Option 2: Key on/off five times or remote valet (Lock + Trunk for 0.5 seconds) – key does not need to be in the on
position.
1-11 Open Door Notification – With this option the CM-2300 will notify the user if they try to arm their
vehicle while a door or trunk is open. The user will receive 3 or 4 chirps and parking light flashes
when they try to arm/lock their vehicle. You may turn this feature off with setting 2.
1-12 Factory Alarm Option - This feature controls the alarm features in the CM-2300 and is set by
default to on. If you want to use the CM-2300 for keyless only, change the option setting to off.
1-13 Siren/Horn Mute Control on Remote – This Feature controls whether the remote can mute the
Siren or Horn from the remote and is set by default to disabled. This will not allow you to mute the
audible output from the CM-2300 by remote. If you want to control the mute feature from the
remote enable this feature.
2-01 Horn Output – This option sets the behavior of the horn wire during alarm state, during double
lock from the remote or during lock and unlock from the remote. During one of the options the
event will send a negative pulse on the white wire on CN3.
2-02 Horn Honk – This option sets the duration of the output on the horn (white) wire. At default it will
pulse depending on option 2-01. At the optional setting it will latch a ground trigger to use for
triggering another siren.
2-03 Ground When Armed – Ground When Armed or GWA, at default setting, will send a constant
latched negative output when armed on the blue wire on CN3. This is used to trigger your starter
kill relay. The optional settings change how long the GWA will send a trigger. Optional setting 4
will make the blue wire an Auxiliary 4 which is programmable by your OP500 Option Programmer.
2-04 Dome Light Output - This option sets the timing output of the Dome Light (violet) wire on CN3.
Default 1: This is a combination of 2 and 3.
Option 2: Factory Rearm – This system will pulse the dome light output during lock/arm.
Option 3: 45 second Dome Light Output – activates the dome light for 45 seconds upon unlock/disarm.
Option 4: Off
2-05 Unlock/Disarm With Trunk Release – This option has 4 settings. The settings are self
explanatory but option 4 turns the trunk release wire (violet/white) on CN2 into an Auxiliary 3
which is also programmable via the OP500.
2-06 Trunk Output Timing – This option sets the output duration of the violet/white wire on CN2. The
available options are 1, 0.5, and 2 seconds. You must set the fourth option if you have option 2-
05 on setting 4.
2-07 Secure Aux Output – On the default setting, trunk and star buttons must be held for 2.5 seconds
before Aux 1 or Aux 2 can be triggered while the CM-2300 is Armed and Locked. If the CM-2300
is unlocked then just press and release the Aux buttons for normal function. If you want this
feature on all the time, change to optional setting 2. This prevents accidental triggering of the
outputs if the CM-2300 is Locked or Unlocked. You can turn Secure Aux off by changing to
optional setting 3.
2-08 Aux 1 Output - This option determines the duration of the Aux 1 output. Setting 4 allows the
output duration to be set for a specific length of time.
2-09 Aux 2 Output - This option determines the duration of the Aux 2 output. Setting 4 allows the
output duration to be set for a specific length of time.

2-12 Auxiliary Input 1 – This option changes the input condition on the gray/white wire on CN3.
Default 1: Will pre-warn with a negative (-) ground input.
Option 2: Will arm the system with a negative (-) ground input. Used when adding an alarm to a factory keyless entry
system.
Option 3: Turns the wire into a closed loop trigger. Can be used to detect if the circuit is broken like for a trailer
connected to the truck hitch.
Option 4: Turns the wire into a (-) ignition input that bypasses the instant trigger wire and shock sensor.
2-13 Auxiliary Input 2 – This option changes the input condition on the black/white wire on CN3.
Default 1:. Will instant trigger with a negative (-) ground input.
Option 2: Will disarm the alarm with a negative (-) ground input. Used when adding an alarm to a factory keyless entry
system.
Option 3: Turns the wire into a (-) Key Sense wire. If the wire sees a negative trigger it will not allow the system to arm.
Option 4: Turns the wire into a (-) Drive Lock Ctrl input. If this wire sees a negative trigger and drive lock is turned on,
the CM-2300 locks the doors and when ignition is turned off it will unlocks the doors. This setting and Auxiliary 2 input
are required for ignition controlled door locks. Connecting this wire to a (-) output from a relay triggered by the vehicle's
foot brake is recommended for ignition controlled door lock activation.
