects the chime module to the ignition cylinder .
The transmitters are pre-programmed from the factory, If you find you need to program new or additional transmitters follow the instructions below. PROGRAMMING BANK 1 (TRANSMITTERS): 1) Turn the ignition key to the on position. 2) Press and release the valet/programming switch 3 times (Siren Chirps). 3) Press the Button of each transmitter you want programmed until you hear the parking light relay click.
