  • Page 2: Program Switch

    The APS-55 Remote Start/Keyless Entry System is designed for use with Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only! The unit provides wait to start input for glow plug pre-heat which will be used for all diesel applications. If this wire is not connected, then the unit will remain in the Gasoline mode setting, which will crank the car when the RF signal is received with no delay.
  • Page 3 THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY: The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dashboard for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception.
  • Page 4 NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay, (when used) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram. Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and property damage.
  • Page 5 VIOLET WIRE: Accessory Output Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the "ACCESSORY" or "ON" and "RUN" positions and will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF"...
  • Page 6 BROWN w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 2 Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Black tracer wire, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches + 12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the output of the brake light switch.
  • Page 7 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.
  • Page 8 General Motors VATS By-Pass Diagram DARK GREEN Wire: Tach Sensor Input This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil.
  • Page 9 These applications require the use of additional components which may include relays, fixed resistors, or for conve- nience, the AS 9159 Door Lock Interface. Refer to the AUDIOVOX Door Lock Wiring Supplement and or the Audiovox fax back service for information on your particular vehicle for properly connecting to these types of circuits.
  • Page 10 this wire is not used. Be sure to fuse the wire with a 1 Amp Fuse when connecting to a high current circuit such as a factory glow plug wire. The fuse should be installed as close to the high current wire as possible. 3 Pin Antenna/Receiver Connector: (White Connector) Plug the previously routed three pin connector from the antenna receiver assemble into the mating connector of the control module.

    2. Reach inside the car and pull the hood release. 3. Raise the hood and confirm that the remote start unit shuts down. If the unit fails this test, recheck your pin switch connection to the Gray/Black wire of the Audiovox Remote Start Unit.
  • Page 12 4. Move the switch to the off (Open From Ground) position, the vehicle should shut off. 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 2 pin connector is firmly seated in the mating connector on the control module.
  • Page 13: 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. 2. Connect the Cathode, (Striped) end, of a 4000 series diode to this reference wire.
  • Page 14 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.
  • Page 15: Completing The Installation

    Retest by following the steps outlined in the NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST shown in this manual. COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION: After you have confirmed the operation of the Audiovox Remote Start unit and tested all the safety features of the system: 1.
