Summary of Contents for Audiovox AA-RS40CS

  • Page 1 Model AA-RS40CS Installation Manual 4 Channel Remote Car Starter With Full Feature Alarm System Installation Instructions This Unit Is Intended For Installation In Vehicles With 12 Volt Negative Ground Electrical Systems, Gasoline Or Diesel With True Tach Reference And Automatic Transmissions Only.
  • Page 2 The AA-RS40CS Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a 10 second output for glow plug pre-heat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #9). If the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), feature #9 should remain in the default Gasoline mode setting.
  • Page 3 transmitter and feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the dash in an area highly visible so that it may be seen from the driver's seat as well as from outside the vehicle. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Carefully drill a 1/4"...

  • Page 4: Wiring The 6 Pin Main Power Harness

    Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual. The AA-RS40CS is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combination Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission.
  • Page 5 assure that the vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral. In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Yellow wire will be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only.
  • Page 6 GREEN Wire: Ignition 2 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or "CRANK" position.
  • Page 7 SIREN Purple Wire: (+) Door Trigger Input If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches + 12 volts when the door is opened, (Some Fords and some Imports), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases, the Purple wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel.
  • Page 8 Light Blue Wire: Ignition 3 Output This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start Unit initializes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start Unit turns off. In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required. The Light Blue wire can be used to accommodate the following situations: A.
  • Page 9 5. Connect the previously selected resistor from terminal #87 to the second (#2) wire (as shown). NOTE: The above information and following diagram is for the GM VATS system only. For GM PASS LOCK System you will require the Audiovox AS-PASS II Module. Green w/White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max.) whenever the remote is used to disarm...
  • Page 10 Orange Wire: Ground When Armed Output This wire provides a 300 mA ground output when the alarm circuit is armed to control the starter inhibit relay. Connect the Orange wire to terminal #86 (orange wire) of the relay provided. Connect terminal #85 (red wire) of the relay to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the on and start positions and off when the key is off.
  • Page 11 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 taping screw and ring terminal.

  • Page 12 starting the vehicle and will remain shunted, if active, while running under command of the remote start. If this wire is active when the system is armed, the siren will emit three chirps. When the zone clears, the siren will emit 1 chirp to confirm full arming. See below for wiring detail. Negative Door Switch Wiring Detail Dark Blue Wire: Delayed 300mA Pulsed Channel 2 Output The Dark Blue wire supplies a 300mA ground pulsed output whenever channel two of the receiver is...

  • Page 13: Wiring The 4 Pin Auxiliary Output Harness

    Dark Blue/Black Trace Wire: External Trigger Input The Dark Blue/Black trace wire allows the remote start unit to be activated from an external source. The intent of this wire is to allow the unit to be controlled from a "POSSE/CAR-LINK" paging system or similar device.
  • Page 14 2 Pin LED Harness: (White Connector) The Red & Blue wires loaded into the two pin mini white connector control the anode and cathode of the dash mounted LED. Route the twin lead Red and Blue wires from the LED to the remote start control unit and plug the two pin connector into the mating white mini connector shell of the control module.
  • Page 15 Note: For connection to Four Wire Polarity Reversal, 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volts, And All Other Door Lock Circuits the Audiovox AS-9159 Door Lock Interface, (or equivalent 30 A automotive relays) must be used. Refer to the Audiovox Door Lock Wiring Supplement for proper wiring of these circuits.
  • Page 16 To Program The Alarm's Selectable Features: Action Turn the ignition switch on Flip the valet/program switch on then off 3 times Within 3 seconds, turn the ignition switch off and then on. Press transmitter button 1 to toggle between the First three selections.

  • Page 18 Programming Tach Rate: NOTE: All applications require that tach be programmed. The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed. 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.
  • Page 19 If the unit fails this test, recheck your enable switch connection to the Ground and the Black/White wire of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit. If you have a plug in enable switch, check that the two pin connector is firmly seated in the mating connector on the control module.

    DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF THE MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE FEATURE. NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST: The intent of the neutral start switch is to prevent the vehicle from starting while the gear selector is in any position other than Park, or Neutral.
  • Page 21 4000 series diode. Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral ECM input circuit. To connect the Audiovox remote start unit to the GM Park / Neutral ECM input: 1. Locate the Orange / Black reference wire in the" C2" connector found at the ECM in GM B Body vehicles or, locate the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are installing the Audiovox Remote Start Unit in.
  • Page 22 E. 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. F. Connect terminal 86 of the relay to a fused +12 volt constant battery source.
