BATTERY 12V ( + ) Locate 1 of the vehicle’s constant 12 Volt battery wires at the ignition switch. Verification: This wire will register ( + ) voltage in all positions of the ignition switch. Connect the RED wire to the constant 12 Volt battery wire. NOTE: Remove all fuses until all connections are made.
6 Pin Output Harness BROWN/BLACK HORN OUTPUT ( - ) Locate the vehicle’s horn wire. Verification: This wire will register at positive voltage and register ground when the horn switch is pressed. Connect the BROWN/BLACK wire to the vehicle’s horn wire. This is a low current output, 500mA.
VIOLET/BLACK AUX 1 This wire provides a ( - ) 500mA output capable of driving relays. For Control of optional accessories (i.e. Power Window/Sunroof, etc.). To activate refer to the transmitter button configuration chart. Please refer to the selectable options for timing. RED/WHITE TRUNK RELEASE OUTPUT ( - ) Locate the vehicle’s trunk release wire at the trunk release switch.

Adding Aftermarket Actuators After installing aftermarket actuators, (not supplied). Connect the GREEN and BLUE wires shown in the diagram below using (2) SPDT relays (not supplied). Fused +12 Volt Battery Source Door Lock GREEN (-) Lock Output Actuator Chassis Ground Fused +12 Volt Battery Source BLUE (-) Unlock Output...
Additional Ports Antenna / LED / Programming Port Mount the supplied antenna/receiver to a clear spot on the vehicle's windshield that will not block the driver's vision. A good location is usually high on the windshield near the rear view mirror. Be careful not to mount the antenna/receiver on any metallic window film, as this will effect system range.
Set Up & Programming Transmitter Programming - Feature Bank 1 1. Turn the ignition ON. 2. Press and hold the valet/override button. 3. Within 10 seconds the system will chirp (3) three times. 4. Press 1 button of each transmitter you wish to program. 5.
Defaulting All Features: Pressing the button anytime while in any of the feature banks will default all features and return you to feature bank 2 - 4 chirps. NOTE: The system will remain in feature programming mode as long as the ignition is on, there is no time limit.
Tach Programming The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed or tachless option is turned ON. If an attempt is made to start the vehicle via the remote start without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating tach has not been learned and stored.
NOTE: If the unit fails to learn tach rate due to an improper tach connection or a poor tach source, the parking lights will not flash. To correct this situation, locate and connect the PURPLE/WHITE wire to the proper tach signal, and then repeat the tach learn routine.
Feature Descriptions Feature Bank 2 - Security 1 - Silent Choice: Controls the normal arm/disarm chirps of the security system. ON - Silent arming/disarming upon first press of lock/unlock, pressing lock/ unlock a second time will activate the arm/disarm chirps respectively. The system will only sound the arm/disarm chirps upon a second press of the lock/unlock buttons.

6 - AUX 1: Controls the VIOLET/BLACK AUX 1 output activation type and timing. Push and Hold - Output is continuously active until transmitter button is released. Latched - Output stays active until button is pressed again. Latched until IGN ON - Output stays active until the ignition is turned on. Dome Light Output - Output is used for illuminated entry and is not controlled by the AUX 1 function of the transmitter.

5 - Voltage Level: The voltage variance for remote start when set to tachless. (see tach mode) HIGH - The variance in battery voltage from before the remote start is activated to after the engine is running must be greater than 0.5 volts. LOW - The variance in battery voltage from before the remote start is activated to after the engine is running may be less than 0.5 volts.
11 - 2 or 3 Hour Start: When activated, the remote start will activate and run for the programmed time and shut down every 2 or 3 hours. 12 - Turbo Timer: When activated, the vehicle will run for the programmed time. 1 Minute 3 Minutes 5 Minutes...
